Ted Cruz's dad fought on the same side as Fidel Castro. Yes, really.

[mota bhai 2,675]

“I have many, many times described the full context of his fighting with [Fidel] Castro — in the broader sense, … not side by side, but on the same side as Castro,” he said.

...

He said his father began fighting against Batista’s regime when he was 14, in 1953. When the elder Cruz was 17, he was imprisoned and tortured by Batista’s government, his son said. The next year, 1957, Rafael Cruz legally went to Texas on a student visa issued by the Batista regime, Ted Cruz said.

...

Ted Cruz said his father described himself as among young teenage boys who fought Batista and allied with Castro’s forces because “they didn’t know Castro was a Communist, what they knew was that Batista was a cruel and oppressive dictator.”

You may not be very sucessfull. Freedom-loving people seldom hate anything. Hate is not a value to which Americans subscribe. Besides, hate is positively non-christian.

re: Ted Cruz - so what?

All of this stuff was covered when he ran for Senate.

Sorry yer getting the news late.

He's a great senator, at the moment, and everyone knows he's not qualified to run for President.

Big deal.

What's the problem?
