Jimmy Carter remembers Fidel Castro ‘fondly’

FTA “Carter took a step to normalize relations between the two nations....” Using any form of the word normal with Cuba or the mass murderer Castro is insane. But then again, Carter, during and after his presidency, proved once again that liberalism is indeed a mental disorder. If you would like a good look inside a Communist prison masquerading as a country, find this book by Shirley Christian “Nicaragua, A Revolution in the Family.” It demonstrates the Stalinist methods employed in every Communist hellhole to intimidate, terrorize, and control the populace. Neighborhood Committees on EACH STREET BLOCK to control and report any wrongdoing, or wrong thinking. Rationing of food is another technique employed to control the masses.

Jimmah the traitor.

Anyone who remembers Castro ‘fondly’ is ipso facto mentally defective.

You took the words right out of my fingertips! OF COURSE he did!!

I'm really old and can remember standing in a phone booth at Ft. Belvoir, VA (we were on full alert) one cold and rainy October night in 1962 speaking to my bride-to-be in Cleveland a few weeks before our November wedding day not sure we would survive the night!

Fortunately, around the same time, TV journalist (yes, Virginia, there was a time when there were good people in that vocation) JOHN SCALI was in a DC coffee shop in a "back channel" meeting with the Soviet Ambassador. Somehow, Scali and the Ambassador worked out a way to avoid the threatened nuclear holocaust.

As for Fidel, I'm also old enough to remember the wry joke that accompanied his rise to power: "Castro got his job through THE NEW YORK TIMES!" The the glowing reportage about "The Robin Hood of the Sierra Maestra Mountains" convinced most folks here that he was a wonderful humanitarian, not a COMMUNIST who would establish a mini workers' paradise and provide the USSR with a base in our hemisphere.

The NYT is STILL at it, aren't they?

The first President that I ever voted for was Reagan against Carter in 1980. I have voted for the Republican candidate in every Presidential election since (even though I have had to hold my nose a few times to do it).

"Carter was an absolute disaster for America"

He gave us Reagan.

What is wrong with these people? Geez!

[Secret Agent Man]

The worst president got regular charter flights back on to Dictator Island.

Jimmy has never met an anti-American totalitarian he didn’t like.

[ronnie raygun]

Another idiot

[TYVets]

People are forgetting Castro’s role in the Cuban Missile Crisis that brought the world to the brink of nuclear war. That alone should disgrace him forever.

Agreed

[wardaddy]

Fooking lefties

He was a sub commander wasn’t he once?

Unbelievable

And off the charts IQ to be so daft

[Rummyfan]

former President Jimmy Carter had kind words for Cuban dictator Fidel Castro, who died Friday, saying in a statement he and his wife “remember fondly our visits with him in Cuba and his love of his country.

He loved his country? Maybe but he sure did his best to destroy it. I'm sure Hitler loved Germany. If Jimmy were around in 1945 he probably would have praised Adolph as a dog lover who did so much to reduce unemployment.

Carter face palm moment number... 1,00?,???...

Okay, so I’ve lost count.

[Deplorable American1776]

Jimmy, see if you can stay there...

[CodeToad]

Liberals have never met a tyrant they didn’t love.

I was kicked out of PoliSci for telling my PoliSci professor ‘He is a stupid peanut farmer’ when she (she looked like an ugly HelenThomas) told the class to vote for Jimmy.

Just like Trump is getting...a mess...
