Castro Survivor: You Don't Know What Freedom Is

This is a great speech and sums up why Cubans hold on to the 2nd Amendment so dearly. This testimony talks about how the left destroyed Cuba and some examples of what people had to endure under Castro.

Rafael Cruz: Obama Reminds Me of Castro

I enjoyed this speech by Ted Cruz' father. I've maintained all along that Obama has the charm and persuasion skills of all history's tyrants and reminds me very much of Castro. When he first took over, Castro was very popular, was a "people person", engaged in sports, etc. Pretty much everything like Obama comes off as. Once Castro was in power and started confiscating guns, that is when he began showing his true colors.

Experiences from Cuban dissidents

I will be adding more from other people as well as my dad's own experience (my last remaining bloodline who lived in Cuba) of how our family lost everything to Castro and the Left, plus how life is like in the Castro regime.  

Thanks to Stonewall for sharing these experiences.

.@Cuco3 My wife & I have had a lot of discussion on what Cuban's lost (she is Cuban - came out in '65). She is very fearful of a repeat.

.@Cuco3 Same as Iraq (was there & in AFG for 38 mod). Pple own nothing, state takes all, no ability even to speak with families & friends.

.@Cuco3 My father-in-law was in Castro's dungeons eating cockroaches in stew for 17 years - then rated worst prisons in world.

.@Cuco3 My wife actually loses sleep about this; bringing back memories of being ousted from house; seeing 13 little boys led to execution.

.@Cuco3 Stay tuned. My blog goes live this month. My history-based novel on many of those events comes out in November.

.@Cuco3 She remembers (as a girl of 11) having to sing Communist Internationale @ school, and being screamed at by crowds, "Gusanos" (worms)

.@Cuco3 Wife was stuck between rock & hard-place. School required her to sing, mother forbade it, and watched to ensure.

.@Cuco3 I feel for my wife. She suffered. On the day they were ejected by Castro's troops from house, they put a big black X on the door.

.@Cuco3 Her father placed in box for hours at a time in prison. Too short too stand up, too narrow to sit, no bathroom breaks. Coming to US.
— Stonewall (@Stonewall_77) August 2, 2013

.@Cuco3 When preparing to leave Cuba, no rations were allowed departing refugees. Relatives shared (meaning not enough for anyone).

.@Cuco3 You might not believe. I knew JFK, Jr. Wanted to come to dinner. My wife refused. Said could not explain to family. .@WarUnicorn
