Yesterday morning, the world watched as Liberals, Communists and Former U.S. President George W. Bush spoke at the Funeral of Former South African President and Leader of the bloody ANR, Nelson Mandela.
The 44th President of the United States, Barack Hussein Obama was welcomed as a “True Son of Africa” and after receiving thunderous applause for a rain-soaked crowd of 35,000 South Africans, preceded to lecture…err…eulogize the late Communist Leader.
Mandela showed us the power of action; of taking risks on behalf of our ideals. Perhaps Madiba was right that he inherited, “a proud rebelliousness, a stubborn sense of fairness” from his father. And we know he shared with millions of black and colored South Africans the anger born of, “a thousand slights, a thousand indignities, a thousand unremembered moments…a desire to fight the system that imprisoned my people,” he said.
But like other early giants of the ANC — the Sisulus and Tambos — Madiba disciplined his anger and channeled his desire to fight into organization, and platforms, and strategies for action, so men and women could stand up for their God-given dignity. Moreover, he accepted the consequences of his actions, knowing that standing up to powerful interests and injustice carries a price. “I have fought against white domination and I have fought against black domination. I’ve cherished the ideal of a democratic and free society in which all persons live together in harmony and [with] equal opportunities. It is an ideal which I hope to live for and to achieve. But if needs be, it is an ideal for which I am prepared to die.” (Applause.)
Mandela taught us the power of action, but he also taught us the power of ideas; the importance of reason and arguments; the need to study not only those who you agree with, but also those who you don’t agree with. He understood that ideas cannot be contained by prison walls, or extinguished by a sniper’s bullet. He turned his trial into an indictment of apartheid because of his eloquence and his passion, but also because of his training as an advocate. He used decades in prison to sharpen his arguments, but also to spread his thirst for knowledge to others in the movement. And he learned the language and the customs of his oppressor so that one day he might better convey to them how their own freedom depend upon his. (Applause.)
Mandela demonstrated that action and ideas are not enough. No matter how right, they must be chiseled into law and institutions. He was practical, testing his beliefs against the hard surface of circumstance and history. On core principles he was unyielding, which is why he could rebuff offers of unconditional release, reminding the Apartheid regime that “prisoners cannot enter into contracts.”
Actually, Mandela’s early release hinged on him renouncing all violence, which he refused to do….as victims of he and his wife’s favorite execution method of “necklacing” would attest to…if they were still here to do so.
Anyway, do you know how much the Obama’s attendance at Mandela’s Funeral cost us, boys and girls?
$5,000,000 of OUR MONEY was spent for Scooter and Mooch’s little jaunt, during which he shook the hand of Cuban President Raul Castro, another Marxist Leader who is running his country straight into the ground, continuing the mission of his brother Fidel.
And, as you saw by the picture in the upper left corner of today’s blog, he used this solemn occasion to pose for a “selfie” with the beautiful Blonde Prime Minister of Denmark, and the Liberal Prime Minister of the United Kingdom, David Cameron.
That’s a torqued-off Michelle Obama, sitting in the background. Whether she’s P.O’ed about the inappropriate “Selfie” or the pretty blonde, I don’t know.
Although, knowing her usual disposition, it’s probably both.
As the late, great American Patriot and America’s Clown Prince, Red Skelton used to say, speaking about his wife, in an aside to the audience,
I’m not saying she’s mean…but, where she spits…grass never grows again.
Most Americans, in a moment that will never come again, had the same reaction to Obama’s stupid stunt as Mooch did.
And, guess what, the rest of the world agrees with us.
In a story about the inappropriate self-aggrandizement by the Manchurian President, the Denmark Dish, and Scooter’s bud Cameron, the London Daily Mail asks,
Is this REALLY time to take a selfie, Dave?
So, in the spirit of that question, allow me to ask what Obama’s MSM Lackeys won’t…
Does your Family Tree not fork, Barry?
As if the entire world was not laughing at us already for being stupid enough for electing a lightweight like you twice, now you have to act like a 14 year-old stuck in a church service he did not want to attend.
I swear, Scooter.
You must think “decorum” is something Mooch’s Staff does to a room in the White House and “class” is something you skipped in Hawaii to go chooming with your buds.
You are an embarrassment. A President of the United States is supposed to represent his country with dignity at a State Funeral.
Not act like he is hanging out with his fellow 9th Graders at the local Chicago Pizzeria.
Yesterday, Comedian and Political Observer Dennis Miller quipped,
“Obama is a Selfie”.
He is right. And, a dangerous, immature, petulant “Selfie” at that.
Until He Comes,
KJ

These people who have been given such awesome power here in the USA show their classlessness and utter contempt for the United States on a daily basis, and this stupid selfie with the PMs from Denmark and Great Britain, then Michelle inserting herself in between, are simply further pieces of evidence that we have elected a man into office of President of the USA who is immature, a failure, and without any shred of honor, class, or dignity. GOD help this country!!!!
