The Carter Administration-WORST ADMIN EVER......
Bookmark for later reading.
Another liberal gets mugged.
The ugliness of Zimbabwe is kept quiet because of limited internet access. Mugabe bans foreign reporters and harrasses his own.
Who knows how many opponents have been quietly killed with no one knowing or too afraid to tell?
People are starving to death there and have in the last several years but there’s no media allowed in like Darfur.
We get a shadow of the ugliness that is “Zimbabwe” and nothing that Ian Smith ever did could ever be compared to what’s happened with Mugabe.
I don't feel the least bit sorry for Cathy Buckle. She voted for this thug and now she's getting what she voted for. And she's getting it good and hard.

This could be our fate if Hillary or Obama ever become President!
Yeah, but she meant well.
I haven't read any such acknowledgments.
Perhaps they are hoping for a Sean Penn visit.
Someone used to post her whinings on FR.
Are there any countries which didn’t suffer a decreased standard of living after escaping from Brittish colonialism? (Obviously USA is an example. Let me qualify my question by adding “after 1850”)
The word DEMOCRACY has become a holy word.. to leftists and those influenced by them.. A democracy always has been MOB Rule by mobsters and is the source for socialism.. Democracy is the social political disease that causes socialism..
Whats missing in this story is all the liberal leftist white farmers that AIDED Robert Mugabe in his rise to power.. Many of those that have not been murdered already are still there.. Just deserts one might say.. their cries of oppression should go on deaf ears..
I think it was Clive. Accordingly I've pinged him to the thread.

In the event of a revolution the people of Zimbabwe don’t have to worry about a new leader even worse than the one they have. Mugabe is as bad as it gets.
Venezuala is headed down the same path. Watch Chavez squander the wealth of that nation.
As another poster has already noted, that’s the same path Hillary or Obama would lead us down.
Ian Smith’s government declared independence in 1965.
This mess happens consistently when social and political theory insist that the only way to progress to an imaginary future is to kill the occupants of the present. In theory farmers may be replaced easily, in practice they may not. In theory the rich may be plundered and their wealth redistributed and the economy will improve, in practice it does not. In theory justice may be obtained by tearing down oppressive class structures, in practice it merely transfers that oppression into the hands of a new elite and intensifies it. In theory the state withers away once the power is taken from the hands controlling it, in practice it grows under new management.
It is the stubborn refusal of social and political theorists on the Left to admit that the predicted outcomes have not taken place and that the fault is within their theories, that has produced this factory of misery. By their works do ye know them, and their propensity for deflecting blame is wearing a little thin.
Zimbabwe: What liberalism will bring to America.
Indeed, Cathy Buckle has gotten precisely the government she wished for, and now she doesn’t like how it’s behaving. Sorry, Cathy, you should have thought things through a bit better.
From the bread basket of africa to the hand basket of africa.
I disagree. The ugliness of Zimbabwe is kept quiet by the liberal media, which is loathe to criticize a racist black communist.
