Koch brothers bad, Castro brothers Boy Scouts. The left’s reaction to the president’s Cuba move illuminates liberal hypocrisy

The Washington Times reports:
Liberals were in a near euphoric state on Wednesday after President Obama announced that the United States and Cuba are on a path to normalizing relations between the two nations, a move that will pave the way for a U.S. Embassy in Havana, and may eventually lead to lifting a 50-year-old American trade embargo.

I mean sure, the Castro brothers are oppressive to their own people. So they’ve killed an untold number of political dissidents or imprisoned them in forced labor camps. So they don’t allow “freedom of speech,” or “freedom of the press,” or “the right to assemble.” Yeah sure, they’re a “state sponsor of terrorism.”


The typical tenured professor is closer ideologically to the Castro brother than the Koch brothers.
