DIDN'T THEY INVITE CYNTHIA McKINNEY? - AT 7:48 A.M. ET: From AFP: Communist Cuba marked the 50th anniversary of its Revolution Thursday faced with an uncertain future, its iconic, ailing leader Fidel Castro withdrawn from power and the economy in dire straits.
COMMENT: If you want some laughs today, just read the tributes from every wacky leftist in the world. This is their day - 50 years of oppression and poverty. What could be better?
And AP added thus.
During his decades in power, Fidel Castro expropriated foreign companies, jailed political enemies and drove well over a million Cubans into exile.
But he also introduced historic reforms, including major education and health care access advances
And Hitler loved his dog. The depth of AP's comments have come to equal that of the Platte River which is often said to be, "Too thick to drink and too thin to plow.
Well...Pierre Trudeau visited Cuba...and his Margaret sang in Spanish for Fidel...and Fidel came to Pierre's funeral in Montreal...and Canada swallowed all that!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteNo wonder our Conservative Prime Minister never knows when the three opposition parties will form a coalition to kick his minority government out. Every time he tries to re-organize our mess, they bark à la Castro...
Thousands of people woulld be alive today if Kennedy had done the right thing and wiped out Castro and Che.
ReplyDeleteYou're so right...I was in Houston (with the British Consulate) during that mess with Kennedy, and we're the ones who nearly got wiped out. 750 miles from Russian Missiles!!!!
ReplyDeleteWe couldn't believe it...
But Kennedy was so suave….so debonair….so well spoken…and our FIRST Catholic President….His youthful vigor touched the world! Why he even talked with our enemies without an agenda because all could be worked out…. He represented true Change. Change you could believe in!
ReplyDeleteHe almost got us into WWIII and lost Cuba…
Hmmmmmmmmm
Claudia... I had to rescue your comment and publish it this way...
ReplyDelete"Yes! I fear the future...
But each country has its moment! When I was in Houston (the French-Canadian wife of the British vice-consul), and the group would discuss the American flops, I would dare to say the name of Chamberlain.We don't always have a Churchill and a Reagan to brag about...
It's hard to say Happy New Year, presently. But I offer my best wishes to you, and yours, And I'll lift my glass to your good health.
It's reassuring somehow that people like you are aware of what's going on. So many of us are totally unconscious. It's frightening...I pray for good leaders to emerge from our chaotic times.Surely God will listen..."
I don't what happened but it just deepn sixed itself abd then wouldn't post. The Internet has strange and mysterious ways.

And than you for the kind words. Actually I think that there are many people wiser than me who also understand the many deep problems we are in.
