I am ashamed to have read some of the comments posted above. People on these threads constantly castigate leftists for their failure to act on their rhetoric. Carter, a man whose principles I generally deplore, showed courage and conviction in actually going to Sudan and actually confronting people who, I doubt not, fully support the murdering that has been taking place there for decades. That he is there at all puts him in a class not shared by 99.9999% of the rest of America including the “principled conservatives” on this thread.
Politics and ideology has a way of turning people into depraved loudmouths. I have fallen prey to this too many times in the past not to recognize it when I see it. It is far better to recognize that even enemies can display virtue and that their ideological stances do not make them evil, stupid or craven. They can be wrong on many things and still display courage or charity or any other virtue.
I would have to know which side he is on first. Historically, he is always on the wrong side.

Or extreme stupidity. This guy may actually be living
in an alternate moonbat reality.
But we can say with confidence:
Yes, John Kerry would not have done this.
“Carter, a man whose principles I generally deplore”
Peanutd—k was just looking for an anti-freedom, anti-Constitution, anti-American thug to surrender to. Eff him!
Thank-you Scory.
With Carter, one must question whether he is with the depraved murderers in Sudan, as his record of supporting the worst kind of 3rd World leaders cannot be questioned.
Your comments are on target though, and they need to be repeated more often.
FR used to be a place for intelligent discussion and crtical thinking (which generally landed us on the right side of the political spectrum).
Increasingly, it is a place for partisan bashing and not much more than that.
Granted, bashing and calling libs names is fun, I just wish that it would occur on appropriate threads for it.
Me too. I think Carter is the worst president we have ever had. He’s a moron and a communist and a supporter of dictators and murderers, but this is one of the few articles in which he wasn’t supporting murderers, indeed just the opposite. He was shouting them down. Very strange behavior for FReepers.
