Jimmy Carter Unleashed: Russians Didn't Alter Election, Obama Didn't Deliver, We Didn't Vote For Hil

The left agrees with Carter on most issues, especially as Carter is no liberal and thus doesn't buy into the liberal (aka closet conservative) MSM spin on why Trump was elected.

Carter is a national treasure, our greatest living president, and one of the greatest presidents in our history.

Brilliant and spot on.

 

The party has been cr*pping on them for years.

The party abandoned progressive values decades ago, and despises Carter for his intelligence, decency and insight.

The party embraces monstrosities like the Clintons and empty suits like Obama.

Next up on the national stage?

The revolting Kamala Harris.

 

Carter's been speaking truth to power for decades now, and is the most highly respected living president for good reason.

As noted, he's a national treasure.

 

Not a liberal, but a progressive social democrat.

HUGE difference.

And his governance style was not appropriate and inflexible sad to say.

 

Awesome.

Carter has OBVIOUSLY gone a bit SENILE (at the age of 93).

That said, it is so great to see the RW embracing Carter.

Much like the Nazis embraced France's 84-year-old Marshal Petain in 1940.

Great job, RW Fever Swamp.

Channeling the Nazi's love for Petain (and laying it on Jimmy).

That is all.

 

He's always been this way - that's one reason he's so widely admired.

Except by his party of course - they abandoned progressive values decades ago.

 

The left loves Jimmy.

His party - and liberals - despise him.

 

Jimmy IS the left; he's trying to tell his party and the liberals to listen, and embrace progressive values rather than remaining the OTHER party of decay and destruction.

 

LOL. That's Jimmy. I love the guy, whether I agree with him or not. He says what he thinks, if someone actually asks. But folks have to remember to ask him and then print it. he is a lot more interesting than the either Bush or Bill Clinton, who tends to be predictable. I think its funny how partisans switch sides periodically on Jimmy, depending on the story. Some want to laud him as the conscience of America and the other half hint that he is losing some of his marbles. Then the sides switch. I remember how much trouble he got in for comparing Israel treatment of Palestinian Israelis to apartheid. Dems did not even want him at that years' convention! I remember when he said he'd rather have Trump as President over Cruz, because he was not an ideologically bound, "Trump is more 'flexible'.

I am telling you all. He may be wrong. He may be embarrassing, but he has not lost his marbles. Sometimes he is still the shrewdest voice in the roon.

He certainly has moved to the left in the last twenty years. Not surprised he voted for Sanders.

 

"Jimmy IS the left"?

Kind of like how "Eminem IS Black America"?

Got it.

 

Yes.

No.

I seriously doubt it.

 

The above post is a perfect example of binary politics in action. When faced with a loyal party member suddenly deviating from standard beliefs, demonize him. Heck, even go full-Godwin on him. It simply is not possible for a loyal party member to have a dissenting opinion and not be a traitor, any more than a drone can accept it as such without being triggered. The triggered, looking for a cause - because differing opinions are simply not allowed in the hive-mind - must look for other answers, and surely senility or Naziism must be the cause.

Oh, and before any drones start saying that I only liked Carter AFTER his quote in the OP, let's get in the WABAC machine and see what I said five years ago:

 

The most admired living president for a reason.

 

he has not lost much upstairs. He just does not care what the 'party line' is anymore and he does not care what specific interests he gores.

 

I think it was Art Linkletter who once said (more or less) if you want a completely honest answer to a question, ask kids under five and people over 80.

 

I consider Jimmy Carter our worst modern president and truly despise him. More than obama, more than Clinton. I can't remember the last time I agreed with anything he said - until this.

 

In boyish gleee I ask about this Trump position.

Tell us.

 

Links to his senility, AJ.

 

The Left has no interest in what old white men have to say.

They are just waiting for them to die.

 

Carter is an honest person. Which is why he was out of place in Washington DC.

 

If our leftists comment on this at all they will aim their replies toward how sweet Jimmy is by nature but how out of touch he is with modern politics and how at his age he fails to grasp the subtle but vital nuances of current leftist ideology and politics or in other words they will go ageist on his behind.

 

So in other words in regards to Carter's comments; you've got nothing? Sweet!

 

No, and that's because they went all in both politically and emotionally back during 2008 on their decisive hate mongering and struggling to divide this nation according to race, creed, and sexual orientation to the very brink of igniting internal national conflicts and now they have got no way to retreat from that position as they totter on the brink of self destruction as a party without admitting that it was all just cynical politics on the part of their leadership mated to hysteria and non-thinking emotionalism on the part of their supporters. They have left themselves no way to retreat and nor -- in any meaningful manner -- to move forward in such a way as not to cause themselves further harm as a party.

 

I posted about Carter on a different thread yesterday. Let's see what the early morning Gatewood can come up with on the subject today. Jimmy Carter served this nation in the military and held the rank of commander as a nuclear engineer on submarines to boot and thus -- unlike the high I.Q. and intellectual accomplishments claimed for Barack Obama by people who did no meaningful vetting of Barack -- Jimmy Carter actually has real and proven intellectual chops and genuinely exhibited love of nation; that and his Left of Center idealism is based on the principles of the Bible rather than those of radical leftist nation hater Socialists and Marxists and professional race-baiters and agitators; or in other words, Jimmy Carters leftism is a whole order of magnitude different from that of Barack Obama.

This is undoubtedly why the Left's Narcissist-In-Chief, Obama, was the only sitting president since Jimmy Carter left office not to either call up Carter or meet with him to ask his advice on some issues or ask him to do something that only Jimmy Carter -- the ambassador's ambassador could hope to accomplish. This means that Ronald Reagan and G.H. Bush and Bill Clinton and G.W. Bush all did interact with Jimmy Carter at least once in this manner while Obama never did. Interesting, eh?

All that aside, the second worst president in modern U.S. history -- Jimmy Carter -- stood heads and shoulders above the worst U.S. president in modern U.S. history -- Barack Obama -- because unlike Barack, there was nothing phony or cynical about Carter. Ironically, both presidents were in way over their heads in that office; but for entirely different reasons.

 

Strange to see that Carter and our conservative friends are all of a sudden bed fellows. Wait, though, when he unleashes on anti-social GOP policies again, then he is reverted into the devil.

As to the OP, I fully agree with Carter except for point 4. Trump just provides so much fodder for the Media that they can't ignore. After all, they are in it to make money, not to be nice to the president. It tales two to tango. Trump would be nothing without the media.

But, Carter is spot on with respect to Obama and Hillary. Obama became a centrist as soon as he came into office. The worst parts were the quick folding on the public option, keeping Guantanamo bay open, against promises, and the inability to hold the people who were responsible for the 2008 crash accountable.

As for Hillary, nobody liked her. That's why she lost the election.
