Interesting.
I thought it must be a misspelling of boars or even bores, but no, it’s really Boers in Georgia.
I am disappoint. Not only are they really Boers, but it's the other Georgia as well!
Felix Unger was right: when you "assume," you make an "ass" out of "u" and "me."
Everyone who takes a safety course knows that farming is in the top few most dangerous occupations.
With Mandela 93 and ill, it’s only a matter of time for white South Africans. The ANC is only holding off expropriating the mines and seizing the farms out of respect for Mandela and the vision of a united and fair South Africa. All hell is about to break out.
I have been reading The Great Boer War by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle. He relates when the war started the British were contemptuous of the Boer burghers, saying they were a surly and slouching bunch, looking like strange grotesque figures, walnut brown, and shaggy bearded in their scruff coats and hats. But he said the Boer’s marksmanship with the Mauser rifle soon changed that attitude. At the early battle of Nicholson’s Nek, the British on the hill were lounging relaxed watching the Boers advancing from over a thousand yards away, when the Boers opened with rifle fire from that distance. The bullets hit right in their midst, slapping and pinging off the rocks, the dull thump when they found a human target and the men began dropping.
The British found the marksmanship of the Boers almost incredible and officers quickly learned to not distinguish themselves by dress or action when in contact with the enemy.
We could use some good Boers in KY, they make great Afrikaan Americans!

Well if they get a bunch of Boer farmers maybe they will put a little steel in the spine of the Georgian armed forces.
The South Africans make damn fine soldiers , they also don’t have any love for communism.
I’d like to know where the Economist got the figure of 3,000 white farmed killed in So. Africa since 1994. I know that scores, if not hundreds have been killed or wounded in Zimbabwe, but “3000” is one helluva figure and no major neww coverage of it.
DOes anyone know a reliable source for this?
Isn’t Georgia cosiderably colder than South Africa?
If we continue on the same path we’re on today, what happened in South Africa WILL happen here, folks.
Mark my words.
They may as well wake up to reality. The day of the white man in Africa is over. Any temporary measures or agreements with the government for their protection will eventually fail.
They should make whatever deal they can with the government to purchase their land and get out.
It doesn’t matter that they have roots in S. Africa going back several hundred years. They are stil viewed as interlopers and are in danger. The huge disparity between a well-to-do minority of whites and a poor black majority will eventually end the uneasy peace between the races.
