Now That Castro Is Out Of The Way

Fidel Castro submitted his resignation as president of Cuba today. I wonder who he submitted it to, as he is the one who takes all of the submissions (that is if he is still alive).


I think he's dead and his brother Raul wrote up a nice going away letter, and in a day or two the announcement will come that President Castro has passed from this earth. Of course as athiests, the communist there believe that he's all gone, with no soul to go anywhere.


Of course us godly people know that Castro is dancing around Hell's frying pan, as his afterlife will teach him the value of living a good pre-death life.


What now? The whores, gambling joints, sex shows and all of the other freedoms have not forgotten old Havana as a 90 mile off shore hot and saucy town that makes Las Vegas look like Branson. There is a problem. After Raul is overthrown by a libertarian revolution (oh the joy!) we would have to confront the fact that the Cuban people have forgotten how to behave in a free society. They know utter poverty, they understand, in their own way, what it is to be slaves in a slave state. And they also expect what is left of the socialist crumbs Fidel was able muster up, even after the Soviet Union closed.


These poor wretched people, most of whom have no real conception of a free society, need to be taught how to live. Before we can turn on the spigot, and turn Cuba into a free market, lovely vacation and business magnet, the people there have to unlearn 50 years of communism.


And learn liberty. Good luck amigos. May the REAL revolution, the one of ideas, come very soon.

Yep. Sumptins up, Joe.

Especially where in the resignation letter it states...'to spend more time with my family.'

Or maybe he's gone duck hunting with that other recently retired Dictator, Bobby Knight.
