On March 22, NPR flagged this comment by Jimmy Carter:
“The fact that the Catholic Church, for instance, prohibits women from serving as priests or even deacons gives a kind of a permission to male people all over the world, that well, if God thinks that women are inferior, I’ll treat them as inferiors. If she is my wife, I can abuse her with impunity, or if I’m an employer, I can pay female employees less salary.”
Carter said practically the same thing on Charlie Rose on March 24 (it was reaired last night), and on MSNBC’s “Morning Joe” on March 24.
Bill Donohue commented today on Carter’s accusation:
So many women have been beaten, gang raped, tortured, and murdered in Islamic nations—it is a daily occurrence in the Sudan—that it would take the most advanced computers to run a tally. Moreover, there is no penalty for doing so. The barbaric practice of female genital mutilation—nowhere sanctioned by Catholicism—has been visited on hundreds of millions of Muslim women. Why is this so? Because the Catholic Church doesn’t ordain women.
Carter’s scorecard on women appointees, it turns out, stinks to high heaven. When he became president, he appointed 13 cabinet officers; three were women. He appointed 18 women to cabinet and cabinet level positions; his predecessor, Gerald Ford, who was in office for only two-and-a-half years, appointed 22 women. Of the 5 members of Carter’s White House staff, one was a woman. He appointed 259 judges to the federal bench, and 15.8 percent were women.
So according to Carter’s logic, if the Catholic Church is responsible for women being abused across the globe because it doesn’t ordain women, then he is a co-conspirator in these crimes. Which raises the question: Why is Jimmy Carter walking around a free man?
The last sane democrat president was Truman.
Kennedy: inexperienced skirt chaser
Johnson: full of himself goofball
Carter: Anti semetic and economic retard
Clinton: see Kennedy. Also brought us 9/11
Obama: The first foreigner and complete unknown president.
elected by massive fraud and deception.
Wonder what the next dimrat president will be?
If we have another president.
Unless you have a frog in your pocket, you're standing alone.
I sure as hell didn't vote for the stinking idiot...I knew what he was from his tenure as Governor of Georgia.
Plus, I had the displeasure of meeting the piano-toothed butthead once, before he was elected, and again, when he was POTUS. I was not impressed on either occasion.
In fact, I was SO unimpressed after my meeting while he was POTUS that my vocalization of what a damned loser he was, got me called onto the carpet and "counseled" to remember just who my Commander-in-Chief was.
But, truly, one would be hard pressed to understand how the damned fool did get elected, since absolutely no one in this day and age will admit to having voted for him.
Of course we elected Carter President. After all he had a well-qualified person advising him - his daughter Amy, who was well-versed on nuclear policy and Soviet Russia. [Well not all of us elected him to be President].
Had he not made asinine errors like the debates where he didn't KNOW that the Soviets had control over Eastern Europe.
And had he not been a squishy liberal Rockefeller republican, he would have been elected.
Yeah, the Nixon pardon didn't help. But that was pretty much not an issue by 1976.
I agree wholeheartedly!
What Jimmuh needs isn't a jail cell, it's a keeper.
You nailed it, BtD.
Carter pops up time to time and open his sewer and then vanishes. The poor man is so crazy that its almost pitiful to watch. Cant be angry at crazy people. Just hope he finds much needed help.
