I've read these posts as a lurker for awhile..... I was wondering where is Frank/Bob/William/Sam/Albert (insert male name) Buckle? Why is she staying? Is there a "resistance" movement or did everybody just say, "screw this, I'm gone."?

I think back to Winston Churchill's quote "If you will not fight for the right when you can easily win without bloodshed,

if you will not fight when victory will be sure and not so costly, you may come to the moment when you will have to fight with all the odds against you and only a precarious chance of survival.

There may be a worse case. You may have to fight when there is no chance of victory, because it is better to perish than to live as slaves."

This is the crux of socialism vs. freedom. Socialists believe "death" is the greatest evil. They would rather "live" in slavery, or have everyone else live in slavery, than take the chance that they might die. These are people with no sense of reality or or truth.

Supposedly, her husband left Zim to seek work and never came back - they are divorced. She appears to be too stupid to leave herself.

Every Cathy Buckle post needs to point out (see #12) that both she and her husband were big supporters of black rule and of mugabe.

When reading about her troubles, just remember to save your sympathy for the Zimbabweans who didn't help the thugs come to power.

There is political resistance to mugabe, but they're probably just as corrupt as he is. The ones who could have both resisted him and improved conditions there (the native whites), are almost entirely gone, thanks to Jimmy Carter and liberals like the Buckles.
