You Didn t Ask for It, You Got It: Carterpalooza!

Jimmy C. thinks very, very little of the current president of the United States. In an interview with the Columbus Ledger-Enquirer last year, he said, “I don’t think that George W. Bush has any particular commitment to preservation of the principles of human rights.” SDI? “A ridiculous project technologically” and “counter to control of nuclear weapons in the world” (huh?). Also, “it will be a waste of money” and “it’s driven by pressures from manufacturers of weapons and so forth, among others.” The Kyoto protocol? “I think we should carry it out, fervently.”

He is also on record as saying that to drill in ANWR would be to “destroy” it (ask Jonah Goldberg, pal).

And, of course, when Bush — leading this nation into war, after a devastating attack — identified an “axis of evil,” Carter pronounced this “overly simplistic and counter-productive.” (Not infrequently does the ex-president sound like the French foreign minister.) He added, “I think it will take years before we can repair the damage done by that statement.”

Want more Carter? Okay, but I’m almost done. Here’s something personal — very — from Carter’s book The Virtues of Aging:

When I was married at the age of 22 and relishing an active sex life, I assumed that this was a pleasure that my middle-aged parents rarely, if ever, enjoyed. Now, well past 70, Rosalynn and I have learned to accommodate each other’s desires more accurately and generously, and have never had a more complete and enjoyable relationship.

Shudder, shudder, shudder, shudder, shudder, shudder, shudder.

Folks, I’m sorry, I don’t think I can go on. There’s your Carterpalooza. Hope you enjoyed it (or whatever). Have a good weekend.

Great find. More conservatives need to read all about who in America the super rich Opecker Princes have been buying off since the 1970s!

The super rich Opecker Princes have been buying off this vile piece of offal since the 1970's. See this link: (Super Rich Opecker Princes have owned Carter for Decades)

The $64 trillion ?, is what other Rat Policiticians besides the Carter and the Clintoons have these super rich Opecker Princes been buying off.

The stances taken by Da$$hole to keep us from drilling in ANWR makes him a prime suspect, IMHO! He and his fellow rat senators who want us dependent on Opecker Oil forever.

Then, what so called non profits have the super Rich Opecker Princes been buying off to make America weaker? IMHO, we need to look at the enviral nazis who hate America and work 24/7/365 to keep us dependent on Opecker Oil.

When we can really start looking at the blood money trail from the Opecker Princes to America to buy out Americans, a lot of mysteries of the past decades will be cleared up.

More info for your Opecker Princes folder and their buying of the Rats since the 1970's.

Maybe you/we need a new Index: Opecker Princes Financing JiHad in America.

To the index king of Free Republic.

Carter has been a national disgrace since he first stumbled on the political scene. It was Carter that I hoped the American public would remember when another unknown boob steped forth from the shaddows. Much to America's misfortune, they didn't. Imagine how much better off this nation would have been had Bill and Hillary never disgraced our federal government by their presence.

Carter was elected to save us from Gerald Ford. He sure saved us alright. Thank God Ronald Reagan was there to pull our fat out of the fire.

Jimmy Carter is an embarassment to his family, his state, the nation and the world. That his followers don't see this is evidence of their supreme ignorance.

Carter is sick!

carter, gore, klintons, arafat, sharpton and jackson all in a rowboat, set adrift, with a camera for live telecasts...reality tv squared.

Jimmy C. thinks very, very little of the current president of the United States.

No doubt. I'll bet President Bush, Sr. probably had just as low an opinion of President Clinton, but being a basically decent man, he bit his tongue and kept his mouth shut (which couldn't have been easy). IMHO, the notion of Jimmy Carter being a decent man is more myth than reality.

[Grampa Dave]

A friend who really knew politics, allways wondered where the money came to elect an socialist peanut farmer who was not a good governor president.

He died just after the Clintoon was elected. One of his last comments was, "Did the same people who financed and enabled Carter to be elected, do the same with this petty criminal from Arkansaw.!" (My friend died just after Clinton was sworn in, so none of his presidential crimes were known. My friend just knew crooks when he saw them.)

With the data that has been released just in thje past 2 weeks re the blood money trail from the Opecker Princes to Carter, maybe my friend's unanswered question is being finally answered.

[jpl]

I've never been a huge Gerald Ford fan, but he definitely would have been far superior to the socialist peanut farmer. And if Ford hadn't pardoned Nixon he would almost certainly have been comfortably re-elected. There was a man who truly put the good of the country above his own personal ambitions, something that's true of Carter only in his own mind.

This is what I remember:
Back in 1975-1976, all eyes were on the Iowa Caucuses which had become the litmus test for new political candidacies like Jimmy's.
A group of Democratic politicos in the Polk County Court House (Des Moines) who were very close to the local paper fell in love with the Georgia "farmer" (he was anything but)and got behind this newcomer's campaign, with a series of big scoops in the state-wide Des Moines Register and local afternoon Tribune.
Every political reporter in the country was looking for a story out of Iowa at the time, and when Carter won the open caucus, (republicans and independents could vote in Democratic meetings) Carter was annointed by everyone from the Register to Time Magazine. He went on to New Hampshire and the rest is history.

(Not infrequently does the ex-president sound like the French foreign minister.)

That sound you hear is the hammer hitting the nail on the head. . . . .

[stumpy]

Carter's family cannot be ashamed. You forget his son was unable to visit him in the white house as he was a fugitive from justice, (draft dodger hiding in Canada). So in order to have his son visit him he declared amnesty to all the draft dodgers.

His daughter had a run in with the law, and assaulted the cops. Then there was the brother, could have starred in hee haw. The only carter that ever said anything worthy was his wife, when reflectin on their children said it would have been better if she had stayed a virgin.

I remember carter well, interest rates on mortgages 17 1/2 to 20+ %, buying gas on odd days after waiting in long lines. It took the trash of clintoon to almost make carter ( I said almost ) look competent. And don't forget the hundreds of American Athletes that trained for years to see their Olympic ambitions cancelled by "jimmy".

[Tom Bombadil]

If you live in Communist China, Communist Cuba, Communist Ethiopia, Communist Nicaragua, Communist North Korea, Communist . . .: screw you

And don't forget that Carter willingly traded the evil Shah of Iran for the saintly Ayatolla.

[Grampa Dave]

My Dad died that summer, and I honestly don't remember that much of the summer and the election.

You posted, Carter was annointed by everyone from the Register to Time Magazine

This was what my friend was concerned about. How did this nobody become a candidate and then a president. This only happens in fiction books.

Then the same thing with the Clintoon. The money that it takes to win since the late 1960's is tremendous. Also, someone has to sell the NY Slimes, Wash. Compost the LA Slimes and then CNNNBCCBSABC.

Regardless he ended up being one of our worst presidents and as per this article and others coming out, he has not done America any great favors. I have know two guys who knew him in the Naval Academy and then in the submarine fleet. They did not care for him at anytime. When he started to really deteriorate the fleet, it did not come as a surprise to them. Our Navy was a disaster when Reagan became president. It became one of his priorities and a Great Rebuilt Navy was passed on by RR!

[texasbluebell]

I just wish these dem ex-presidents would hush up. I'm so sick and tired of hearing them butt in. They had their chance, and their own predecessors were too gentlemanly to criticize them. I wish Gov. Peanut would just go away, and take the 'toon with him.

[Cincinatus' Wife]

That's funny!

[Carolinamom]

I knew about Carter's brother, Billy, but I did not know he had a son or that his daughter had had a run-in with the police. Details?

Carter = wretched little man and bumbling president who ought to keep his mouth SHUT. I was outraged to learn that his wife Roselyn sat in on Cabinet meetings and took notes.
