Did the white settlers "take the land" in the 1800's, or did they just start to cultivate land where there were only nomadic tribes?

You wouldn't want to be sitting in Mugabe's dining room with him holding a sharp knife and a fork, his chef standing behind him whispering in his ear, nothing on the table except a large empty platter, and you overhearing the words 'medium rare' and 'a little flavoring'

I'm sorry, but I don't understand why any of these M F'ers are still walking around breathing. I'm serious.

Can't someone furnish a quotation for a 500 lb JDAM dropped on this guy's keister from a suitable altitude?

The problem is reliance on corn, he said during Friday's interview, "but it doesn't mean we haven't other things to eat: We have heaps of potatoes but people are not potato eaters ... they have rice but they're not as attracted (to that)."

Mugabe continued,"There is much to eat for those who are not finicky. People refuse to eat rats, grubs, dust, gravel, bark, or feces although these too are plenty. Even the flesh of dead neighbors is shunned by these ingrates.

Hey MSM? The heck with Barbara Bush, THIS is the "Let them eat cake" remark you've been looking for.

Robert Mugabe, a hero to "progressives" everywhere. And a first-rate asshat.

...but said he'll remain in politics until he dies.

Even if it is tomorrow, Zim has been nearly ruined at this devil's hand. [spit]

The 'Corn' (con) which is to blame for the famine is dictator Robert Commie Mugabe.

Some call him a hero? How could even the most deluded leftist call this mass murderer a hero? Surely not even david cornhole would call mugabe a "hero".

A large fraction of the land used by large commercial farms is unsuited to subsistence agriculture. It requires irrigation, fertilization, and pesticide control.
