Grand Gala As Nelson Mandela Turns 90 - I Don’t Care
QUNU, South Africa—Songs, laughter, teasing and tender words marked Nelson Mandela’s 90th birthday celebration Saturday as presidents, village elders and African royalty joined him for a festive luncheon on his rural homestead.
The Nobel Peace Prize winner celebrated privately with his family in this rural southeastern village Friday, the day he turned 90. Saturday was a grand occasion, held in a tent outside his homestead in Qunu, 600 miles south of Johannesburg, where as a boy he herded cattle in the hills.
George Bizos, a lawyer who defended Mandela and other anti-apartheid leaders during the era of white rule, urged young and old to try and understand what his old friend stood for.
“It’s the solution to the problems that are facing the country, facing the continent, facing the world,” he said.

Ya think he’ll finally give President Reagan credit for his efforts (constructive engagement)to end apartheid and free this ingrate?
I don’t think.

July 19th, 2008 at 4:21 pmGlorifying another Marxist, I see what a bang up success South Africa has been post-Apartheid, since Mandela and Mbeki have had the run of the place. Mandela is more palatable Mugabe the leftists dressed up for the West.

They are on the verge of losing the Soccer World Cup, a major injection of capital investment for the country, because of what a stellar place it has become.
July 19th, 2008 at 4:26 pmMandalla stood for Marxism, but he was such an affable old buffoon that when he was given power, he settled for a whimpy form of socialism that has all but destroyed South Africa. I don’t think following him is solution to anything except prosperity… that is converting prosperity into poverty.
July 19th, 2008 at 4:29 pmWho cares. Mandella ruined SA. He’s a Nobel nothing, just like manbearpig.

July 19th, 2008 at 7:22 pmI walked by a booth at a street fair today, trying to raise money for Zimbabwe peasants or something. I didn’t even bother talking to them. But if I did, I would have asked, “Since you murdered Rhodesia, what right do you have to complain about living with the rotting corpse?”
