Latin America and Africa (South of Sahara) 3/18/2015

 Well tonight we started up with Latin America and the liberation of Grand Columbia by Bolivar. He took his example from us and is considered The George Washington of South America. He liberated the Spanish Colonialist from Spain's oppression. This would have been a golden opportunity for a true relationship between North/South America if they only spoke English. We have always been snobs about that fact that we want freedom but only if your WASP.
  We also looked at Argentina and Peronism, don't be misled, this is Fascism renamed after WWII by Nazis and remnants of Mussolini's party who fled to this safe haven after the war. They practiced their own atrocities as we in the U.S.looked away. Well they weren't communist so who cared. It's sad that we put so much effort into stopping the spread of communism instead of making the lives of the people in South America better. Now we have an illegal immigration problem because of all the crap we stirred up with regime changes to keep the red threat out.  
  Lets look at Africa now. It seems that with global warming and the expanding deserts, the continent is in turmoil. HIV/AIDS have killed generations of Africans and created some of the worst refugee criseses since WWII. It seems that some are under the impression that Catholic Charities is the  biggest cause cause of this because they maintain most of the medical and educational needs of these poorest of the worlds poor. Well I may not be a practicing Catholic but I am a Catholic and I Say what has any other group done to really make a difference in their lives. We watch Islamic radicals come in  and kill and force their views on the weak. Yet they make no one they touch better and destroy all they conquer. More Christians (Most Catholics) are killed for their beliefs then any other religious group today. They still go and help regardless the threat, and they don't force conversion on those they help. So I say if you don't agree with their views then come help these poor your own way. Don't hate Catholics for being Catholics. Well thats my rant for this week.
