Telegraph News ^ | 6/26/08

Posted on 06/28/2008 9:57:45 PM PDT by BlueSky194

Zimbabwe's once proud white farming community is facing extinction, as President Robert Mugabe steps up his campaign of violence and intimidation on all fronts. Virtually all of the remaining 280 white farmers have been invaded by government supporters since Mr Mugabe lost the first round of the presidential election in March.

Yep,good ol' smilin Jimmy backstabbed every decent person and nation he possibly could,and is still doing it.And he bestowed praise and goodwill upon murderous tyrants and is still doing that.

Jimmy Carter and the fools that supported him are responsible for unleashing the tide of misery that sweeps the world today.Jimmy Carter lead the way in enabling Ayatollah Khomeni's return to power ,and thus Iran's plunge into darkness.Jimmy Carter lead the way in isolating the not-perfect,but so much better than what they have now, governments of Rhodesia and South Africa.

I was going to congratulate you on your #25 as one of the best short summations of what's wrong that I've read, but I think it deserves repeating:

It isn't about race. It was never about race. It's about the ability of an evil, soulless band of punks and thugs to use race as a cover for ruining and expropriating everything that wasn't already theirs. It's about the credulity and stubborn stupidity of their Western enablers to cast it into terms that had everything to do with ideology and nothing whatever to do with fact. It's about two-bit academic fools fantasizing textbook rectitude while the landscape was being spattered with the blood of the innocent. It's about the complete and utter failure of international organizations to deal with a situation that falsified their world view. It's about idiots claiming social justice while children starve. It is everything that is wrong with Africa, with Europe, with the UN. That's what it's about.

“The former Bread Basket of Africa becomes another basket case of Africa.”

Indeed. It’s gone the way of South Africa, which had more murders than the United States, even though we have five times more people.

Where will 5,000,000 Whites go in 2012? Most of them are Afrikaners and they have no homeland. South Africa is their true home and they’ve been there foralmost 400 years.

What made you decide to join the fight in Rhodesia? Whites there were always severely outnumbered.

Of course. They have been there far longer than most blacks. Their ancestors developed a largely barren area into a prosperous, civilized nation. Everybody knows that. But the squeeze is on and the liberals, communists, and other activists have decided they are not welcome in their own country anymore, just as they decided the same in Rhodesia (now Zimbabwe). Oh well, what can you do? They better flee with what they can and find someplace new before they lose absolutely everything. "He who hesitates is lost."

Buh-bye, South Africa.

How sad. Afrikaners are really screwed. You have to remember they do not have a passport to an European nation unlike most of the British Africans who have already returned to the Island.

Well-off Afrikaners who could afford to leave already have done so. The poor Afrikaners are likely to fight to the death because no European nation would take them in since they are White and they do not really have the means to move to a place like America or Australia.

I daresay Jack Straw sleeps quite well.

Just as he will in Hades, no doubt.

Why are there still even White Farmers in Zimbabwe?

Someday, people will be asking: why are there still even White people in America, long since Chairman Obama became Saviour for life?
