When I reach Jimmy Carter’s grandson by Zoom, he answers wearing a Raphael Warnock campaign T-shirt. Jason Carter is a lawyer and politician himself, mid-40s, animated and well-read, with blue eyes reminiscent of his grandfather’s. He’s just got off the phone with his 93-year-old grandmother, Rosalynn. It’s a special day; Joe Biden is on his way to the Carter house in Plains, Georgia.
“My grandfather has met nearly everyone in the world he might want to,” Jason Carter says. “Right now, he’s meeting with the president of the United States. But the person he’d say he learned the most from was Rachel Clark, an illiterate sharecropper who lived on his family’s farm.
“He didn’t pity her,” Carter says. “He saw her power. My grandfather believes in the power of a single human and a small community. Protect people’s freedoms, he says, and they can do great things. It all comes back to an enormous respect for human beings.”

Next in the line of succession is Madman Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi...
Had to click on the post to read the rest. Thought sure it was gonna be "Yasser Arafat".
When we kicked the bum known as “Carter” out of office and elected Ronald Reagan by a massive landslide?
Oh, like it matters who We The People vote for?
More celebration of the man who brought us Islamic terror because the Shah wouldn’t pay him a bribe.
C’mon...Carter was Great...at keeping the Whitehouse tennis court schedule!
Unfortunately, that's probably true.
Carter was the worst president ever until Obama then slow Joe came along
Birds of feather.
“‘Decades ahead of his time’: history catches up with visionary Jimmy Carter”
Why sure. The way he handled the takeover of Iran by radicals is a class book lesson in failure of leadership.
“Stagflation and long gas lines.”
Not to mention impotence toward Islamic terrorism. And indifference toward Castro exporting his criminal class.
This know nothing Meghan of the Guardian is a complete fvking idiot! Unfortunately, her view, outlook and perspective is shared by way too many mentally retarded and regressed people in the USA. I was a kid in the Carter years and saw what my parents went through. When Reagan was elected, that great man shaped my American mind and made America great again. It’s quite familiar to today. Maybe it can happen again when we flush this turd Biden.
Inept antisemetic weak fool. Lipstick on a pig (apologies to the pig).
We seem to be about the same age. I am a bit younger of course, hahaha. But seriously, I came from a big family of stupid dims. I remember back to the Nixon/Kennedy race riding in the back seat of my grandfather’s Studebaker Hawk next to a case of half pints of Walker’s Deluxe Whiskey down into an area called Mud Center handing out bottles to everyone of the poor mostly black neighborhood that my grandfather convinced to get into the car and ride over to the polls to cast a vote for Kennedy. It used to be bars and liquor stores were closed during polling hours.
That was my earliest firsthand experience with dim voter fraud. That experience along with all the stories told around the kitchen table I heard as a kid from the adults about “sticking it to the rich” and that our dim politicians must be listened to because they know best. None of what I heard them say about politics made any sense when you compared it to how each one of my family members lived their lives.
Those attitudes just didn’t seem right to me even as a young kid. So when it came time to vote as an 18 year old the only logical choice in my opinion was to vote straight Republican. And since 1972 I have yet to vote for any dim candidate EXCEPT one. I voted for a dim state treasurer each time he ran because he was an honest guy who always did the right thing except switch parties.
I did get close to voting dim twice when I supported George Bush the younger 2 times. I’m not sure why my families dim dogma escaped me, all it did was generate questions no one could or would answer to me that made any sense, even for a young kid. I left my hometown shortly after the Reagan/Carter election and I am pretty positive (haven’t been back since ‘84), that to this day I’m the only right voting member of my family.
The press turned on him. They wouldn’t do that today.
Writer is correct, JC was ahead of his times. Way back when this TWOT was in charge he was pushing the same crappola that is now so rampant. And, that is why he was for a long time considered the worst Pres of all time — until BHObama.
‘Decades ahead of his time’........at wrecking the HELL out of the US economy ,and sending Inflation numbers thru the roof, worse than ANY president of the 20th Century( Wilson,FDR,LBJ, Bubba ) - no small feat!!!!
So true.
Like the left thinks we need “common sense gun control” I have adopted the same attitude about the 1st amendment. We need “common sense controls on the media”. If it saves one life…perhaps Seth Rich would be alive today.
Haha yep, they shrunk everything on Jimmuh but his feet look at those clown shoes.
