Pardon! Embelishment is a kinder word, I was guessing it was the persona he was that day/week plus getting a thread more interesting if it starts to die off.
Personally I need to keep off these political threads, in the west with my fellow conservatives my blood pressure is way down compared to here.
Sol,
Hungry, myself (and i assume others who wanted the wicked witch from the west to lose) have great blood pressure when reading the libbys crying because they L O S T so whenever they post anything negative towards Trump, it truly reminds us what this monumental loss did to their psyche and all we can do is :lol:
Good stuff for thw soul my friend, good stuff indeed!
at libbys (4 long years boyzzzzzzzzz 4 LONG years!)

Cubans say goodbye to Fidel Castro's ashes in four-day funeral procession
Caravan carrying leader’s remains will retrace his victory tour after Cuban Revolution in reverse, from Havana to Santiago, in final leg of mourning period
Fidel Castro’s ashes have begun a four-day journey across Cuba from Havana to their final resting place in the eastern city of Santiago.
A small, Cuban-flag-covered cedar coffin containing the remains of the 90-year-old leader was taken out of Cuba’s defense ministry just after 7am and placed into a flower-bedecked trailer pulled by a green military jeep for the more than 500-mile (800km) procession. The ashes will be interred on Sunday, ending the nine-day mourning period for the man who ruled the country for nearly 50 years.
The route traces in reverse the victory tour Castro and his bearded rebels took after overthrowing the forces of strongman Fulgencio Batista in 1959.

Then you must have stayed in a dump, the food there is no better or worse than any other place in the Caribbean.
That's like saying that all fat people are lazy, they are the most vilafied type of people , I hear it all of the time from everybody that "fat people are lazy ass slobs and that is why they are fat", I have a friend who says that all of the time whenever he sees a a fat person, if a day goes by with him not insulting a fat person it is because he did not see a fat person that day, he is very annoying and way out of line but that is his mentality and the way he thinks towards fat people and he is not alone, just saying.
Any good reason is a good reason to go. I'm sure you'll be treated extremely well and President Raoul Castro will be happy to have you as a guest.
My friend from Cuba was telling me this afternoon that he has $600 Million in Swiss Banks. Jalimon is right on with his assessment. Just like Animal Farm. Some animals are more equal than others.
Well, he's been in power for a long time and did a very good job. So what can i say? He's earned every penny? Being president of a country is a hard job!
Castro was responsible for 1/5 of his country's population becoming exiled.
Castro was responsible for thousands of killings of political opponents. Thousands more tortured and jailed.
Castro was responsible for creating miserable economic conditions, systemic poverty and shortages of basic goods including medicine.
Castro was responsible for stifling free speech, thought, assembly and movement.
May he rot in hell.
If you think that is not worse than Nixon or Bush Jr then you are completely delusional.
But the North American Do-gooder is a self-loathing delusional animal. He (or she) hates thine self. This is white guilt. It is very fashionable and trendy on campuses and in Washington DC. You may even get invited to a garden party.
A true leftist would sell off all that he owns because, after all, these worldly goods were obtained off the backs of the colored races. Sell all Doc and donate the proceeds to charity. Free yourself from what haunts you. Live off welfare and handouts.
The great Fidel Castro's funeral will be held tomorrow. I wish i could have attended the funeral of this great leader, but i couldn't get time off to attend. Leaders from around the world will be flocking to Cuba for the mass. Sure, El Presidente had his detractors and with good reason. However, he was also beloved by many. He will be missed. A friend of Canada is a friend of mine!
Long live the great Fidel Castro!!! Long live El Presidente! Long live Cuba!!!

The worst thing that could ever happen to Cuba is for the Americans to get more involved in that country. Americans have a knack of fucking up every country they insert themselves in. Last year when we heard that the US would resume diplomatic ties with Cuba, my fellow Canadians all said: "Oh-oh. The Americans are gonna fuck it up again!"
The Castro brothers were very successful in their attempts to keep the Americans out. The Americans were pissed when he deposed their very own dictator (Batista) in the late 50's. Batista did as many atrocities as any other dictator, yet the Americans loved him because he was a 'friend' of theirs. But after trying to assassinate Castro several times, he finally turned to the Soviets for support and protection. The Americans have only themselves to blame for their failure to maintain relations with Cuba. Had they welcomed El Presidente with open arms earlier on instead of trying to kill him over and over, many Cubans wouldn't have had to suffer as much. The Americans have no one else but themselves to blame for what Fidel Castro became.
Long live El Presidente! Long live Cuba!

What is the age distribution in Cuba?
He has been in power so long most of the population have known nothing but Castro's Cuba.
Young people will not remember the mass executions or internment (concentration) camps. Young people will not have any first hand knowledge of pre revolutionary Cuba. And they will not have visited any foreign countries.
They will mourn him because they do not understand what he took from them.

Every strong leader has tough decisions to make. But El Presidente had the gonads to make them, popular or not. And that's why he's a legendary historical figure.
Lenin was a great guy!!! A great man, a legendary figure historically!!
Hitler & Stalin, not so nice!! Hitler was responsible for the killing of millions of innocents!! Millions!!!
Stalin wasn't much better. He was a psychopath!! But let's be fair about one thing: Were it not for Stalin, we might not have been able to defeat Hitler. He was a great ally of ours during WWII and as difficult as it is to say: were it not for him, we may be all speaking German today.
