I know it’s hard for leftists to see the appeal of conservative thoughts among other populations. Therefore, it must be a doozy to see Cubans tearing Che Guevara apart as one who in his own words, “really loved to kill” and who despised religious people, and anyone who would dare disagree with his ideologies.
When the Cuban doors are opened fully, and they will be, make no mistake about it, what will unleash will be thousands of stories of a regime that did not support the Veggie Tales’ version of Che Guevara and Fidel Castro constantly satiating American television. The man who finds himself in the t-shirts of thousands of Americans as an icon for the weak and downtrodden was quite literally a murderer of the weak and downtrodden.
The recent protests, which will likely increase, and the creative ways in which Cubans are finding to bypass security strategies by the government to hinder communication to outside by ordinary Cubans will fail. Cubans will eventually bring not only their coffee and cigars grown in their fertile land freely over here, but they will also enter into the dynamic and flourishing Cuban population here in the U.S. This country was largely dumbstruck when they discovered on the day of the election just how quickly the Cuban population rose to vote for the Republican candidate. Leftists made quick assumptions that Latinos favor the party of gifts; that Los gringos could easily persuade the Cuban population to see the Democratic Party as a party that gets the Latin experience. So, they give you Senora Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y. and they try to use the “charismatic” Bernie Sanders as attractive propositions. But Cubans, especially those who have moved into this country in the last decade, want none of these superlative clowns.
The socialist rhetoric of Castro and Chavez brings nothing more than terror to the minds of Cubans. Of course, the population in Florida and other places are not a monolith, but enough of one to dissect the trickery coming from the left, and to see that for far too many of the Cubans holding mass rallies in Havana, freedom from tyrannical practices and a high morality among Cubans are still a thing to consider. Therefore, the left is panicking over the saturation of the news cycle from a population that has known idiocy personally for too long and is befuddled by American sentimentalism towards their monsters.
So, I am having a Cafe Cubano in celebration of the many Cuban friends I had in college and seminary and who fill the streets of Havana this morning.
