A few years ago I paid $24,000 for two beers at a hotel near Victoria Falls. No one knew what to charge for anything. No one could make change. Workers could not cash their pay checks and were forced to leave the full amount wherever they went to buy even a small needed item. Seems that hyperinflation in Zimbabwe now like Nazi Germany times, where wheelbarrows were needed to bring the money for a loaf of bread.

This ruthless dictator is what the supporters of socialism bring to this world. In the U.S. they call themselves "progressives." Left to their own devices this is what they bring to countries they take over. The nationalizing of the farms and stealing them from whites has led Africa's properous bread basket to become an empty basket with maize now unaffordable for making bread and thus a starving population. All because of a failed system called Communism.

The irony is so thick you can cut it with a Long Knife!

Mugabe fancies himself "a Hitler", and boasts of the comparison. His late right-hand man went by the monicker "Hitler" Hunzvi.

Looks like he's signed on for the full treatment. Maybe we should all chip in and buy him a bunker.

And the leftist shield to such criticisms is to call "everyone a dictator" including President Bush.

Socialists REALLY need to get out more and visit these countries that they praise.

Post-WWI hyperinflation helped bring the Nazis to power. Billion Mark notes were a relic from the days of the Weimar Republic, not of Adolf Hitler.
