The Real Jimmy Carter

Posted on 05/14/2004 8:10:59 PM PDT by truthfinder9

Dear Concerned Conservative:

Recently I read an interview with former President Jimmy Carter in which Carter boldly implied that if you were Christian, Republican, white and male you must somehow look at others as "inferior" or even "subhuman."

I was enraged! Make no mistake, I was never a fan of Jimmy Carter. He has said and done some outrageous things, but this takes the cake. That is why I was relieved to read the much-needed book by Steven F. Hayward titled "The Real Jimmy Carter."

Just as some left-wing historians are taking a "fresh look" at Carter’s disastrous presidency and trying to bamboozle Americans into thinking that it was actually successful, Hayward reveals this is part of a larger strategy to whitewash the records of failed Democrats and justify Carter's influence on today’s Democratic Party.

The "Real Jimmy Carter" demolishes the Carter myth once and for all.

Hayward knows a real leader when he sees one (he’s the author of The Age of Reagan, 1964-1980 and Churchill on Leadership) and in this book -- which you can get FREE with a risk-free subscription to HUMAN EVENTS -- Hayward provides a wealth of devastating new information that proves that Carter is one of the worst American leaders in history.

Steven F. Hayward reveals:

• How Carter’s political persona amounts to little more than an odd combination of Machiavelli and Mr. Rogers

• Carter as a politician: his habits of exaggeration, disingenuousness, and outright deception -- bely his claim to occupy the moral high ground

• The Clinton Administration: how it became Carter’s virtual second term, despite Slick Willie's disdain for Carter

• Why Carter, the self-titled liberal moralist, once declared that "Lester Maddox is the embodiment of the Democratic Party" and "George Wallace and I are in agreement on most issues"

• Why the national media ignored Carter’s race-baiting and made him one of the darlings of the Democratic Party in the early 1970s

• Abortion: how Carter's position on this issue vividly displays his ability to stand on both sides of an issue

• President Carter’s foreign policy: "McGovernism without McGovern"

• The Carter executive order that Barry Goldwater blasted as "the most disgraceful thing a President has ever done"

• Global 2000: the doom-and-gloom study that Carter released shortly before leaving the presidency -- how most of its predictions have turned out to be wildly wrong

• Why the Carter Administration believed that the Cold War strategy of containment was no longer necessary

• How Carter made direct contacts with Soviet officials to try to subvert President Reagan's anti-Communist policies

• Revealed: the shocking extent of Carter's clandestine efforts to sabotage the first Gulf War in 1990

• Carter's Nobel Prize: how a Nobel official inadvertently revealed that it was actually meant as a slap in the face of the American people

Hayward demonstrates again and again that Jimmy Carter’s failures weren’t just accidents of history. They’re rooted in the character and ideology of the man himself. This wouldn’t concern anyone today, except for the fact that Carter continues to insert himself in the nation’s business...both at home and around the world. But "The Real Jimmy Carter" proves that the Emperor from Plains has no clothes -- and never had.

No doubt, he will declare himself superior to God, shortly after assuming room temp. He's THAT inferior.

Where can I find this interview, I'd like to read it?

An old southern physician remarked that "Jimmy" would prove to be a disgrace to the South, was little different than a Communist, and would be a disaster. As in many other things, he proved to be correct.

PS He said this when Possum Man (the only pol with more teeth than a Possum) was just beginning to make noises about running. Given his foresight, 'tis pity I didn't ask for a stock tip.

Imagine how different the world might be today if Carter had supported the Shah of Iran instead of letting him be taken down by fanatics. Carter was a bungling fool as President.

"The two worst presidents in recent history, Lyndon Banes Johnson, and Jimmy Carter."

. . .of course, when it comes to 'worst' and 'recent'; there are three.

I think our problems with the Mideast today can be traced back to Carter. Totally spineless buffoon refused to even stand up to the Iranians.

When he was President, and for several years after, the press kept painting him as just too nice of a guy, etc. etc. But people who truly follow these things knew differently. Carter was a mean and vicious little man. As he starts to believe the legacy that is being rewritten about him, his true nature is emerging.

Your analysis is completely wrong!

Carter tried to shake the Shah down for $$$ for his cronies and beholden donors...Shah said no, so Carter destroyed an ally in the volatile Middle East because he didn't get the $$$!

He KNEW what he was doing...and he DID it with no regard to thge future...hell, he was a BIG fan of Arafat, and got him $$$ when the WORLD had turned it's back on the Terrorists! Make no mistake, that SOB is Klinton WITHOUT the velcro fly! The only "bungling" was designed to make him look "human"!

Evil has a face, and it's FUILL of teeth, and MOSTLY votes (D)!

So he didn't bungle it? He did it on purpose? Could be. In any case the fact remains that the Shah fell on Carter's watch. Don't you think things would be different (better) today if the Shah had remained in power?

No, we see that Carter himself is INFERIOR - the worst president we ever had.

Many of us dreaded the Iranian hostage crisis as a mere foretaste of the terrorism that we felt was in the simmering stage during his Godforsaken presidency!

In fact, some of us were certain that by the end of the twentieth century, taking into consideration the rapid advancement of computer and weapons technology, the United States of America would be confronted in even more dangerous and direct fashion by the Islamo-fascists and their 'progressive humanist' sympathizers within our country, even to the point that they would wage open warfare on our soil! Alas, we were taken to be alarmists who watched too many low-quality action movies.

Why doesn't Carter just stick with his work (excellent work) with such groups as Habitat for Humanity, and go back to peanut farming, and just admit his ignorance on subjects such as terrorism and racism on which he is so utterly incompetent?
