The battle of New Orleans showed that British arrogance could not stand against free men.

It also showed the foolishness of marching some of the best-trained soldiers in the world armed with short-range muskets through an open field against Kentucky long rifles perched behind embankments.

And Carter was "portrayed" as a conservative southern governor. It was all a sham.

I'm Sorry, I'm sorry, I voted for him twice! Please someone forgive me before it's too late. Might be already- sorry! Oh Goodness I was so stupid. Confession over!

Besides the fact that his entire premise is moronic - He's wrong. The Civil War was far bloodier than the Revolution.

It was a lesson they should have learned at Bunker Hill. Moral: never underestimate your enemy.

You know, you hear the drivel that this idiot cotues to put forth and wonder if his family caught cancer on purpose...

Does anybody really think his Secret Service contingent will stop a bullet for him?

Remember when he went on national tv and acknowledged that the Soviets had lied to him and he was suprised and offended. I wasn't too politically engaged at the time but that tv spot scared me; Jimmah be gone!!!! I paid attention after that; how we survived that dimwit is beyond me (grace of God)!

I don't believe nuttin ole Goobers has to say.

He was a useless president and a bad leader.

Goobers had no more reason and qualification to be president than any of the others now on the loony left.

Thank God Goobers was term limited by the Republicans.

Has anything that Carter has ever said made any sense? This guy makes Gore and Kerry appear to be Savants.

. . . . 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.

Not only would we have had to wait 200 years to acquire "semi-independent" (Commonwealth) status, but we would have remained 13 agrarian colonies. No Midwest, no Rockies, no West Coast, no Alaska, no Hawaii, nothing. (Not to mention military, world-class universities, culture, industry, etc.)

What was Carter smoking? The Revolutionary War was a wonderfully dramatic tale in history. Isn't he grateful to see how it led to bigger & better things?

>>Sounds to me as though he's equating the U.S. colonies to modern-day terrorists.<<

That is EXACTLY what the stupid sumbitch is doing. That and setting himself up for another Nobel. I hope he lives to be 100, and never shuts up.

"how in the hell does this idiot [Jimmah] put his pants on without help?"

Uh, since none of us are there at the time, don't assume that he does. Remember how little the public knew about FDR's real condition?

Anyway, Jimmah is appalling without end. One of several true faces (ugh!) of the Democritical Party.

Oh...BTW, there were a group of colonial Americans who would have agreed with Jimmah - Tories.
