You know, in 1959, Cuba had a higher living-standard than seven southern U.S. states.

Cuba was ranked as the most prosperous nation in North American Hispanic America.

Where are they now?

You guessed it, right on the bottom.

There's a reason why patriotism is considered a conservative value. Watch a Tea Party rally and you'll see people proudly raising the American flag and showing pride in U.S. heroes such as Thomas Jefferson. Watch an OWS rally and you'll see people burning the American flag while showing pride in communist heroes such as Che Guevera. --Bob, from some news site

Good find, RebelKev.

I'm always gratified to get confirmation from other sources about "free medical care" in socialist paradises of workers and peasants.

I've always been hesitant to describe "free medical care" in the old Soviet Union, because it was so incredible one had to see it before one could possibly imagine it.  And so I've always blurred things when describing what I saw, to make it credible.

The most enduring image is of human shit all over the place; on the floors, in the beds.

Just shit all over the place.

I'm gratified that someone else can confirm things I saw with my own eyes.

Didn't the revered one Che get his ass busted up in Africa?  I doubt that he was on a photo safari when it happened.

The photographs don't do justice to free medical care for all in socialist paradises.

One has to be there, to see them up close, to smell them, to really know.

I doubt they do. There is no excuse for what is seen there. Red Cross and other medical aid to places like Africa manage in primitive conditions to keep things neat and clean. What is there is nothing more then blatent disregard and neglect. I am just...again...disgusted. Old men and women laying in shit covered beds. And this is the free healthcare liberals envision? ugh

I found therealcuba.com a while back when a liberal on another board I belong to tried to tell me how wonderful Cuba is and how she wishes that the "mean old U.S." would stop punishing Cubans and American tourists alike by lifting the embargo.

Apparently, the fact that my step-grandfather was Cuban wasn't enough. So, I posted those photos from the site and she still denied it. Liberalism is fatal.

No, my friends, there’s only one really progressive idea. And that is the idea of legally limiting the power of the government. That one genuinely liberal, genuinely progressive idea — the Why in 1776, the How in 1787 — is what needs to be conserved. We need to conserve that fundamentally liberal idea. That is why we are conservatives. --Bill Whittle

“The American people will never knowingly adopt socialism. But, under the name of ‘liberalism’, they will adopt every fragment of the socialist program, until one day America will be a socialist nation, without knowing how it happened.” - Norman Thomas, U.S. Socialist Party presidential candidate 1940, 1944 and 1948

"America is like a healthy body and its resistance is threefold: its patriotism, its morality, and its spiritual life. If we can undermine these three areas, America will collapse from within."  Stalin
