"We will die with dignity!"

Charlene recommends some real heroes...

In the ugly world that we live in, there are few things uglier than the nasty little slime-leftists who fawn over Castro's miserable totalitarian garbage pile. How I hate them. How I wish I could send every one of them to spend a year in one of Cuba's prisons or labor camps.

And I still remember vividly the mad heroic attack by Cuban exiles on Castro's tyranny. And the betrayal of them by JFK.

A Genuine Black American Hero for Black History Month:

...For three days his force of mostly volunteer civilians battled savagely against a Soviet-trained and led force 10 times their size, inflicting casualties of 20 to 1. To this day their feat of arms amazes professional military men. Morale will do that to a fighting force. And there's no morale booster like watching Fidel Castro and Che Guevara ravage your homeland and families, believe me.

When his betrayed, decimated, thirst-crazed, and ammo-less men were finally overwhelmed (but NOT defeated!) by Castro's Soviet-led bumblers at the Bay of Pigs, Oliva snarled at his brainless eunuch of a Castroite opponent, Jose Fernandez (a Spaniard, technically): "the only reason you're holding a gun on us right now, Fernandez, is because we ran out of ammo."

During almost two years in Castro's dungeons, Oliva and his men lived under a daily death sentence. Escaping that sentence would have been easy: simply sign a confession offered to them daily by their guards denouncing the U.S.�which is to say: repeating what Danny Glover, Nelson Mandela, Jeremiah Wright, etc. etc. etc. constantly snarl and bellow about the U.S.

Considering their betrayal, you might think these men had pretty good cause to sign it. But Castro got his answer from Oliva and his men as swiftly and as clearly as the Germans got theirs from McAuliffe and his men at The Bulge—"NUTS!"

Oliva and his men repeatedly spat on the Castroite document—convinced this defiance would doom them to death by firing-squad. "No man in Cuba is as free as a political prisoner in rebellion," said longtime Castro political prisoner Francisco Chappi. We were tortured, we were starved. But we lived in total defiance."

"Inside of our souls we were free," said another Bay of Pigs freedom-fighter (also Black and today a proud U.S. citizen) named Sergio Carrillo, a paratrooper at the Bay of Pigs in 1961 and a Catholic priest in America today. Neither Oliva nor any of his men signed the document. His hundreds of men stood solidly with their commander. "We will die with dignity!" snapped Oliva at the furious Castroites again, and again, and again. To a Castroite such an attitude not only enrages but baffles....
