Jimmy Carter – a national disgrace

In the history of any nation there are high and low points. There are events and people that make the nation proud or, frankly, cause it shame and embarrassment. I, for years, felt one of our proudest moments was Ronald Wilson Reagan telling Gorbachev, ''Tear down this wall.''

I always thought the shame of slavery would forever be our low point. That was right up until Jimmy Carter took office in 1977 and again last week when he spewed his hate-filled venom against his country and its president in Der Spiegel magazine. Jimmy, you are a disgrace to our nation.

The byline of the article read: ''Former U.S. president speaks with Der Spiegel about the danger posed to American values by George W. Bush, the difficult situation in the Middle East and Cuba's ailing Fidel Castro.'' Carter should have been front and center condemning such a headline. In any other time, with any other president, this would have been unheard of, but not from the new voices coming from the Bush-haters in the Democratic Party. Al Gore does it. Howard Dean does it. Maxine Waters does it. But that doesn't make it right. Jimmy Carter has allowed partisan attacks to escalate to dangerous levels.

So, I thought a stroll down memory lane would be appropriate. In the mid-1970s, Jimmy Carter, a fine peanut farmer from Plains, Georgia, ran for the highest office in the land and won. Congratulations Jimmy. Jimmy Carter appeared not to be your garden-variety politician and the country welcomed his down-home country approach. Within a year however, the welcome wore off. Carter's legacy is now inextricably linked to the ''Misery Index.'' No president in the history of the country had a Misery Index as high as Jimmy Carter's.

He talks about how he was troubled by the celebrations of Cuban exiles in Miami on the news of Castro's illness. Of course, he has no problem with the Arab world rejoicing in the streets when 3,000 innocent Americans died on Sept. 11. Of course not!

Ah, Carter...

The Democrats Messianic Figurine, able to forgo logic and common sense for the great good of the Party.

Jimmy Carter: The Untold Story

The posterboy{old git} of what is destroying the demoratic party.Rove is behind this im sure! sarc.

Jimmuh, where all this sh** began.

[IrishMike]

I am, however, a big fan of my country. I believe in America and its goodness. I believe in the American people who make it work. So when I see an ex-president who is not qualified to run a five and dime offer his opinion to the world abouthow it is worse off due to the United States, it p - - - - - me off.

Jimmy Carter and Mike Wallace are shining examples of why forced retirement makes sense for anyone over the age of 80. Obviously, at that point in life, if you have experienced rejection, you become rather bitter. And while you are entitled to be bitter, it should not be at the expense of good, honest, hardworking folks who believe in their nation. So Jimmy, don't go away mad. Just go away.

Jimmy is quoted in the interview as saying: ''I don't think Israel has any moral justification for their massive bombing of the entire nation of Lebanon. What happened is that Israel is holding almost 10,000 prisoners, so when the militants in Lebanon or in Gaza take one or two soldiers, Israel looks upon this as a justification for an attack on the civilian population of Lebanon and the Gaza. I do not think that is justified, no.''

Is this guy serious? Militants take one or two soldiers? This guy needs meds, a straightjacket and a rubber room ASAP. Israel was attacked by Hezbollah, Jimmy. A terrorist organization. They came across a sovereign border and killed eight Israelis soldiers and kidnapped two others. That, in anybody's book but a whacked out liberal appeaser, is an open act of war. Is Jimmy suggesting that if someone in America is kidnapped they can be traded for all the murderers on death row? The prisoners in Israeli jails have committed crimes, Jimmy. They are not there for sport. They are suicide bombers who failed. Terrorists who have killed innocent people. I guess in Jimmy's world one man's terrorist is another man's militant. This guy is dangerous. Talk about immoral thinking. Apparently that type of thinking comes from the Carter Center. America bad. Israel Bad. Militant good.

Carter's like any other looser. He has to try to make others look bad in an attempt to elevate himself.

This is an song we sang in grade school (sang to the Oscar Meyer bologna commercial). The song was first popular after the economic malaise set in but tt really took off during the Iranian "hostage crisis", long gasoline lines, and Nicaragua:

---

Oh my President has a first name; it's J I M M Y
And he has a second name that's C A R T E R
Oh I love to sing this every day
and if you ask why then I will say
cuz Jimmy Carter has a way
of screwing up the USA


The older kids used stronger explitives in the song which caused us to laugh harder.

Oh, come on... The man's brother gave the world "Billy Beer"... Personally, I thought that alone would've given him a second term? /sarcasm

What a putz!

[Aussiebabe]

Poll -- Is Jimmy Carter:

1) the worst USA living ex-President

2) the worst USA President of our life-time

3) the worst USA President ever

4) all of the above

[Brilliant]

I would not call him a "national" disgrace. He's more of a disgrace to the Democratic Party.

[IrishMike]

I'd have to go with...

4) all of the above
