What's the phrase?

A conservative is a liberal who's been mugged.

Well, here's a liberal who was mugged by reality, although I don't know if it'll make him think any harder.

A Canadian naivo, someone who probably fancied himself a little too smart to be taken in by a thief, kind of ignored his tingling antennae in the case of castro. So, he obtained a house in Cuba and all the permits to repair it, probably happily thinking to himself that while those gringos have their trade embargo, he had no such problem. Silly gringos, didn't they understand that Cuba is a normal place, just like Canada? A place where you get permits and those permits mean what they say? Maybe it was better that they didn't. With the absence of a gringo buying market to drive up real estate prices, he had it made. What never occurred to him is that the embargo was enacted to protect Americans, not to punish castro. The naive Canadian had no idea he had no such protections.

So, he got TOOK for $100,000 in repairs he made to the house he "bought" in Cuba. It was something he intended to live in, and he vaguely says it was all legal, but the fact remains it was possibly obtained at the expense of some Cuban family castro confiscated it from earlier. If it wasn't, trust me, there were houses in that area that were. And in his naivete, the Canadian somehow thought it couldn't happen to him.

castro took one look at the Canadian's sumptious restoration and lovingly done repairs, and promptly ... confiscated it .... without compensation and without explanation. He handed it to some crony Cuban colonel.

Who's now turning his unearned spoil of socialist redistribution back into a hovel.

What kind of liberal asshat do you have to be to buy property in Cuba right now? Just how indoctrinated and mindless do you have to be in order to think you have any rights in Cuba right now? Just how fucking dumb do you have to be in order to think you can just go about life in Cuba as you would at home? These people have learned NOTHING! FUCKING NOTHING! Every communist cockgoblin who worships Castro (which includes a majority of the Democrat Party) has learned NOTHING IN THE PAST FIFTY YEARS!

I can't shed a single tear for this guy.
