Nelson Mandela was a thug, murderer, and terrorist. He was no hero. He was evil.
You can’t do good acts and then do evil acts and be thought of as good. If I do a mountain of good things and then go out and murder people, I’m an evil person. Despite all the good things I may have done. Sorry, Mandela is evil to me.
He is no saint. If he was a right-winger who had done (a fraction of) the same things, we certainly know what kind of media coverage he’d be receiving today.
This is disgusting.
We need to thank National Review for coming out of the closet.
He’s dead.
Let the dead lie in peace.
Nelson Mandela, Communist murderer, terrorist, racist, thug who died well after his time.
We are all sinners. Even the good we do may be wrong if not done for God.
But for God's sake get off the bandwagon, America, and think for yourselves.
Actually, he is dead, and I have nothing else to say about him or what anyone else says about him.
We have about 6 more days of angst, guilt, pandering and kabuki ahead of us. After he is in the ground (wherever), his legacy can go the way of JFK et al and only be remembered on future anniversaries.
Basically the author is saying that Nelson Mandela might have been a terrorist scumbag but he said some nice words once.
Mandela was a Communist. Communism is evil.
Nelson Mandela was an unrepentant communist terrorist.
We cannot judge. Perhaps he confessed and had a deathbed conversion experience.
He supposedly prevented mass murder of white people when he and the ANC took over. That might have been true for a while, but he failed to institutionalize it so now white farmers are being murdered, just like Zimbabwe.
LOL
Depends on a persons point of view. If one is a truth believer he is not very good, if truth matters little he is very good.
Everyone is celebrating Mr. Mandela because he insisted on racial majority rule, even when the racial minority attempted to separate themselves physically into their own country, where they would be the majority.
But he insisted that his race had the right to claim that territory, populate it with people who looked like themselves, and then rule the racial minority by force.
The entire civil rights movement of the last 150 years in the United States has insisted just the opposite: that a racial minority has the right to have not just equal rights, but more rights to promote their status (affirmative action), and political power disproportionate to their numbers.
So Mr. Mandela was a stone Racist. His only interest was Black African hegemony not just where they were, but wherever they might go.
Even today they insist that no border or nation prevent their emigration into that country.
But of course they insist that “their” borders, and the entire continent of Africa, remain racially monotone, and politically tribal.
Africans Uber Alles, you might say. Black Supremacists.
That’s what Mandela was, and what the “new” South Africa is.
When one considers the crime and corruption rampant in South Africa since he and his ANC party came to power there,
I would have to honestly say that Nelson Mandela “took South Africa in the direction of Detroit”.
No doubt he was a Marxist-Leninist (Communist), just a peaceful one which many see as redeeming.
When he was released from prison everything was going his way, so it was easy at that point to back off from any violence that he and his associates like his ex-wife Winnie were involved in.
He’s in God’s hands now not ours. I’ll just have to let my feelings go and move on.
His service tomorrow will reveal who his friends were and those who loved him the most. Lets get some quotes from them for illumination.
