Castro's vast wealth

Betsy Newmark points toward this report about the latest estimate of Fidel Castro's wealth by Forbes Magazine. Isn't interesting how American lefties love Fidel and his luxurious lifestyle?

If an American builds a business by employing people who voluntarily agree to work for him to produce and sell products that people voluntarily buy, liberals denounce him as a capitalist robber baron. If, however, a man uses armed force to seize a country, kills, tortures and represses the people, and robs them of everything of value, he is a liberal hero.

Obviously, liberals have a very sick sense of morality. I will note that liberals defend their love of Fidel be noting that he justifies the murder, torture and theft by claiming to do it for the benefit of those he brutalizes. Apparently this makes everything "all better".

Tough call. Are they morally sick or incredibly stupid?

Actually .... both.
