I heard an audio clip on the radio this morning of him saying, “... this energy shortage is permanent...”. So, he was either a propagandist, a moron, or both.
I was age 10 to 14 during his term and not politically aware, so I don’t remember many details from those days.
Domestic issues such as the gas shortage, outrageous interest rates etc were part of the problem. The thing that sticks in my craw...and I was in my late 30’s at the time..was his sandbagging the Shah of Iran, a superb friend and ally of America. By undercutting him and ushering in the exiled islamic radicals, he DIRECTLY facilitated the current Iranian terrorist islamic regime. How much death and destruction did James E. Carter author by this treachery? The douche cited the Shah’s brutality toward his oppponents among other things. Well yeah...his opponents were the filth we’ve come to know as the likes of ISIS, moslem brotherhood, Taliban, Al Quada etc. The Shah’s Iran was very secular and westernized with women living as normal as they did in Europe. Carter ruined this. An Iranian woman who lived under the Shah called in to the Chris Plante show this morning and expressed her joy at Carter’s passing. Nuff said.
