Cuban Dictator Fidel Castro Dead at Age 90 - FINALLY!
Conservative Angle ^

The tear-filled eulogies from the violent U.S. leftists commence in 3… 2… 1…

HAVANA (AP) — Former President Fidel Castro, who led a rebel army to improbable victory in Cuba, embraced Soviet-style communism and defied the power of 10 U.S. presidents during his half century rule, has died at age 90.

Castro’s reign over the island-nation 90 miles from Florida was marked by the U.S.-backed Bay of Pigs invasion in 1961 and the Cuban Missile Crisis a year later that brought the world to the brink of nuclear war. The bearded revolutionary, who survived a crippling U.S. trade embargo as well as dozens, possibly hundreds, of assassination plots, died eight years after ill health forced him to formally hand power over to his younger brother Raul, who announced his death late Friday on state television.

Good news. I am sure he could use some flame retardant underwear right now. Good riddance to him.
Other than that, I don't want to say anything bad about the dead.
On second thought, yes I do. He was a rotten POS. He deserves his fate.

I like the Cubans. Castro’s sister spoke to our college once and deeply apologized that her own brother had murdered so many people. I enjoyed the Desi Arnaz character on I LOVE LUCY. I believe the Cuban community voted almost totally for Trump.

Perhaps, Lord willing, this will be a pivital moment for the Cuban people, in America and on the island, and I think things will be much better.

I like that! I am going to use it today when I call to congratulate a good friend who is Cuban-American but not pro-Trump.

I’ve always had a special love for Cubanos.

We have Latino’s in our family, and I was surprised that many other Latinos consider Cubanos to be their very lazy cousins.........

I know those of the WWII generation were anything but lazy...........don’t know today’s generation.....were they too influenced by our millennials?

I heard they were going to cremate him but I think the media got it wrong. He’s really going to be buried at the wheel of a ‘56 Buick.

Everyone “soil themselves” when they kick the bucket. That’s the first thing the body does.

CNN will likely close down for the week so the whole corporation can go to the funeral. They will be led by Colon Napercuck and will wear copies of his castro shirt.

I’m certainly not a Castro fan, but I’d rather have a seen Soros kicking off as this guy in todays world is a bigger threat.

It’s not gross, it’s simply a function of the human body.
