He's there for sure. Mandela and ol' bro' Malcolm X are having an eternal rape party in the flames with FDR's commie chick:

Nelson Mandela 1918-2013

By David Horowitz On December 6, 2013 In Daily Mailer,FrontPage

http://www.frontpagemag.com/2013/david-horowitz/nelson-mandela-1918-2013/print/

Mandela began as a terrorist and never turned his back on monsters like Arafat and Castro, whom he considered brothers in arms. When he was released from prison by deKlerk, he showed unexpected statesmanship, counseling reconciliation rather than revenge, no small achievement in a country in which the “liberation” movement (led by Mandela’s wife and party) placed oil filled inner tubes around the necks of former comrades and set them on fire.
But if a leader should be judged by his works, the country Mandela left behind is an indictment of his political career, not an achievement worthy of praise – let alone the unhinged adoration he is currently receiving across the political spectrum.

South Africa today is the murder capital of the world, a nation where a woman is raped every 30 seconds, often by AIDs carriers who go unpunished, and where whites are anything but the citizens of a democratic country which honors the principles of equality and freedom.
Liberated South Africa is one of those epic messes the Left created and promptly forgot about.

You can see the official statement on halfstaff.org. It is sickening to actually read the order to all federal properties to fly oil’ glory at half staff!! I mourn the fact that our president has no respect for THIS country or the people in it.
