 Even Fidel Castro, the 83-year-old tyrannical communist dictator is using all the popular buzz words and phrases of the day -- racist and extreme right -- to describe the rising opposition Americans are exhibiting toward Obama and his administration’s socialistic restructuring of a once-free country.
Castro said last week, via a state-run media outlet, that of course (!) Obama does not want to change the U.S. political and economic system, nonetheless, “in spite of that, the extreme right hates him for being African-American and fights what the president does to improve the deteriorated image of that country,” Castro said. Adding, “I don’t have the slightest doubt that the racist right will do everything possible to wear him down, blocking his program, to get him out of the game one way or another, at the least political cost.” Seems the dictator is speaking mainly about the healthcare bill here.
There you have it, straight from the Havanna communist’s mouth. With a back-handed endorsement from the likes of the 49-year dictator, surely any Americans who might have been wavering on categorizing Obama’s agenda are now dead certain of it. It just doesn’t get any clearer than this.
The slightly amusing part is that the week before last, Castro held up his country’s “free” health care program as a shining example of how perfectly wonderful a country's health system can be. However, over at American Thinker, Humberto Fontova cuts through the propaganda with real enough facts, all documented and easily digested.
Fidel is forgetting his own country’s strict segregation policies, though, even as he gives lip service to condemning American racism. At one time Fulgencio Batista, the previous leader of Cuba before the revolution, was actually barred from entering Cuba due to a small trace of African ancestry. Even today Cuba admits to only 19 percent African or mixed race being in leadership roles. From all reports, Cuba continues its institutionalized racism.
Castro’s written diatribe came during New Mexico Governor Bill Richardson’s Cuban trade-relations visit. Richardson, labeled by some as a trouble-shooter, others a diplomat, is openly said to be negotiating some agricultural deals for New Mexico -- always exempt under the embargo -- with Cuba. But, he is also suspected of laying the groundwork for the possible lifting of the U.S. trade embargo against the small island nation of communist fame.
With friends like Comrade Castro, who needs a propaganda minister?
