Now we have Jimmy Carter who, until recently, has been referred to as this nation's worst president, being perceived as being some sort of a knowledgeable authority regarding all matters having to do with foreign policy, especially the Middle East. It seems that recently our old friend, Jimmy "the Stooge," told a crowd of 900-plus students and Austin residents that he doesn’t fear that the Muslim Brotherhood will take power in Egypt and that he believes his buddy Barry, the man who has essentially been charged with carrying out the second term of Carter's presidency, has carried on in true Carter tradition in how he chose to handle the situation in Egypt. Obviously Carter thinks it was all handled quite properly. Boy, I sure feel better now! How about you? And speaking of his own disastrous presidency, Carter said, “My proudest accomplishment was that I never dropped a bomb, fired a bullet or shot a missile.” I think anyone looking back at Carter's time in office would see very little for anyone, especially Jimmy, to be very proud of. It was a time that, at least up to the Barry presidency, was easily the worst period in this country since the 1930s. I guess Jimmy is proud of all that he accomplished during his time in office with its double digit unemployment, as well as its double digit interest rates and inflation. That anyone with a single brain cell would consider this moron as the go to guy for anything is more than a little frightening. This appeasement oriented pacifist represents a school of thought that is not only extremely dangerous, but reckless as well.
The silly event, “A Conversation with Former President Jimmy Carter,” was prompted in part by the former President’s latest work of fiction entitled, “White House Diary,” and was sponsored by the LBJ Library and led by its executive director, Mark K. Updegrove. I have to ask, other than brain washed college students, is there really a large enough audience of people who give a hoot about what this moron thinks about anything. But I digress. Anyway, this little soiree took place in the Lyndon B. Johnson Auditorium on the UT Austin campus. Mr. Updegrove, whose intelligence I find myself calling into question here, started the whole rather pointless conversation by asking Jimmy about current status of affairs in the Middle East. So here we have a guy who has, on a number of occasions, sided with every murdering terrorist group on the planet, and we have someone asking his opinion regarding the Middle East. Simply because this clown, this former president, "negotiated," and I use the term rather loosely, the Camp David Accords in 1978, which set up a peace treaty between Egypt and Israel he is now perceived as being some kind if an authority on the entire Middle East whose opinion is to be valued. At the time Anwar al-Sadat was Egypt’s president, Menachem Begin Israel’s prime minister and the fact that they entered into the agreement that was ultimately reached has much more to do with the integrity of these two men than with anything Jimmy might have done.
“I think the Middle East is still a testing box for the whole world, and I say that greatly recognizing that there are other places threatening to erupt,” Carter said. “And I include the Middle East as a totality, of course, not only including Lebanon but also Pakistan.” Carter insists on inserting himself into situations where he no expertise other than his constant determination to side with the wrong team. And more often than not he only succeeds in making matters worse, mush worse. He seems to take great pleasure in willingly providing to hostile news media any number of prime little sound bites that are ideal for use as propaganda by the bad guys. If it wasn't for the fact that this idiot managed himself into being a former president, no one in their right would be giving him or anything he says the slightest amount of attention. But he is a former president, so sadly, like it or not, what he says carries a certain amount of weight. They say timing is everything, and in the case of Carter winning election, nothing could better prove that point. He is a media whore and is often provided with a stage to spew his anti-American sentiment by members of a state run media who are of the same opinion as his regarding this country. Carter said when he became president he wanted to bring peace to the Holy Land. That statement alone clearly shows the naïveté of this utopia obsessed nimrod. He did this country no favors while in office and he has done only harm since the American people saw the error of their ways and replaced him with Ronald Reagan.
Jimmy refers to Anwar Sadat as the finest person he’s ever met. I've often wondered if Mr. Sadat thought as highly of Jimmy. Somehow, I seriously doubt it. I'm sure he knew a moron when he saw one. Carter was no Sadat, that's for sure. In October 1979, Sadat was assassinated and Hosni Mubarak became president. “And after following such an enlightening leader for years, Mubarak became infatuated with power and they were getting very rich in investing in money made schemes and wouldn’t let anyone challenge him for president,” Carter said. Such is Carter's opinion, and nothing more. “So for 30 years there was no form of democracy or freedom; it became increasingly abusive.” The Carter Center, the former president’s humanitarian organization, will be sending a delegation to Egypt within a few weeks to visit with military leaders, help draft a constitution and set up democratic elections for September. I'll bet they're all waiting on pins and needles for those clowns to show up. The former president has also met members of the Muslim Brotherhood during his time in Egypt. According to Carter, and Lord knows what he bases his assumption on, only 15 percent of Egyptians would actually vote for the Brotherhood during elections. Carter is nothing if not absolutely clueless, he has repeatedly taken a firm stance against all those who want only to be free, instead choosing to side with those who wish to forever extinguish any desire among their people to be free. He's just but one more backstabbing hypocrite who seems to take a great deal of pleasure slandering his country whenever the opportunity may present itself.
“I think that the Muslim Brotherhood is not anything to be afraid of,” Carter said. “They will be subsumed in the overwhelming demonstration of desire for freedom and democracy.” Well gee, if Jimmy says it going to okay, what's there to worry about? That's good enough for me! I sure do feel better. In terms of U.S. involvement, Jimmy said Barry "Almighty" handled the situation just as he would have and stressed the importance of “loyalty to Mubarak in the beginning.” The Nobel Prize laureate also discussed life as a peanut farmer, his unexpected win for the White House and a few of his most cherished memories as president, including his philosophy of peaceful negotiations. Let's be honest here for second if we can, this is the man whom we have to thank for ushering in the Islamic fanaticism that we are now being forced to confront all across the globe. He is the one that started the dominoes falling by his decision to force the Shah from power in Iran and to then turn around and welcome in with open arms that crazy religious wackjob, Ayatollah Khomeini. That one act was the beginning of the end for any hope of ever achieving any degree of lasting stability to speak of, in a region that is today the single point of origin for the radical Muslim extremism that threatens so much havoc. Thanks there Jimmy, great work. Jimmy did not forget that many in his audience were students. “I would like for the young people of the coming generations to strive for transcendence in political affairs, for superb accomplishments not just in your own profession, but in America.” This is such drivel.
Mr. Updegrove, the interviewer in this little exercise in stupidity, has written two books on the presidency, “Baptism By Fire: Eight Presidents Who Took Office in Times of Crisis” and “Second Acts: Presidential Lives and Legacies After the White House.” This particular event was part of the Harry Middleton Lectureship Series. Middleton, who served on President Johnson’s White House staff, also attended the event. He says Lady Bird Johnson would have been proud. “Carter brings a vantage point that not very many people have,” Middleton told reporters. Now there's an understatement if ever I heard one. It is this supposedly unique "vantage" point of his that influences the perspective which Jimmy brings to the discussion and that is responsible for his rather skewed point of view being one that would not be in agreement with most sane people. And anyone that is operating from Jimmy's vantage point most definitely does not have America's best interests at heart. Mr. Updegrove added, “He occupied the most important position in the world for four years.” Thank God it was only for four years, can you imagine the level of damage that he could have done had he been in office for eight years. But rest assured, now we have Barry who has pretty much picked up where Carter left off. Actually, Barry is more like Jimmy on steroids. But where we had a Ronald Reagan waiting in the wings back then, I don't see history repeating itself this time around. This time around the cavalry isn't waiting just over the hill. And it's more than a little scary!
UT senior Michael Hurta said, “When he named at least five different diseases … and all of the issues in foreign countries that have come up because of them, it just shows what kind of person he is- that’s he’s fighting to end such problems.” I bet Mike's parents are so very proud. I wouldn't be surprised to find out that they probably voted for Jimmy. Anyway, Hurta added, Carter’s political and charitable efforts after his presidency has made him different from most presidents and keeps him in a leadership position. "Leadership" position? I think Mike and I define leadership just a bit differently. Because Jimmy is not now nor has he ever been anything that would even remotely resemble a leader. Unless you count his being willing to repeatedly bend over and spread them as being his method of choice in dealing with any and all adversaries, potential and otherwise, of this country. “I left with this urgency in my stomach to be an advocate for human rights because that’s what he stresses -- regardless of political association, every American should care about human rights,” he said. Ah, Mike, that was probably just a bad case of gas brought on by listening to Jimmy for too long. Yup, our friend Mike is just another stellar example of the product that is currently being mass produced by our institutions of higher learning. Carter is a joke in nearly every respect. And worse than that, he is a gutless coward who is eager to run down his country at every opportunity especially when on foreign soil for no other reason than that he's guaranteed a standing ovation. He loves to bask in the limelight and will say anything to get there. He is nothing more than a disgusting human being.
