Obama issues a statement on Castro’s death. So does Trump. They’re rather different

To say the least.

And now Trump’s:

“Today, the world marks the passing of a brutal dictator who oppressed his own people for nearly six decades,”

“Fidel Castro’s legacy is one of firing squads, theft, unimaginable suffering, poverty and the denial of fundamental human rights.

It’s going to be fun tomorrow when the papers hit the streets. Watch how they condemn Trump for meanness, etc.

There could not be a better vehicle for expressing the vast differences between Trump and Obama.

I have seen in a couple of blogs that Castro, about a year ago, went to confession and was anointed. I presume this would mean he also received communion. I’ve been unable to find corroboration from any news organization.

This year, I think Obama issued the very first atheist Thanksgiving proclamation in American history.

That’s why Trump is president.

I doubt it because if any of those sins included murder, he priest would tell him he needs to turn himself in, or, in this case as the dictator of Cuba, to confess before his country.

Otherwise, it’s as fake as Fat Teddy, murderer or at least manslaughterer of Mary Jo Kopechne, getting a Catholic funeral mass.

Wait...

Trump speaks for the people of Cuba and those who escaped Castro’s demonic regime. He tells about a brutal regime that tyrannized Cuba’s citizens. Zer0 makes this comment: “Fidel Castro altered the course of individual lives, families, and of the Cuban nation. History will record and judge the enormous impact of this singular figure on the people and world around him.” He makes no reference to the brutality he used to transform life in Cuba. He ignores the plight of the Cuban people as if Communism needed to be severe to make it’s change on Cuban society. Zer0 seems to think that the ends justify the means and turns a blind eye to the tyranny of Marxism. Why is that? Because Zer0 is a Marxist sympathizer.

...Trump speaks for the people of Cuba and those who escaped Castro’s demonic regime....

And he speaks for decent, moral Americans.

If I had heard Teddy’s confession shortly before his death, I would have required a public statement of repentance for several sins, principally his support for baby-murder. Mary Jo would probably be on the list.

There has never been such a statement by any notorious pro-abort who has been given a big, splashy Catholic funeral. Cuomo, nothing. Beau Biden, nothing. Geraldine Ferraro, nothing.

BTW: The priests who are allowed around Kennedys, Cuomo’s, the Bidens, etc., are all reliable Mafia priests. They are there for weddings and funerals. They may hear confessions of the dying, but I guarantee you they are lifelong Democrats who don’t think abortion is a sin, let alone being “personally opposed” and supporting abortion.

Aaaugh! I made the plural of “Cuomo” using an apostrophe! Sorry!
