BUMPITY BUMP BUMP BUMP... ANYONE OUT THERE?

Second on Guy's comments. Carter was an absolute horror as a President. That anyone would ever want a repeat of anything like him speaks volumes.

Everytime I think of Carter, I'm that much more pleased that Kerry wasn't elected, as I really think Kerry would have been the second coming of the Peanut boy.

And now he's become an international statesman (aka whore) who will sell himself to any third world dictator who seeks legitimacy in his regime. (See Kim Il Sung of North Korea, etc.)

But the left loves Carter, no wonder.

Does John Kerry have a no-good bozo brother like Jimmy and Bill do/did?
Why do both our recent Democratic presidents have no-good trailer trash brothers that they'd rather leave behind?

Does John Kerry have a no-good bozo brother like Jimmy and Bill do/did? I dont' think a brother, but a wife maybe.

Yes, I think Teresa Heinz-Kerry is better out of the limelight. In fact, let's turn the lights off please.

This is the greatest article I ever read on Jimmy Carter. Usually, when I see him on TV, I just want to rip out my eyeballs and
eardrums, in the hopes I won't have to see or hear that man again! Now, I know other people feel the same way as me, which
makes me feel like I'm not alone in this great big world. Thanks for writing this, singrdave!

Interesting point on civil disobedience there. One of the things that gets me is, there seems to be no POINT to civil disobedience if you aren't willing to pay a penalty to prove your point.

But what better machine to rage against than one who will not seek retribution?
Better yet, one that totally validates your efforts and refuses to hold you accountable for your civil disobedience?

By coincidence, I watched tonight's "King of the Hill" where Jimmy Carter negotiates a peace between Hank and his dad, Cotton.

The funniest lines in that whole episode?
"Great president? He's just a one-term peanut farmer!" "Heh, yeah, and he wore a sweater."

Thanks for this article, singrdave. Carter was quite possibly the worst lowpoint for American democracy. Well, until Clinton came along, that is.

My favorite line from the "malaise speech" is when he ends it with ".....and whenever possible, say something nice about America." Nothing like having all the answers, huh? how about at least some? He had none. And not one clue. He got his knowledge of economics from a college textbook he read on the campaign trail, given to him by handlers when they discovered he was, er....less than knowledgable on the subject.

On "The Simpsons", there's even a statue of him in the Springfield Town Square that says "Malaise Forever". I love it.

As the final irony, though, and to show the power of high-placed string-pulling, read an article I wrote:

But I think he is a good, kind and caring person.

Perhaps, but when he's always jetting off to have a heart-to-heart with some brutal dictator somewhere in order to give them a shot in the arm or a pat on the back, you have to wonder what he really cares about.

If you ever want to read a good book on the subject, read "The Real Jimmy Carter". Can't remember the author's name right offhand, but it was published only a year or two ago. Very good read, and very eye-opening, too.

Wow, a spark of hope!

An amazing piece of simplistic history for the gullible.

But thank you for calling it "amazing".

BTW, "DL activity" = activity on the "Down-Low", as in covert or clandestine. Or just embarrassing.
