I don’t think I would trust anyone who has ever said any wonderful thing about Nelson Mandela.
But by all means, keep paying that cable and satellite bill every month so they can pay the salaries of people who hate you with money you voluntarily give them. Bunch of mousy, abused housewives....
“Ronald Reagan resisted - he said on the one hand that Nelson Mandela should be released, but he depended upon a white supremacist government to reform itself from within.”
That is exactly what happened.
“I think Nelson Mandela challenged that.”
This last part makes no sense.
Anyhow, I vaguely remember someone named Mary Matalin, but ...
Nelson Mandela was a communist and the ANC a terrorist organization. Reagan and later, Cheney saw that the white South African regime was unsustainable but didn’t want the ANC to take over and establish a communist regime in the country. Mandela was no Ghandi and while he was relatively peaceful as a leader he didn’t do all that much good for his nation which is now suffering from a thuggish black police force, anemic economy, high crime and unemployment rates.
Leftists attempting to make Mandela a secular saint in the mold of Martin Luther King is annoying but predictable. He helped overturn a white government in an African nation. That, alone, is enough to make leftists misty-eyed.
Using Darth Vader is a racist dogwhistle.
Or Peter Griffin.
Why do we even differentiate between NBC and MSNBC? We should just refer to both as NBC.
Rhodesia was a very nice country.
Former V.P. Dick Cheney, still isn’t as dumb, or crazy, as some would have Americans think.
Sometimes, we Americans forget that ol’ Dick was once CEO of the best military aircraft manufacturer in the world, i.e., McDonnnell-Douglas.
