Rhodesia Marks 30 Years Of Communist Occupation
The Right Perspective ^ | April 21, 2010 | Peter Goodman

Last Sunday marked 30 years of Communist rule of Rhodesia, which was renamed Zimbabwe after being taken over.

At a public ceremony marking the occasion, Marxist dictator Robert Mugabe, responsible for the wholesale slaughter of Matabele tribesmen who opposed his rule and the racist eviction of Whites from their farming homelands, called on his subjects to “foster an environment of tolerance.”

Mugabe then announced he would continue with a new program whose objective is to steal White-owned businesses and hand them over to Black Zimbabweans.

Rhodesia, a first-world country that produced its own television sets and was “the Breadbasket of Africa,” has hit these points since being taken over and renamed Zimbabwe 30 years ago:

Inflation reached 231 million percent a year in July 2008 before the country stopped announcing figures...

Once the breadbasket of southern Africa, Zimbabwe now needs to import maize...Unemployment has been estimated at over 90 percent.

Why do these rat-bastard dictators live forever? Mugabe should be long dead.

“called on his subjects to “foster an environment of tolerance.”

You gotta admire the chutzpah...120 million dead at their hands and still preaching brotherhood and tolerance. I’m surprised at nothing anymore from the American left...they have joined with these murdering savages completely.

Isn't the question, then, how "Rhodesia" became "Zimbabwe"?

Are humans just naturally drawn to doing that which results in their own demise?

Chutzpah?? I thought Zero owned chutzpah. Always talking about race and bipartisanship and fostering NONE of what he speaks. He is the most divisive WH occupier in our history. He has presided over the destruction of the most wealth of any President. Mugabe doesn't have anything over Zero. And Zero is just getting started.
