Castro was resilient. No question. For all you elite liberals set to wag your finger at US on Castro's accomplishments and philosophies, ask and answer the following:
- Would the so-called oppressed in the US living off welfare prefer to be poor in the US driving a 2002 model automobile in Detroit, or living among the "equal" driving around a 1958 auto in Havana?
- If Castro's programs and philosophies are so great, how come they require people to be held in country against their will?
- For all of you Liberals concerned about free speech and loving Castro, how would you like Trump to adopt Castro's practice of arresting, imprisoning, beating, and/or murdering dissidents? Look at all of the rhetoric being hurled at Trump. Think Castro would put up with that?
- On Healthcare, how come more of US are not flocking to Havana for surgery?
So let me get this straight. We've been punishing Cuba for what, 60 years now with economic sanctions, and your complaint is that it wasn't a nice place to live?
Is this your argument?
Castro is something we created (See JFK Quote above), and probably made worse by our policies. If we had opened normal relations with Cuba in the 1990's, Castro would be out of power by now. Instead, we have a noisy group in South Florida dictating bad policies because they can't admit they were wrong.
