Hey, could you repost those legitimate arguments in this thread because I've read and re-read your posts and can't find them. This is a serious request by the way. I would like to know what you posted that you consider to be legitimate arguments rather than doctrinaire pronouncements. (JT)

Could you also repost any replies in this thread that insinuated any of the above because I can't find them either. I did find a question asking if you would have preferred Batista to Castro but since even a 5th grade knows that is substantively different that claiming you wish Batista were still in power you must be referring to something else. You've certainly set a straw man alight with your above comments but I don't see anything else burning.
