Don’t insult Jimmy Castor like that. He was a much better man than Carter.

>>for generations of hip-hoppers<<

“Hip-Hop”=”Rap”=”Kill Whitey”

At BEST it is just syncopated speaking, like Maynard G. Krebs on Helium.

The only reason it has lasted 20 years is that grunge was too melodic for people with attitudes and no taste and needed an outlet.

He is on a bunch of Death Pools — we need to work on how we will celebrate, uh I mean show appropriate respect for the family, when he passes.

In actuality, he wasn’t evil, like BJ and barry. He was just clueless and THAT led to evil having open season, leading to the Iran Hostage Crisis and then a direct line to 9/11.

Carter IS an evil fool. He calls Israel an apartheid system while he sucks off Saudis who have a TRUE apartheid nation with separate highway exists for muslims and non-muslims. Wouldn’t want to enter one of the segregated cities that can lead to getting your head chopped off.

They burn seized bibles. Wouldn’t want to permit any tolerance for a non-Islamic faith in that country.

The wars we see today are a result of Carter’s foreign policy failings. And Obama is even more successful in pushing the Islamists into power through revoluition.
