Those liberals are cheap and dirty. You offer your services and not only they make you work for food, but you have to sleep 3 nights with George Soros to graduate.</description>

		<description>&lt;blockquote&gt;Well at least they are open and honest about it. You gotta give them credit for that.

It’s not like here in America where voters intimidation is rampant and then later denied.

I’ve seen Black people posing like White people, wearing blond wigs and bleaching their skin.

&lt;blockquote&gt;The cleanliness, the beauty, the quiet, peacefulness of this capital city is a testament to the leadership of President Robert Mugabe, Minister Louis Farrakhan told reporters as well as Muslims here Jan. 8.&lt;/blockquote&gt;

And

&lt;blockquote&gt;&quot;The leaders of this country, in winning a war and coming to power, showed the kind of heart that they had, that was not a heart of vengeance or a heart of evil against the whites,&quot; Minister Farrakhan said when asked about the controversial plan of President Robert Mugabe to confiscate 1,500 commercial farms owned by white settlers, to be transferred to Black owners.&lt;/blockquote&gt;</description>

I had 3 comments. Which one you mean? Be specific.

Usually people should have an IQ of at least 200 to get my comments. But I&#039;ll take whatever I get. People are not perfect like me.</description>

		<description>&lt;blockquote&gt;Mugabe wants to burn Zimbabwe to the ground in order to maintain his grip on power.  Mbeki thus far has stood by the dictator and kept the international community on the sidelines to allow him to do it.  When Zimbabwe finally rids itself of Mugabe, one way or the other, Mbeki and South Africa will have to answer to their neighbors for their gutlessness and complicity.&lt;/blockquote&gt;

Unfortunately Ed, they won&#039;t.

The only time anyone mentions Africa, both left or right is when some tinpot dictator starts sawing people&#039;s arms off. The UN appointed the monster Mugabe to the economic development council (I&#039;m surprised he didn&#039;t get on the human rights council as well).

Africa is a hopeless place filled with despots and angry thugs. The singsong life they display for the cameras in the US and Europe is a farce. Most of the citizens live in abject poverty precisely because Africa&#039;s leaders have never changed in substance or style.

Trust an African in power to sell his own people into slavery for a quick buck. That&#039;s how they placated the Arabs and the Europeans. That an African &quot;leader&quot; in power still treats his fellow men as if they are slaves whose lives are to be discarded in a fruitless tribal war or sold off as labor to the highest bidder to fund such a campaign is indicative of why Africa remains a gutter continent.

Africa is a poor continent with no leadership. It makes you want to cry (or alternatuvely, rage) just knowing that most of Africa lives in abject poverty solely because for every 100 nice, friendly smiles there is an 101st man who hates his tribe and his enemies alike and is willing to sell them off or send them to death for his own personal gain.

Normal people in Africa aren&#039;t especially stupid. Unfortunately they are too trusting, especially to people they view as their brother. In contrast, despots in Africa are especially cruel, and return kindness with murder and labor with slavery. Even Africans who have been &quot;civilized&quot; by European dominion still have fits of the African despot, as seen with Mbeki.

At the end of the day, no one cares about Africa because its tragic story isn&#039;t a new one. When you hear of tyranny going on in Africa, what is honestly your first thought. Maybe to the PC polluted mind it might be &quot;those poor people, lets hold a protest.&quot;

Maybe it&#039;s just me, but my first thought is: &quot;so what else is new?&quot;</description>

Is your commentary meant to be amusing? Maybe one has to be a Paulnut to get it.

Moving on -

We can thank the Left for Mugabe&#039;s rise to power in the first place, and &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.orthodoxytoday.org/articles7/TooleyMugabe.php&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;The World Council of Churches&#039; role&lt;/a&gt; is an absolute disgrace. 

&lt;blockquote&gt;Many leftist-led Western church groups did considerably more for Mugabe than simply stand in solidarity. Starting in the late 1960,&#039;s, the Geneva-based World Council of Churches (WCC) began funding Mugabe&#039;s ZANU guerrilla insurrection in then white-controlled Rhodesia. In 1974, Anglican bishops in Rhodesia observed with &quot;disgust&quot; that the WCC had granted 6000 pounds to ZANU. Pointing to ZANU&#039;s terrorism aimed at both white and black civilians, the bishops lamented: &quot;Far and away the majority of these have been Africans, innocent of any offense and most have been killed with great brutality. Others have been abducted, raped, beaten and disfigured.&quot;

By the late 1970&#039;s, Rhodesia&#039;s white minority regime was negotiating with the non-violent black opposition for a bi-racial democracy.&lt;strong&gt; But the WCC and other leftist Western church groups sided with the Marxist guerrilla movements, like Mugabe&#039;s ZANU, over more moderate and non-violent black opposition parties. &lt;/strong&gt;In 1978, the WCC granted $85,000 to ZANU. Methodist Bishop Abel Muzorewa was elected in 1979 as Zimbabwe-Rhodesia&#039;s first black prime minister. &lt;strong&gt;But even agencies of the United Methodist Church preferred Mugabe&#039;s Marxist guerrillas to their own bishop.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;</description>

<p>Is your commentary meant to be amusing? Maybe one has to be a Paulnut to get it.</p>
<p>Moving on -</p>
<p>We can thank the Left for Mugabe&#8217;s rise to power in the first place, and <a href="http://www.orthodoxytoday.org/articles7/TooleyMugabe.php" rel="nofollow">The World Council of Churches&#8217; role</a> is an absolute disgrace. </p>
<blockquote><p>Many leftist-led Western church groups did considerably more for Mugabe than simply stand in solidarity. Starting in the late 1960,&#8217;s, the Geneva-based World Council of Churches (WCC) began funding Mugabe&#8217;s ZANU guerrilla insurrection in then white-controlled Rhodesia. In 1974, Anglican bishops in Rhodesia observed with &#8220;disgust&#8221; that the WCC had granted 6000 pounds to ZANU. Pointing to ZANU&#8217;s terrorism aimed at both white and black civilians, the bishops lamented: &#8220;Far and away the majority of these have been Africans, innocent of any offense and most have been killed with great brutality. Others have been abducted, raped, beaten and disfigured.&#8221;</p>

		<description>One more thing.

Where is Jimmy Boy Carter? I thought he would&#039;ve been already there supporting Mugabe.

Exit question: 

Has anyone seen Dick Cheney lately?</description>

		<description>And what&#039;s up with that guy&#039;s arms and hands? How this voter will be intimidated when he won&#039;t be able to vote. This is bull.

&lt;blockquote&gt;Mugabe wants to burn Zimbabwe to the ground in order to maintain his grip on power. &lt;/blockquote&gt;

Well at least he won&#039;t eat his people like Idi Amin did. You also have you give him credit for that.

The good thing that is coming out of this Zimbabwe story that we&#039;re following here is : I don&#039;t care!

Unless it&#039;s a breading ground for Muslim terrorists, unless it has 30% of our oil imports, I don&#039;t give a rat&#039;s ass.</description>

		<description>&lt;blockquote&gt;Zimbabwe’s “war veterans” militia plan to intimidate voters by posing as police officers during the presidential run-off, a policeman has told the BBC.&lt;/blockquote&gt;

Well at least they are open and honest about it. You gotta give them credit for that.

It&#039;s not like here in America where voters intimidation is rampant and then later denied. 

I&#039;ve seen Black people posing like White people, wearing blond wigs and bleaching their skin.</description>
