(2007-05-20) — Just a day after former President Jimmy Carter told reporters that the Bush administration is “the worst in history” the current White House resident called Mr. Carter “the best former president ever.”
“I know that President Carter and I have had our differences,” said Mr. Bush, “But I think most Americans will agree with me that heâs a terrific ex-president. Things have never been better since Jimmy Carter left office.”
Mr. Bush pointed to an array of improvements, including a stable growing economy, lower taxes, reduced inflation and unemployment and increased American strength and preparedness — all of which he associated with Mr. Carterâs years as a former president.
“I think history will judge President Carterâs post-White House tenure favorably,” said Mr. Bush, “As a former president, Mr. Carter has overseen the nationâs longest period of expansion and growth in opportunity.”

Regan fixed the Soviet Union much easier by simply stating, “Tear down that wall.”

Jimmy Carter is a moron and by all accounts is far more deserving of the title “Worst President in U.S. History” than George W. Bush is. Every major problem-social, political, economic, cultural-that this current administration and its allies have had to deal with both at home and throughout the world can be traced back to the complete and utter incompetence of the Carter Administration. Heâs in absolutely no position to be criticizing or denouncing anyone. Someone should just muzzle him and lock him away in a basement somewhere where he canât harass the rest of us any longer.
Other than what Iâve just said, I canât think of a better response to Carterâs comments than Scottâs article today. I would like to add however, that as great a former president as Carter has been, I can only imagine how great a dead president heâll be in what I pray is only a few more years. I canât wait.
By the way, Jimmah, as far as Bushâs policies in Israel (or Palestine, as Carter prefers to think of it), do you recall the Road Map to Peace? No? Well how about pictures of yourself shaking Yassir Arafatâs hand, do you remember that? Or are you so senile that you canât remember anything about your legacy that the mainstream media hasnât babyfed you for the last twenty years? Jack@$$.

Jimmy Carter saying ANY President, (other than himself), is “the worst in history”, is equivilant to O.J. calling some else a murderer, or Michael Jackson calling some else a child molester.
Wait, maybe a better analogy is Rosie OâDonnell calling Ann Coulter a “fat ugly hog”?

As someone who was in the Armed Services (11/1976-11/1979) during the Carter administration, I have the right to comment on Carter as a commander-in-chief, I was stationed in Germany, the military budget was cut so much, we couldnât get parts to keep our tracks running, we couldnât get any money for ammunition, so we could not do live fire exercises. Drug use was all over, barracks were falling apart. I laugh every time, I hear Carter talk about how bad Bush is as president. Is he senile, does he think we have all forgotten? Or is he just trying to get us to forget? Carter Iâm sorry to say, but you are STILL the worst president we have had, at least in my life time.

Jimmy Carter as Americaâs self apppointed spokesman to the world, who, by the way also served in the office of President, appeared on TV this morning. He was not in uniform; he must have left his hooded bedsheet at home.
His “Grand Imperial Wizzard” will no doubt call him to task for this inexcusable oversight. Jew haters like him should not be allowed out in public, without their bedsheet.
The public should have some protection from being exposed to the oft time contagious cancer of the brain that so seriously affects their ability to think rationally. Some refer to it as “The Adolph Hitler Syndrome”.
There are Christians and then there are “Christians In Name Only” (CINO) What Would Jesus Do? From what I read in the Bible, He certainly would not be a Jew hater!
The irony is that in becoming a Christian, the Bible says we become Jews by adoption.
Rom. 8:15 - 17 “For ye have not received the spirit of bondage again to fear; but ye have received the Spirit of adoption, whereby we cry, Abba, Father. The Spirit itself beareth witness with our spirit, that we are the children of God: And if children, then heirs; heirs of God, and joint-heirs with Christ; if so be that we suffer with him, that we may be also glorified together. (Rom. 8:15 - 17)

Iâd like to have General Petraeus in Iraq, order one million pounds of bacon and slip a “leak” to the new york times that military policy in Iraq and Afghanstan is now that no bullet, gernade or mortar can be used against the enemy without having first been fully coated with bacon grease.
Awhile back someone posted the idea of using picnic hams - great idea - they canât see or find a B-2 until itâs too late. Liquify a million hams and overfly Iran every couple or three days and spray a mist of pig grease, so the air they breathe and everything they touch is pig grease. Let them know (again a leak to the nyt) that we will stop only after they can prove to our satisfaction that they have discontinued all nuclear - everything!
The slaughterhouses at Armour could supply us with pigskins and (another leak) we can let it be known that we will bury any enemy bodies we can find, wrapped in pigskins in unmarked secret locations.
Of course it would require a real conservative to implement but history has proven General “Blackjack Pershing was right in the Phillipines in 1906. Stopped the Islamic Moro insurgents cold!

Carter says, “We now have endorsed the concept of pre-emptive war where we go to war with another nation militarily, even though our own security is not directly threatened, if we want to change the regime there or if we fear that some time in the future our security might be endangered,” he said. “But thatâs been a radical departure from all previous administration policies.”

Carters only justification for going to war would be if a cute fuzzy bunny attacked our Navy.

JL3rd. Another site in support of scrapping the whole immigration bill. This time by a Senator. Check it out: : http://www.humanevents.com/article.php?id=15165
Back to the topic at hand: Carter is the only President who made Bill Clinton look capable. By giving away the Panama Canal, by giving nuclear secrets to the North Koreans, by even opening his mouth denigrating our present administration, he has shown from the first to the present that he is a danger to this country, and could possibly be a good subject for an investigation leading up to treason charges being filed.

I also remember when Billy Carter was caught urinating on the tarmac at an airport. I mention this because I think it was less embarassing than what Jimmy has said recently.
Also, Billy was drunk, so that is another excuse that Jimmy cannot rely on!
Keg: I was in Germany from 1972 to 1974. As much as I dislike Carter, much of the things you list were the same then too. The fact that they had a Coke machine that they had converted to a beer machine made a LOT of those things tolerable! 25 cents a beer, although it was something like Blatz, Pabst, or something similar.
Although I donât drink or smoke anymore, the price was right for both in the Army. $1.30 a carton for Marlboros, and a couple bucks bought a bottle of decent whiskey.

They used to have Nuclear Fee Zone signs posted on all the highways. Duh, who would want to build a nuclear pant in a nest of old hippies.
Now they have come completely unscrewed

POEM - Illegal Immigrants
I cross ocean,
poor and broke,
Take bus,
see employment folk.
Nice man
treat me good in there,
Say I need
go see Welfare.
Welfare say,
“You come no more,
We send cash
right to your door.”
Welfare checks,
they make you wealthy,
Medicaid
it keep you healthy!
By and by,
Got plenty money,
Thanks to you,
TAXPAYER dummy.
Write to friends
in motherland,
Tell them
‘come, fast as you canâ
They come in turbans
and Ford trucks,
I buy big house
with welfare bucks.
They come here,
we live together,
More welfare checks,
it gets better!
Fourteen families,
they moving in,
But neighborâs patience
wearing thin.
Finally, white guy
moves away,
I buy his house,
and then I say,
“Find more aliens
for house to rent.”
In my yard
I put a tent.
Send for family
they just trash,
But they, too,
draw welfare cash!
Everything is
very good,
Soon we own
whole neighborhood.
We have hobby
it called breeding,
Welfare pay
for baby feeding.
Kids need dentist?
Wife need pills?
We get free!
We got no bills!
TAXPAYER crazy!
He pay all year,
To keep welfare
running here.
We think America
darn good place!
Too darn good
for white man race.
If they no like us,
they can scram,
Got lots of room
in Pakistan.

Anyway, it is right off of the deck and you just open the door and go down into it. We will be making benches and shelves for batteries, a weather radio, etc. and it will be a great place to put my onions and potatoes out of the garden.

Long John Edwards?

130 Just the Facts, Ma'am // May 24, 2007 at 10:51 pm
Did anyone (beside me) catch the speech at the closing of the House Session last Tuesday night given by Rep. Dana Rohrabacher from California? It was super outstanding…listing in great detail the shortcomings of the immigration bill.
After listening to the Presidentâs news conference praising the proposed bill, it is apparent he has absolutely no idea of what the hell is even it it! There are so many things which the American public is not aware of that if the MSM were to ever factually present all the details, there would be a complete uprising by the total population.
I have Mexicans in my family tree…married to my half-brothers/sisters…and I grew up with Mexicans as a legal teen-ager in California. However, back then, everyone was assimilating into the America we all knew and loved. The “Melting Pot” if you will.
What we have now is a group of criminals who do not want to swear allegiance to the United States, who want to make up their own words to our National Anthem and sing it in a foreign language and who want to completely ignore the rule of law and by-pass all the normal steps required for citizenship. These “out-laws” would never accept the term “citizen” of the United States. They have their own agenda: to get as much of the “good life” as they can and not have to work for it or spend any thing to get it….just have the benevolent American government give it to them!
Rush had a term for them on his show today, and I canât remember it specifically , but it was something like: “welfare slaves” or something like that. Maybe Fred will be able to correct the term.
JL3rd: Didnât respond to your post about the immigration bills as I donât know the differences between them. I just know that one was defeated, and I hope this one is also.
131 Just the Facts, Ma'am // May 24, 2007 at 10:59 pm
Anyone pissed off about the price of gasoline should read this: Thomas Sowellâs book ‘Basic Economics: A Citizens Guide to the Economyâ. It was referenced on Rushâs show today, specifically Chapter 2. Perhaps this and the knowledge that the environmentalist wackos are basically prohibiting us from become more energy independent could put an end to all the crazy comments made in the press and by those who donât know what they are talking about.
132 JamesonLewis3rd // May 25, 2007 at 6:49 am
I canât help but wonder what Bible Carter reads that inspires him to foment hatred of Christianity and The United States of America throughout the world with bald-faced lies.
Just one point (there are several rebuttals to this short article I could make): No Christian wants anybody to burn in hell; the very suggestion is ludicrous and an indictment of Carter himself-I think itâs called projection.

We have those in the West and East who say that the economy canât function without the slave labor and those in the center part of the country saying, “Abolish slavery!” There is going to be an uprising. It is already starting. This time, however, the cry is to send them back to their homeland and to stop shipping anymore in.
