34 Months vs. 444 Days: There Jimmy Carter Goes Again, Blaming America for His Failures
RobertTracinski.com ^ | 06/28/2004 | Robert Tracinski

Those looking for "a virtually unbroken series of mistakes and miscalculations" might be tempted to remember, not the past 32 months, but the 444 days of the Iran hostage crisis, when Carter stood passive and paralyzed, his only attempt at action ending in a pathetically under-supported, doomed rescue mission. If one were to look for a moment at which America lost credibility and respect in the world, this would be it.

I have never been able to understand Jimmy Carter's support of the ultra-liberals in his party, given that he is a Christian, and a Sunday School Teacher...a man that knows the Bible quite well..everything the libs in his party stand for, are quite the opposite of Christian teachings...also, not a very successful president..I also noted he was sitting next to Michael Moore the other night at the convention...I'm sure they had a "nice" visit.

Just my opinion...
But when I heard Ron Reagan make his blast about politicians using religion
as a prop...my first thought was of Carter, Bill Clinton and other Democrats
who identify as Christians.

Only the Highest can judge, but for a lot of the Democratic Christians
the term "phony" comes to mind.

yeah...especially when Clinton was seen striding out of church with his Bible under his arm...and yes, Carter made no secret that he was a Christian...but let Dubya say anything about his faith, he's criticised by all the libs!

It was Carter that made me a conservative. I left home to run my own household in 1977, and I couldn't get a job, couldn't buy a house, and couldn't afford rapidly rising groceries.

His "malaise" speech will live in my memories, also. Us selfish Americans. Egads. Reagan swept in like a god. It was morning in America again.

We made a big mistake when the Iranians took the hostages. It should have been made clear to them that same day that unless our folks were on a plane at 0800 the next morning, Iran would cease to exist as a country. Then followed through. The Mahometan filth don't understand anything but death and destruction.
