RIP Former President James Earl Carter, Jr


Sorry, he was a clueless moron with a broken moral compass, going to bat for brutal dictatorships like Castro and doing everything in his power to put Hamas and Hezbollah in charge in the ME. He was feckless and weak and perpetually on the wrong side of human rights abuse evaluations.

He did do some good with H4H, so RIP ...
I am not a fan, and it is impossible for me to be one. I lived through this idiot. For anyone that did not, imagine someone that does NOT have declining mental acuity that let little chit box Iran hold our whole Country hostage for over a year. That RUINED our economy, and suggested turning our thermostats up in summer months and down in winter months to solve the energy crisis. He was a moron, and on top of this gave the F’n Panama Canal away. He harmed the Country I love, so I cannot find the kind feelings some of you have. Probably was a decent man, but that and a quarter gets you a piece of gum in his economy.
 
RIP President Carter and prayers to hus famiky for comfort durung this time.

But, the last two posts are spot on. Many people give Carter a "pass" due to his "gentlemenly" attitude. He did alot of harm and was often on the wrong side of good allying himself with very bad people.

This all day, not sorry.

I feel very unChristain like . But it IS the way that I feel. The feeling I had that late night I got home bar hopping...to hear our service people had been killed trying to rescue our hostages STILL hurts. Most that died were from Hurlburt AFB where I live. Thank the Navy for not maintaining their planes, but one of the biggest culprits was that joint forces wanted recognition and in on the action, and we had not done much of joint forces training at this level at this time. HIGHLY reccomend the book by James Kyle.."Guts to try" which explains WHAT went wrong on this mission. INCREDIBLE book

Facts are facts Cap and they shouldn't be looked at any differently due to someone's passing.

Let's not forget giving away the Panama Canal. Can they enter the portal and we'll trade Puerto Rico for them? :oops:

The real peanut Carter

 
Jimmy Carter turned a lot of us into Republicans. He was the last Democrat I voted for and I thank God I had a chance to correct my mistake when Ronald Regan ran for President.

I know we are not to speak ill of the dead so I will hold my tongue. Let me say I am thankful Jimmy Carter made me see the light. He has recently been replaced as the worst U.S. President in my life. So thank you Jimmy Carter. America survived you.

My take is a little different. More important to honor the truth which speaks to legacy. I acknowledge both good and bad, but would be remiss not addressing how he made America less safe and our lives unnecessarily difficult ...
 
James Carter *was* the 2nd worst President in my life time (after Johnson)…. But Biden has knocked them both down a notch

Carter meant well, but I don’t think the radiation shielding in subs he served on is as good now, as his brain was obviously cooked
You've got my bottom 5 listed there if you add Obama and FDR as #5 ...

I understand the FDR, however maybe you can correct my thinking here. He has to get credit for preparing the USA for WWII and all that he did helping England when there was ZERO appetite to ever enter that war from Republicans or Democrats. I get the rest, but I wonder sometimes if someone like Hussein or FJB were president at that time how that all would have turned out.

Sure, maybe, but his presidency to me is marked by using fear and socialist policies that did not work to extend the war and continue as a megalomaniacal leader. He was also a huge antisemite and arrogant piece of shit, he's not even close to his bad as the top 4 on my list, but he still earns the number five spot on the worst of them ...

I am a WWII hobbiest. I never heard about socialist polices to prolong the war. Is there any info out there to read up on this? I love to educate myself on anything and everything WWII. It started with me with the airplanes as a hobby. Then I just kept reading on the entire war. So I am not challenging you because I do not believe you. I just want to educate myself better. Or some examples. ( if not to much trouble)

FDR banging his cousin, whom he married, was enough for me to have no respect for him.

All I am saying is, it is my opinion that he utilized socialist policies to stay in power and he avoided the war long enough for us to prolong it and eventually join it. Again, just my opinion. ...

Appreciate the response. I understand the “new deal”. We are paying for that garbage today and the toothpaste cannot be put back in the tube. Being fair, I think he did not have support of either party to join the war, and often thought he let Pearl get attacked so we could. Very coincidental no carriers were in post when they attacked.
