Democratic Presidential Candidate and self-proclaimed Socialist Bernie Sanders may be in hot water after a video was uncovered that shows him glorifying communist murderer, Fidel Castro.
Castro is often depicted as a “benevolent” dictator because he made healthcare and education free in Cuba. But as one Cuban man recalls, “free” doesn’t mean “better.”
“The fact is that at the infirmary, the thermometer was broken, and at the clinic lab, there was a long line of upset people, while the lab technician held a cheerful telephone conversation, indifferent to any complaint.
At the “Fajardo”, the attention in the first stage was a little better, but it all returned to what is normal here, when the admission process began. To sum up, I was laid out in the waiting room, trembling with fever, with a vein of my right arm channeled, for about an hour and a half, just because no one had confirmed that my bed was ready.”

“When the doctors arrived, the treatment changed. And so did the diagnosis. Three students and two professors examined me in that round, and they all agreed I did not have pneumonia.”

He was forced to wait for analysis, because the machine was broken.
“I was asked if I had recently undergone any checkup, and given my negative answer, they decided to run a complete one, including the TAC (a computerized Tomography). It was Friday.
So, I would have to stay the entire weekend at the hospital, waiting for the repair of the TAC device, which was out of order at the time.”
He wraps up:
“What’s the objective then, of the posters reading: “Your health care is free, but it costs…”, which we also see as television spots? Does the fact that it costs nothing to us, but to the State, as they let us know, justify the mistreatment and the wrong diagnosis?”
One can only assume that the state of the educational system is not much better.
Though that might sound horrifying, these are the reasons Bernie Sanders praised Castro in a 1985 video interview.
“In 1961, [America] invaded Cuba, and everybody was totally convinced that Castro was the worst guy in the world,” said Sanders during an Aug. 8, 1985 interview on the CCTV Center for Media & Democracy’s Channel 17/ Town Meeting Television, Chittenden County’s local government access station.
“All the Cuban people were going to rise up in rebellion against Fidel Castro. They forgot that he educated their kids, gave their kids health care, totally transformed society,” he said.
“You know, not to say Fidel Castro and Cuba are perfect – they are certainly not – but just because Ronald Reagan dislikes these people does not mean to say the people in these nations feel the same way,” Sanders argued.
Killing the people is OK, as long as you make the trains run on time, or perform some other really cool service.
Why do we even bother calling them Democrats anymore? Can we just skip that and just refer to them for what they are? Communists?
Free education, we can do it here if the professors teach for free!
Why not? It worked for Obama.
Now only Haiti has a worse poverty rate in Latin America. Thanks Fidel...for the poverty and the oppression.
The Clinton Organized Crime Family doesn’t miss a beat...while Hitlery is playing victim in front of the House Select Committee on Benghazi, the Dirty Tricks Division is shoveling dirt on B.S. (Bernie Sanders).
Webb out, Biden out, Sanders on his way out, O’Malley on life support, Chafee no vital signs. The field is clear for PIAPS...unless a DOJ indictment is in the works, which doesn’t seem likely now.
This will help him with the electorate we have today.
Not to mention, “Che” was responsible for the cold blooded murder of hundreds, if not thousands, of Cuban citizens. Many he executed himself. Fidel’s “comrade” in the “struggle for freedom” for the Cuban people.
Let us not forget that we who were alive at the time of the Cuban Revolution are in the minority. Most American voters do not know who Batista was, do not remember the Bay of Pigs, have never heard of the Cuban Missile Crisis, and couldn't care less about any of that.
What they DO "know" is that Baraq Obummer recently opened up relations with Cuba and "stopped decades of unfair embargoing against the Cuban people".
Ol' commie Bernie's message will sound just right to them.
We are so screwed.
This is going to be a major resume enhancer for him with the millennials.
