Jimmy Carter ought to be ashamed of himself.
Millions of Americans are legitimately concerned over an attempt by a political party to fundamentally change the country through government without regard to the limits imposed by the Constitution. These are legitimate concerns being expressed in legitimate ways. The left, so bereft of humility, cannot recognize genuine political and philosophical disagreement but see only racism.
The former President has been cozying up to authoritarian Marxists for so long and is now so convinced in the rightness of their leftness that the noise of the democratic process is no longer required or even welcome. In fact, it is no longer viewed as the democratic process anymore but as opposition to progress. Further, opposition comes in only one flavor these days, racist.
The fact is that people like Jimmy Carter do not like Americans and they certainly do not trust them. This is one of the reasons that Reagan crushed Carter, he trusted in the goodness of the American people. Statists, like Carter, do not.
For my part, I still believe in this country. I still believe that we can overcome this current crisis in national identity. In order to do so, we must first reject the oft bigotry of racist expectations.
Does racism still exist? Absolutely. Is it a driving factor in our current national discussion? No way. We are bigger than that. Better than that.
I say to you today, my friends, that even though we face the difficulties of today and tomorrow, I still have a dream. It is a dream deeply rooted in the American dream...

Jimmy Cater?
Somehow, that's appropriate.
Jimmy Carter is a text book example of what happens when a village idiot becomes senile.
LLS
Well, it happens before you get senile. My father is in Carter’s USNA class and the Academy alumni from that year LOVE to pump up all the “distinguished” grads who are big libs...senile or not. From this class came Carter, Turner, Crowe but the “good guys” were Denton and Stockdale - POWs from Viet Nam. It’s disgusting to see how the Academy alumni fawn all over the libs - soon, it’ll be Jones...yuck!
I didn’t know Jimmuh was a caterer. Who knew? ;-) j/k
Carter is proof that even a well disciplined mind of a military man can be totally fried by hanging around democrats.
Actually, methinks that Jimmah was one of those who successfully fooled the Navy into thinking he had measurable IQ. He didn’t leave the Navy because he wanted to - methinks he left because he had to.
I said this on another thread, Jimmy Carter came was asked to make this statement so the MSM could report on it and continue to ignore the ACORN story, you guys are falling for it, don’t let them take up space, just keep hammering ACORN
In his 1982 presidential memoir, Carter cited as his biggest mistake “allowing Ronald Reagan to become President of the United States.”
Who does Jimmy cater to?
Where's your tinfoil hat alert?
And all along I thought it was because he was a senile old race baiting fool.
It will never happen. Shame requires awareness, something old Jimmy lacks.
Jimmy C. will never be ashamed of his actions. He feels that the American people are dumber than a box of rocks for not re-electing him because he is so far superior in his intellect. We are so stupid that we didn’t follow his wise leadership. Jimmy has not learned to deal with failure. Since he has not learned from failure, he has demonstrated the unique capacity of being a failure on so many new levels.
He is truly a pathetic figure and a failure without any redeeming values that I can discover.
Ed Koch told a story in one of the articles when he had a New York Post column about Carter. The story starts when Carter was POTUS and running for reelection in 1980.
Carter asked for Koch's public support. Koch told Carter he would vote for him but refused to campaign for him because of Carter's foreign policy with respect to the State of ISRAEL. After Carter's humiliating defeat at the hands of Reagan, Carter cursed Koch for his lack of support accusing Koch of causing him to loose the election. Koch said in his article that responded by saying he thought Carter was not a good President.
In the end of the article Koch also added that he did not think Carter was a good man and still does not.
I agree with both you and Koch on this one.
Carter is and always has been a vindictive little man.
