You can also here his daily one minute radio speeches there. "A hard hitting slice of conservative thinking"

[Arthur Wildfire! March]

Permission was given to post this to promote his web site. I would like to add, George Caylor has an excellent conservative radio program. The only problem is that it's only one minute long and only heard on one or two radio stations. He calls his program "a hard hitting slice of conservative thinking". Indeed, it is. FReegards....

Mandela was sentenced to life in prison for murdering a policeman and several black magistrates.

Do you think he received a fair trial?

South African Crime Report

I think he may exaggerate how low the crime rate was earlier. Alan Paton's Cry, the Beloved Country, written in the 1940s, depicts urban crime as a major problem and something South African whites were already obsessed with. I believe Paton's widow left South Africa because of the crime problem (post-majority rule).

Funny, my wife recalls me telling her when Tutu got the peace prize, South Africa was "on its way" to oblivion.
Didn't take that long I guess.............SAD!

[eccentric]

Even Amnesty International said NOTHING about Mandela because he was justly tried and sentenced to life in prison. He was not mistreated by their standards....

[ChicagahAl]

"Mandela was sentenced to life in prison for murdering a policeman and several black magistrates." This is the first time I have heard this. All I have ever read before was that Mandela was jailed for being anti-apartheid. The American (or Anti-American) Media couldn't be honest and candid if their lives depended on it! Thanks for posting the truth. Now I know.

[SteveTuck]

he did...whats your point?

How do you know that he received a fair trial? Seems rather odd, since the white-minority government stripped blacks of all their political rights under apartheid.

Do you believe that Biko starved to death?

[SteveTuck]

Wrong. Amnesty International refused to recognize Mandela as a "prisoners of conscience" because of his decision to engage in a campaign of sabatoge against the white-minority government. Amnesty International will not grant "prisoners of conscience" status to anyone that uses nor advocates violence.

South Africa is now the “rape capital” of the world...

According to our own Jesse Jackson, South Africa is now “an international role model of what can be.

Sounds like a good place for Jesse and his friend Bill to visit frequently.

[SteveTuck]

I was there its was called the Rivonia trial and was watched by ever liberal group on the planet who all stated it was a fair trial...the charge was.. treason

Did you observe the trial? Did Mandela have the same rights that whites were afforded at that point in time?

Didn't think so...

As for Steve Biko I often find it amusing how so many Americans always try to defend communists...he was a terrorist sometimes stuff happens to bad guys

As an American, I believe that police should not beat prisoners to death. Silly me...

By the way, how would you have brought apartheid to an end if you were a black South African?

[SteveTuck]

Simple question -- Did you oppose apartheid? If so, how would you have brought apartheid to an end?

[SteveTuck]

which brought a long era of political stability and economic prosperity to South Africa.

Too bad the white-minority government stripped the blacks of all their political rights and eventually their citizenship.

By the way, you could make the same statement about the Soviet government.
