This is just the event Obama has been waiting for, i.e. a chance to get away from the failures of Obamacare and step on the world stage to talk about himself (of course) and how he has so much in common with Mandela, how they both struggled against racism all their lives, etc. Needless to say, any eulogizing about Mandela will require Zero's frequent use of "I" and "me."

Unfortunately, where Winnie was saying, "Our necklaces will set us free," Moochelle will have to settle for, "Our vacations will set us free!"

Let's not forget  using burning tires on his  ALLIES when they got a little too uppity.  Hell, it was his WIFE's favorite pastime. If you got crosswise with Winnie you were sceduled for a BBQ.

Or maybe I can have opinions that aren't your stereotypical, safe, Moderate, politically approved opinions. If that makes me "hate freedom", I guess me and freedom are gonna have to break up.

The fact that SA went from economic/military/industrial powerhouse, to that shitty Liveleak country with all of the torture murders, is all the more tragic.

Where people of a certain color were literally sub-human before the law, killed with impunity by police, and subject to show trials over trumped up charges.

We can condemn him all we want for being a Marxist (it was kind of the de facto standard of anti-government movements in that era, so how much of a true-believer Marxist he really was is up for debate), but if gun owners or whites were kept under the government boot as sub-humans by force of law, you - and most of the people on this board condemning him as a terrorist - would be shooting people, slitting throats, and planting bombs in government offices too.

And if I recall, we had an era in our country where that was exactly the case.  All said and done, South Africa handled the whole problem of fixing that much more gracefully than we did.

I'm not referring to the American revolution, which was a secessionist movement.  I'm referring to the cries of "FO", "is it time yet", and "lines in the sand" that have been prevalent on this board for as long as I've been here.  Along with the intermittent talk about how liberals will have their backs against the wall when the revolution comes and other such nonsense.

My post on this from the other thread:

He was a che style communist fuckwit, not to mention a militant race bater, and all around black supremacist.

He launched a campaign of terrorism in South Africa, then caused untold deaths, suffering, and destruction. He was a darling of the global left, and ultimately was able to creat enough support through the propaganda of his liberal (communist) allies to force South Africa to capitulate. What followed was a purge, and persecution of White South Africans, and the complete communist takeover of South Africa.

South Africa went from the wealthiest, and most stable country on the African continent, a shining beacon of freedom, and the free market, a first world country that was a strong American ally, that was once called "the bread basket of Africa" because it's abundant crops once fed nearly the entire continent, to being another third world African hellhole, run by communist pricks with a destroyed infrastructure, and economy, and famine. Today South Africa is known as the rape capital of the world where 3, out of every 4 women report being raped, most repeatedly.

This change is do to mandella.

Burn in hell.

Ill play devils advocate on Nelson. His early life was one of a terrorist and that is what he was imprisoned for. The man was involved with terrorist acts against the state(Bombings)



Do I believe he slightly changed in prison? Yes.........You can't stop a rebel being a rebel......He was going to be a Commie no matter what he did....However I do think he turned his back on violence at the end towards a peaceful means for change.....The late 80's was a bad time to be in South Africa and it was on the verge of exploding. When he became president like I said before he could have called for revenge but he didn't.






I honestly believe he tried to be a leader instead of a rebel towards the end.







That being said he was a Communist. He did thank Castro when he first became President for helping them with the struggle. His Ex wife Winnie needs a dirt map in the worst way. The ANC have ruined South Africa and Zuma is another perfect example of corruption in South Africa.







But I will say even though I still believe Mandela was rightfully prisoned for his actions I do respect him for trying to keep the peace after White rule ended.

It's hard to know who was worse, the racist white apartheid era government, or the  Marxist Mandela government.  It's not easy to blame him for being a revolutionary against the institutional racism of the apartheid state.

This.



I don't believe there were any true winners in that battle.

Do you think that absolves Apartheid-era South Africa?

I wonder what his screenname is on a certain other site named after an energetic precipitation threshold.

GD - A magical place where people threaten to become terrorists if perceived injustices are committed, but condemn a man who did exactly what they say they would do in circumstances no where near as bad.



I understand that somebody's got to play devil's advocate now and then, but I think you might want to scale it back this time.

The man was a communist and an actual terrorist.


If you wanted support from the US, you wrapped yourself in pro-Democracy terms.  If you couldn't get support from the US, you called yourself a Communist and went to the USSR for support instead.  Whether he was actually a Communist or not, I don't know.

I do know that the oft-talked about GD revolution would be a massive terrorist action.  All over a situation which would not be as bad as what drove Mandela to start his terroristic slaughter.

Drag us through the mud for what we do or have done.
Please don't heap accusations based on what you THINK (not know) we will do in some future hypothetical situation.


If the government bans and confiscates guns from whites, would you revolt?


Probably.  Would I be communist?  No.  Would I make a game of putting lit tires around the heads of people?  Nope.

Burn in hell.

Edit: This isn't devil's advocate stuff.  This is GD's rank hypocrisy getting to me.


So, putting GD's hypocrisy aside, do you wish for Mandela to rest in peace?  Do you respect the man?


No, I do not.


OK, so I hope you can understand why you're seen as still playing devil's advocate.  First, you've made it your trademark (and admitted to it in the past).  Second, you're getting awfully hung up over hypocrisy because people are glad that a real life terrorist and Communist is dead.

As far as him resting in peace, that's between him and God. It's none of my business.



Imagine some folks from a land far, far away invade your country. They are foreign. They have better technology, look different, speak different languages and what not. These people take over your lands, and make their own country. At the same time, they set up a brutally repressive regime, targeting you and your fellow countrymen. It is hell on Earth.



If your only choice to end the suffering was to start murdering, blowing stuff up and burning stuff down, would you not do it in a heart beat? I would.



And because I would, I cannot really fault the guy. So yes, I suppose I do respect Mandela. I do respect Dr. King more, for accomplishing largely the same goal without an insurgency.

Ted Cruz's Facebook:

Nelson Mandela will live in history as an inspiration for defenders of liberty around the globe. He stood firm for decades on the principle that until all South Africans enjoyed equal liberties he would not leave prison himself, declaring in his autobiography, 'Freedom is indivisible; the chains on any one of my people were the chains on all of them, the chains on all of my people were the chains on me.' Because of his epic fight against injustice, an entire nation is now free.

We mourn his loss and offer our condolences to his family and the people of South Africa.
