Manuel Martinez, Fled Cuba. DESTROYS Oregon Lawmaker’s Gun Control Attempt
http://noisyroom.net ^ | February 8, 2014 | Terresa Monroe-Hamilton

At a public hearing on proposed gun control legislation, Manuel Martinez, a man who escaped Cuba in 1962 after opposing Fidel Castro and being imprisoned for it, blasts Oregon gun control lawmakers in an impassioned speech that only someone that has lived through communism and Marxism, only someone that watched innocent men, women and children murdered by their own government, only someone that fought against his whole country being enslaved by a dictator, can give.

“They come here in those dog and pony show and cry that their going to protect people. You’re going to protect nobody! I want to know what is behind it? Do you know what is behind the problem we have in this country with it’s Marxism,” Martinez said.

He continues, saying “Marxism is not coming, Marxism is here! Marxism has been in this country for quite a while now. And the politicians allow that because they are ignorant or they’re part of the plot!”

“Don’t sell me this. A very powerful man tried to sell me this 50-something years ago, I didn’t buy it, do you think I am going to buy it now after pushing 80 years?” Martinez said. “This is Marxism, plain and clear.”

“They put this dog and pony show saying hey, we are going to protect you. No, what they did was enslave a country,” Martinez said. “They destroyed a country the same way that this country is going to be destroyed if we continue in this fashion. This is what you’re selling here!” Martinez said, holding up old communist magazines from Cuba and stating “This is what you selling here!! You are not selling protection! You don’t care about if we die or live! THIS IS WHAT YOU’RE SELLING!!!

Yup. My in-laws got out of Cuba. My Father in-law told me before the ‘08 election that he had seen this before and foretold all that has happened in the last 5 years.

A few years ago, I was talking to a doctor that fled from Cuba. He said that 0bama was exactly like a younger Castro in how he seemed to ‘captivate’ his followers with charisma and lofty speeches. He said it was almost like seeing a ghost.

The response of the lefties is quite predictable. They can’t argue with him, so they’ll just ignore him.

I would love drink a couple bottles of wine and talk late in to the night with your in-laws.

Their experiences should be carried on by future generations. I hope you have many children that spend many hours listening to their grandparents wisdom.

Manuel Martinez is what true “PATRIOTISM” is all about. He has seen with his own eyes and recognizes from experience what is happening to our country right now.

We must listen to his words and his temper or we lose what he lost long ago!

The time for speeches is almost done.

Yes, my wife says the same thing and has predicted everything that has happened. Every time Obemba is on TV she says, “CASTRO!”

BUMP

Should be mandatory viewing for all grade school kids.

Just shared Mr. Martinez’s video with my 9 year old. Then spent time showing her pictures and facts on Nazi Germany, Pol Pot, China and Cuba. How man/govt is so trustworthy; especially with an unarmed populace.
