Madrid's city hall Monday stripped former Spanish dictator Francisco Franco of his title as honorary mayor and adopted son of the capital, 33 years after his death began the transition to democracy. Councilors of all political colors unanimously voted to remove the titles, as well as medals Madrid conferred on the right-wing general, a spokesman for the council said.

It doesn’t look good for him. He’s voting in Chicago.

Yep, we’re supposed to cry rivers for the Communist political murderers who tried to destroy Spain but nary a tear for the ordinary honest, hard-working victims of mad red schemes stretching from Lenin’s Red Terror through the nightmares of Pol Pot and Mao and beyond.

Where in on earth did that photo of an a$$ on a horse (Nagin) come from? His wearing of a uniform shirt is an insult to all of us that served our country.

I guess these people view themselves as virtuous in stripping medals from a man dead 30-35 years. Kind of like the ancient Egyptians; when they hated a Pharaoh they chiseled out his name from the stone monuments and thought they had harmed the dead.

I don’t know much about Franco, but this seems childish. What next? A public urinal erected over Franco’s gravesite? Yeah, THAT’ll show ... someone ... something.

Lefties are so good at biting the ankles of dead people.

[Slings and Arrows]

That'll show him.
