BIlly Long: I won't take time to mourn Fidel Castro
Seventh District Congressman Billy Long issued the following statement on the death of Cuban leader Fidel Castro:
Oh wow, free health care and education! I guess that nullifies all the human rights violations. The executions, the imprisoning of tens of thousands for the horrid crime of dissenting against the government, the informants on every block. I love what you liberal buffoons will tolerate as long as there is free healthcare and education.
What Blubba does not comprehend or care about is that Congress has OK'd the overthrow of governments by people like Castro. More than one can count our Congress, President and Defense(Intelligence) department have been behind some of the most brutal take overs of many governments that were functioning. Maybe not functioning like we would like, but in vast majority of the cases the new regime was as bad or worse than the one ousted. Study some history Billy Bob and learn something before you speak or at least before your speech writers speak. Why does Randy post these idiotic ramblings of such a poor representative of the people. Oh wait, they reelected him in their infinite wisdom or is it ignorance.
In 1958, the CIA delivered 12 million dollars and four arms shipments to the Castro brothers while they were in the mountains. Batista had become too bloody even for us. Oh yeah and he was skimming way too much off the casinos.
Of course Billy will not mourn. After all Castro gave his people free health care and free education and Billy is opposed to both.
