Trudeau needs some history lessons. Apparently he went to Obama’s school and also spent time with the Choom gang.

Everybody does not share this country’s hate. Fidel, is known and respected the world over. No country is perfect, therefore, who can point a finger?

The Invasion of the Not-To-Bright-Bart Trolls. See them spew stupidity and ignorance all of the floor. Why don’t you haters go back to the fever swamps where your juvenile nonsense is considered to be positive.

Yeah, like bratty, snot-nosed, little kids with no Mommy and Daddy to discipline you, you go and annoy the grown-ups with your infantile behavior. Nothing to contribute, just stupid drivel. Loser.
