It’s old news that Jimmy Carter believes Jesus would support gay marriage and some abortion. But Fox News? Well, Carter doesn’t like that.
Earlier this week, NY Times reporter Philip Galanes sat down for lunch with the former president and black author Jacqueline Woodson to discuss issues of race and religion, including the confederate flag, black-white relations and same-sex marriage.
Galanes pointed out that both Carter and Woodson went “door to door” as Christian missionaries when they were younger. Woodson went as a Jehovah’s Witness, but no longer practices.
Galanes understood. “They’re not so hot on gay and lesbian issues,” he posited.
“But I still consider myself a Christian,” Woodson – who is lesbian – responded. “I deeply believe in many Christian values: love people; do the right thing; know that there’s good in everyone, that God’s looking out for all of us.” Sounds like Woodson is picking and choosing what parts of Christianity she likes.

Fortunately for the US and the world the peanut farmer from Plains didn’t get a second term in 1980 thanks to Ronald Reagan.
Ah, Memory Lane!
I was 16 when Carter took office. *SPIT*
My folks had an 18% Mortgage on our home. Credit Cards (they had ONE!) were 22% interest.
Gasoline? WHEN you could get it, you had to wait in long lines for it.
Electric and natural gas bills through the roof!
My folks both worked, but I know they were hanging on by their fingernails. Sis was still in High School; I graduated early and joined the Army BECAUSE THERE WERE NO JOBS and Uncle Sam would help me pay for a USEFUL college degree. (Note that I did not say, ‘College Education,’ or ‘College Experience,’ LOL!)
We ate a LOT of Mac-n-Cheese and hot dogs. I mean, it’s not like we were starving to death, but we certainly were NOT getting ahead or THRIVING.
Now why does that seem so familiar, 39 years later?
Ronaldus Magnus was the first President I was old enough to vote for. And I never looked back...though I am STILL looking for another Reagan.
Going on 40 years, now...
That’s why he was re-elected. What...?
A BIG FU TO YOU JIMMY
Oh, yeah. I’m still an expert at deciphering Hollerith code.
Card says, “FReep You Jimmy Carter!!”
The Onion cant do better than this.
And somehow you still sucked a$$, Jimmy.
““I deeply believe in many Christian values:”
You need to believe in one thing, Jesus Christ as Son of God sent to die for your sins. Be loving and kind is moot if you do not believe. Believing also entails followings His Word.
Yup. If Fox had been around, his presidency would have been a failure.
In 1984 my wife and I bought our first house at a 13% interest rate, and that was the cheaper VA rate.
It took Reagan a few years to turn it around, but turn it around, he did.
Typed on an IBM 029 Keypunch Machine, no doubt.
Jimmah is finally right about something, had Fox News been around he may well not have served his full four incompetent years.
But does it have superscript “th” anywhere?
Didn’t need a Fox exposé to show that you were ineffectual, Jim.
Yeah, in those days, even the left-wing media hated you!
Think of it this way, Jimmy: your approval rating back then had nowhere to go but up. So FoxN couldn’t have hurt you too much.

It does! It does! :)
