Some Love For The Beard
HALF A CENTURY LATER, FIDEL CASTRO LEAVES ON HIS OWN TERMS
FITSNews - February 19, 2008 - We obviously don’t mince words when it comes to fighting communists here in South Carolina (especially midget communists), but we’ve got to give a shout out today to Fidel Castro, who announced that he’s finally resigning as Cuba’s “Lider Maximo” after forty-seven years.
Seriously, the fact that this guy made it past 1960 is amazing. We’ve tried to blow him up, poison him, drown him, shoot him, give him communicable diseases, you name it. Of course, he’s a perfect example of what happens when you give the bumbling, stumbling, fumbling U.S. Government a half century and God knows how many billions of dollars to accomplish one simple task.
Anyway, while the most sophisticated military-industrial complex in the history of mankind turned “whacking the beard” into a cottage industry, Castro sat there a stone’s throw from Miami chewing on his cigar and shooting us the bird. And while we’re sure he’s probably an awful pagan atheist and what not, there’s something about his defiant resilience we’ve got to respect at least a little bit.

He would have to be a pretty awful pagan to be an atheist since pagans believe in some sort of higher power.

The American people want to know just one thing: Can we have some Cuban cigars already?

Of course we could have taken him out with a cruise missile any day before breakfast in the last 18/19 years since the his sponsor the USSR failed. The fact that we didn’t bother should tell us quite a bit.
