Fidel Castro May Be Dead, But Tyranny Remains In Cuba
Daily Signal ^ | 11/25/2016 | Ana Quintana

Late Friday evening, Cuban state media reported the death of their former leader, Fidel Castro. Some will mourn his passing or even glorify his life. But for many others, not even his death will fill the void caused by his life.

For over five decades, Cubans suffered under the tyranny of Fidel and then his brother Raul. They watched the regime destroy a country and export the same perverted model of social justice throughout the developing world. My grandfather would often tell us of how he would hide indoors while Fidel’s firing squads would slaughter innocent people nearby.

Religion was criminalized, dissent was violently punished, and Cuban citizens became property of their communist state. Under Fidel’s rule, he brought the world to its closest point of nuclear war during those fateful thirteen days in 1962. He indoctrinated hate and pushed millions out of their country.

Fidel has been effectively dead for 15 years or so.

He hasn’t personally run anything for a long time.

I hope he died in great pain.

Watch for leftists jumping off buildings with this tragedy occurring so closely after Trump defeating Hillary in the election.

I knew several members of Cuban families in the late ‘60’s who fled here to escape Fidel. They were very cultured and intelligent people.

A spiritual invasion might be underway already, on the power of renewed American faith.

There were always the few who believed in God yet, but were very careful to never throw their pearls before swine. But more people may be curious now, and those who believe may find it far less difficult to share what they understand about the Lord.

Castro’s death is merely symbolic. EVERY tourist American dollar spent in Cuba enriches the communist tyrant thugs who have their boots on the throats of the Cuban people.

Has Barky ordered flags to be flown at half-staff yet?

Finishing a great 2016: "George Soros captured by Russian security in December".

The good news is that Soros just this year has been defeated twice, first by Brexit, then by Trump. Plus Russia and France have warrants for Soros arrest.

Just think: In the past 18 days alone , Trump won the election, the Clinton political holocaust that has plagued the nation for decades is finally destroyed, George Soros spent a fortune and has nothing to show for it, Obama is out of office is less than two months, Fidel is dead and Ted Kennedy is still dead. If we get anymore winning I am going to explode.

My two cents: Fidel Castro, Barack Hussein Obama, Hillary Clinton, the entire Democrat Party, are one and the same....”Satans on Earth”!!! May they all return to “Satan” and burn in “Hell” forever!!! I am confident that our great and fair Lord Almighty will meter out the justice, these low life, dictators, tryants and despots deserve!!! Freedom and Democracy for CUBA!!!

God bless America, Freedom, Justice, Equality, Opportunity, Liberty & the Pursuit of Happiness for All Americans!!!

I said to a co-worker this morning, “He was a bad guy...,” which I thought was a pretty uncontroversial statement, and I was told, “Well, there’s 2 sides to every coin!”

Ugh - purely MSM propaganda effect.
