His actions are not those I associate with the best of Christianity. Yes, we should try to help those in need and yes we should oppose injustice. But what he defines as oppression and injustice don't seem to turn up in my copy of the Gospels and Epistles, or in the Tanakh. <br />LittleRed1Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15907727.post-91970646929202444412011-04-30T22:33:41.656-04:002011-04-30T22:33:41.656-04:00Am I the only one who remembers that Jimmy Carter ...Am I the only one who remembers that Jimmy Carter ordered an embargo of grain sales to the Soviets in 1979? <br /><br />The first reference to the event that I found was on Google Books:<br /><br />International Business Law and Its Environment<br /> By Richard Schaffer, Filiberto Agusti, Beverley Earle<br /><br />p437.<br /><br />Last time I checked, even the Habitat For Humanity people were embarrassed to mention his name.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15907727.post-66427559882173677462011-04-30T12:56:22.179-04:002011-04-30T12:56:22.179-04:00Not as stupid as "Molotov, go sign a treaty w...<i><br /><br />Not as stupid as "Molotov, go sign a treaty with Hitler." ;) </i><br /><br />I honestly laughed out loud at that.<br /><br />JimAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15907727.post-50786532578716573582011-04-30T08:36:52.032-04:002011-04-30T08:36:52.032-04:00Annnd let us not forget that it was Jimmah that bl...Annnd let us not forget that it was Jimmah that blessed the "election" of Pugsley in Venezuela, lest there be violence otherwise.<br /><br />Dammit, that's ANOTHER grave I gotta go piss on.

As a governor he was ... well, I dunno, not being interested in Georgia politics of way back then. As President he was a well-meaning failure -- though I think not as much of a failure as some paint him, and much of his trouble was from circumstances beyond his control. For the first few years of his ex-presidency I recall him as something of a lovable bumbler, traveling round the country helping to throw up shacks for Habitat for Humanity. <br /><br />Sometime around the first Gulf War, though, he just flipped out completely, and ever since he's been an embarrassment. <br /><br />One other thing:<br /><br />Carter: "Well, one parallel is that the Revolutionary War, more than any other war up until recently, has been the most bloody war we‘ve fought."<br /><br />You'd think a governor of Georgia, who grew up in the Jim Crow era, would remember that the bloodiest war ever fought by Americans was the American Civil War.wolfwalkernoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15907727.post-24540340072643900212011-04-29T19:48:24.458-04:002011-04-29T19:48:24.458-04:00"...the Revolutionary War, more than any othe..."...the Revolutionary War, more than any other war up until recently, has been the most bloody war we‘ve fought."<br /><br />This is the most profoundly stupid thing I've ever heard a Georgian say.<br /><br />gviglobal village idiothttp://www.alpharubicon.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15907727.post-39804014212660905442011-04-29T19:42:31.052-04:002011-04-29T19:42:31.052-04:00For years I vacillated between "He's an i...For years I vacillated between "He's an ignorant, uninformed fool", and "He's just evil."<br /><br />However, even ignorant, uninformed fools eventually realize the error of their ways and make an effort to change them.<br /><br />Now I just think he's evil.
