Adding to your reply to the moron.........."a true test of the courage of their convictions."
Perhaps their next 'convictions' will involve prison terms.

Except for the fact we elect the people who set the policy with, generally, full knowledge of their positions and history.
BTW, I include politicians in the group of "most Americans".
Made in China?
Since you're a Trump apologist I'm assuming you're pointing out this as positive quality of Castro's.

Neither I, nor anyone else, has need to apologize for something that ANYONE never said.

Do you have the smallest idea what happens when a natural gas pipeline leaks? It contaminates the water supply not at all.

The scent of conspiracy is in the air. Where was Trump yesterday, anyway?

Trysail is deliberately trying to mislead in his posts by suggesting that existing natural gas pipelines haven't contaminated aquifers, therefore crude oil pipelines also won't contaminate aquifers. I see straight through it, and you either don't or you're backing a liar.
Donald Trump condemned the late Cuban leader Fidel Castro on an otherwise quiet Saturday for the president-elect.
"The world marks the passing of a brutal dictator who oppressed his own people for nearly six decades," Trump said in a statement issued hours after Castro's death. "Fidel Castro’s legacy is one of firing squads, theft, unimaginable suffering, poverty and the denial of fundamental human rights."
Trump, who has pledged to roll back the Obama administration's diplomatic opening to Cuba, said the nation remains "a*totalitarian island," but he hopes that Castro's passing will mark "a*move away from the horrors endured for too long, and toward*a future in which the wonderful Cuban people*finally live in the freedom they so richly deserve."
Noting support of anti-Castro Cuban Americans during the recent presidential election, Trump pledged to fight for a "free Cuba" during his administration.
"Though the tragedies, deaths and pain caused by Fidel Castro cannot be erased, our administration will do all it can to ensure the Cuban people can finally begin their journey toward*prosperity and liberty," Trump said in his statement.
Earlier in the morning, Trump marked the news with *brief tweet: "Fidel Castro is dead."

Useful idiots defined
Fidel Castro, who died late Friday night, was a tyrant who oppressed Cubans and brought misery to many for several decades and while much of the breaking news coverage emphasized that reality, journalists on ABC, CNN and MSNBC – matching how too much of the media approached Castro for decades – couldn’t resist crediting him for supposed great advancements in education, literacy and health care. *
On MSNBC, Andrea Mitchell insisted in a stock bio that Castro “gave his people better health care and education.” Appearing live by phone, she soon trumpted how Castro “will be revered” for “education and social services and medical care to all of his people.”
Along a similar theme, in an ABC Special Report during Nightline, Jim Avila maintained that “even Castro’s critics praised his advances in health care and in education.”
In a relatively tough report on Castro’s abuses, CNN’s Martin Savidge, in a pre-recorded bio piece, highlighted how “many saw positives, education and health care for all, racial integration.”
A meandering Brian Williams popped up by phone on MSNBC to ruminate and recalled how in his last visit to Cuba, in 2015: “You see the medicine system they are very proud of.”
ABC’s Avila went so far as to tout how Castro “was considered, even to this day, the George Washington of his country among those who remain in Cuba.”
Reminiscing about his high school years, via phone on MSNBC, Chris Matthews asserted that Castro was “a romantic figure when he came into power” and, Matthews wasn’t embarrassed to relay, “we rooted like mad for the guy” who “was almost like a folk hero to most of us.”

Oh I'm sure Trump would be delighted with a return to a Batista style government.

Actually I do have a Fidel shirt.
What information do you have that leads you to believe that?

you kind of need to decide whether Trump is an anti-communist Pro Batista kindaa guy or a pro Putin communist kind of guy
I think he's a "Trump bad no matter what he does" kinda guy.

I don't have it handy but I read it it was limp-wristed. The closest he came to an actual sop to actual Americans of Cuban descent who hated Castro is something about him engendering strong feelings.

You should probably look up the definition of "apologist" so you don't continue to look silly.

Agreed. Right after you decide if Obama and Hillary are war mongers or giant pussies.
For that matter, are Libs giant pussies or Dominant Mother Fuckers that have made Republican lives miserable for 8 years?
Y'all dummies crack me up.

Says the man who has significant holdings and business dealings in Saudi Arabia.
I guess it's ok since it's not an island. Or because they are his business holdings.
Do you recognize a difference between business and politics?
