When you consider the damage he did during his inept presidency, I find it hard to believe they actually gave him this honor.

[John123]

I haaaaaaave sinned...in my heart. (Sob. Sniffle.)

I think that depends on what the meaning of lust is.

[Dustbunny]

Ditto's to that.

Well said !!

Bill Clinton (expert grammarian and lexicographer):

Now, if you're using lust as a verbal form, that's one thing. Then again, it all hinges on whether you're using the intransitive form of the verb. And if you're not using it to refer to another pronoun...well then that's a whole different story. Now, when I "ministering" to the needs of Monica Lewinsky...

Bill Clinton (expert grammarian and lexicographer):

Very nice. Perhaps you can change the above to:

Bill Clinton (Lying weasel convicted of perjury and obstruction):

That is a malicious falsehood perpetrated by Ken Starr's attack dogs! I have three news clippings from 'The New York Times' to prove my case. Now, if you'd just read article...

U.S.S. MALAISE

[sharktrager]

Even the White House web page refers to him as Jimmy, which I guess is what he prefers.

I don't think you should honor someone and use a name they don't care for to do it.

[Republic If You Can Keep It]

This was going to be his day. And as it turned out, on that very day...once again, he got overshadowed by our man Ron

So true.

And just desserts!

The 20th Century's worst president overshadowed by its best.

Unfortunately, the Clinton defenders have a sticky problem, Clinton pleaded guilty to the charges of perjury and obstruction.

I thought the tapping exercises had happened beforehand

Now to be completely fair, Jimmy Carter served honorably in the Navy. So if they want to salute his service, far be it from me to express objections

I agree. I am not a Jimmy Carter fan, I, am however a fan of the office of the Presidency. I am also a huge military fan.

I have read on other sites (which shall remain unnamed), and I have been appalled at the attitude of the liberals and the glee they feel at the death of President Ronald Reagan, and I refuse to sink to that level.

I agree with one poster that stated they felt sorry for Jimmy Carter once again being upstaged by Ronald Reagan, and I had to chuckle. It was so true. I think we all have to remember that no matter how much we disagree with any policies of any past President (including Clinton), that they were all elected to the greatest position in the US and the World, The President of the United States, and for that fact alone, they deserve our respect.

"......but it sounds so stupid and informal to be put on a yet-to-be-commissioned United States Ship."

Fully in keeping with Jimmy's administration and post administration behavior.........STUPID.

Semper Fi

Respect which Carter himself has not shown by being the only President not to issue a statement on the death of Ronald Reagan.

[river rat]

".....and for that fact alone, they deserve our respect."

I disagree.
The nation's "respect" was shown to the person by electing them to the office of President...

While IN OFFICE, respect must be shown to the office of the President..

Once that service has been completed, the person is entitled to no more respect than they earned while serving in that post..

Example: Clinton.
Do you still respect that self centered, corrupt, weak kneed, traitorous POS?

Carter as President was a total failure, with no grasp or vision.....and he led us into the "malaise" of the late 70's.

Semper Fi

[MeekOneGOP]

So what's the deal ?? Jimmah Cahtah can't take 15 seconds of
his time to say something about Ronald Reagan's passing ?

What an egotistical Arse he is !!

[codercpc]

I agree in full, I wrote this before I saw the post about him not issuing a statement, but I still stand by my conviction that the Office of The President deserves my respect, and the people that hold that office.

I will never accept Clintons disrespect of the office,or Carters incompetency, but I still recognize them as President. I hope this makes sense. And I think that in some ways both men do deserve some sort of recognition.

[Dog Gone]

It does make some sense. And I can't imagine anyone other than Jimmy Carter who doesn't share that same sense. Even Bill Clinton, a person who defiled the Oval Office with Monica, knows better.

Hey Pukin Dog, looks like you made another safe trap. LOL
