Agree.....
I will never forget his grinning it up and gladhanding at Reagan’s funeral.
The Carter funeral will be a spectacle.
Two Bushes plus JEB!, the evil Clinton duo, not to mention the gay halfrican himself, Barry Soetero.
So Carter has finally done a good thing.
Drawn all of the actors responsible for everything that is wrong with the USA today to one place, to honor the guy who the started the meltdown in the Middle East, and right before the Primary season!
The Iranians may even release our hostages again in tribute.

Nothing good to say so I’ll say nothing.
CARTER’S ARAB FINANCIERS
The Washington Times - Wednesday, December 20, 2006
To understand what feeds former president Jimmy Carter’s anti-Israeli frenzy, look at his early links to Arab business.
Between 1976-1977, the Carter family peanut business received a bailout in the form of a $4.6 million, “poorly managed” and highly irregular loan from the National Bank of Georgia (NBG). According to a July 29, 1980 Jack Anderson expose in The Washington Post, the bank’s biggest borrower was Mr. Carter, and its chairman at that time was Mr. Carter’s confidant, and later his director of the Office of Management and Budget, Bert Lance.
At that time, Mr. Lance’s mismanagement of the NBG got him and the bank into trouble. Agha Hasan Abedi, the Pakistani founder of the Bank of Credit and Commerce International (BCCI), known as the bank “which would bribe God,” came to Mr. Lance’s rescue making him a $100,000-a-year consultant. Abedi then declared: “we would never talk about exploiting his relationship with the president.” Next, he introduced Mr. Lance to Saudi billionaire Gaith Pharaon, who fronted for BCCI and the Saudi royal family. In January 1978, Abedi paid off Mr. Lance’s $3.5 million debt to the NBG, and Pharaon secretly gained control over the bank.
Mr. Anderson wrote: “Of course, the Saudis remained discretely silent… kept quiet about Carter’s irregularities… [and] renegotiated the loan to Carter’s advantage.”
There is no evidence that the former president received direct payment from the Saudis. But “according to… the bank files, [it] renegotiated the repayment terms… savings… $60,000 for the Carter family… The President owned 62% of the business and therefore was the largest beneficiary.” Pharaon later contributed generously to the former president’s library and center.
When Mr. Lance introduced Mr. Carter to Abedi, the latter gave $500,000 to help the former president establish his center at Emory University. Later, Abedi contributed more than $10 million to Mr. Carter’s different projects. Even after BCCI was indicted — and convicted -— for drug money laundering, Mr. Carter accepted $1.5 million from Abedi, his “good friend.”
A quick survey of the major contributors to the Carter Center reveals hundreds of millions of dollars from Saudi and Gulf contributors. But it was BCCI that helped Mr. Carter established his center.
BCCI’s origins were primarily ideological. Abedi wanted the bank to reflect the supra-national Muslim credo and “the best bridge to help the world of Islam, and the best way to fight the evil influence of the Zionists.”
Shortly after assuming office, in March 1977, Mr. Carter made his first public statement regarding a Palestinian “homeland.” Since then, he has devoted much of his time to denouncing Israel’s self-defense against Palestinian terrorism, which he claims is not only “abominable oppression and persecution” of the Palestinians, but also damages U.S. interests in the region.
By the time BCCI was shut down in July1991, it operated in 73 countries with a deficit of $12 billion, which it had managed to hide with wealthy Arab shareholders and Western luminaries. Among them Sheikh Zayed bin Sultan al-Nahayan of Abu Dhabi, who gave hundreds of millions of dollars to Yasser Arafat and Palestinian terrorist groups, and who branded the United States: “our enemy number one”; Former head of Saudi foreign intelligence service, and King Faisal’s brother-in-law, Kamal Adham — who with another Saudi, the banker of the royal family, Khaled bin Mahfouz, staged BCCI’s attempt to illegally purchase the Washington-based First American bank, in the early 1980s.
True to its agenda, BCCI assisted in spreading and strengthening the Islamic message; they enabled Pakistan’s nuclear ambitions, and helped the Palestinian leadership to amass a $10 billion-plus fortune, used to further terrorist activities and to buy more influence in the West.
BCCI founders also supported the Islamic fundamentalist opposition to the Shah of Iran, and saw it as an opportunity to undermine Western influence in the Gulf. They assisted the revolution financially, reinforcing their position within the leadership of the Iranian revolution. Ironically, the success of that revolution cost Mr. Carter his presidency.
BCCI’s money also facilitated the Saudi agenda to force Israel to recognize Palestinians “rights,” convincing Egyptian president Anwar Sadat to sign the Camp David Accords in September 1978. Since then, Mr. Carter repeatedly provided legitimacy to Arafat’s corrupt regime, and now, like the Saudis, he even sides with homicidal Hamas as the “legitimate” representative of the Palestinian people.
In a recent interview with the Los Angeles Times, Mr. Carter again laid responsibility for U.S. bias against the destitute, depressed and (consequently) violent Palestinians on American policy makers’ helplessness, over the last 30 years, against the menacing tactics of the powerful American-Israel Political Action Committee (AIPAC).
However, it seems that AIPAC’s real fault was its failure to outdo the Saudi’s purchases of the former president’s loyalty. “There has not been any nation in the world that has been more cooperative than Saudi Arabia,” the New York Times quoted Mr. Carter June 1977, thus making the Saudis a major factor in U. S. foreign policy.
Evidently, the millions in Arab petrodollars feeding Mr. Carter’s global endeavors, often in conflict with U.S. government policies, also ensure his loyalty.
I wonder if the Democrat euthanasia crowd will say anything.
It’s unlikely he has obamacare and would have to face a death panel, so his chances for survival are probably fairly good.
Prayers for Mr. Carter and his family in this difficult time.
Your right. There are some people here are making really stupid remarks. THIS type of stuff only gives the other side ammo to demonize the conservatives. Folks need to quit confirming their stupidity by putting it in print.
My own personal cancer toll:
Three cousins and a fourth who is dying of throat cancer.
An aunt and uncle.
Several close friends.
I wouldn’t wish cancer on my worst enemy.
The instinct is to get mean here. People who suffer from dreaded diseases deserve sympathy. I remember, as a snot-nosed 20 year old kid, starting out as a Carter supporter. I was with the ‘don’t change horses in mid-stream’ crowd. But 1980 was a watershed year for me. That no-brained B-movie Hollywood actor slowly won me over with his common sense arguments. I voted against Carter (for Reagan, not Anderson), and have been a conservative ever since. Carter, as a man, has actually managed to get worse over the past 35 years, but I wish him and his family well in this, perhaps his last struggle.
God Bless his soul, I pray he is saved and even recovers.
I watched Barbara Walters interview Carter some time after his presidency. She asked him what is your biggest regret as President, his answer, that I was not a pro life President, he attempted to rationalize it but still acknowledged that it was a regret.
Well the regret never lasted, he apparently is just fine with the Democrat Party platform, is just fine with the removal opf God/Christ from the classroom/Public square
He is fine with homosexual marriage, recently he has said he thinks Jesus would be fine with gay marriage and some abortions
Apparently some believe you can be a Christian without Christ.
He has said terrible things about wonderful Christians thgat I admire.
I always seem to do this when a famous person gets sick or dies, so many want to re write history.
I pray he asks Jesus into his life. I read just the other day that he was actually a JW early in his life.
God Bless Jimmy
I can’t imagine the prognosis is very good - metastasized liver cancer in a 90 year old - but I will pray and hope that former President Carter beats it.
Whenever anyone of us beats cancer, I consider it a great big middle finger and a “bleep YOU!” on behalf of all of us against that awful disease.
But he did live long enough to see a presidency worse than his.
+1, Well played.
_____________
+2 that was a good one.
Wishing him best of health and luck for a speedy recovery as a fellow human being.
He was affected with stupidity a long time ago and it spread to every inch of his body already and still didn’t slow him down. I’m not worried.
It couldn't have spread far as that man was always a complete sphincter.
Bye, worm food. Wish the world had never known ya.

According to Zeke Emanuel one of the masterminds behind 0bamacare, we shouldn’t live past 75. If that’s the case Jimmah Carter is at least a decade and a half past his expiration date. Just sayin’
Carter signed the bill that allows me to make 500 gallons of beer for each person in my household per year. Thanks Jimmy!
None of us live forever. Either heart disease or cancer will take most of us. God speed Jimmy Carter.
