RUSH: All right, Fidel Castro has hit out at US biofuel use. He\u2019s written an op-ed. Castro ‘signed\u2019 an op-ed. People are speculating, ‘Hey, hey, hey, hey! His health is coming back.\u2019 This op-ed was in their state party newspaper down there, Granma<\/emphasize>. Castro ‘strongly criticized the use of biofuels by the US, in his first article since undergoing surgery last year. He said George W Bush\u2019s support for the use of food crops in fuel production would cause 3 billion deaths from hunger. The article in the Granma newspaper did not mention Mr. Castro\u2019s health.\u2019 Some people think that Castro may have a point here. He\u2019s basically talking ethanol and sugar. Sugar is a big export crop (well, as big as the Cubans have anything), and bigger than tobacco for them down there. Of course, he\u2019s talking about ethanol. He\u2019s referring to the rising price of corn around the world. I\u2019ve predicted this. Castro, I hate to say this in a way, but he\u2019s just echoing sentiments that I have offered on this program previously, although I never put the death toll at any specific number. This is going to give the leftists pause, because they love Castro. He fits the mold perfectly. Why do they love Castro? He\u2019s just a poor little guy down there trying to do the best for his disparaged people. His people are wandering in virtual poverty. His people may have so-called great health care, but look: the infrastructure of Havana is falling apart. The great art deco, the buildings, they\u2019re literally crumbling. There hasn\u2019t been any infrastructure rebuilding, remodeling, reinforcement, nothing. Leftists will not say, ‘Well, that\u2019s because you\u2019ve got a socialist country down there and all the money goes to Castro and the government and they keep it, rather than spend it on the country and the people who live there.\u2019 They\u2019ll never<\/emphasize> conclude that. They\u2019ll just look at these people, and they\u2019ll end up saying it\u2019s the United States\u2019 fault because of our embargo. Then they\u2019ll say, ‘Poor little Castro. He\u2019s such a brilliant man. He has stood up to the evil beast. He has stood up to the devil itself, the United States of America. He doesn\u2019t take any grief.\u2019 He\u2019s admired for this. Castro\u2019s entitled to do whatever he wants and say whatever he wants. Now he\u2019s come along and he\u2019s taken issue here with one of the big movements of the American environmental left, and that is biofuels. But don\u2019t expect Castro to be criticized by any of the people who would normally criticize someone who says that US biofuel use will kill three billion<\/emphasize> people, because he\u2019s entitled. ‘He\u2019s entitled to make a mistake. ‘He\u2019s so frustrated. He\u2019s just so frustrated! He\u2019s been trying to make his island nation a paradise and here in the way is the evil United States, from Lyndon Johnson on. It\u2019s just horrible — and these insane Cuban exiles in Miami, those evil people, those people that are member of the majority\/ They\u2019re the ones that are making it tough for Castro! They\u2019re the ones that are making it tough for us to normalize relations and be able to send welfare down there.\u2019 <\/p>\n

That\u2019s how they look at this. So learn it, love it, live it. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
