Rafael Cruz, A Cuban Ben Carson?


Probably his responses will be more intelligent but it appears that the father of Cuban Shitheel Ted Cruz is Ben's equal in lying about his 'glorious' past. Now that Cuba is opening to the US, researchers are able to get a clearer picture of what really happened all those years ago and it seldom matches that as told by 'Pastor' Cruz.
The elder Mr. Cruz, 76, recalls a vivid moment at a watershed 1956 battle in Santiago de Cuba, when he was with a hero of the revolution, Frank País, just hours before he was killed in combat.

In fact, Mr. País was killed seven months later and in a different place and manner.

In interviews, Rafael Cruz’s former comrades and friends disputed his description of his role in the Cuban resistance. He was a teenager who wrote on walls and marched in the streets, they said — not a rebel leader running guns or blowing up buildings.

Leonor Arestuche, 79, a student leader in the ’50s whom the Castro government later hired to verify the supposed exploits of revolutionary veterans, said a term existed for people like Mr. Cruz — “ojalateros,” or wishful thinkers. “People wishing and praying that Batista would fall,” she said, “but not doing much to act on it.”...

All of the unrest in Santiago de Cuba led the Batista government to close the university there, and Mr. Cruz returned to Matanzas, on the north coast, where he says he began leading his old cell and running weapons. In Ted Cruz’s book, he graduated to saboteur, disrupting transportation and communications infrastructure throughout the province.

“Yes, I know him,” said Liborio Vera Andreu, 79, a schoolmate and leader in the youth brigades in Matanzas. But he said Mr. Cruz’s involvement had been limited to participating “in strikes and in protests.”

Asked on different occasions, Mr. Cruz was unable to name any specific acts of sabotage he carried out. He spoke of throwing Molotov cocktails, but could not name any targets.
It seems pretty clear that anyone who has conversations with god has a fecund imagination about everything in his life. And if that damned Obama hadn't opened up Cuba, no one would know.
