Editor:

Two excellent letters regarding Cuba were published recently. When Fidel Castro took power in 1959, he announced: This is not a dictatorship. We are never going to use force, because we belong to the people. Moreover, the day that the people do not want us, we shall leave. As soon as possible I will take the rifles off the streets. There are no more enemies, there is no longer anything to fight against. That signaled an end to private ownership of firearms in Cuba.

How has that worked out for the Cuban people for the last 61 years. Castro started out as a socialist freedom fighter, then he became a communist.

Think hard and long about voting in politicians with a socialist agenda. It always looks good on paper but never works.

Remember all of our veterans who fought against socialism and communism, some giving the ultimate sacrifice so that we can enjoy the freedoms we have afforded to us by the Constitution and Bill of Rights. Why do you think people flee the oppression of socialism and communism and come to this country?
