					<description><![CDATA[There is something very insincere about how are BLM and CRT people are ignoring the disaster in Haiti. Here we have had this wonderful cleansing reconciliation movement about races, how races are so important and vital a part of our identities, and how white people owe so much historical reparation to bring equity to our victims of oppression. Yet, eight hundred miles away from Miami these newly beloved races are suffering terribly. And not a peep. How can this be? Has all this criticism of whites been a trick?]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Geoffrey:

One final whack at your latest Pinata:

&quot;“If profound violations of due process and the rule of law, if in America, gulag like conditions for American political prisoners isn’t a moral and constitutional duty for US Senators to speak out against, then what pray tell qualifies for being labeled a betrayal of their sworn duty?”

Excessive bail or denial of bail, solitary confinement, extreme disproportionate penalties for political protests are not yet a gulag.  Have you read the Gulag Archipelago or has that faded from memory?  Do you remember descriptions of the White Sea Canal, Kolyma, or other examples of that profound evil?  Exaggerate much?  Again.

The progressives and the left may want to take us there but you loose credibility much the same as AOC did when she claimed Trump had concentration camps on our border.

Circular firing squads are not a recipe for success.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[John Tyler
&lt;b&gt;As usual, the even more execrable Brooklyn commie, Bernie Sanders, once again jumped thru his anus to defend that commie hellhole by noting that Castro increased the literacy rate; that not everything in Cuba is bad.
Of course, Bernie neglects to mention that Cuba, in 1959 already had a 71%  &lt;/b&gt;[79%]&lt;b&gt; literacy rate, which at that time was the 4th highest in Latin America. When is comes to defending totalitarian commie regimes, Bernie somehow finds a way to do this, but he NEVER can find one F’n thing to defend about the USA. &lt;/b&gt;

 (Even in the decade of Cuba&#039;s massively publicized literacy program,-in the 1960&#039;s- IIRC, Cuba ranked about 9th out of 20 Latin American countries in increase in literacy. And yes, even back in the 1960s Bernie was crowing about Cuba&#039;s increase in literacy. See Vermont Freeman.)

Through the decades, other Latin American countries closed the literacy gap between Cuba and Latin America. From  1960-~2010, Cuba ranked 16th out of  the 20  countries of Latin America in increase in literacy- about 20%. There are 2 reasons  for Cuba&#039;s  ranking so low in increase in literacy. First,  as John Tyler points out, Cuba already had a relatively high rate of literacy, so it didn&#039;t have so far to go. IIRC, Bolivia ranked first with 56% increase from 1960-2010. Which brings forth the second point: other countries also improved- not just Cuba. You don&#039;t need totalitarianism to improve literacy or health care.

 As far as I can tell, Bernie has not said a peep about  other Latin American or Third World countries increasing literacy- only Commie countries. If Bernie were actually interested in Third World countries&#039; increasing literacy, he would discussed all such marked improvements- such as Bolvia&#039;s.  But Bernie talks only about Commie Cuba.

Similarly, Bernie made comments about Cuba and Sandinista Nicaragua reducing Infant Mortality.
Bernie made no mention of Pinochet’s Chile, which surpassed Cuba and Sandinista Nicaragua in reducing Infant Mortality. From 1960 to 1978, Cuba reduced its Infant Mortality rate from 47.1 to 20.3 deaths per 1,000 infant births- a reduction of 26.8 in 18 years. From 1976 to 1983, Pinochet’s Chile  reduced its Infant Mortality  rate from 47.5 to 20.7 deaths per 1,000 infant births- a reduction of 26.8 in 7 years. During its rule of 16 years, the Pinochet regime reduced Chile’s Infant Mortality rate from 63.4 to 17.2, an absolute reduction of 46.2 and a percentage reduction of  73% . From 1960 to 1976, the first 16 years of the Castro regime in World Bank data, Cuba’s Infant Mortality rate fell from 47.1 to 22.7, an absolute reduction of 24.4 and a percentage reduction of 52%.Not a peep  from Bernie.
Which helps document that Bernie’s concern for improving literacy or Infant Mortality rates in Third World  countries  is  limited to shilling for Commie countries.  (World Bank data)

					<description><![CDATA[Geoffrey, old buddy:

Accusation of treason is extreme, but not for some (you).  Accusation of slander is also not unusual when I go down the path of Mt. Hyperbole that you&#039;ve trod before.  In your dottage consider that treason applied to political disagreements might have some unintended consequences.  You missed that?  

Regarding unanswered questions posed to you; am I allowed to ask, what do the voters of TX, UT, Arkansas, have to say about the Geoffrey rule?

Trigger warning, slander alert, are you channeling The Red Queen - &quot;Off with their heads!&quot;
