Fidel Castro's day of judgment has come

[KSRBEvans]

Dead at 90.

It's interesting (and sickening) to read how some are actually eulogizing him today. Helpful to sort out the useful idiots, but we pretty much already knew who they were, anyway. This WaPo op-ed on Castro's atrocities is well worth reading, but I thought this section presents a good summary on the dichotomy in reaction:

One of the most brutal dictators in modern history has just died. Oddly enough, some will mourn his passing, and many an obituary will praise him. Millions of Cubans who have been waiting impatiently for this moment for more than half a century will simply ponder his crimes and recall the pain and suffering he caused.

Why this discrepancy? Because deceit was one of Fidel Castro’s greatest talents, and gullibility is one of the world’s greatest frailties.

Our President and his dimmer cousin to the north both eulogized a brutal oppressive dictator today. People drowned trying to get away. Jimmy "the hapless" Carter, who welcomed all Castro's criminals said, "We remember fondly our visits with him in Cuba and his love of his country."

Bill Ayers, Angela Davis, Fidel Castro, Che Guevera, the heroes of Hillary, Sanders, and Warren.

A brutal dictator who rose to power by replacing a slightly less brutal dictator.

He no doubt did some good things but so does every such dictator.

He drove a nation into abject poverty and squashed human rights at every turn. I guess for a dictator that is not too bad

Twitter's having fun with Canadian PM's valentine to Fidel. Check out #TrudeauEulogies on twitter:

I am sure judgement day finds Castro feeling nice and toasty.

May this Communist POS suffer the fires of eternal damnation that he so richly deserves.
