Yesterday I issued a heartfelt and personal statement about the passing of President Nelson Mandela. I said that his family and his country would be in my prayers and Callista’s prayers.
I was surprised by the hostility and vehemence of some of the people who reacted to me saying a kind word about a unique historic figure.
So let me say to those conservatives who don’t want to honor Nelson Mandela, what would you have done?
Mandela was faced with a vicious apartheid regime that eliminated all rights for blacks and gave them no hope for the future. This was a regime which used secret police, prisons and military force to crush all efforts at seeking freedom by blacks.
What would you have done faced with that crushing government?
What would you do here in America if you had that kind of oppression?

>> Tell us, are you just a “stealth” Mitt Romney Bott ... or just a Liberal Welfare Pimp ?
Well, Sir Patton, Newt’s Mandela missteps, combined with that erudite reply to the (ahem) *lady* Yaelle, have certainly convinced me!
I assure you my household will NEVER AGAIN provide any sort of support for that bolus of vomit that calls itself Newt Gingrich.
Speaking of which, I intend to do all in my limited power to make your life in the forum as comfortable as possible.
FRegards
BTTT!
Kept a respectful silence, on behalf of, and in memory of, all the people murdered by the ANC and its never-acknowledged thug force from the 1950's to present.
Newt, the history don, seems to have forgotten everything he once knew about the ANC's origin as a revenant Mau-Mau, a Communist-founded and -run terror organization and underground army dedicated to the destruction of South Africa and its Boer and English founders and owners.
South Africa never belonged to the black immigrants who were totally absent during the Zulu Wars, who came down from other central-African countries in search of work in the 20th century .... and stayed to kill and conquer.
Of all people, Newt Gingrich ought not to be participating in this Soviet-style Orwellian rewriting of history that liberaldom and its wholly-owned MSM has been perpetrating.
Are you kidding or trolling?
See my last.
The Boers are there right now. Intestinally hated to death by the black population, they now face mass extermination every single day. They've been kept alive only because Mandela, Tambo, Mbeki and the rest of the ANC half-brights realized that a mass exodus of the defeated proprietors of the country would plunge them all into Mugabe-style kleptocratic "phobocracy" and the rekindling of old rivalries and hatreds to the point of genocide a la Rwanda, on a grander scale.
Exactly. South Africa is lost, and I hope we can stop America from being lost too. I will fight here to my last breath.
Did you actually read Newt's complete article ? I did.
Yeah, so did I. Do you take Newt's comments about Mandela's respect for property rights seriously?
Let Newt sell that comment quoted above to white South African farmers expropriated or killed by Mandela's followers. Especially since it's still continuing (see the thread comments about the acceleration of killing since the demise of the National Party regime), and as you yourself conclude, is very likely to reaccelerate or even break out into widespread, unrestricted orgies of genocidal murder.
Mandela restrained his toughs while he was alive (Helen Suzman almost got stomped/raped/murdered when she attended the ANC victory rally post-election, but was rescued by someone on the leadership dais who recognized her just in time), but Mandela's dead now, and we'll all see what he authored in due course, as the generation of ANC politicians who cared what Mandela said fade from the scene and the thugs take over.
I have read some of these Mandela threads, and what you posted there is what I would have posted. Free education and free healthcare and a good economy are all wonderful, but would you trade your full liberty and freedom for that.
Stephen Biko was not an ANC militant, however he was tortured and murdered in jail for opposing the apartheid regime. They tried to cover it up, but that did not work.
I am not saying that the current ruling class is doing what is right. Freedom and self-determination are wonderful things, but with it comes great responsibility. There is a responsibility to preserve those freedoms, and make the right decisions for your people and your country. On an individual level, there is a need to use the freedoms to work hard and improve. Now you can't keep blaming anyone else for your failures.
I happen to like to blame other people for my failings, it takes a load off shoulders. I like being fat, dumb, and happy. I do agree with your post even though I may have to give up my hard won status of fat, dumb, and happy. Life is rough.
Notice that Newt owns up to having personally presented Mandela with a Congressional medal .... that means his earlier judgment of the man is involved, and yes, he is defending the honor.
He knew better already, when he choked down what he knew about the ANC and pinned that medal on Mandela.
The stated reason for the honor was disingenuous, and its real rationale was prospective and inspirited with pleading for the lives of millions of white South Africans -- a sort of entreaty to the ANC to forbear slaughtering its conquered peoples.
I wouldn’t have teamed up with commies to commit acts of terrorism, you worthless egomaniac.
No one cares what you have to say, Newt. Put a cork in it. You and anyone else defending that terrorist can go straight to hell.
Oh, you mean like in 1995 during the 1996 budget confab with Slick, when Newt and Dole thought they had a deal, and Clinton went out and preemptively lied to the press (who loved it no doubt) and beat the Republicans' brains in -- and then shut down the Government and blamed it all on Newt?
That "insider"? The only "insiders" on that deal were Slick, Beast, Tommy Dasschole, and about 400 Media reptiles. All of them laughing at Newt.
Even Newt confessed at the time, that he was completely unable to deal with Slick. Newt complained that every time he spent an hour talking to The Rapist, he had to take three days to detoxify after absorbing the rubber-hose job.
Well said
Don't worry, Newt. We WILL find out, in America, what we are willing to do.
Neither.
I’m guessing Zulu is not in reference to the tribe in Africa. The ANC was particularly hard on the Zulus from what I have read.
There - I feel better.
Sadly, Mandela’s death comes as SA is on the verge of genocide. I suppose Mandela could have brought it about sooner if he had been inclined, but he did not stop the progression towards genocide. Pray for SA.
Thank you for your comments.
