They missed a supporter of Rhodesia by a few years. Ronald Reagan had the 'nerve' to meet with Ian Smith. Too bad... the peanut farmer has a lot to answer for when he dies. Sinning in his heart is the least of them.
Carter was a simpleton sock puppet for the scumbag Democrats in Georgia until he, amazingly, was able to ride the Watergate backlash to become President of the United States in 1976. He was voted in by a public who, at that point, basically only wanted somebody they never heard of before.
Carter was utterly and completely clueless on anything political outside of Georgia. When it came to domestic policy, Carter did what the liberal scumbags who controlled Congress told him to do, and when it came to anything international, Carter did exactly what the scumbag Democrat/communist contingent in the State Department told him to do.
He really had little choice in these matters because he didn't know enough about anything to arrive at his own policy convictions, and so he followed the lead of the people he found himself surrounded by in the White House. And naturally, these people happened to be leftist Democrat scumbags.
Carter couldn't find Africa on a globe.
