Ian Douglas Smith, former prime minister of Rhodesia (now Zimbabwe); gone but not forgotten. Via Mike Watson Happy Birthday IDS! You would have been 95 on 8th April 2014. Ian Douglas Smith: Pushing people forward simply because of their colour, irrespective of merit, would be most unfortunate and would of course lead to disaster. It would mean that Rhodesia would then develop into a kind of banana republic where the country would in no time be bankrupt. To those who say derogatory things about colonialism, I would say colonialism is a wonderful thing. It spread civilization to Africa. Before it they had no written language, no wheel as we know it, no schools, no hospitals, not even normal clothing. Let me say it again. I dont believe in black majority rule ever in Rhodesia, not in a thousand years. (...often misquoted [by the lying liberal media] as saying never in 1000 years will there be... but this [former quote] is what he actually said.) What a great man he was.
