Peanuts For The Belly

James Earl Carter, Jr. aka Jimmy Carter. 39th President of the United States and all around loser. His rule was characterized by one disaster after another and culminated in the election victory of Ronald Reagan in 1980 much to the chagrin of Leftists everywhere. He has sought to undermine the War On Terror by giving ammunition to our enemies with his demands to close Club GTMO for captured terrorists and by carping on the current President in a time of war. If that wasn't enough, his son Jack Carter recently won nomination as the Democrat Senator for Nevada in the elections come November. As the Press just fawns over "Jimma" Carter at every turn we have to revisit why Carter stunk so bad as President. Let me count the ways:

1) Amnesty for Vietnam Draft Dodgers.
2) Allowed the rise of the Sandinistas in Nicaragua.
3) Allowed the rise of the Ayatollah in Iran.
4) Recognition of Communist China over Taiwan as the "true" China.
5) Gave away the Panama Canal.
6) Runaway Inflation (Misery Index)
7) Allowed the Soviet Invasion of Afghanistan.
8) Loved Fidel Castro. (And still does)
9) Contributed to an all around general malaise at the end of the '70's.

I know, you think I'm being overly harsh since I am a conservative. Well, lets take a look at a recent interview Jimma gave to the German magazine, Der Spiegel:

SPIEGEL: Mr. Carter, in your new book you write that only the American people can ensure that the US government returns to the country's old moral principles. Are you suggesting that the current US administration of George W. Bush of acting immorally?

Carter: There's no doubt that this administration has made a radical and unpressured departure from the basic policies of all previous administrations including those of both Republican and Democratic presidents.

SPIEGEL: For example?

Carter: Under all of its predecessors there was a commitment to peace instead of preemptive war. Our country always had a policy of not going to war unless our own security was directly threatened and now we have a new policy of going to war on a preemptive basis. Another very serious departure from past policies is the separation of church and state, which I describe in the book. This has been a policy since the time of Thomas Jefferson and my own religious beliefs are compatible with this. The other principle that I described in the book is basic justice. We've never had an administration before that so overtly and clearly and consistently passed tax reform bills that were uniquely targeted to benefit the richest people in our country at the expense or the detriment of the working families of America...

LMAO! I can't really believe he actually said that. Oh dear, and his son may be a Senator from Nevada some day. When its comes to the doctrine of preemption, I'm sure the Native American Indians might beg to differ. Then of course, there is the Spanish in 1892. Then there is the Vietnamese in the Gulf of Tonkin skirmish which would lead to the Vietnam War, I'm sure they might have a thing to say or two. Heck, we might as well go all the way back to the beginning when the Republic invaded Canada in the Revolutionary War! Looks like preemption to me. As far as the separation of Church and State, I don't know what country he is talking about but here in the US the Leftwing Judiciary and their activist organs such as the ACLU are doing everything they can to kick God out of the public square. They are nearly succeeding. Surely his isn't talking about us, is he? Tax bills? Um, he is from a former slave state whose economy was the capstone of slave/gulag trade in the South. I do believe that was pretty outrageous, but not to Jimma because GW Bush clearly is the devil incarnate. Who whizzed in his Wheaties may I ask? George?

Go ahead and read the rest of the article if you can stomach it. But don't belly-ache to me after you get done because I warned ya.
