That's one rich commie!!!

[Louis VI the Fat]

Tribesman, the whole routine about him get's on my nerves.

The right, specifically, right-wing America, is utterly obsessed with him. Making him appear bigger, more relevant than he really is.

The left in turn dig the way he get's on America's nerves. They admire his defiancy, to the point were they become his apologists.

Both forget that Castro is nothing more than an irrelevant, petty dictator. Not the worst by any means, but still a dictator.

Those that feel strongly against him, nearly always try and use made up rubbish to attempt to make their point indeed. But those opposing this rubbish then blissfully ignore the fact that Cuba is in the end a country where dissidents get beaten, locked up and killed.

There is something intellectualy dishonest about the whole Cuba debate. Both sides are putting arguments forward that don't comply to their own standards.
