“If there is a
country that has committed unspeakable atrocities in the world, it is the United States of America .”
— Nelson Mandela, Jan. 29, 2003
Nelson Mandela, the
former terrorist-turned-compromiser and the so-called “father of democracy” who
served as president of South Africa ,
hated America .
But progressive liberals loved him — none more so than President Barack Obama,
who ordered that flags at the White House and all Federal buildings fly at
half-staff through Monday, following Mandela’s death last Thursday at age 95.
But that was only the start.
Obama, like so many
black celebrities and members of the white media, has personalized his
relationship with Mandela beyond all reason: “He no longer belongs to us; he
belongs to the ages,” Obama said upon learning of Mandela’s death. The President
added, “We will not likely see the likes of Nelson Mandela again.”
