There should be no links to American Free Press at Free Republic.

Sorry, won’t happen again, in my zeal to make a point, I overlooked it, again Sorry.

Heh, heh, I agree!

If my destination is more than a two day drive, I don’t go.

My brother and his wife went to South Africa. I have a cute picture of the two of them being licked by cheetah cubs.

Having just completed my third trip to South Africa (my first two having been in the early 80's) I can report at least one undeniable fact.Our "base of operations" (when we weren't at Kruger National Park) was a nice hotel in a suburb of Johannesburg called Sandton.It's a rather prosperous area (there was a Roll Royce dealership 100 yards from our front door),reminiscent,to me at least,of Palos Verdes Estates in suburban LA (a very ritzy area).

Every building there had gates and huge signs saying things like "warning;electrified fence".It reminded me of an armed camp but instead of beat up Toyota pickups you saw BMW convertibles (it was summer when we were there).

Mandela. Another black steeped in mythology that is far from reality. He ran the nation on a platform of revenge.

If we were smart, we would have backed Mandela’s opposition, Chief Buthelezi.

If I could afford it, I think a safari to Namibia would be great. I lived in Ethiopia for a short time, so I’ve had the “African experience”, and I’m certain a Namibia could beat Ethiopia by a mile.

When the Boers took over the southern part of South Africa, the Bantu speaking black people were colonising the northern part, pushing out the Khoi-san race of people.

If the Apartheid-era people had any sense, they would have created two states - a white-khoisan-coloured-Indian group in the south and a Xhosa-Zulu-coloured one in the north.

Not true. The Boers, Indians etc. are very smart with lots of modern skills, talents and intelligence

I had never heard of that online website. I just glanced at it and ctrl+F "Jew" and it has 4 insanity "blame the joos" articles.

It is an anti-Jewish garbage site. Thanks for pointing it out

He was Christian, and pro-Capitalism.

I have hunted in South Africa and would be packing my bags (in case Hillary wins) but for the miserable political state of the country. Even many Afrikaners have got one foot out the door.

Too bad the "Solomonic" Ethiopian imperial family was left-wing and supported the leftist, secularist "civil rights" movements all over the world (probably still do).

What was up with that, huh?
