Jimmy Carter Says US More Polarized Than During Civil War
Republican redefined ^ | 9-21-10 | By T. CHRISTOPHER

Posted on 09/21/2010 6:59:21 PM PDT by STONEWALLS

In day where Jimmy Carter stole headlines for referring to his own tenure post-presidency as “superior” to that of other presidents, I thought it was somewhat disappointing that his real mind-bender was seemingly overlooked – even though it came in the very same interview as his other absolutely ridiculous comments. Remarking on the “state” of the United States, after being asked by Brian Williams if he views it as “glass half-full or half-empty”, Carter said he thought President Obama suffers from a Washington that has become more polarized than it was during the time of Abraham Lincoln and the “initiation of the ‘war between the states.’”

“This country has become so polarized that its almost astonishing…. Not only with the red and blue states… President Obama suffers from the most polarized situation in Washington that we have ever seen – even maybe than the time of Abraham Lincoln and the initiation of the war between the states.”

620K dead is the most quoted number. Including about 204K battle deaths. Disease is attributed to most of the rest.

We lost 50K in SE Asia.

I imagine Jimmah is broke like the rest of us

Not likely, he has years of government service of one form or another. Plus the dem party takes care of their favorite liars.

And the population of the US was about 20M at the time.

Just for perspective.

based on the way your post was worded, I was commenting on any single battle.

I don’t think the EMP would do it. There’s still mortars and landmines and grenades. belt fed machine guns, recoilless rifles, etc. No blue vs grey style shooting matches with those around.

However, an EMP could cause widespread banditry and rape gangs and famine and thuggery. That could kill as many as the US civil war if it went on long enough in modern mega cities...hell on earth. worse than war.

Let’s face it, we cannot live next to these people in peace any more than we can live next to rabid dogs or serial killers.

People of good character can’t live with them, because their very existence is defined by violating everything decent.

We must separate from them first. Then, commence to destroy them.

Yeah! Then we’ll start on the liberals!

As I recall history, the Civil War had citizens in fields killing each other by the 100s of thousands. We're not there yet.

The present killing fields in this nation are the abortuaries.

Cordially,

Ever notice how SPINELESS COWARDS know only ONE way to make themselves LOOM LARGE?

They COURAGEOUSLY demean you with words.

But not to your face. Oh NO! They enjoy insulting you on public forums, where they are safely far away, and anonymous.

That’s right; just like Liberals do.

But if you ran into them in the store, one on one, they’d never even look you in the eye.

As a child I remember gas rationing, inflation and gold prices. Carter ranks as the worst President EVER, and soon Obama will take his place. : )

To be more precise, he had an estate in what is now Arlington National Cemetary, overlooking the White House and Capitol!

More multi-culti?

Not really ~ people do stuff and individuals become more multi-culti (spaghetti with Thanksgiving turkey for example) but not nations.

SEX WORKS!

But, but, - - didn’t the ‘liberry’ get renamed ‘libary’ in honor of Barry Soetoro and his lying expertise?

Carter is a moron. He just wants more time in the spotlight.

Obama is not only the greatest liar to have held the office of President, he is also the greatest small arms salesman to occupy the Oval Office.
