Fidel Castro’s recent self-eulogy (er, “resignation letter”), and its favourable presentation by the modern media is another delightful demonstration of the absurdity of some aspects of the modern left. The same journalist that praises Castro is invincibly ignorant of Castro’s explicit intent to nuke the USA (=> the journalist and/or her parents) during the Cuban Missile Crisis. (That’s according to McNamara’s first-hand account in The Fog of War),

It reminds one of modern gay/feminist/…ist activists allying themselves with islamists – not apparently realizing that their “allies” would have them killed if they only could.
