In his new book, "Exopolitics – Politics, Government and Law in the Universe," he concludes that Earth has been "under quarantine" too long from more spiritually evolved "Off-Planet Cultures" – or OPCs, as they are known in ET circles. Webre has...

Former President Jimmy Carter criticized the war in Iraq on Wednesday, urging a troop drawdown as the United States enters its fourth year of conflict in Iraq. "It was a completely unnecessary war. It was an unjust war," said Carter, the 2002 Nobel Peace Prize winner. "It was initiated on the basis of false pretenses. All of those are true, but we can't just pre-emptively withdraw." He urged the Bush administration to bring home as many troops as possible within the next 12 months. "The violence is increasing monthly," Carter said. "My prayer is we'll see some kind of democracy...

Former President Jimmy Carter downplayed criticism of White House support of an Arab-owned company's purchase of a major seaport-operations firm. BY LESLEY CLARK lclark@MiamiHerald.com WASHINGTON - President Bush is taking a battering from fellow Republicans, even the governors of New York and Maryland, over the administration's support for a decision that gives an Arab company control of some commercial operations at six major seaports -- including Miami-Dade's. But he got a boost Monday from an unlikely source, frequent critic and former president Jimmy Carter, who downplayed fears that the deal poses a risk. ''The overall threat to the United States...

LAS VEGAS, February 20, 2006 (LifeSiteNews.com) - Jack Carter, 58, the eldest son of former U.S. President Jimmy Carter has announced he is seeking the Democratic nomination for U.S. Senate to represent Nevada. At his launch, Carter spoke with reporters revealing his schizophrenic stand on abortion - a stand similar to that of his father. Speaking with the Associated Press' Kathleen Hennessey, Carter described his abortion views saying, ""I'm a personal freedoms person. I don't want the government to come in and tell my child or whoever it is that they can't have an abortion. I'm pro-choice as far as...

It isn’t too often that one who pens opinion articles will fully allow himself to “let it all out,” and quite possibly say more than ever intended. Here then, is one of those rare times--a time when I cannot contain myself, consequences be damned. For today, I will speak in no uncertain terms about one of America’s greatest elective mistakes, James Earl Carter, Jr. That is the last time I will use Carter’s full Christian name in this space, so cherish the reference if you must. But even that simple courtesy should be denied, in my mind. If one were...

Presidential press secretary Scott McClellan today refused to "analyze" the political potshots his boss endured during the funeral of Coretta Scott King this week, saying only President Bush was "honored" to attend the marathon service. In posing questions to McClellan at the press briefing, WND pointed out some of media's observations about the jibes Bush took during the service from certain speakers. "The New York Post notes the following – and this is a quote – 'Jimmy Carter's disgraceful performance at Coretta Scott King's funeral marks him as the most shameless,'" WND noted. "While The New York Times Page 1...

In a tear-streaked story in the New York Times bemoaning the inability of the Democrats to exploit what they see as the GOP's many weaknesses and use them to win back control of Congress in this year's congressional elections, Sen. Chris Dodd (D-Conn) sobbed that the health of his far-left Democratic Party is "A lot worse than it should be. This has not been a very good two months." "We seem to be losing our voice when it comes to the basic things people worry about," Dodd said. Senator Dodd, along with the outraged liberals who now dominate his party,...

Jimmy Carter is a true Christian, a real patriot & a great American. If we had only elected him to a second term, we'd probably all be driving hybrid and high mileage vehicles and using solar and alternative energy sources and the world would be more peaceful and the environment would be healthy.

WASHINGTON, November 7, 2005 (LifeSiteNews.com) - Former US President Jimmy Carter knows how to play his audiences. Last week Carter appeared on MSNBC's Hardball slamming President George W. Bush in a fashion perhaps never before seen from an ex-President, but also last week Carter spoke to the conservative Washington Times newspaper, revealing his apparently new-found strong pro-life views. Not surprisingly, Carter did not mention his anti-abortion stand with Hardball's Chris Matthews. Stephen F. Hayward, PhD., who last year wrote a book on Carter noted Carter's political exploitation of abortion in the past. In an interview with National Review, Hayward recalled...

All this adulation of John Paul II, a man of monumental moral stature, must be gnawing at MSM innards. You could almost hear the command go out from the NBC honchos: "find me something we can use to bash a conservative. Make it Bush if you can." And sure enough, Today managed to come up with a great two-fer this morning, managing to take swipes at both W and Condi over the exclusion of Jimmy Carter from the US delegation to the papal funeral. Andrea Mitchell, reporting the story, clearly wasn't buying the White House line that Carter politely asked...

Gov. Jeb Bush is lashing back at former President Jimmy Carter for his criticism of Florida's election situation this year. "There's this constant haranguing of nonsense, including by President Carter, which is a huge surprise to me because I have admired his compassionate actions in his post-presidency," Bush said. Carter said in a Washington Post article Monday that "some basic international requirements for a fair election are missing in Florida. The disturbing fact is that the repetition of the problems of 2000 now seems likely." Bush said Carter did no research before reaching his conclusions, the Orlando Sentinel reported Wednesday....
