Che Guevara Or The Jesuits

With all the Che buzz about with the new glorified bio-pick, this little blog post reminds us that evil can be glamorized. The miss guided blog author seems to portray Che as some sort of Lawrence of Arabia.

An excerpt from a travel blog post entitled Che and the Jesuits.

It might be considered a toss-up as to which of Alta Gracia's ( Argentina) two main attractions are of most interest to its many visitors - Che Guevara or the Jesuits. For us there was no question, as we just happened to arrive in the small, colonial mountain town during "Che Week 2005" - immediately apparent due to the profusion of red and black banners of the famous 1960 photo. Although he was born in the city of Rosario in 1928, Che's parents moved to Alta Gracia when he was just four years old, hoping that the dry mountain air would alleviate his severe asthma and allow him to lead a more normal life........

Alta Gracia's main plaza San Martin was abuzz with excitement on Sunday afternoon as dozens of Che Guevara "look alikes" and "wannabies" lined up their ancient but proudly maintained motorcycles in preparation for the scheduled parade. Onlookers were clearly torn between following the motorcycle activities getting underway in front of them, and the initiation of the mass in the Iglesia Parroquial Nuestra Señora de la Merced behind them. Most decided that Che should take precedence, as they would have plenty of opportunity later to visit the expansive Jesuit estancia. We also elected to follow the Che route, keen to acquire more insight into his legendary exploits and his idealistic beliefs that armed combat was the only way to overthrow the aristocratic ruling classes and gain rights for the poor......Back to the Jesuits. Although expelled from the country in 1767, the Jesuits definitely left a legacy of architectural magnificence. Considered one of the finest Jesuit estancias in the province, the spacious structures overlooking the Plaza continue to service the religious needs of the community, as well as providing quarters for a museum and a public school. On a rainy afternoon's walk of the area, we noted that the Jesuits were also responsible for constructing a complex system of irrigation, visible still in the Tajamar - one of (nice link) Alta Gracia's 17th century dams - which still serves as a central feature of the town. Many other residences, workshops, chapels and monuments are evidence of the vigorous activity and remarkable success achieved by the Jesuits over a period of only a hundred and fifty years.

The real Che is a cold blooded mass murder, international terrorist, atheist and card carrying commie.
