"But who was the cretin who persuaded our president to give this unreformed and successful terrorist a medal? "

Can you say, Black Votes?

Mandela, a communist, who prescided over the economic dismanteling of South Africa. In his lifetime, Mandela was coddled by the left/socialist elements throughout the World and held up as a reformer. Those who lived in Mandela's lifetime lived in a society that was fraught with terror from people like spouse and her minions, by redistribution of the wealth, and a low rate of reinvestment - the lack of reinvestment in the capitalist means of production was the one thing so often overlooked by the 20th and 21st Century Socialists who advocated Workers Rights.

Mandella deserves a medal....

Shoved far up where the sun never shines.

[joesnuffy]

Meanwhile Mandelas posse was hanging
Michelin medals of tyre and setting them on fire
arround the necks of natives of his homeland

He have done the same to whites
but even he knew this would turn the free world against him
so he and his lovely bride Winney had to settle
for the torture burning of blacks
who hated Mandela's Marxist ways

Maybe we sided with the wrong folks on this one....look at Rhodesia...look at South Africa. Lot's of social "progress" going on in both those places.
