He’s a Brit and an academic: you’ve got to give him credit for having developed the clarity he has at any point.

James Earl Obama! (or is it Barack Hussein Carter?) Either way, it’s awful...

The one positive thing to come out of the Jimmy Carter era. Reagan Democrats. Up to Jimmy Carter my family were solid Democrats. Conservative Democrats, but Democrats. My Dad and Mom, and all five of us kids, though we were to young to vote.

We could not stand what we were seeing from Carter, and Reagan changed what we thought of the Republican party. Up until that time we just had Nixon and Ford as examples.

Thanks to Carter failure, Reagan success, and a few years later this “Rush” guy on the radio we tuned into, we all became solid Republicans, and Tea Party activist.

It just gets better. President Nine-Iron will be in Rio de Janeiro next week, you know...making speeches, taking in the sights, consuming millions of taxpayer dollars in extra security for him and his family, trying to get the face on that statue in the harbor replaced with his own...

That is disturbing on so many levels. And now, as a ransom he's demanding of the taxpayers three tri-ll-i-on dollars!!!!

Except Carter didn’t have the Al Sharptons, the Jesse Jacksons, and the Black Panthers to enforce his regime. That’s what has me concerned for 2012.

I knew I had missed some replies to you and just searched to find them. I had a sick spell and then a very bad spell with my computer. It would go everywhere except Free Republic!! I’ll never understand that but I worked on it two days and am able to get here anyway.

I owe you a letter - big time, lol.
