Jimmy Carter

This man just needs to fade into obscurity. Almost every time he opens his mouth he makes another controversial statement. Today's comment was that the majority of people that oppose Uncle Barack's policies are doing so for no other reason than their racist thoughts. If you ask me, as you should, Mr. Carter is just trying to stay on TV by making these idiotic remarks.

Let's look at the history of our former president, shall we? This is the guy who while he was president, the unemployment rate went over %10, interest rates for a home loan were at %21 and our embassy in Tehran had been held hostage for 444 days. One hell of a job, wasn't it? Thankfully he was only a one term president.

Since he left office Mr. Carter has authored several books and spends a great deal of time doing charitable works with the Habitat for Humanity. Hats off to Mr. Carter for the HFH works, but he needs to stop writing. I believe it was his latest book that called for a Palestinian state. Israel has been one of our closest allies over the last 60 years and here he is calling for them to give up part of their country to appease the Palestinians. There are only two words for that, in-sane.

Let's see if I can get the history of Israel right. They came about after WW2 when Great Britain carved out a piece of the middle east. Before that happened it was the Jewish folks that were throwing bombs and the like. Now they are the target of the bombs. I don't agree with the Jews for being the bomb throwers just like I don't agree with the Palestinians now. Hamas is a terrorist group and should be treated as such. Jimmy Carter thinks he should have meetings with these guys and give them credence. Foolish.

Now with his calling folks racist for disagreeing with our current president, he should really consider just retiring from public view and quit thinking that people actually give a damn about what he has to say. Granted he is a private citizen now, but he is also a former president. How he is acting is certainly not presidential. It's not even decent.

Today Robert Gibbs, my favorite person in the world, said that the president doesn't agree with Carter's statements about folks being racist. Good for the president. At last something we can agree on. Hard to believe, isn't it?

The fact that the former president thinks that I'm a racist is deeply offensive to me. I wasn't raised that way and certainly don't think that way now. The only group of people I have a problem with are criminals. Ok, and the folks that refuse to do anything for themselves and think that the government only exists to take care of them. If that makes me a bigot, then ok. But I don't think it does.

So the only thing I have to say to former president Jimmy Carter is, go back to Georgia, farm your nuts, build your houses and shut the hell up.

And stay away from the Billy Beer.
