Only a Liberal…

I’m reading the current issue of Golf magazine…

Fifty years ago Fidel Castro took power in Cuba. Two years later, after losing a golf match to Che Guevera, the dictator bulldozed most of the country’s courses.

Liberals are constantly celebrating Fidel Castro. What would have been the reaction if George W. Bush had been losing a chess match to Dick Cheney, and decided he was gonna flip the chess board? The guy bulldozed all the golf courses. For what?

Despite the ruthless dictatorship of Fidel Castro, American politicians and celebrities routinely jump at the chance to celebrate or praise him.

Representative Diane Watson (D):

You can think whatever you want about Fidel Castro but I can tell that he was one of the brightest leaders that I have ever met.

Rep. Laura Richardson (D):

He looked directly into my eyes! Then he asked: how can we help President Obama? Fidel Castro really wants President Obama to succeed!

Rep. Barbara Lee (D):

It was quite a moment to behold! Fidel Castro was very engaging and very energetic.

Rep. Emanuel Cleaver (D):

He’s one of the most amazing human beings I’ve ever met!

Rep. Bobby Rush (D):

Raul Castro was a very engaging, down-to-earth and kind man, someone who I would favor as a neighbor. It was almost like listening to an old friend… In my household I told Castro he is known as the ultimate survivor.

The guy destroyed an entire sport for no apparent reason. He incarcerates people with AIDS as well as homosexuals. Reports of torture, State department listing Cuba on the terrorist list, yet Democrats still find themselves celebrating Fidel Castro. How does this happen?

The answer is simple. Liberals hate America in its current form. They hate it, and anyone who opposes it is a friend to them. The media speaks highly of Hugo Chavez, despite his vicious hatred of the Venezuelan media (ask the radio stations he shut down). Michael Moore celebrates the Cuban health care system in one movie and attacks capitalism in another, despite making MILLIONS off the very movies he made attacking the very system that allows him to make those millions.

The hypocrisy is breathtaking. To a liberal, Bush is a war criminal and Castro is “bright” and “engaging” and “energetic.” Could this be classified as a psychiatric disorder? I’m not a psychiatrist, but these inconsistencies on the left are troubling.

I’m sorry it took a story about golf for me to comment on Fidel Castro, but I found the story illustrative of what happens when you don’t live in the freedom liberals so take for granted.
