No, apparently this is not a spoof, the scion of the man who was responsible for the Cuban blockade is full of awe for the Cuban dictatorship. Sure, it’s a dictatorship, but other than that, it’s just ducky, apparently. Writing in the South American news agency MercoPress, Robert F. Kennedy avers, after admitting the dictatorship and lack of a free press:

Despite its poverty, Cuba has managed some impressive accomplishments. Cuba’s government boasts the highest literacy rates for its population of any nation in the hemisphere. Cuba claims its citizens enjoy universal access to health care and more doctors per capita than any other nation in the Americas. Cuba’s doctors, reportedly, have high quality medical training.

I guess the American store shelves aren’t empty enough for RFK, Jr.’s satisfaction.

I guess this dolt doesn’t realize that his father and uncle tried to kill Castro.

And Castro might have had his uncle killed as retaliation for various assassination plots against him.

Well, I guess soon he will be able to go down there for their great reading materials and when he is sick he can take advantage of their excellent care.

Isn’t America great.

And Bobby...when you go, feel free to leave your passport on the table next to the door.

Fidel Castro, with a fortune of over $900, according to Forbes, is one of the richest chief of state in the world while ruling over one of most oppressed and poorest people, a country that before the take over of power by the communists enjoyed one of the highest standard of living in the world. Thousand of people wanted to emigrate to Cuba, while there were not Cuban leaving their country looking for better living in another country even though United States have their doors open for Cuban before Castro. There were more American livi9ng in Cuba than Cuban living in U.S. before then revolution.

The decline of the Democratic party can be traced by following the Kennedy clan over the last hundred years. Joseph Kennedy while crooked, was pro American, anti-communist and capitalist, JFK was similar but the moral decline had begun, RFK and Teddy turned progressive in a big way, followed by the next generation who have completed the journey to progressive-fascism.

Great, so everybody knows how to read, but the government tells you what you can and cannot read.

About the same level of propaganda as North Korea where the idiot leader made 18 holes in one on a single golf game.

Indeed ... Cuba can serve as a prime example of communism’s utter failure to deliver on any of its promises.
