Jimmy Carter was one of our worst presidents,but was probably one of our greatests Americans.Say what you will,he did not have leadership qualities,but he is humane and a good man.

I respectfully disagree. Jimmy Carter is a friend of tyrants and terrorists, and an enemy of America.

As conservatives, we are generally good, decent, humane and tolerant people. We know that people make mistakes, b/c we know ourselves. Accordingly tend to be way to charitable to those on the left. We think that they are misguided, not evil. The notion of Carter as good man/bad president is characteristic of that way of thinking.

We need to nip this in the bud, and now.

Carter is not a good man. Woodrow Wilson was not a good man. Castro is not a good man. Gorbachev is not a good man. These men are self-righteous, fanatical, delusional, power-hungry, sick and evil. They crave recognition as good, but they are not good, because they desire to control and limit human freedom, real freedom, that is - not some Wilsononian freedom from hunger.

Socialists are not misguided, they are evil. They have a false view of human nature and this false view of human nature is rooted in their willful disregard of the plain truths of humnan nature, individually and collectively. They are intoxicated by power and the desire to be recognized as "doing good" - and their version of doing good always involves pushing the rest of us animals around the yard at the feed lots, getting fat and ready for slaughter.

The founders of america had a radically different worldview and obviously a very different view of the state. Those men were good men. Some were better than others. Some had some philosophical problems - think of Jefferson - but they were right on the Constitution. None had a messianic complex and none were socialists. Neither Woodrow Wilson nor Jimmy Carter would have fit in very well with the Founders.

Obviously this rant could go on for hours. And others have already posted excellent points. But here is the one we can't forget: we need not judge socialists by their intent, which we are all to easy to accept as being good. Their intent is not good, because they want to limit freedom, steal private property and break up the family. The effect of their intent is not good, either.

Therefore we should not refer to Carter as a good man. He is not a good man. He is a sick, evil, socialist coward.

I guess that is why he got the Nobel Piss Prize.
