Spain’s congress has voted in favor of digging up dictator Francisco Franco and removing his remains from the controversial Valley of the Fallen monument.

Francisco Franco is still dead

Francisco Franco is still dead

So is Chevy Chase's career.
And Franco sure as Hell beat the alternative.

[Attention Surplus Disorder]

I didn’t know he was still dead!

[Olog-hai]

Guess Podemos did not get the noticias either. «El Generalísimo Francisco Franco todavía está muerto.»

[minnesota_bound]

They want to make sure Franco is dead.

[2ndDivisionVet]

Whatever else he did, Franco saved Spain from the Communists.

[Robwin]

Leftists never forget, never forgive. He beat them in the 30s so. now they must get their posthumous revenge.

[Windflier]

Is Spain still a country? Does anyone really give a rip?

[Olog-hai]

Supporting one form of socialism over another is not saving anyone from socialism.

[a fool in paradise]

I hear there is some open real estate in Lee Circle if they want to move him to NOLA.

Franco embraced capitalism later on.

[MadMax, the Grinning Reaper]

Chevy Chase will be upset. Not! He’s a flaming liberal and has no idea who fought against whom in the Spanish Civil War.

Interestingly, Franco saved a number of French Jews fleeing Nazi occupation. I’ll bet you didn’t hear this on CNN or MSNBC or NBC, CBS, or ABC.

Franco was a very complex man, a very hard fighter and a dictator like many other European leaders (Hitler, Mussolini, Salazar, Horthy, Stetskos, etc. History will eventually judge him properly if written by honest historians without an ideological ax to grind.

Pervert leftists thirsty for their share of blood in one way or another?

[Godebert]

"Supporting one form of socialism over another is not saving anyone from socialism."

Either you don't know much about Spanish history or you're just a Red diaper baby.

[Mashood]

Appeasing the commies won’t reconcile a thing.

[Vaquero]

These are the same socialists who raped and killed Catholic nuns and priests during the Spanish Civil War. And the only public exhibition is that dopey 3rd grade art, Guernica by Marxist Picasso.

[Terry L Smith]

Gee, Mr. Wilson!

Whadda they gonna do with all those dead Nazis that fought in Spain?
