What say you?
At some point, and some how, Americans are going to have to take their country back. The level of undermining and campaigning from the anti-American leftist in this country is troubling especially entering into the times that face us now.
Right! It's troublesome the way they idolize the worst in mankind, then do everything they can to silence those who refuse to jump on their Statist bandwagons.
This is one of the reasons I believe more focus needs to be brought to our American heritage, and what it represents (and has changed) for people all across the globe. Genuine freedom!
While I have no doubt that Che was a murderous thug, I doubt very much that he imprisoned AIDS patients, unless he was in possession of a time machine.
Thanks for catching that, I'll have to look the info up again, so I can correct it.
Get your facts from a cow pasture? So much bullshit!!! You are a total disinfo tool!
Everything I posted is accurate. If you feel otherwise, please provide your evidence rather than meaningless vitriol.
There is one disturbing "fact" you have here apart for several others. Batista was in fact a very brutal dictator backed by the U.S. I was a history major in college and every professor taught this in their studies, one of which studies Cuban History. I would find your "facts" the least bit credible if you sited your information. I am fully aware he wasn't what most people believe him to be, Cuba however wasn't in a good state for the people of the country when Batista was the ruler!

Amy,
I appreciate your input. I didn't get into all that, because this post was about Che Guevara. Those are certainly worthy discussions, but they're for another post, another time.
I find this article disturbing considering countries with a democratic system and capatilistic system commit many more atrocities. Do no confuse a totalitarian state with a communist state. Your facts could be used as pure propaganda in High schools considering they are only telling half of the story. And for the deaths in communist ran nations, democratic nations have killed 10 times that as it said in a Chomsky book. Maybe 1 million by the U.S backed Pol Pot, and more from Augosto Pinochet, and of course who would forget all the proxy wars of the cold war. This only accounts for the few of the many U.S caused deaths, without even calling attention to other democratic nations. Maybe your next post should be U.S imperialism, good day
A very naive, unstudied response.
The words you use and the historic examples you cite are classic right wing shock tactics used to win over stupid people.
When you use lies to support an argument it calls into question every "fact" you put forth. I've been to Cuba several times and every story I've been told, every book I've read and every course I've taken is in abject disagreement with this piece of poorly written and badly researched piece of propaganda. Keep it up, you might get hired by Fox News.
[...] Guevera, you may recall, was responsible for a lot of political deaths. But the “iconic” image persists in popular [...]
Found this page while trying to research Guevara's concentration camps, but I find it incredible that he imprisoned AIDS victims. Did HIV originate in 1960's Cuba, before it appeared in the rest of the world in the '80s?
Dodgy facts discredit perfectly legitimate facts, thus ruining any hopes of a solid, valid argument.
I find it amazing how difficult it is to find information about the 1962 terror bomb plot in New York City.
Below is a link to an article I found on NPR by someone summarizing Castro and cuba, with no mention at all of this bomb plot. Seems like a huge piece missing! Can you imagine Osama being a hero 30 years from now in the US?
