Burlington Che Factory Update
Cuban Grammar school students, called "young pioneers", salute the flag every morning with the slogan "pioneers for communism, we will be like Che."
Cuba has promoted "Che" as a symbol of revolutionary virtues, sacrifice and internationalism inside and outside the country since his death. Castro called Guevara "an extraordinary human being of great intelligence and culture, with an enormous sense of solidarity."
Hatred as an element of the struggle; a relentless hatred of the enemy, impelling us above and beyond the natural limitations that man is heir to, and transforming him into an effective, violent, seductive and cold killing machine. - Communist Mass Murderer Che Guevara
This man, who ordered the execution of countless human beings while in charge of the notorious La Cabaña prison in Havana, who terrorized Cuban society and who denied freedom to thousands of citizens whom he considered "deviants" or "anti-revolutionaries" can never be accepted as a hero, martyr or -- the shock of it -- a saint. The blood of thousands of Cubans is on the hands of "Che" Guevara. Link.
This is the man whose memory is glorified by liberal activists as they scream for peace and condemn the President of the United States of America, George W. Bush.
Val over at the Babalu Blog gives us an update on the Burlington Che Factory protest.
Seems Val was interviewed by Madeline Baró Diaz, a reporter for the South Florida Sun Sentinel working on an article about the Burlington Coat Factory/Che Guevara merchandise issue. No word on if and when the article will be published.
I proudly participated in the protest held at Burlington Coat Factory store in Miami this past weekend, photos can be found here. According to Burlington, those of us who did so are "provocateurs", "fanatics", and "extremists."
