Miami Plans Anti-Communism Concert Amidst Bernie's Support Of Castro
[Victory Girls] The city of Miami is not a fan of Castro, Communism, Cuba, nor Bernie Sanders. Now they are making their disdain for all things Communist very clear by planning an anti-Communist concert on April 11.

Mayor Francis Suarez and the entire city commission unanimously voted to promote the concert and waive nearly $22,000 in fees.
"Our city represents the stories of countless individuals who have risked their lives to flee communism," Suarez said, mentioning Cuba, Nicaragua and Venezuela. "Each and every life that has fled communism has proven how the will to pursue democracy and freedom, even in the face of oppression, can never be suppressed or silenced."

The timing of this concert, in my opinion, is no coincidence. Bernie Sanders is currently the presumptive Democrat nominee for President. He has blatantly stated, as recently as Sunday on 60 Minutes, that Cuba was a paradise for all; especially on the literary front. Then, as Jodi writes here, Sanders doubled down on his claims and essentially told those who are calling him on the carpet to Shut Up.

With Bernie’s win in Nevada, suddenly Democrats are super concerned that the Pandora box they opened years ago let loose Bernie and his many vicious followers. The back pedaling has been immense.

That said, we along with many other blogs and a few media publications have been discussing Bernie’s love for all things Communist and Socialist for years now. His love for both is a FEATURE with him, not a bug.

So to see the Democrat establishment and media types suddenly wake up to the reality that is Commie Bernie is both amusing and sad. Don’t get me wrong, they are still trying to fence straddle and "explain" that Bernie’s brand is benign compared to the failures we’ve watched happen in Nicaragua, Cuba, Venezuela, Russia, and more.

The sheer number of people who are trying to explain that Bernie’s brand of authoritarian socialism is not that troubling while stepping on their own rakes (Hi Jen ’not a conservative’ Rubin!) is quite something. It is also something that should concern us all given their abject failure to recognize how evil both types of ’isms are, and that the Castro regime was a poster child for that evil.

#1 America needs to listen very closely to the Cubans when they talk about Castro
If someone praises Fidel, Che is not far behind

#3 As a refugee from "Cuber" (JFK speak)class of 1961 (at 11 yrs old), all this crap about socialism/communism is getting me out of sorts..when I try to explain to my Anglo friends here in southern Cuomo land about what happened in Cuba, they either say well, these are different times or they just don't want to talk about it...and btw, I wouldn't trust any cuban coming after say, 1980..maybe a few but most of them still got that socialist dogma in their heads.

#5 The man is a shithead who hasn't the faintest idea about the madness he's proposing. He should be forced to go live in Venezuela for two years and then tell us whether he's still a Marxist.

#7 They probably would not have to work too hard to get Ted Nugent and Kid Rock. I'd go see that.

#9 re #6, Lex, you need to make it a group "tour" for Bernie, Buttplug and chief lie-a-watha.

The fact that this shit wasn't laid to rest 30 years ago is disgusting beyond belief.
