Carter is in the all time top 10 list of worst American presidents . He isn't in a list of " GREAT " Americans; not even " good " ones. You are benighted, in " feeling " ( you haven't based this in thought nor facts ) that this is a " good " and " humane " man. He's supervised and okayed many corrupted foreign elections. He helped put many stinking Commies in power , in Africa and in Haiti. Through his intervention, Robert Mugabe, of Zimbabwe, was made dictator for life ( well, they haven't called it that, but that's what he's become )and has now starved, tortured,and killed blacks and whites. What he's done to the white population of Zimbawe, is mass genocide. That's just for starters.
Don't hand me any shiboloths or hyporbolic responses. Do you know what Jimmy Carter has or has not done and said, for the past 20 + years ? It doesn't appear that you do; elsewise, you couldn't post what you do. Are you going to next say, that Hitler was a " humane " and " good " man, because he loved dogs and children ? Of course, those kiddies had to be Aryans.
No, everyone doesn't have to agree here, everyone isn't far Right ( as if that were a bad thing to be and just how faaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaar right do you surmise I am ? ); however, people, who talk about people and things, they know extremely little about, ARE going to be refuted, with zeal, here. Look up the meaning of the words " humane " and " good " and then get back to me about Jimmy. He had an agenda, he still has an agenda and he's lobbied and lobbied and lobbied, to get this award. He didn't DO anything to deserve it, though. By his own words, is he an anti-American.
He is both leftist and self-righteous, a deadly combination. For years, he kowtowed to the communists and slammed and denigrated our allies in the third world. He pronounces on foreign affairs, even though he is ill-informed about the true situation and is often simply wrong. He attributes the worst motives to those who disagree with him. Most offensively, he refuses to admit to his own blindnesses and weaknesses. To top it all off, he, like many of his fellow Democrat leftists, is reflexively anti-American -- in any given instance, America must be at fault, in error, or "imperialist."
He's a pure natural for the Nobel Peace Prize.
