When it comes to Ernesto [Che] Guevara and the death penalty is where the left contradicts itself. Liberals are in the front lines opposing the death penalty for suspected murders here in the US. They're worried that we might accidentally kill an innocent person.
Down in Latin America, there was a Communist terrorist known as Ernesto [Che] Guevara, who had fun executing his victims. By the way, Che INTENDED to kill innocent people, basically those who did nothing wrong but were killed because the Castro regime disliked them. Not only were not all of them connected to Batista, but some fought in Castro's July 26th movement to help bring Batista down and were executed for calling for democracy. Well, looking at these facts, you would expect the political left to be in the front lines attacking Che Guevara. Because, as seen by the quote above, Che and the Castro regime decided who was executed based on "revolutionary conviction." The tribunals they got were a sham. But no, you see the opposite.
Liberals have decided to rewrite the history of Che Guevara to make him look like a freedom fighter who fought for the poor and oppressed. While denouncing the death penalty on suspected criminals, who unlike Che's victims got an actual fair trial, and worried they could kill the wrong person accidentally, liberals whitewash Che's executions, saying they were connected to Batista. So I guess they oppose the death penalty when the American government does it, but not when Che did it.
Che had fun executing his victims. If any executor of the American government had as much fun executing their victims [that is those who got an actual fair trial], then we'd see liberals making the biggest fuss about it there is.
Che was incompetent at everything except for executing people. So logically, it would be expected of liberals to denounce this man and the fact that there are T-shirts of this so-called heroic guerrilla warrior.
So I guess in the liberal morality rate, if you're a Latin American Communist who opposed the "yankee imperialists,'' I guess it's okay to break some rules. I guess it's okay to execute people, giving them sham "tribunals'' and killing those who the regime knew did nothing wrong. It just so happens that we "evil'' and "greedy" Conservatives oppose this Latin American Communist terrorist and his executions of innocent men, women and children.
Liberals portray themselves as these guys who care about human rights while whitewashing and idolizing a guy who had no concept for human rights, a guy who executed thousands of innocent men, women and children and also started labor camps for the Communist regime in Cuba.
Next time you liberals see a guy wear a Che Guevara t-shirt, remember, the guy on this fellow's T-shirt executed innocent men, women and children and gave them no trial. Remember that's the guy who these guys are wearing a T-shirt of. That's right, the same guy who is everything liberals claim to oppose when coming to the death penalty.
Not all liberals will idolize Che Guevara. Still, at least many liberals, along with Communists and other extreme leftists, are twisting the history of Che to portray him as a heroic guerilla who was fighting for the poor and oppressed people of Latin America, while the truth is the opposite. In reality, Che was one of the most brutal oppressors for the totalitarian Communist ideology.
Liberals are bashing Cuban-Americans for speaking up against the Castro regime and for giving documentation about Che's atrocities. They're giving more documentation of the executions by Che Guevara of innocent men, women and children.
I have a question for my readers: Does it make sense to condemn the death penalty for people who got a fair trial with charges of murder, but not to condemn the death penalty on innocent men, women and children who got sham tribunals and are there because the Communist terrorist regime dislikes them?
The death of an innocent person is worse than words can describe, even if it is by accident or mistake. It's far worse to intentionally kill an innocent person.
