Just thinking ahead....,,,Will the death of Mandela cause US flags to fly at half staff? If President orders will towns and corporations comply? Will those who do not comply be labelled as racists?

Legacy: We hear only the good. What is the state of South Africa as a result if Mandela's rule? Are they better off now?

GMTA! I was thinking a moment of silence interrupted by farting! That’s what the racist murderer deserves. No respect whatsoever.

I think Obama is going to so capitalize on Mandela's death that, by executive order:

* Flags will be lowered completely off the staff.
* Every day there will be a national moment of silence at the minute of his death.
* Our capital will be renamed "Mandela, D.C."
* Pennsylvania Ave. will become "St. Nelson Mandela Blvd."
* School children will be taught to sing "For he's our holy Mandela."
* NFL teams will wear commemorative patches with Mandela's image, and shoes and gloves in the colors of the South African flag.
* All TV award shows, every presenter and every award recipient, will pay tribute to St. Mandela.
* Anyone who objects or fails to comply will be sent to mandatory sensitivity training.

He describes a dangerous nation, where there are areas white just plain cannot enter at night.

Big deal -- There are areas like that in almost any large US city. When I lived in Oakland, CA back in the 1990's, there were areas that whites knew they had best avoid even in broad daylight.

One, it is still alive and kicking. I can tell you, IF he were to be gone at some point before I am gone, I will not lower my flag for him. He is not a citizen in my opinion. And, he is not my president. I do not recognize him as my president. I don’t watch any of his speeches, talks, whatever, nor read a word he says. If his face appears on my TV, I immediately change the channel. As far as I am concerned, America is a ship sailing on the seas without a captain, no leader, no leadership at all. Not in the White House nor in Congress. For the first time in my life, I feel I am in a nation that is leaderless, without direction and failing and dying. We can be compared with Mogadishu or some like place. But, that is one man’s opinion.
