Franco kept Hitler waiting for hours, and managed to keep Spain neutral during WWII.

Many US-friendly WWII combatants were smuggled back to Allied countries. Franco kept a lid on crime until his death (of natural causes).

Leftists who were officers in the urban gendarmes, the Assault Guards, murdering the leader of the Right in the Cortes and the most prominent Catholic conservative in the country, Calvo Sotelo, pretty much proved to the dimmest and most cowardly bourgeoisie what the Left was going to do unless stopped, period.

The Left will change that as they practice cultural cleansing.

As a very lib elementary school teacher told our class circa 1958, ‘Yes, Franco sent some troops to fight for Germany. But they were real volunteers, not like the Chinese People’s Volunteers in Korea.’

Sounds like NOLA. The city had twenty plus years of black mayors and city councils and somehow other than the obviously controversial ‘Battle of Liberty Place’ monument had no trouble coexisting with the very large statue s of Lee and PGT Beauregard. Porky Pig Landrieu thought he was going to become some sort of multi-cultural diversity czar in Hillary's administration (who everyone knew would win big) with the assistance of his renegade buddy Walter Isaacson if he could pull the statues down. Life does sometimes give people what they deserve. Porky Pig was about to have his big moment at the Aspen Forum to gloat over his virtue signaling when NOLA got slammed with a big storm and the S&WB system failed big time flooding hundreds of homes and businesses. Then as he was trying to explain that global warming was the culprit not his sorry contemptible administration Hildabeast got sacked. Since then no one has heard anything about Porky Pig other than he has left town and severed all ties here. I expect big sister is fixing him up with some K Street gig.

Saw that one as well— the Spanish Civil War was particularly vicious. The current events of the leftists trying to keep their hold on the spanish parliament, is indicative of the Sovereign shift of the countries of the EU. Brexit, Italexit,
and soon Spain-exit? The German nazi dream of a European Common Market run by them... is backfiring from their very socialism and the social welfare system bankrupted by their own terrible demographics— not enough baby real Germans being born... for several generations— to keep up the capitation/tax support. Answer—why— import a bunch of muzzies with no skills— who hate....jews. Yep, the ticket. Germans actuating a EU wave of muslim/ Moorish invasion.

Meant to say to you— great analysis of the real time happenings in Spain. 700 years— needed to refresh that fact in my mind. The “Moorish” architectural conversions of Catholic cathedrals... everything fits the pattern. The muzzy caliphate want’s their colony back.

Have some French friends (no doubt considered... “nuts”) reviving the memory of Charles Martel and Tours. Islam is not a religion— it is a political force masked as “religion”. Come to think of it... like the religion of enviro-whackos, and the democrat party in the US— it is Statism as the religion in the same manner, and partnering with these miscreants and their financing (used be with Talwaleed, until bin Salman the Crown Prince changed all that).

Pray they get kicked out... down the curb in the sewer. Out dated proven failure, trying to re-destroy great Spain. Get them out of the EU.... too!.
