How in the hell did this person get elected to be President?I am convinced that Jimmah was elected strictly because of his accent, and the CB craze that was going at the time. The sheeple somehow recognized him as a "10-4 good buddy" and thought it might be cool to have one as president.

Duh...
Who does dimwit think convinced the Brits that they couldn't hold on to their colonies?
To: notkerry
Gerald Ford: "The Soviet Union doesn't dominate Poland."
Jimmy Carter: "The British didn't dominate the colonies."
Talk about dumb and dumber?

Not sure if you had seen this. Didn't read thru all the responses. Someone needs to put a butterfly net over this idiot's head and shut him up.
He is beyond belief!

He also got the "bloodiest war" part wrong. That distinction belongs to the Late Unpleasantness.
He is right about one thing, though. The Brits could have avoided the war altogether -- and the Founding Fathers tried everything under the Sun to avoid a split before it became obvious the British weren't listening.

The statement is wrong how? The Founding Fathers initially didn't want a split with the mother country. They were eventually pushed to it by British ham-handedness.

That was the first time I had heard of the Revolutionary War as the bloodiest. I didn't think that was accurate, but figured with all the revisionist history they are teaching now maybe I had missed something.

President Nixon and the Republican was demonized and
his accomplishments negated by the likes of Dan Rather.
Watergate was to be the "coup de gras" for the
Republican Party.

Total deaths Revolutionary War (1775-1783) = 4,435
Total deaths Civil War (1861-1865) = 498,332
Looks like Carter wasn't paying attention in school.

in some ways the Revolutionary War could have been avoided. It was an unnecessary war. If the Revolutionary War could have been avoided, Carter could never have been President.

"Had the British Parliament been a little more sensitive to the colonials 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 nonviolent way. "
ROTFLMAO!!!!!

(President Jimmy Carter is a complete idiot .)
To: Sam Cree
The powerlust of the Democrat Party has, in its
over 40-year drive to create exclusive, class-warring,
automatic Democrat voting blocs, succeeded in convincing
a huge number of people they need "daddy" (the Democrat
Party) in power to "take care" of their every need.
Instead of calling out the best in people, the Democrat
Party has appealed to the lowest common denominator in
people.
A lot of people who voted Democrat once (for Carter) woke
up FAST after four years of his "malaise" and destructive
policies which had us in the mess that PRESIDENT REAGAN
got us out of by calling forth our best and brightest
tendencies.

I think another parallel is that in some ways the Revolutionary War could have been avoided. It was an unnecessary war.Insanity. Sheer insanity.
Just damn.
