That’s the thanks he gets for saving the country...and he did save the country.

Is he still dead?

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.

Franco is STILL dead.

[eclecticEel]

Dropping the term “honorary mayor” for a guy who’s been dead for 3+ decades makes a lot of sense, but stripping medals just seems petty.

[Colonel Kangaroo]

Franco looks a lot better when you compare him with the murdering NKVD (KGB) and international red cutthroats who were overrunning Spain. What was worse, Franco or a repeat of Stalin’s collectivization genocide on Spanish soil?

33 years after his death began the transition to democracy.

Franco is dead????

[AEMILIUS PAULUS]

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.

[GeneralisimoFranciscoFranco]

I am outraged!!!

Note screen name.

[pogo101]

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.

[PzLdr]

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

[JRios1968]

So there.

[DPMD]

That’ll teach him.
