Jimmy Carter Stands Up In Opposition To Keystone XL Pipeline

Former U.S. President Jimmy Carter joined nine other Nobel Peace Laureates in sending a strongly worded letter to President Obama and Secretary of State John Kerry, urging them not to approve construction of the Keystone XL Pipeline. The letter opened as follows:

"You stand on the brink of making a choice that will define your legacy on one of the greatest challenges humanity has ever faced – climate change. As you deliberate the Keystone XL tar sands pipeline, you are poised to make a decision that will signal either a dangerous commitment to the status quo, or bold leadership that will inspire millions counting on you to do the right thing for our shared climate. We stand with the 2,000,000 voices who submitted their comments in the national interest determination process rejecting the pipeline and ask you once again to stop Keystone XL."

old leftys seem to go a long time (Kennedys being the exception)

[Dr. Thorne]

If Jimmah opposes it, Keystone must be the best idea ever!

[null and void]

I saved it...

[RightGeek]

Sit down, Jimmy!

I can’t believe that this idiot is still costing Americans jobs and driving up the price of gasoline.

Why won’t he just go away?

[Stosh]

Even on their own terms they’re morons - the oil will still make it market and get burned, except it will travel by rail car, resulting in the consumption of even more hydrocarbons, and the generation of additional CO2.

Seems to me that if you are sure of your place in heaven you might be too arrogant to actually get there.

[blueplum]

Jimmah stood up? Good. He’s still breathing then. He can sit back down now and go back to worrying about the FBI reading his emails.

[Grams A]

We just can’t seem to get rid of this dingleberry out of the political scene.”

Why is it that former presidents who were Democrats just never seem to go away when they are no longer in office? Clinton and Carter both seem to think we really care about their opinion on issues.

With a little editing for length it makes a nifty tagline...

Though it be ZOTted, I will remember it always.

Thank you. I sometimes type what I really feel. This was one of those times.

And it’s gone...but not forgotten.

;D

[Kackikat]

I could give a rat’s rear what his opinion is. A man who failed at rescuing Americans on his watch.

[nothingnew]

Though it be ZOTted, I will remember it always.

Thanks. I want it to remembered. I try to not use profanity, but sometimes, somethings, or ill and wicked people, call for it.

I apologize to anyone that found it insulting, but I stand by my words.

"You stand on the brink of making a choice that will define your legacy on one of the greatest challenges humanity has ever faced – climate change.

Does FR Policy allow us to read past this idiotic sentence?

[aaCharley]

No President’s legacy will be defined by a pipeline.

Carter is now, and always has been, a shallow man with no vision.

Jimmy's mind in his late years is becoming less functional. If it were not for adult diapers, he would really have a problem. About the only thought processes he can manage are things that are deeply ingrained, such as his wife Rosalynn's name and how to peel a peanut. Other than completing a sentence, he can still manage a few Marxist thoughts that come in the bitter utterances of a senile old man.

Ole Jimmuh!
