Obama, like Mandella, is turning a perfectly good country into a landfill.

So any bets on whether Obama will attend the funeral? I bet he doesn’t.

Everyone in South Africa will “belong to the ages” once the jihad starts there — with Obama’s support and blessing. Thanks Biggirl.

"Saint" Mandela? Not So Fast! -- He's a Communist, Terrorist, and a Liar.

Nelson Mandela 'proven' to be a member of the Communist Party after decades of denial.

This all sounds a little too familiar. . Now Mandella will be 'enshrined' by the MSM for a week and the pressure is off Obama with Obamacare, IRS scandal, Benghazi and the 88 other scandals.

Nelson Mandela is a creation of the world wide media. He was thug and the fruit of his practices is a stain on the world. Look at South Africa it is a disgrace.

With the Christian faith growing bigtime in Africa, jihad will slow down bigtime.

True. Some people, though, heard Stanton's comment as "Now he belongs to the angels." More.
