When I was at Gitmo in '95, babysitting Cuban and Haitian refugees, a Cuban told me when Castro died and Raul took over, the revolution would begin. He said Cubans hated Raul not only because he was a Commie and a fascist, but a homo as well.

Here's hoping...

Scouts Out! Cavalry Ho! God Bless Texas!

The people in Poland could not understand why we did not rescue them from the Soviets.

I have spent long ours with them in Europe listening to that. They said, “why didn’t you come for us? You did for the French”

My Grandfather was an UNRRA colonel who brought as many DPs out of the East as he possibly could in 1946. He married one after my Grandmother divorced him.

He was there in Czechoslovakia in 1939 when the secret cable disclosing the Von Ribbentrop-Molotov agreement came through. He spent the next year getting as many Jews and patriot Czechs out of the country when it was clear War was coming.

He told me many times that had we pre-emptively struck against Hitler NONE of these things would have come to pass. And as for Stalin, he was absolutely sure that Patton should have continued on across the Elbe and liberated the Russian people from the Soviet gangsters who oppressed them.

I have spoken with Russians who were jailed by Stalin and then put to work as Engineers to build his armaments. They hated his very name. RUSSIANs, not “Soviets”.

What would the world look like if FDR wasn’t a gdamn traitor who sold out Eastern Europe to those thugs?

Let me tell you: 60 million Russians, Ukrainians, Poles, Hungarians, Belorussians, Czechs, Slovaks, Ruthenians and Galicians would live on in their descendants instead of being dead in the Trans-Siberian gulags they were sent to.

And THAT’s why Fidel Alejandro Castro Ruiz should have been dumped HARD a long time ago: for the millions in Latin America whose lives were ruined by his deranged psychopathy.

Raul is 85 - hopefully he too will pass soon.....

Question is, what will happen then in Cuba?

What does any of this sturm und drang mean if there is no God?

The fool hath said in his heart, there is no God.

God wanted to focus the souls of the Polish upon something higher than the arm of man. The most spiritual of them recognize this.

Yep - just because Fidel is dead doesn’t stop the tyranny - cause for many to celebrate but they need to overthrow the regime and become FREE.

Your “should” will go nowhere good if God has not personally stood up behind it.

Poland is a place that has gone into and out of captivity more times than many of us would care to count.

This is the story of a locus of souls who will not open themselves to the Lord on any kind of consistent basis. It is liberals, not conservatives, that paint people’s fates as solely a function of their circumstances.

Are the souls of Cuba such that they will cheerfully receive the spirit of God now? Seeing that even the arm of flesh does not last forever, however prolonged its flourishing may be?

If the answer is yes, then Raul will be tossed aside like a rag doll in short order, and we will see a free Cuba that is privileged by the Lord to remain free as long as it believes, rather than something propped up by a well meaning but nanny USA (which Donald Trump does not appear to want to conduct).

"Bunk. 90%+ of their residents are not brainwashed, just cowed. And who cares what they think. They live on that land because we Americans let them."

If they were merely cowed publicly, their "private" votes would reflect something different. 9% voted for Trump in SF. 9%. That's not cowing, that's an almost unanimous consensus in favor of radical leftism. This would not be terribly different in Cuba were they allowed a "free vote."

"1/3 of the “residents” of San Francisco are foreign born. Most are NOT naturalized and have no intention of swearing allegiance to the United States. At least not until the last white male is dragged kicking and screaming to his death at their hands."

I can't speak to how many are legit or not (if you're implying 1/3rd are illegal Hispanics, that's not so. SF is only about 15% Hispanic, and most illegals couldn't afford to live there. Most Blacks were similarly driven out because of economics. The hope was that Asians with their strong work ethic and pro-family stance might move the city back towards the political mainstream, but that hasn't happened. If anything, it's Whites that radicalized the place since the 1960s. Some of our most radically left-wing areas of the country are heavily White (look at VT, Massachusetts, Seattle, Portland, et al).

"INVASION is not a civil right. The U.S. SHOULD jackhammer the “residents” of SF out of their lovely little redoubt that OUR PEOPLE fought and died for. We can re-title the land to military veterans and certified natural born citizens. It would be American again for at least 3 generations. You think that’s “extreme”?"

Only if you're prepared to employ extralegal methods in order to pursue said agenda, short of declaring war. San Francisco is only one part of the equation. What about the equally radical environs ? Or down in Los Angeles County where 78% voted against Trump. These are millions of hostiles.

"Ask yourself what would happen to 600,000 whites who try to set up shop in Beijing."

That's a small number by Chinese standards.

"Castro spread madness and despair and murder throughout the Americas. He was no Egalitarian reformer; he was a Caudillo who used Marxism as an excuse for his depravity. He should have been stopped in 1962."

Batista should've had him executed in the '50s. But there's little that can be done now to "liberate" Cuba when those that could organize a pro-freedom opposition government are now American citizens for over a half-century, with a values system virtually alien to the true-believing slaves of the gulag. Can't liberate people that don't want to be liberated, be it Cuba or the gulag of the Red Coast of California.

Well, it could’ve been done early on. JFK clearly botched it, but then he never really tried. Nixon likely would’ve followed through, though Ike should’ve had the CIA put this animal down before he had a chance to seize power.

Excellent observations — thank you.

Whether or not we like it, the world is under God, whether as God’s grateful friend or God’s chafing enemy wanting to exalt itself on its own time scale and terms.

It amazes me how people can behold the series of miracles that has propelled Donald Trump to be president-elect and immediately fall back into an “it’s about our own private moral superiority” mindset.

Please. We’ve been down that road before (like it was morally superior to ship slaves here rather than let them “suffer” at home) and we’ve seen the long dull thud that has resonated from it in history.

Regulator should regulate himself first before looking to regulate anybody else.

I’m surmising, that if this branch of history would have been taken, it wouldn’t have been all that long till Cuba looked like San Francisco... free in name only.

And I know it is harsh to say it, but I suspect that a tyranny that LOOKS like a tyranny is easier to recover from, at the right time, than one that carries the cachet of a “free” sponsor. The people who are escaping KNOW what it is they are escaping. They are not numbed by a nominal name.

We have another variable here, one that liberals (even crypto ones like Regulator) miss. The variable is the souls and their will to make the best or worst out of what God may present to them.

Well, I don’t want to tear down Regulator. He loathes, as we loathe, oppression and the evil that leftism has wrought over the past century alone. It’s the question of how to combat it in a practical and feasible way. The comment about ‘why didn’t we liberate the Poles earlier ?’ It’s one thing if a small group is holding a larger group political hostages and they welcome liberation. Marching into Poland after 1945 would’ve meant WW3.

Same with a massive military strike on the enclaves within the U.S. would mean a Civil War. Very few would be supportive of that at present. However, had Clinton won and she continued the alienating, extralegal and unconstitutional policies and agenda, we might’ve seen a legitimate need to move on doing just that against a lawless government.

The only options available at the moment, or at least after January 20th, 2017, will be forcing compliance with areas that refuse to follow the letter of the law (especially with respect to illegal sanctuary cities and protection of criminals). I absolutely believe the new Justice Department should move swiftly on prosecuting elected officials in these locales who are breaking the law (after all, it was the present regime that stated immigration issues was under the FEDERAL aegis - so if they don’t go along with the legal edicts of this incoming administration, they should be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law and any and all federal monies withheld until such time as they carry out their orders under federal law). Along with lawless politicians, corporations and business owners that also disregard the federal law on the usage and exploitation of illegals should be severely penalized, not only with high fines but with long prison terms.

Do what we can at present within legitimate and legal means instead of impractical threats of invasion on our own soil or neighbors.

And Paul Ryan as well. I don’t think Trump is stupid enough to put Romney into any position, I can’t believe he would do that, Romney and Ryan are two punk Democrat operatives who need to be kicked the F out of the party.

Hilarious comments.

Been to SF? Ever?

I live about an hour south.

The Chinese who are there are illegals. Tons of them.

They come over on a simple tourist visa and never leave. Job is waiting for them in SF at Uncle Ting's restaurant. Or hotel. Or cleaning company. Whatever.

You think the Mexicans are voting for Ed Lee?

They are. But he was put over the top by Chinese.

Here's a little picture of the San Francisco Board of Supervisors. Other then the Gay Blades, see anyone who has a relative that went on shore at Omaha Beach?

Google the name "Eric Mar" and let me know if you think the average white lib put him over the top.

As for Los Angeles...if it takes a Division of Regular Army to remove the illegals, so be it. Occupation and takeover of the territory of the United States is an act of war. War that Mexico has been conducting against us since they realized they could take advantage of the idiot Baby Boom generation. Since I grew up on the border, I have the unique advantage of having heard them tell me that - "Ju gonna espeak de Spanish, cuz we gonna overwhelm ju!"

So there's nothing "extralegal" about repelling an invasion.

And as for surrendering California to the gangster freak show, nahh...we ain't gonna do that. They can move to Mexico or China. They aren't gonna stay here on our dime.

PS

I can see why you’re so reticent about all of this.

Being from East of the Mississippi, you simply don’t see it. Or hear it.

You might think “it’s just a few” but it’s not...soon they will be the majority in the West. Even in supposedly white leftopias like Seattle and Portland.

When did we vote for that?

Had breakfast in Central Florida the other day on business. Nice, ordinary Americans. I was stunned. You NEVER see that here anymore. Even the cooks in that restaurant were native born whites. That’s UNHEARD of in California.

The people here are Third World opportunists from countries where you TAKE what you can GRAB. They vote for the vicious trash because the trash promises to steal what the Americans have and give it to them.

Sound familiar?

Rat Party is a gangster racket, a shakedown. THESE PEOPLE ARE THE RECIPIENTS. They are not “victims”, they are victimizers. They are the same people still in Cuba: the thugs who took the land and businesses of the Cuban “bourgeoisie”. Only now they are inside the gates of the United States as well!!
