An Ol’ Broad’s Ramblings
Where’s Jimmah?
I would have thought the former Weasel in Chief would have been all over the Zimbabwe situation. Isn’t he the biggest fan of murderers and thugs? I must say, I’m a little disappointed in him. (insert sarcasm)
Zimbabwe isn’t the only example, but it’s a good one. After Britain, the former colonial authority in Rhodesia helped peel power away from Ian Smith’s rebel white regime, and Robert Mugabe governed for a time with some success. Then he decided to become president for life. Autocracy descended, as did hunger and imprisonment. He seized the productive farmlands of the country’s then-numerous whites. Racial mythology protected him. He was black and, as the New York Times called him this week, “a revered liberation hero.” The whites were, well, white.
Leave it to the Slimes to “revere” a murderous thug.
