Hillary Clinton and the Radical Left [Excerpt] It is this same idea that is found in the Social Gospel which impressed the youthful Hillary Clinton at the United Methodist Church in Park Ridge, Illinois. She later encountered the same idea in the New Left at Yale and in the Venceremos Brigade in Communist Cuba, and in the writings of the New Leftist who introduced her to the "politics of meaning" even after she had become America's First Lady. It is the idea that drives her comrades in the Children's Defense Fund, the National Organization for Women, the Al Sharpton House of Justice and the other progressive causes which for that reason still look to her as a political leader.

For these self-appointed social redeemers, the goal-"social justice"-is not about rectifying particular injustices, which would be practical and modest, and therefore conservative. Their crusade is about rectifying injustice in the very order of things. "Social Justice" for them is about a world reborn, a world in which prejudice and violence are absent, in which everyone is equal and equally advantaged and without fundamentally conflicting desires. It is a world that could only come into being through a re-structuring of human nature and of society itself.

Even though they are too prudent and self-protective to name this future anymore, the post-Communist left still passionately believes it possible. But it is a world that has never existed and never will. Moreover, as the gulags and graveyards of the last century attest, to attempt the impossible is to invite the catastrophic in the world we know. [End Excerpt]

*****The same disease has even affected the churches, where some of them have become conduits to perpetuate ZANU PF's message of oppression. Some church leaders have deserted the pulpit and can be seen gracing ZANU PF occasions. They have become the voices of oppression and, to make it worse, they are using God's name in vain. Such church leaders cannot even condemn state-sponsored brutality against its own citizens because they are now dining and wining with the ruling elite.

It is high time that Christians and congregations chase away pastors, reverends and priests who bless and speak well of the state-sponsored evil being encouraged by Zimbabwe's ruling class. Men of God who grace ZANU PF occasions for their own selfish ends should be chased away from the churches.

These are indeed abnormal times when so-called men of God turn out to be supporters of such devilish acts as being perpetrated by the state today. It is time that right-thinking Zimbabwean Christians say "to hell with these fake men of God who preach the word according to ZANU PF".***
