The verbal niceties showered upon Fidel Castro since his death have been disgusting, to say the least. President Obama offered a milquetoast response to Castro. Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau went a step further and praised the murderous tyrant following his death, calling him a “remarkable leader.”
Mark Levin, on his radio show Monday night, had a much different tone: “This is a horrific, evil, demonic human being. A genocidal maniac. In a small country, killing tens of thousands of people, torturing, imprisoning, and breaking up families. People trying to flee his island nation murdered on the high seas … he was a drug runner with that stupid little brother of his, Raul … here’s a guy who banned Christmas and almost started a nuclear war!”
What’s the reason for the praise from the Left? Well, said Levin, “the Left loves dictatorships.”

The left ale=ways sides with evil. That is all you need to understand.
Sorry for the “e=”. My computer is inserting that into much that I type.
Thanks Mark! We’ve got this one handled too.
We really dont care what Levin thinks. I’ll say this every time someone post his drivel. He actively worked to help put Hillary in the WH.
Fidel must be roasting in hell by now. Hopefully he is sharing a cell with Jeffrey Dahmer!
The way he treated President elect Trump, He has no room to talk about anybody.
Agreed. Levin rendered himself irrelevant when he refused to get on board to defeat the evil we faced here.
He did finally, grudgingly, and now wants to lecture.
Pffft.
So Mark says something we didn’t already know? LOL! In a rag like “Conservative” Review?
These azz hats are so conservative they tried to cut Trump’s legs out from under him to get Clinton elected. Along with putz Levin.
Persona non-gratis, around here.
Beautifully said. I see RED at the name Mark Levin, and also Conservative Review, the web where Amanda Carpenter the spider spewed her poison, along with CNN.
Absolute rubbish!
It's about time that people stop throwing these slanders about. If you have proof, that is evidence not conclusions, produce it, otherwise give it a rest.
In fact, Mark Levin has done real work creating the conditions and the political climate which help elect a Republican House , a Republican Senate and Trump in 2016. He helped shape the reality which discredited Barack Obama. He ceaselessly supported the Tea Party movement and a, more than other commentators, offered up his microphone to longshot conservative candidates like Dave Bratt, Atty. Gen. Ken Cuccinelli and others, some of whom won and some of whom lost but all of whom were undermined by the Republican establishment.
Levin endorsed candidates who were likely to lose because they were conservative and he did so knowing he was risking his reputation. That speaks of real moral and political courage.
No one educated the American public to the corruption of the Republican establishment more than did Mark Levin.
agreed!!! It’s time some Freepers grow up!
Ted Cruz was NOT, is NOT and will never be eligible to hold the office of president. (Neither will Marco Polo ever be eligible.) One cannot get more corrupt than to try and foist an ineligible candidate upon US!!! And the federal judiciary do NOT get to call the final judgment. “We the people’ got our say... do you hear ‘the people sing’? Yet?
Conservatives never ever mess with the ‘original’ intent of our Constitution...
He was a NeverTrumper for a while and talked about Trump not being able to win.
Before he was nominated, I promised to support him as the nominee and I did so. After the nomination, Levin criticized Trump for positions which Levin believed to be unsound but he did not actively work to support Hillary and he was not a "Never Trumper," rather, he stated before the election that he would vote for Trump. Levin defended his criticism of Trump on issues arguing that it was necessary to put pressure on Trump, a former Democrat, to ensure that he campaigned and governed as a conservative.
We are after all a conservative forum here and not, presumably, the Trump Republic forum.
Before the nomination it seems that we were all free, or should have been, to criticize competitors for the nomination. God knows Trump supporters did so and did so in the meanest style. After the nomination it was, of course, a different story but even then there is a difference between criticism of policy positions and support of Hillary and certainly room to criticize policy positions without being a (gasp) "Never Trumper."
Sympathy for his movement in this country led to the U.S. announcement that it was ending military aid to Batista. Understandably, this demoralized Batista's military (still much stronger militarily than Castro), and was quickly followed by the triumphal procession of Castro from the Sierra Maestra to Havana. The message was that the United States didn't think he was too radical. So ordinary Cubans -- lacking a free press, and having nothing to go by but the propaganda of both sides -- figured they had little to fear from him either. Little did they know.
I rejoiced at the time, and continued to support Castro during the early waves of criticism. I was learning Spanish, and while in Miami listened to countless hours of regular Cuban broadcasts on the AM dial, and later in South Carolina to broadcasts on shortwave. It soon became evident, though, that Castro had lied about his intentions. (He was not “pushed” into the arms of the Soviet Union by American opposition, as some still claim. There’s good evidence from his earlier life and a closer study of the movement itself that he was a Communist all along — in thought, if not in official party membership — who used intentional deception to gather a broad range of support.)
He established a dictatorship worse than Batista’s that has lasted over half a century. He brought Cubans neither freedom nor prosperity. More than a tenth of the population has fled the country, some like the “balseros” on makeshift floating devices at great risk to their lives. In Cuba a kind of negative natural selection has taken place, with for the most part the brave and enterprising Cubans leaving, and the timid and dependent remaining.
I don’t agree with the name calling Trump did in his campaign. But I voted for him because Hillary cannot be elected to complete the 0bama destruction.
Mark Levin is holding Trump to his word, what is wrong with that? Trump has been Democrat, Independent, Republican. I personally don’t trust any politician so Trump should be on watch too, especially since he changes his views so drastically. His cabinet choices so far have seemed to be excellent. If the pressure is not on will he continue? I don’t know. He is not my god and therefore I don’t trust him. Keep the pressure on even to make Trump do the right things. He might do it on his own, but why trust your future to that? And he should claim Barack Obama’s father killed Kennedy!
What a tragedy for a country that under Batista had been one of the most prosperous in Latin America. True, it was in need of a better safety net for the very poor and unfortunate — which could have been accomplished with ordinary democratic reforms — but not of a radical Communist revolution. That revolution produced the usual results that we see in other parts of the globe.
Most people have the impression that Cuba was a primitive country pre-1959, so it had little to lose. Not true. According to the Economic Commission for Latin America of the United Nations, “Economic activity in Cuba during 1957 reached the highest levels of the post-war period.” [That’s with a guerrilla war taking place.] The gross product in real terms increased by “something more than 8 per cent”. Cuba was second in Latin America in consumption of electric energy. It couldn’t have just been the elite using that electricity. In Cuba there was a solid basis for prosperity and for expanding middle and upper classes. Castro’s regime destroyed that, and during the Cuban missile crisis brought the world very close to nuclear war.
Though at one time I admired Castro, and listened to so many of his speeches that I could give good imitations of him in Spanish — he had a very distinctive speaking style — I now have no regrets that he’s dead (beyond the ordinary ones I feel at the reminder of human mortality).
