He’s a fine one to talk about tragedy of leadership./s
"Members of Congress, ours are not Western values, they are the universal values of the human spirit. And anywhere, any time ordinary people are given the chance to choose, the choice is the same: freedom, not tyranny; democracy, not dictatorship; the rule of law, not the rule of the secret police."
"So America must listen as well as lead. But, members of Congress, don't ever apologize for your values.
Tell the world why you're proud of America. Tell them when the Star-Spangled Banner starts, Americans get to their feet, Hispanics, Irish, Italians, Central Europeans, East Europeans, Jews, Muslims, white, Asian, black, those who go back to the early settlers and those whose English is the same as some New York cab drivers I've dealt with, but whose sons and daughters could run for this Congress. Tell them why Americans, one and all, stand upright and respectful. Not because some state official told them to, but because whatever race, color, class or creed they are, being American means being free. That's why they're proud."

Mr. Cartier from Welcome Back?
Unbelievable how no one ever swings back at the cowardly Carter, a petty cheap shot artist who was overwhelmingly rejected by the American people.
Carter is pathetic.
Current Freeper calls Carter’s continued consumption of oxygen a major tragedy.
Carter’s entire public life has been, and continues to be, a tragedy.
Follow-up headline: “Americans apologize to world for having once elected Jimmy Carter”
Hell, the Peanut started the whole Muzzie Mess when he helped dump the Shah. This was all predicted—check the WSJ Editorials of the day.
You’re only saying that because....it true.
I can only imagine what a joy it was to serve on a sub with him as Capt.
I didn’t even have to read the article to know it was Carter.
Carter is a sort of ‘reverse barometer’ of what makes sense. Anything that he says can be depended on to be the opposite of what a rational conclusion on examination of the facts would be.
I dimly recall that he was right about something once recently- provoking a lot of ‘stopped clock’ comments, but whatever it was- it was so buried by the usual nonsense that it doesn’t count.
I sometimes wonder if he’s adopted contrarianism as a sort of personal motif; ‘What kind of crap can I say today, that’ll drive them ballistic’?
Sad to think that someday this little fart is going to deserve the same send-off that Ronald Reagan got.
why do they let that ossified old goat speak. I am sure SOROS is using this alzheimer’s patient.
He may have been a decent naval officer. It wasn’t until after he got into ‘rat politics that he became insane.
I don't know- Reagan's send off was quietly attended by huge, well-behaved crowds. Some of them were pretty recognizable names, and they were conspicuous by not pulling that 'do you know who I am' head-of-the-line stuff.
I can't see Jimmuh's mob being so numerous or well-behaved.
...and was NOT President from 1981 to 1985, because he refused to stand up to nationalized terrorism from the Muslim world.
A failure as president criticizes a prime minister, president, and country, all in one felt swoop.
Is this kinda like a congress, with a 28% approval rating, expressing a lack of confidence in Attny. General Gonzales?
