Hot Air affiliate Charles Ryder suffered through a pro-Castro, pro-Chavez, pro-Che protest in Washington, D.C. yesterday. Watch the video. See the sights.
Then for a quick transport back to reality, read the letter to Fidel published over at Babalu Blog.

WOW!
Kudos to Charles for getting through the whole thing.
I barely got through the video.

There is an excellent exhibition at the American History Museum of the Smithsonian: Azucar: The Life and Music of Celia Cruz, which will be shown until May 29. She was extremely anti-Castro and devoutly Catholic (two deadly sins for liberals). In the biographical video of her life, she states how Castro refused to let her fly back to Cuba simply to bury her mother whom she had not seen since fleeing the dictator. After that, she refused to ever perform there again.
I would recommend the exhibit to all the uneducated liberals demonstrating in their selfish (”look at me, I’m cool!) pro-Che, pro-Castro demonstration on the Mall.

I never cease to be amazed at the human capacity for self-delusion.

I used to work with a Cuban who had fled Castro’s regime in fear of being killed. He LOVED the picture Life magazine ran of Che Guevara lying dead on a slab. He put it on his wall and laughed every day. Guevara, like Castro, was nothing more than a thug and opportunist. Only thing is, Castro stayed alive long enough to bleed Cuba dry money-wise.
The thing these idiots protesting don’t understand is I have NO interest in Cuba (other than cigars) and absolutely NONE in Venezuela. They should all pack up and take the next ship south. Here, I’ll start a fund for their transportation….

I have an interest in Cuba and Venezuela because of the mischief the leaders of both are prepared to do to us. Those same leaders have destroyed or will destroy the lives of millions who are unfortunate enough to live in those countries.
I am amazed at how the face of Evil is the same throughout all time and in every place. The struggle to repel Evil is always the same also and usually involves the sacrifice of good lives.

All those loons, and we couldn’t find anyone with the key to the rubber room to help protect them from themselvs.
Obviously people who weep when they think of the fall of Eastern Europe, the Soviet Union, and how Ronald Reagan won it all for us.

Makes you wonder how many operatives from Venezuela and Cuba had a part in such a gathering that seems tailor made for their interests. Moonbats seem to abound in this country but to give them this kind of content to babble about makes you wonder how active Hugo Chavez is in influencing American Politics.
Subversion and sedition are alive in well in the United States – when will action be taken to at least curb the most extreme occurances?

It never ceases to amaze me how inhumane leftists are to people living in oppressive regimes. They sit in the comfort of a western nation satrry eyed at how wonderful it is in Cuba, for instance, while the Cubans are living like caged animals.
Leftists sit in their local Starbucks and wax poetic about how caring Fidel is, while he tortures and imprisons his way across the island on a daily basis.
Being a leftist means never having to care about others.

I’ve never understood why they seem so angry and yet so supportive of those who would oppress them?! Are these the same folks that would justify what happened on 9/11, that it’s our fault?
Some of the most poorest nations driven to poverty by a failed government policies, communism. Probably because they never seen how these poorest of nations really live at the local level.
They really hate Bush, and I’m really glad they are not in power. Thank god there’s more of us than of them.

It’s funny how people who have spent so no time living in a communist country (and who don’t have relatives who have), glorify it so much, even over a country (the US) that allows them to wax nostalgic on the equities of socialism. The smallest expression of support of the west would get these people years in the gulag in such ‘progressive’ communist countries. It seems odd that liberals, who screech “free speech” like its a mating call, ignore the lack of it in these wonderful worker’s utopias.
