re: #29 younggringos

How many Haitians are old enough to have a memory of rule under Papa or Baby doc? Hopefully their national memory is a bit longer than America’s.

Memories have nothing to do with politics. Example… Just a little while ago I was watching a roundtable with reporters for a number of different Paris and French newspapers. They were talking about the rise or popularity of Marianne Le Pen and her National Front party.

I’m sitting there in my hotel room, watching this, and listening to some of the “positive” comments that some were making about her and her party.

I’m yelling at the screen… “It doesn’t matter what she promises about jobs, wages, what to do with Muslims, health care, the price of this and that… she’s a fucking FASCIST…” These folk over here are not that far removed from the bullshit of the last 75 years… yet here are ADULTS discussing the pro-cons of the National Front.

Sorry… unless I’m missing something, nothing from the National Front, or any other fascist is worth the price of what they want.

NOTHING.
