John Jimmah Carter Kerry

WTF are we to do with Jimmah Carter? I mean he just keeps getting loonier by the day. After his failed presidency he did try to rehabilitate himself with Habitat For Humanity and that was good. He started running around the world making sure elections were clean and I thought that was good until I found out how many times he'd been snookered. The last time was in Venezuela. Now he runs around the world telling everyone how bad the United States is. He got a Nobel Peace Prize for that.

He was on Hardball the other night and he said (I'm not making this up) that the Revolutionary War was unnecessary! Here is the Matthews question and Jimmah's answer:

MATTHEWS: Let me ask you the question about – this is going to cause some trouble with people but as an historian now and studying the Revolutionary War as it was fought out in the South in those last years of the War, insurgency against a powerful British force. Do you see any parallels between the fighting that we did on our side and the fighting that is going on in Iraq today?

(Sounds like Chris is channeling Michael Moore.)

Carter: Well, one parallel is that the Revolutionary War more than any other war until recently has been the most bloody war we’ve fought. I think another parallel is that in some ways the Revolutionary War could have been avoided. It was an unnecessary war. Had the British Parliament been a little more sensitive to the colonial’s really legitimate complaints and requests the war could have been avoided completely and of course now we would have been a free country now as is Canada and India and Australia, having gotten our independence in a non-violent way. I think in many ways the British were very misled in going to war against America and in trying to enforce their will on people who were quite different from them at the time.

Jimmah starts out on the wrong foot. The Revolutionary War was one of the least bloody wars we have ever fought. In order of deaths:

Civil War - 558,000
World War II - 407,000
World War I - 116,700
Viet Nam - 58,100
Mexican War - 13,300
Revolutionary War - 4435

Here's my source.

These are all American casualties so maybe we killed a shitload of Brits, but I doubt it. And didja notice how he said Parliament should have been more sensitive to the colonials' complaints? Geez! I'm glad there were no Dimocrats back then and don't give me any shit about Jefferson being a Dimocrat. He wouldn't recognize todays' Dimocrat Party. He was more in tune with Ronald Reagan. He wanted a small central gummint with power devolving to the states. If he were alive today he would probably want a revolution against our current gummint.

Jimmah is so full of shit that you could just unscrew his head and dip it out. Had we remained British colonies the original 13 would in all probability have been an entirely different country than the rest of the United States. England would not have been able to exert any control past the Appalachian Mountains and the territories would have probably formed their own political entity.

That brings me to an op-ed in Wednesday's Atlanta Urinal and Constipation by some booger eatin' moh-ron named Steve Berman. He says that Jews should vote for Kerry because he could mediate between Israel and the Palestinians just like Jimmah did between Egypt and Israel. He used the example of cooperation between Egypt and Israel after recent hotel bombing.

Carter, as president, pushed, cajoled and arm-twisted to bring Egyptian President Anwar Sadat and Israeli Prime Minister Menachem Begin to the peace table. His 1978 Camp David accords were directly responsible for the scene of cooperation we were witnessing.

Got news for you Steve. It was Anwar Sadat who started the peace process by flying to Jerusalem. He actually wanted peace and was willing to work for it. He was also killed for it by (guess who?) Islamic fanatics. We're paying Egypt $3 billion a year to be nice to Israel.

Somehow Steve got off his topic in this paragraph.

The Bush administration's rejection of the environmentally important Kyoto Protocol, its opposition to promoting stem cell research and reproductive choice, its far too cozy relationship with the religious right, which would destroy the wall separating church and state, all tell American Jewish voters that Kerry is the logical choice for president.

Huh? WTF? There is so much wrong with this paragraph that I don't know where to start.

Kyoto - Steve are you willing to give up all of your creature comforts and watch this country become a Third World nation? That's what Kyoto would do. And if it is such a great treaty why did the Senate vote it down 98-0? Kerry either voted no or was out windsurfing that day.

Stem cells - What does that have to do with Israel?

Abortion - non sequiter.

Cozy relation with the religious right - The strongest supporter of Israel happens to be the religious right. It's the left wing liberals who adore Yasser Arafat and bemoan the plight of those poor Palestinians.

If anything can be learned from the death in Taba, it is that an activist president who is committed to finding peace in the mold of Carter is a necessity. Kerry holds the promise for the future where there is presently none.

There you have it. He thinks Flipper will be an activist president in the mold of Jimmah Carter. Think about it. Flipper wants to create alliances and be a good member of the international community.

Remember this number: 444. That's how many days American diplomats were held, in violation of international law, by Iranian "students". WTF did the international community do for us? WTF did Jimmah Carter do? The international community did nothing and Jimmah Carter blustered and looked weak and indecisive which, of course, he was. I expect nothing better from Lurch. Maybe he could talk and gesture them to death.

There will be no peace in the Middle East until the Palestinian leadership accepts that Israel is here to stay. A peace partnership needs all members wanting peace. Yasser Arafat walked away from the last peace negotiations and started the current intafada.

The roadmap to peace stated that the Palestinians needed to rein in terrorism. They didn't. That's it. Yasser Arafat doesn't want peace. He wants the destruction of Israel. He thinks Kerry is another Jimmah Carter. That's why he wants him to win.

John Kerry is another Jimmah Carter. That's all we need to know. The Poodle will do for the United States in 2005-2008 What Jimmah Carter did for the United Statres in 1977-1980. If he gets elected we better pray that there is another Ronald Reagan in the wings.

We do not need four years of another Jimmah Carter.
