Finally....Fidel is dead

[TJDave]

Christmas came early in Miami.

[JustRalph]

Good riddance!

The world is a better place today!

One down.......one to go.......

[Actor]

"Any man's death diminishes me" -- John Donne

[Inner Dirt]

Burn in Hell. (Isn't that the opposite of Rest in Peace?)

[LottaKash]

So much misery, pain, and death associated with this Ugly Commie Man...

A worthless human being in the end, which is finally here for him..

[Actor]

Burn in Hell. (Isn't that the opposite of Rest in Peace?)Hell is an unincorporated community in Michigan. Peace is a village in Korea.

[Clocker]

"Any man's death diminishes me" -- John Donne

He obviously never knew Fidel. Or Hitler. Or Stalin. If he had, he would not have said something that dumb. Some people just make the world a better place by their departure.

[chrisl]

Sean Penn.. Really could use some support right now. And a good shoulder.

[Marshall Bennett]

In a perfect world assholes like Penn wouldn't be allowed to even live here.
One of the things I liked about JFK is his hatred for Castro. If he'd lived and gone on to be president another 5 years, he'd gotten rid of the tyrant one way or another.

[NorCalGreg]

Fidel's dead.


That's what I said.

[DSB]

That bastard took power before I entered kindergarten in 1959.

One of my goals in life was to outlive him.

Time to crack open a cold one and delight in my victory.

Cuba libre!

[Jess Hawsen Arown]

...when he said Only The Good Die Young...

...as Cuban Americans take to the streets in celebration of the death of their personal evil.

Sadly, prisoners in Cuba (known as ALL of the Cuban people) must keep their cheers to themselves as prisoners in the open air can become prisoners in tiny jail cells if they let their feelings public.

But it is a step in the right direction. While inactive in his later years, Fidel remained a symbol of what Communism and Socialism means to people under its heavy hand.

Is freedom now possible for that island so close our shores?

This POS's death enhances all men.
Should have happened years ago.

I hope he suffered unbearable pain his last days.

He burns in Hell - I laugh.

Another example of why JFK, a self-proclaimed liberal, would be hated by today's liberals.

Your point is another example of why I tell people that 'this is not your father's Democratic Party.' The loons who call themselves liberals, today, besmirch the names of real liberals like JFK who actually stood for something positive instead of 'hate everything America stands for.'

[wisconsin]

Let's see what Bozobama has to say or praise about this man, and more importantly, who he decides to send over for the funeral (should be no one).

[Tom]

I assume he will give a glowing epitaph and probably attend himself, so he can get a whole crap load of bows to commies and socialists before we evict him.

I am not sure of his health theses days, but the perfect representative to send would be Don Rickles~!

[barahona44]

Let's see what Bozobama has to say or praise about this man, and more importantly, who he decides to send over for the funeral (should be no one).
Not exactly a shock, but Mr. Peanut, James Earl Carter, will be attending.

This morning Satan said "Bienvenido, mi amigo"

[woodtoo]

I approve this funeral.

[Tom]

Hey, before they throw the dirt on this dirtbag, throw his POS brother in the grave, THEN cover it up.

I'll drink to that. :ThmbUp:

[JustRalph]

Obama skips Thatcher, Nancy Reagan, Scalia funerals.......

If he goes to Castro's......... :bang:

The shit I'm reading on twitter about Castro being "good for his people" is pure insanity. Jesse Jackson, Jimmy Carter all praising Castro? Now Obama praises him?

Castro's Cuba is the blueprint the left wants for the U.S. THINK ABOUT THAT

[PhantomOnTour]

La Revolucion has lasted over 50yrs, where's the prosperity?

[Marshall Bennett]

I'm as thrilled as anyone else to see him gone. I don't like all the attention given however to the thousands of party goers on the streets of Miami. It's almost primitive in character. If they wish to celebrate so publicly over death, get on a bunch of boats and go back to Cuba and do it there. :ThmbDown:

[Clocker]

It worked well in Venezuela. :p

From your mouth to my ears:

Trump’s statement on Castro’s death condemns his crimes, Obama’s statement silent

A pitiful statement from the White House. (Or, if you prefer, “pathetic.”) The defense will be that Obama worked too hard on rapprochement to blow it now with a harsh condemnation that might antagonize Raul, but all that does is confirm the worst fears of opponents of the policy. The price of reconciliation with illiberal regimes tends to be willful blindness towards their abuses. Here’s Obama covering his eyes:

http://hotair.com/archives/2016/11/26/trumps-statement-on-castros-death-condemns-his-crimes-obamas-statement-silent/

I know Trump made a statement that differed greatly in substance from Obama's tepid remarks. If I find it, I'll post it here.

[boxcar]

Donald Trump condemns Fidel Castro as a 'brutal dictator': 'His legacy is of firing squads and unimaginable suffering'

President-elect condemns Cuban revoloutionary for denying "fundamental human rights" to those living under his regime

http://www.independent.co.uk/news/people/donald-trump-condemns-fidel-castro-as-a-brutal-dictator-a7441006.html

The tone and substance of Trump's remarks were very different from the Commie Sympathizer-in-Chief's!

[Actor]

Hey, before they throw the dirt on this dirtbag, throw his POS brother in the grave, THEN cover it up.Wasn't he cremated earlier today?

imo....

Rank and file liberals that think they are getting the short end of the stick when it comes to jobs/wages/Wall St bailouts, that want reasonable regulations to ensure a cleaner environment, that want equal opportunity and equal rights for all, that fight racism and bigotry, that don't want the US to become too involved overseas but want to protect America, that worry about corporate power etc... are all decent people.

The current leftist leadership and media are subversive globalists that hate America, hate American values, hate American history, hate God, double hate Jesus, hate white people and/or being white, take sides with our enemies, purposely undercut our security, promote behaviors that undermine our society, believe the ends justifies the means, and worse. Their leader has been Obama. Thank God he will be gone shortly and thank God the MSM is getting more discredited by the day.

People like Obama and his many friends in the MSM are the enemies of both conservatives and the true liberals I count among my best friends (even those that have been fooled by this divisive semi treasonous president).

[Tom]

In Miami, where the FREE Cubans live now.
I think Jesse and Jimmy should go live there if they love it so much.

:lol:

Btw trump is a god. The other leaders all sucked up and lied about being sad this guy died.

[zico20]

What a glorious day it is. They should be celebrating in Miami for days, if not weeks, for this bastards death. Now we need Raul to kick the bucket next week. An evil man has departed this Earth, and we are all better off. :jump:

The oldest Castro brother, Ramon, died last February and of course Fidel, yesterday.But as all horseplayers know, trifectas are not easy to win. :D

[Steve 'StatMan']

Wasn't he cremated earlier today?
No, he always looked like that.

RU serious? 0bma puts him as one of the top leaders of the 20th century.

[Clocker]

Tweedledumb and Tweedledumber.

The Canadian Prime Minister, Justin Trudeau, today issued the following statement on the death of former Cuban President Fidel Castro:



“It is with deep sorrow that I learned today of the death of Cuba’s longest serving President.

“Fidel Castro was a larger than life leader who served his people for almost half a century. A legendary revolutionary and orator, Mr. Castro made significant improvements to the education and healthcare of his island nation.

“While a controversial figure, both Mr. Castro’s supporters and detractors recognized his tremendous dedication and love for the Cuban people who had a deep and lasting affection for “el Comandante”.



And of course the circus would not be complete without hearing from Jesse Jackson.

In many ways, after 1959, the oppressed the world over joined Castro's cause of fighting for freedom & liberation -- he changed the world. RIP

How about Pope Francis comments.

“I express my sentiments of sorrow to Your Excellency and other family members of the deceased dignitary, as well as to the people of this beloved nation.”

A guy that murdered tens of thousands of Christians gets a warm reception from the Pope. Incredible.

No wonder I left the Catholic church years ago. First, the church doesn't condemn child molestation and now the last two Pope's are anti USA. Besides, I don't bow to a Roman dictator like the rest of his flock.

[woodtoo]

Fidel Castro was a symbol of the struggle for justice in the shadow of empire. Presente. :ThmbDown:

Yes! I understand the Cubans have asked a prominent Republican Congressman (or three) to explain how the hell one sells the Electoral College to the general population. :jump:

And, of course, the Cubans will need all the U.S. info available on that other bastion of U.S tomfoolery - gerrymandering. :rolleyes:

As I said in another thread on the topic, why should inner-city gutter crud decide an election? It fits perfectly now with the huge ever-growing infestation. Democrats would never lose another general election.

I've been a defender of the Catholic Church in the past, but I've been saying from day one that this pope is a leftist screwball that is barely Catholic, let alone qualified to lead them.

[HalvOnHorseracing]

That's a boneheaded quote.
Well, the timing may not have been sublime, and he may have picked an unfortunate example, but Donne's thought was that we are all interconnected, if not in reality then by the fact that we all will have to face death someday. The important point is that Donne wasn't specifically thinking of Castro when he wrote the piece.

No man is an island,
Entire of itself.
Each is a piece of the continent,
A part of the main.
If a clod be washed away by the sea,
Europe is the less.
As well as if a promontory were.
As well as if a manor of thine own
Or of thine friend's were.
Each man's death diminishes me,
For I am involved in mankind.
Therefore, send not to know
For whom the bell tolls,
It tolls for thee.

[Ocala Mike]

Except for the dissimilar doctrines they espouse, is there really that much difference between Trumpism and Castroism?

One charismatic egocentric ruler with a populist following is gone in Cuba while
another one rises to power in the US. A powerful personality with utter disdain for the press riding a revolutionary wave against the status quo while threatening to throw his political rivals in jail and promising the downtrodden masses things that he may or may not deliver. No coincidence that both of them are heroes for Putin.

Viva La Revolucion!

Yea I agree, what religious leader would practice forgiveness and mercy and be a voice for the poor and helpless.

[classhandicapper]

If that's the only things he talked about, he'd be OK in my book. But he speaks out on things he has no expertise in whatsoever and has made other highly questionable comments.

You couldn't fill a thimble with what he understands about economics. But he comments on the subject all the time.

How can you be pope and ask "who am I to judge"?.

As a man, of course he is correct. None of us can judge. By that's why he's the damn pope. He's supposed to be the supreme expert at interpreting scripture and telling Catholics what is right and wrong. When you say, "who am I to judge" you are throwing up your hands saying everything goes and God will sort it out at the end.

Imagine if I asked Andy Beyer if Arrogate was fast and he told me "who am I to judge". :lol:

I'm not familiar with Castro's disdain for the press and was too young to read the papers at the time, but I'd be willing to bet he had more support from the NY Times and Washington Post than Trump. ;)

I also don't think Trump has killed tens of thousands of people yet.

What would the Pope have to say about Castro's death in order to gain your approval?

[EasyGoer89]

Either the truth, or nothing at all.

[Tom]

The Pope should know when to keep his big mouth shut.
He made a total fool of himself by justifying this POS dictator.


He should go talk to God - maybe HE is interested in what this guy has to say. When he talks stupid, I have no interest.

[Hank]

Viva Fidel! :cool:

[Tom]

So Hank, can you list 3 great things the dictator did to improve Cuba or its people?
