Jimmy Carter Disgraced For Many Reasons

When it came time to judge Jimmy Carter's presidency, Americans voters thundered: Carter, receiving 40% of the popular vote, carrying four states. With sound reasons: The prime rate had soared to 20%, inflation to 12.5% and unemployment to 7.5%
More dismal than Carter's domestic failures is the continuing damage his blunders did to international security. Carter would not help Iran's Shah -- a strong ally of the U.S., even if not exactly a Jeffersonian democrat -- withstand Khomeini's revolution. Carter bears responsibility for subjecting Iran to the nightmarish rule of fanatic mullahs. All evils currently instigated by Iran -- e.g., killing U.S. soldiers in Iraq, Hezbollah's subjugation of Lebanon, Hamas' reign of rockets and terrorism--are attributable to Carter's blunder. Carter urged 150 Iranian generals to accept Khomeini. All were subsequently tortured and executed; the mullahs distributed photos of their mutilated corpses.
Iranian theocrats exhibited their respect for Carter by invading our embassy in Teheran and kidnapping diplomats -- a breach of international law eschewed even by Hitler and Stalin. Carter dithered for 444 interminable days during the crisis. His cowardly reluctance to take action exposed our country as a paper tiger, emboldening enemies worldwide. Hostages were released the day Ronald Reagan became President; Iranians realized we now had a leader who would act resolutely.

Yeah. He could be like that guy at Heathrowe a few years ago who couldn't leave. Just wandered around the place day and night. The shopowners fed him.
That would make a fascinating book.

There’s only ONE reason Jimmah’s disgraced...
Because he’s Jimmah.
The disgraceful symptoms, on the other hand, are legion...

Absolute despicable excuse for a human being. Even the Democrats are ashamed of this bastard.

No, I actually remember that. One of the Iranian terrorists' conditions for release was that Carter was not reelected. They got their wish, but now Carter seems to be good friends with terrorists everywhere. Limbaugh said a few days ago, his theory was that Jimma suffers from Stockholm syndrome. He said he was serious but I thought he was joking. Now I think he was right.

What I have never understood is how someone who was in the US Navy and on nuclear subs could turn out like this? I wonder if any FPreeps served with him and could explain this?
To: moderatewolverine
sadly, bro’ carter has crossed the line of no return:
either you’re for israel or against.
the united states is for, bro’ carter against.

Yeah, like it was Gorby’s genius that led to the Berlin Wall coming down.

US Navy and on nuclear subs could turn out like this?It's easy. Military service does not ensure any particular virtue. The military has a cross section of personalities and beliefs just like any other part of society. They have their share of a$$holes, pompous idiots, statists, crooks and losers. Dismal Jimmah is representative of a number of these categories.
