Franco ping

[Goetz_von_Berlichingen]

"The Spanish Civil War . . . is often described as the last purely idealistic cause of the twentieth century."

I agree

Viva Don Francisco Franco, General de los heroicos ejercitos y Caudillo de España por la gracia de Dios.

Thanks for the ping, this was a refreshing read. I'm glad to see there are some people still around who havn't swallowed the lie that Franco was the very bogey man. Was he pure as the driven snow? I don't think so, and frankly he most likely would not have been as successful if he had been.

My favorite analogy to use with Franco is Jack Nicholson's character in "A Few Good Men". Franco was a military man, which meant he didn't do politics, he destroyed threats, he found the enemy and he killed them. The liberals might not like that, they may be sickened by the death he unleashed, they may be offended by his autocratic style and Roman salutes, but at the end of the day, the whole world 'wanted Franco on that wall; we needed him on that wall'.
