Holding his own in his fight to remain dead (quoting SNL, back when it was funny).
Franco saved Spain. First from the communists and then not getting involved in WWII.
Japanese intel during WW2 was largely run out neutral Spain’s offices abroad, payback for the Spanish-American War.
I hope the family finds the old stiff a nice, quiet plot.
This just in: Chevy Chase’s career is still dead.
Remember when Hugo Chavez had the remains of Simon Bolivar exhumed to prove or not that he was poisoned? Freakin leftists also gotta disturb the dead over their agenda. Despicable cretins.
I am not in favor of digging up old dictators, Soviet leaders, former enemies, those involved with the Lost Cause, and celebrities who have lost popularity. Grant was a known drunkard and Washington was a slave holder, let them all all rest.
I was talking to a Spanish girl about thirty years ago. She was a very bright girl — “all A’s”, and very nice. She was over here learning conversational English. Anyhow, the subject of WWII was going around the table, and she seemed a little arrogant about how the rest of Europe was stupid for fighting a big nasty war like that. I asked her about the Spanish civil war, and she had nothing. She didn’t know it happened. I explained how the Blitzkrieg tactics were partially developed by the Germans who fought in that war. She was completely dumbstruck.
Propaganda can be very effective.
Now, I look around at the young American kids, and I see similar ignorance, ignorance created by the socialist fifth column.
