Will Jimmy Carter please just go away?

“So, how is it that nobody else ever seems to get called on the carpet for their lies and exaggerations? How is it, for instance, that every liberal from Ted Kennedy to Jesse Jackson can get away with pretending that American blacks are still living like slaves, and that four decades after the Civil Rights Act, the only thing keeping blacks out of the cotton fields are Democrats in Washington?

How is it that every rotten movie can get away with lying about how terrific it is? And, unlike other products, they don’t come with money-back guarantees.

And, finally, how is it that Jimmy Carter, that sanctimonious phony who was a disaster during his four years in the White House and a disgrace in the quarter of a century since, can pass himself off as equal parts statesman and saint?”

It is time to tell the truth. Either Jimmy Carter needs to be in a home for assisted living or he is a nut. I believe he is a nut. He had a failed term in the White House–and ever since then he wanted to prove why he failed. His economics destroyed jobs and families. His foreign policy enslaved millions. His defense policies killed millions. But he believes he was right, so why not denounce those that call terrorists, “terrorists”, instead of the Carter term, “freedom fighter”. If high taxes were bad, why not higher taxes to see if he just didn’t raise them enough.

No, Jimmie Carter has a problem. The public that listens to him, the radicals, the apologists, the supporters of big government and “terrorists are just misunderstood” create bigger problems. He should give the news on Saturday Night Live, that is his speed. Time for Jimmie Carter to get a dose of reality, or have someone be his caretaker, before he hurts himself–he has already hurt and killed millions with his views and policies. Do you think Carter is a great past President, or someone who refuses to admit reality?
