I agree. At least, Jimmy Carter was patriotic even though he was misguided.
Jimmy Carter made some mistakes but in a sense he tried to atone for them.
Carter allowed the Communist Daniel Ortega to seize power as POTUS but later told Ortega after an election Carter monitored to allow the opposition to take power and Ortega backed down.
Of course today Mr. Ortega and his wife are now the dictators of that country as you would expect from Communists.
