In addition to all his other faults, he's mixing three patterns in what he's wearing on the cover of that book--a definite fashion no-no.

What an asshole. I'm glad there's a book about what a piece of shit this guy is.

His whole family is like that. His dipshit son moved to my state FROM BERMUDA, for the express purpose of running for a Senate seat. He was handily defeated, and thank God. His most prominent quote from the campaign was "I'll admit I'm a carpetbagger, but I want to be YOUR carpetbagger."

FUCK YOU, JACK, YOU OPPORTUNISTIC COCKSLIME!

I want someone who will represent my state in the Senate, not an asshole who's just looking to secure a convenient Senate seat. Goddamn, Jack, I dislike politicians enough; do you really think you'll get my vote by coming into my state and perpetuating stereotypes? Fuck off and die.

But I digress. My point is that the whole Carter family is just like their daddy. So we have at least one more generation of this horseshit to look forward to.

Fun!

I might need to take a look at this book. It will just piss me off but what the hell.

Geez, Fuckhead, good thing you don't live in New York with St. Hillary as your savior, I mean senator...

I'm ashamed that he is a Naval Academy grad and that he has anything whatsoever to do with my Navy. What a waste.

Bought it (30 seconds ago).

Dimmy Carter proved himself a disgrace to America in 1979 and nothing has changed. He was a stupid clod then and still is.

I also am glad that I don't live in New York. If someone like Hillary were my senator, I'd just have to move out of state, and then I'd have to blame her for that expense too.

Fuckhead:

YOU graduated exactly-where in the Naval Academy?

7th? First? 232nd?

Give it a break lest I come down on you with both feet! I'll have no disparagement of ANYONE who actually served (and I don't give a rat's ass if it was "O" or "E")!

WATCH Yourself, Young Man!

You come dangerous-close to diss-ing those close to my health & hearth! FINE as far as that goes, but be prepared to defend your 'view' of things vis-a-vis EXPERIENCE here!

Better yet: TELL ME how it's "s'posed to be!"

I've heard it all before, but I'm willing to listen to YOUR interpretation.

I'm an immoral on a moral channel; before you challenge your elders, what, exactly, do you espouse for someone like me?

Dan S.,

You stated: "I'll have no disparagement of ANYONE who actually served."

That is painting your support with an awfully wide brush. Your statement would indicate that military service would inoculate one from future criticism regardless of future behavior. So you would have no disparagement of Benedict Arnold, Lee H. Oswald, Timothy McVeigh? Bullshit. Serving in the military should be applauded, but don't go over board. Carter was in the Navy for a few years and then asked to get out of his commitment when his dad died so he could go take care of the family farm. We aren't talking about Sgt York or Audie Murphy here. We're talking about a guy who was in the Navy 50 some years ago and for the last 26 years has been a bitter loser who has worked to undermine every president who followed him in office. He has embarrassed all of us with his anti-Semitism.

Zeb Quinn :

His daddy gave him an honorable discharge from an undesireable from the Nave. It was the very first paper that his daddy signed after being sworn in.

I disagree that Carter is entirely responsible for creating the party that gave us Clintoon and Kerry. I tend to believe that he was simply the first and worst product of that party. What he did give us was a revitalized Republican party. After Nixon the repubs were on the ropes and prime to be eliminated. The dems could have elected anybody, and just to prove it, they elected peanut brain. There was something horribly wrong with the dems already, and like a cancer, it was beneith the surface and invisible. With Carter, the malignant antiAmericanism came close to the surface and we got our first glimse of what was to come. Unfortunately most people then viewed him as an aberration rather than the new dumbascrap.
Dan, I can have my say. I served in the military for 21 years. I was both an E and an O, having graduated from OCS after thirteen years enlisted.
Oh, and I graduated 2nd in my class. My spelling, which sucks, was what kept me out of the #1 spot.

Squidly,
The three patterns he should be mixing are stainless handcuffs, a hemp rope, and a black blindfold.

Now, you just hold the phone there for a minute, DanS.

No disparagement of anyone who served? That's odd. I didn't hear you say anything when I made disparaging comments about John Kerry not too long ago. I find your lack of consistency disturbing.

If you had bothered to read more than 90% of my comments here before blindly attacking me, you would know that I'm probably about as pro-military as you can get. I honor ALL military service, no matter who served. In previous posts, I've thanked you for your service. Your family, too. I'll thank you again here. I respect that you served your country. That won't change.

But guess what, Dan? Respect can be lost. Many politicians have lost mine. I still acknowledge their service as an honorable thing, but that certainly doesn't excuse the distasteful things they've done since. No one gets a free pass, Dan. Actions subsequent to the military still count. And if you really think they should be allowed to hide behind their military record in order to use it as an excuse for future despicable behavior, then no amount of "experience" is going to win me over to your warped view of the world. I believe in personal accountability, military service or no. To hold people immune from that just because they served in the military is ludicrous.

How's that for how it's "s'posed" to be?

Dan, I never challenged you, as you seem to think. But I find numerous examples of my "elders" who are perfectly subject to challenge on any given day. Most of Congress would be a perfect example.

So frankly, you can "come down" on me with as many "feet" as you like. Until you start making more sense, I doubt they'll hurt much.

You're the man fuckhead! Don't take any prisoners!

The Navy understands ... Ronald Reagan gets a nuclear powered aircraft carrier named after him, and Jimmah Carter gets a submarine named after him. The good news is that the submarine is seldom seen (mostly its underwater), and the U.S.S. Reagan is always seen! The Navy has a great sense of humor!

Jeremy has it profoundly right, both about f*cked-up Dhimmicrats like Carter and about the problem going earlier and deeper. I was there, when Nixon got his 1972 landslide victory against an earlier DUmmycrat named George S. McGovern. This former war hero ran for President as the first cut-and-run Yellowcrat, and his campaign was unique and seminal. He put together a national grass-roots campaign, a stealth campaign to "steal" the nomination from the party bosses who ruled the Democratic Party of Wilson, Roosevelt, and Truman. Parents of today's "red diaper doper babies" were radical leftists in the Viet Nam era anti war movement who flooded local Democrat caucuses and took over the party. I personally knew the tie-dyed set in my town who played their part in the "revolution." All across the country, hippies and yippies packed party organization meetings and prevailed over former local leaders. That, as much as anything, guaranteed that McGovern would be unelectable. Here is the meat, though. The McGovernistas changed all the party rules, to keep the old political bosses out of control. The Democrat Party has been ruled by its far left loony bin ever since.

And DanS is S-for-Sh*t if he doesn't come back with his own class rank at the academy. Not that class standings mean anything once you get into the "real world."

Generals Custer and Pickett were "Goats" at the bottom of their classes. U. S. Grant and Dwight Eisenhower were middlin', and McArthur was near the top, like Robert E. Lee. Standing at the Academy does not predict success or guarantee an honorable subsequent career.

Am I the only one that thinks the cover pose makes him look like he could be Slick Willie's daddy?

I'll have no disparagement of ANYONE who actually served

Even if they flew the incredibly unsafe F-102 Delta Dart?

I normally ignore DanS.'s posts, but I gotta comment on this.

I agree with everyone else here: military service is good, but it does not give anyone a free pass for anything. SGT Hasan Karim Akbar, United States Army, killed 2 US Army officers and wounded 14 other US Soldiers on 23 March 2003. Shall we not disparage him? Does he deserve our respect for his "service" to his country?

Pull your head out, Dan, or you risk being labeled an ex-Marine.

Dan S.......

Call your doctor,your medication is out of kilter again. If you are a traitor you are a rotton bastard regardless of what branch of the service you served in or for how long.

Actually Jimmah Carter can be best described as a perfect likeness of the north end of a south bound horse.

Unix-Jedi - Touche

DanS - I guess that means you cannot disparage Bush, right?

While I'll never willingly disparage another mans service, Akbar doesn't even deserve the title of ex-military let alone veteran. For just serving you get a home loan and certain other bennies, that doesn't excuse you from lack of common sense or foresaking your brethern. The biggest problem with most politicians is that they forget where they come from. They get tied up in the jungle(or desert depending on your war)that is Washington D.C. and then they let it go to their head, like they have real power and then it's done. The only real power America has is it's VETERANS, ableitly some use their status as a stepping stone and some wear it like a cross that is wearing them down. Admittedly that sounds bad but I do volunteer work for the VFW and The Legion. The vets at the V.A. appreciate everything but some of the boys at the canteen think they walk on water because of their vet status. Jimmy Carter reminds me of those boys at the canteen, "listen to me I'm a Veteran". If he wants to impress me do 4 days a month out at a V.A. Hospital cleaning rooms and taking care of people who would actually appreciate someone taking time to help an old man(4 days a month is all I can afford to take off of work, I do my best) I'm starting to ramble, sorry, everybody talks nobody acts, "remember your past or you shall be doomed to repeat your past"
