Democrats on Benghazi and Cuba—“Same as it Ever Was”

“I said we’d refocus on the people who actually attacked us on 9/11—and today, al-Qaeda is on the run and Osama bin Laden is dead.” (U.S. President Barack Obama, October 11, 2012.) “Let’s be clear, these protests (in Benghazi) were in reaction to a video that had spread around the region. We have no information to suggest that it was a preplanned attack.” (White House Press Secretary Jay Carney, September 14, 2012)

The Cuban Missile Crisis—Kennedy’s Second Backstab

That Khrushchev swept the floor with Kennedy during the Cuban Missile Crisis was a mainstream American view throughout much of the Cold War. Nixon and Goldwater, for instance, represented opposite poles of the Republican establishment of their time.

Che Guevara—Hollywood Keeps Lying

“Steven Soderbergh made certain his movie, “Che," about the life of revolutionary Ernesto “Che" Guevara, couldn't be attacked -- at least on a factual level!” stressed CNN Entertainment, upon the movie’s release in 2009.

“Don’t Shoot!—I’m Che!” (a Glorious Anniversary)

Forty five years ago this week, Ernesto "Che" Guevara got a major dose of his own medicine. Without trial he was declared a murderer, stood against a wall and shot. If the saying "What goes around comes around" ever fit, it's here.

U.S. Government Celebrates Terrorist Who Craved to Nuke the U.S.

Last week the Environmental Protection Agency kicked-off its celebration of "Hispanic Heritage Month" with an e-mail message featuring Che Guevara along with his famous slogan, "Hasta la Victoria Siempre." Let's hope these U.S. civil servants were innocently unaware of some of Che Guevara's other slogans:

Che Guevara in Chicago

You just knew Che Guevara would show up as an icon of the union demonstrators in Chicago. Why? Well, let’s consider the factors in this demonstration by union-educators who were mostly educated by other union-educators:

Diana Nyad “Comes Out” on Cuba

Apparently the most tragic event in the Florida straits over the past fifty years involves recreational swimmer Diana Nyad getting stung by a jellyfish.

Paul Ryan’s Che-Loving Critics

Paul Ryan claims fondness for the music of Rage Against the Machine, a hard-left, union-backing and "peace-marching," grunge group. Ryan specified that the music -- rather than lyrics -- forms the attraction. For this, the band's outraged lead guitarist (Harvard-graduate) Tom Morello recently took to the pages of Rolling Stone magazine to denounce Ryan as "clueless."

This Week’s Birthday Boy—“Cuba’s Elvis!” Fidel Castro

"Fidel Castro could have been Cuba's Elvis!" (Dan Rather.) "Fidel Castro is one hell of a guy! "You people would like him!" (Ted Turner to a capacity crowd at Harvard Law School during a speech in 1997.)

Chick-fil-A, Mayor Vincent Gray, and “Hate Speech”

For expressing the opinion of the majority of voters in the 31 states where gay marriage was put to vote Chick-fil-A’s President Dan Cathy is accused of “hate speech” by D.C. Mayor Vincent Gray. Such is the mayor’s revulsion that he threatens to mimic Lester Maddox circa 1962 and stand at his city gates wielding an ax handle to bar restaurant Chik-fil-A’s entry into his municipal domain.

Che Guevara Idolator “Feels Pain” of Pinochet’s Victims

In the Robert Redford production The Motorcycle Diaries Mexican-born actor Gael Garcia Bernal reveled in the role of Ernesto Guevara “I cannot remember when I didn't know about Che," he sighed during an interview in 2004. "Che has so much to do with your ideals as a young man. His mythification, Che the icon, is not three-dimensional. To have the T-shirt doesn’t mean much. With the film, we wanted to bring that character closer to ourselves."

M.A.S.H. Star Partners with Castro’s Spy Agency

Though a consistently good show, few conservatives mistook M.A.S.H for anything but pinko propaganda. Last week long-time M.A.S.H star Mike Farrell (Capt. B.J. Hunnicut) took the last few baby-steps and started spouting outright Communist propaganda.

Christiane Amanpour’s Lovefest with Castro’s Daughter

Given the media’s hyper-sensitivity to the most microscopic hint of white on black racism here’s a question:

“I would vote for Obama!”—Squeals Castro’s daughter

“If I were a U.S. citizen I'd vote for Obama for president," boasted Mariela Castro during her San Francisco conference this week. "I think he is sincere, I think he speaks from the heart." To cheers and applause from the San Franciscan crowd Raul Castro’s daughter also proclaimed that, “what we want is the power of emancipation through socialism."

Obama State Dept. Grants Visa to Castro’s Daughter

A top apparatchik of the only regime in the Western Hemisphere to herd thousands of men and boys into forced labor camps at Soviet-bayonet point for the crime of fluttering their eyelashes, flapping their hands and talking with a lisp was just granted a U.S. visa to lecture Americans on "Gay Rights."

Che Guevara Adorned Reno-Tahoe Airport

A painting of Che Guevara subtitled “Revolucion!” by a Mexican–American artist was on display for over three months at the International Airport in Reno, Nevada, USA. On May 9th it was taken down by airport officials as originally scheduled. Complaints by outraged airport patrons had nothing to do with this removal.

Earth Day—Brought to you by Hunters & Fishermen

“In 1970, a Senator from Wisconsin named Gaylord Nelson raised his voice and called on every American to take action on behalf of the environment,” read President Obama’s Earth Day proclamation two years ago. “In the four decades since, millions of Americans have heeded that call and joined together to protect the planet we share.”

“Fidel Castro is a Bad*ass!” Squeal a smitten Bill Maher

As his audience clapped and squealed like seals last week a smirking Bill Maher gushed that: "Castro is a Bad*ss because we (the U.S.) have been trying to kill him for 60 years!" His trained seals howled and clapped --not at the (alleged) assassination attempts, obviously-- but at their failure against the mass-murderer who had craved to nuke them.

Strike Two for Marlin Manager Ozzie Guillen

Last week Miami Marlin’s manager Ozzie Guillen told Time magazine that he “loves and respects” Fidel Castro. This week, reacting to outrage by Americans of Cuban heritage (i.e. a huge chunk of Marlin ticket-buyers,) the Marlin’s suspended Guillen for five games. Apparently eager to head-off worse retribution (and damage–control ticket sales) on April 9th a moping Guillen issued a groveling apology at a Miami press Conference. “I am here on my knees,” he whimpered. “I am here to say I am sorry with my heart in my hands…I hurt a lot of people’s feelings. Now I want to apologize because I did the wrong thing. It was a very stupid comment…If I don’t learn from this mistake, then I will call myself dumb.”
