Mugabe the Pol Pot of Africa. Some 1st world nations should assemble a super secret 100 man hit squad to swoop down in Zim and just kill this demon. Don't make a big deal about it. Just do it

"Where are the fine New Zealand liberals who carried the banners so bravely those years ago and literally went to the barricades for Mandela, asks Suburban Newspapers consulting editor Pat Booth following the death of white Zimbabwean farmer Terry Ford?"

Suffering from an attack of selective memory as befits loyal members of the Party. The Party is always right. Oceania has always been at war with Eastasia.

Liberals have no memory of past Party mistakes. The thought cannot be conceived. Their minds have been permanently rewired. In the words of George Orwell:

Take for example the well-known passage from the Declaration of Independence:

"We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their creator with certain inalienable rights, that among these are life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among men, deriving their powers from the consent of the governed. That whenever any form of Government becomes destructive of those ends, it is the right of the People to alter or abolish it, and to institute new Government. . .

It would have been quite impossible to render this into Newspeak while keeping to the sense of the original. The nearest one could come to doing so would be to swallow the whole passage up in the single word crimethink.

Get with the program, fellas.

Again, I ask: Where are the fine New Zealand liberals who carried the banners so bravely those years ago and literally went to the barricades for Mandela, for the oppressed and beaten blacks and coloureds of apartheid South Africa? Why are they silent? Is there some form of unrecognised racism?

If white people don't belong in Africa, do black people belong in Europe?

Perhaps the New Zealanders with balls were lost at Gallipoli in WWI and in the desert in WWII?

Of course conservatives still defer to the Left when it comes to morality, don't ask about the lumpen soccer-momese they are truly deficient in logic, but I suspect that soon a conservative or two will start to realize that liberal morality plays are nothing but a mask for evil.

Sabina Mugabe, the president's eldest sister.

Well, Mugabe is 78. That makes his sister older.

So much for the sociological theory that criminals eventually outgrow their criminality.
