He supported legalized abortion.
He supported sodomite "marriage".
He supported a ban on "assault" weapons.
He was against the death penalty.
He believed it was fine to have women pastors.
He supported Obamacare.
He supported Kamala Harris.
He had an inflation rate of 14% in 1980, with a Fed Funds rate of 19%.
He's dead. January 9th will be like any other day. No mourning. No remembrance. No gas lines, thankfully.
There seems to be an inverse relationship between what a politician accomplished and the official hoopla over his funeral. This reminds me of McCain’s body being dragged all over the country, lying in State at the Capitol and seemingly endless tribute funerals. Jimmy Carter was a nasty incompetent - just why will he be one of six Presidents to merit a state funeral?
He instigated the fall of the Shah of Iran and the loss of Iran as a western ally. He was a friend of Arafat. He was no friend to Israel. His terror supporting policies led to decades of murder and misery in the Middle East. Not a good man. A dreadful president.
I recall him bolstering South American dictators, just can’t recall the details.
And there was this stupidity:
“...the Queen Mother later wrote about the unpleasant encounter, noting how she had seen Carter leaning in for a kiss and had unsuccessfully tried to dodge him.
‘Nobody has done that since my husband died,’ she later said. ‘I took a sharp step backwards – not quite far enough.’
The Queen Mother’s husband, King George VI, died in 1952, meaning Carter had been the first man to kiss her on the lips in 25 years. He was also likely the last.”
Seriously, what man thinks it is appropriate to kiss a strange woman on the lips (unless a major war has just ended) - let alone the QUEEN MOTHER?
You left one out.
FEMA was officially created in 1979 through an executive order by President Jimmy Carter.
He hated Israel.
He was a kick-ass Sunday School teacher, too. 🙄
He made Cardigan fashionable. You wore it while shivering in the dark cursing Carter.
