The problem is that our educational system and media have basically made a “Saint” out of Mandela. And as a result, saying anything negative about Mandela would be tantamount to political suicide.
I don’t like it at all, but there it is.
Exactly.
I’m not a liberal and not launching a jihad over a harmless comment that I don’t agree with. Outrage for the sake of outrage serves no purpose.
Is Cruz off the A list now?
/sarc (kind of)
Hufpoo called, they’re missing an idiot.
So the RINOs think. But the 2010 shellacking still happened for a reason.
Nailed it in a big way!
Seems it infested (infected?) some Freepers here too....
“It’s a small thing. I prefer them to stand up on issues that really matter. Nelson Mandella doesn’t.”
I agree. What I get from this article is that the writer can’t fathom the idea of a political party where not every member marches in lock-step, where individual opinions can be freely voiced and disagreements allowed to stand.
I’ll proudly take these sorts of disagreements over the unison-voting-block collective drone mentality of the Left any day of the week.
It would have been better if Cruz had not said anything...but it didn’t seem pandering to me.
Never did I think I would see our nation go along with the world in the near worship of this man, but we live in the age where the truth has become a lie and the lie has become the truth.
I will never vote for anyone that has anything good to say about the commie!
Mandela has been turned into the international version of MLK Jr. It’s taboo to criticize either one.
Wouldn't it make a lot more sense to train Democrats to think like Republicans??
What harm do a few gracious words cause? There is time for that and time for fighting. And things worth fighting for.
The next GOP President should open the US and grant asylum for all white and or Christians who are being persecuted.
‘Amen, amen.
I would’ve preferred that my Sen Cruz had kept quiet on Mandela’s passing....like Sarah has.’
CORRECT JANEY...DONT THESE BIRDS SEE THAT THIS STUFF PLAYS RIGHT INTO THE LIB’S HANDS? ...THEY HAND THE LIB’S HAMMERS TO BEAT THEMSELVES WITH....IT NEVER OCCURED TO THEM THAT THIS STUFF WOULD ALIENATE THE BASE?....PSSSST NEXT TIME SEND A SYMPATHY CARD OR SOME TELEFLORA CREATION YOU DOLTS!....JEEEESH.
Yup. That’s the picture I always remember when I think of the guy.
Joe Slovo, the idiot trash standing next to him, repaid his non-native nation (he was a refugee from Lithuania) by becoming one of the most vicious Communists in Africa and working relentlessly to destroy the place.
Real gratitude that.
No point in trashing Winnie. Everyone knows about her...and even he had to walk away from that.
Mandela. Sniveling commie to the nth degree. World needs none of that.
Better to keep one’s mouth shut than praise evil.
Mandela was evil.
MLK was just corrupt.
With you on that. On another thread someone was bitching
about GWB chiming in on Mandela’s death. Big deal. Bush
could have just been playing defense and wants to be
left alone by an MSM that hated and still hates him.
Had he stayed quiet some libtardnewsturd would probably
call him on it sooner or later.
exactly. their evil far outweighs any secular, relativistic ‘good’ they may be credited with.
