Noble sentiment, but it'll never get off the ground.

Treason is a resume enhancement for a dim.

Knollenberg said the Carter Center has received about $19 million in taxpayer funds since 2001.

I am sure Carter’s Saudi supporters can make up this paultery sum out of pocket change.

But at least Carter would get the message that his meddling in international affairs is not acceptable or welcome.

Why couldn’t Carter fade away into the woodwork like most former Presidents?

(Because he has an ego the size of a gas giant, and is operating under the belief that his “failure” to win the election of 1980 doesn’t mean he still can’t be President For Life like his buddy in Venezuela.)

Here the west has been trying to build up moderate Muslim leaders in the Middle-East, even going so far as to conduct a five year war in Iraq, with over 4,000 killed, and Jimmy hops on his wooden pony to give hugs and kisses to the leaders of Hamas.

Hamas is an especially tough organization to discredit in the Middle-East. It pays off people, supplies food and other supplies and is kind of a red cross organization for the Palestinians. This makes it very tough for the U.S. to portray them as evil. It has taken a long time to move the Palestinians away from Hamas. It seems to be working in the West Bank. Even if we do have a bad situation, and it is simply terrible over there, the West Bank is somewhat better than it was.

There, working our asses off for decades we have made progress. Hamas is viewed with some suspicion on the West Bank. And then Carter comes in trotting along yelling gedi-up gedi-up, and grants status to Hamas in a one trick pony show under the big top.

Carter isn't as dumb as we think. He's a saboteur, plain and simple.

I wish Georgia would refuse to let him back into the state. He's a complete embarrassment.

----------------------------

A no brainer. IMO Carter appears to be in violation of the Logan Act, as well as multiple pieces of legislation dealing with foreign terrorist organizations.

Text of the Logan Act

§ 953. Private correspondence with foreign governments.

Any citizen of the United States, wherever he may be, who, without authority of the United States, directly or indirectly commences or carries on any correspondence or intercourse with any foreign government or any officer or agent thereof, with intent to influence the measures or conduct of any foreign government or of any officer or agent thereof, in relation to any disputes or controversies with the United States, or to defeat the measures of the United States, shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than three years, or both.

This section shall not abridge the right of a citizen to apply himself, or his agent, to any foreign government, or the agents thereof, for redress of any injury which he may have sustained from such government or any of its agents or subjects.

1 Stat. 613, January 30, 1799, codified at 18 U.S.C. § 953 (2004).

----------

US State Dept-Foreign Terrorist Organizations

Legal Ramifications of Designation

It is unlawful for a person in the United States or subject to the jurisdiction of the United States to knowingly provide "material support or resources" to a designated FTO. (The term "material support or resources" is defined in 18 U.S.C. § 2339A(b)(1) as " any property, tangible or intangible, or service, including currency or monetary instruments or financial securities, financial services, lodging, training, expert advice or assistance, safehouses, false documentation or identification, communications equipment, facilities, weapons, lethal substances, explosives, personnel (1 or more individuals who maybe or include oneself), and transportation, except medicine or religious materials.” 18 U.S.C. § 2339A(b)(2) provides that for these purposes “the term ‘training’ means instruction or teaching designed to impart a specific skill, as opposed to general knowledge.” 18 U.S.C. § 2339A(b)(3) further provides that for these purposes the term ‘expert advice or assistance’ means advice or assistance derived from scientific, technical or other specialized knowledge.’’

Representatives and members of a designated FTO, if they are aliens, are inadmissible to and, in certain circumstances, removable from the United States (see 8 U.S.C. §§ 1182 (a)(3)(B)(i)(IV)-(V), 1227 (a)(1)(A)).

Any U.S. financial institution that becomes aware that it has possession of or control over funds in which a designated FTO or its agent has an interest must retain possession of or control over the funds and report the funds to the Office of Foreign Assets Control of the U.S. Department of the Treasury.

WHAT! WHO? WHY? Which group of drooling governmental morons decided that this den of Marxist Ass Hats deserved 19 million dollars of our hard earned money? ...I have this really powerful urge to hit something.
