History Repeating Itself ???

[delta22]

Here's something to think about.

I remember asking dad about Castro when I was about 9 years old. I asked, "Is Castro a good guy or bad?" Dad said he couldn't tell! This was about 1955. We were living in Louisiana at the time. Dad was in the army there. Cuba was fairly close and in the news a lot. The Cubans were asking the same question! Ike was president.

This past July, we had the pleasure of sharing a summer barbecue with a refugee from Cuba . Our dinner conversation was starkly different than most.

This refugee came to the United States as a young boy in the early 1960s. His family was more fortunate than most as they were able to bring a suitcase and $100 when they fled Castro's newly formed revolutionary paradise. Our dinner consisted of all-American fare: hamburgers, potato salad, watermelon and fresh ears of sweet corn. This is a menu shared with family and friends nationwide, while celebrating the birth of our beloved America on the Fourth of July. We began with a simple discussion about our country and the direction it has taken since Barack Obama came to power. We shared the usual complaints about the sour economy and liberal social engineering emanating from the rulers in Washington . But then he said it. The sentence came naturally. I assume it was unplanned. But it carried the weight of a freight train.

"You know when Castro took power, none of us knew he was a Communist." We sat stunned.

He continued, "Yes, we all thought he was a patriot, a nationalist. Before the revolution he didn't sound like a radical." The comparison at this point was easy, and I interjected, "You mean just like Barack Obama?"

He responded; "Yes, just like Barack Obama." He continued, "We were all shocked as the government just continued to grab more power. First they said the revolution is over, so please turn in your guns. We all complied." "I remember my uncle saying after it started; 'Castro will only nationalize some of the big industries, he will never come and take our family hardware store.' But that is exactly what happened; Castro started with the sugar mills and the large industries, but they eventually came and knocked on the door of our family hardware store. My family had run this store for generations. They said we now own the hardware store, you work for us. And that nice, large four-bedroom home you own, it is now our property also, and you can move yourself and five children into two rooms of the house because others are moving in with you." The lesson learned from this discussion is a lesson most Americans refuse to hear. Political leaders can lie about their agenda and once in office they can take totally unexpected turns. If you had asked us three years ago if we thought General Motors would be nationalized, we would have never believed it. We could never contemplate a country where the rule of law, the most fundamental building block of a just society would be evaporating just like it did in Castro's Cuba in the early 1960s. But the news of injustice keeps increasing. Black Panthers are not charged with wrongdoing by the U.S. Department of Justice because their crimes are against whites. The bondholders of GM are stripped of their assets without due process by the government. Governmental leaders are bribed in full daylight only to have all investigation of the crimes stifled by the Attorney General. The U.S. borders are overrun with crime and illegal activity and the leaders in D.C. act as if it is important to protect the lawbreakers while the innocent are killed and overrun. When local communities attempt to enforce the law, they are ridiculed and threatened as racists and bigots. They are sued by the very administration entrusted with enforcing the law.. Without the rule of law the U.S. Constitution is a sham. Without the rule of law our beloved America is swiftly becoming a country where only the well connected and politically powerful will be safe. As Michelle Malkin has so eloquently explained in her recent book, “ a culture of corruption ” has replaced honest government. The only way this problem will be fixed is by massive citizen action. All honest citizens that want to be treated equally must come together and demand that the favoritism, the bribes, the uneven enforcement of law end now. And yes, it can happen here. PLEASE SEND THIS TO EVERYONE YOU KNOW ... And may God bless the United States of America !

DELTA:

You obviously troubled with fear. You have been programmed to fear by your own government and politicians because they use the fear they instill in you to control you. To the New World Order, it's all about control, but not that you are going to control them, they will control you by using psych ops to do it.

Your obvious fear of COMMUNISM is deep rooted. Your government and the controlled media built an image in your mind and that of the millions of inhabitants of this country, that you never realized you had, and you have not figured out how to dispel from your psyche. Now there is a new reason they have given you to fear...Now it's called TERRORISM. The New World Order has put the old enemy to bed and introduced a "new and improved" national enemy for you for to focus your fear and hatred on.

The facts are that if you know the truth about history you will come to realize that the COMMUNISTS never did anything thing to us, and the same is true of the new threat...the TERRORISTS. Any events that your government and politicians have used to continue to instill fear in you have all been "false flag attacks" created by your own government to instill fear in you and the other people in this country to control the masses.

Fidel castro was a revolutionary who took out the ELITE that ran and completely controlled the economy in Cuba. They were the owners of 95% of all the land in Cuba, leaving nothing for the peasant class. The revolution was a success for the masses in Cuba and a failure for the New World Order. It was a struggle between the 1% and the 99%.

Your fears are completely unfounded and show the degree of your brainwashing, but don't feel like your all alone out there, their are plenty of people who share your distorted view of history. You have plenty of company...but, I'm not one of them.

We now have new enemies to fear and learn how to hate. people who have done nothing to us, but are being villanized to further an agenda that you still don't understand. An Imperialist agenda that need the people united in fear and hate against an enemy that your government wants to conquer. Classic example is Iraq. The claim was that Iraq was a member of the "axis of evil" and was a bad man who had WMD, and was responsible for the attacks on the Twin Towers in New York. None of it was true and no WMD was ever found. Start using your head Delta!

Gosh Carlos, I just don't know what we'd do without you telling us how it is everyday... now I know the communists were never bad my government has just programmed me to believe it, along with MSM of course... thank you for my daily dose of enlightenment.... (we really need a sarcasm emoticon)

Carlos,

I believe you have missed the point.... yes, they are doing false flags, and trying to instill fear to control people. But that isn't the real problem or issue. It is the, walking all over the constitution and ignoring the due process of law. Obama does what ever he likes whenever he likes bypassing congress. He is doing things the law does not permit but nobody is stopping him. He does not have the legitimate power to change immigration, to invade countries, to take over companies, to appoint czars and not report to anyone. He has done so many, not a few but many, things that anyone else would have been impeached long time ago but everyone is so afraid. So afraid of racial riots, being called names or afraid of coming up missing or having sudden unexplained heart attacks like others who have info or are going to "speak up".

It is about the fact he "advertised" he was a Christian and then cancelled observing Christian events at the White house and starting publicly honoring and praising Islam with his closest friends and appointees being muslim brotherhood. Disguising it all under the cloak of "tolerance" and "being politically correct" or covering it with accusing of being "racist", which is the biggest lie of them all.

He breaks the law and no charges are filled, it is as though everyone is under some spell.

The "warning" of this Cuban is so warranted but just like you have done the issue is redirected and dismissed.

We have a radical enemy in the White House who really believes your businesses aren't your own but belong to the government or "his people" and nobody is doing anything about it. Who is stacking the deck so the "American People" won't be able to do anything about it because slowly he has changed the laws and taking our power and made it his own. Wake up people. Right now he has had the laws changed so he can imprison American citizens without due process of law indefinitely. He said he would not use it but specifically ask for the power. Why would he go so far as to specifically ask for it and insist upon it and not have intentions of using it? You right now could be arrested with no warrant, no probable cause with no explaination, taken to an unknown place for the rest of your life and you could not do anything about it. No rights to a speedy trial, no right to defense, no nothing because Obama made it so. All he has to do is decide he wants you out of his way or one of his czars or agencies want you removed and your out of here and it doesn't matter who you are, or if you have family or are completely innocent. ALL OF YOUR RIGHTS are gone by the flick of his pen. NOW that is the issue. WHAT NEXT?

Carlos, By the display of your own words, you are the one that is brainwashed. Just because you can't accept the facts that delta posted does not mean they arn't real and true. With people like you that have the ability to vote. It is no wonder this country is slipping into a socialist country. By the way socialism does not represent anthing that added to this countrys greatness. Carlos do you comprehend anything that this post contains?

Sorry there are some of us here that do not see through rose colored glassses or drink koolaid. We see a real threat to this country that the present imposter n cheif represents to everything this country stands for.

With all due respect.

Before the glorious revolution, Cuba had a higher standard of living than Spain. Now, they drag 1955 Chevys behind mules. Sure, there was some income inequality. What free economy doesn't have some of that? The solution is not to confiscate all private property and distribute misery to all. If Cuba was such a great place, why do those very same peasants, the ones who supposedly benefited so greatly from Castro's revolution, risk their families' lives in makeshift rafts over 90 miles of shark-infested waters, made out of the same 1955 Chevys, to get here? Why have they been doing that for 50 years? Hell, if they're a free people, why won't Castro just let them leave?

Cuba is a communist hellhole, Carlos. The fact that they're not aligned with the global elite doesn't make them better. It just makes them different. And not in a good way.

wpsmit, thank God mine were restored too! I have a good feeling here at dinarvets because the percentages for the USA are so much higher than the percentages for the dark side...or obama or liberals or progressive or evil side...all interchangeable!

God Bless the USA and we will take this nation back away from the enemies of our freedoms this election.

I remember when I voted for Reagan and we were waiting for the election results. They were presenting news that was pretty negative for our side but then, but then, but then! It was a landslide for President Reagan! We were told lies and the media was as shocked as everyone else because they actually believe their own lies.. And guess what America? It is about to happen again! Another no contest because all these lies are waking up the sleeping giant of America who will not continue to let our country be taken over and ruined by these liberals/progressives!

I am gp49 and I approve this message

P.S. And go RV

I must defend my friend Umbertino. He very seldom posts opinions, mostly just articles from an obviously liberal point of view.
