The article is from August 1st. Frum's article was written today and reflects some more recent backing down on earlier comments while recognizing the political situation is fluid.

Ok? It doesn't change the ANC's intent to transfer land from Whites to Blacks one way or another. Again, I'm not sure I really care that much if they do or don't, but I hope for the country's sake they have a good system in place that ensures productivity doesn't decline. South Africa's population is increasing pretty quickly, but their GDP isn't keeping pace so they're going to need people who can produce food to support the population.

Just make sure to get the Boors exterminated and the rest will all fall into place. I'd suggest appointing EAllusion as UN press secretary to report on the situation as Winnie Mandela's dirty work is carried to completion.
And when the confederates saw Jackson standing fearless as a stone wall the army of Northern Virginia took courage and drove the federal army off their land.

Not even going to acknowledge that this whole line of conversation started from you believing and sharing a fake story of white farmers being murdered in mass to redistribute land? Also, I think you mean Boer...

Out of curiosity, let's say you were appointed as President for Life as South Africa, and you decided to accept the position, what would you do with the country?

I don't, really. I do derive entertainment in messing with him, though.

Wait... I just answered a curiosity question. I take it all back. Please forget my answer.

And I refuse to answer rhetorical questions, while I'm at it. I mean, do we really need rhetorical questions?
