I am sorry that I offended human fecal matter by comparing it to former President Jimmy Carter. No form of excrement is as useless and stinky as Mr. Carter.
I stand corrected and am humbly sorry.
>>Don’t get me wrong, Grant wasn’t among the truly great Commander in Chiefs (Coolidge, Reagan and soon Sarah Palin and/or Ted Cruz) but he really doesn’t belong in the same ranking as O’bola, Franklin Diablo Roosevelt and the brainless Georgia Knotty Pine.<<
Perhaps I am little hard on Grant — he was purely clueless. But so was carter. In my heart if hearts I think jimmah was just an idiot but with no evil intent — all the others, including and especially obozo were actively working against the interests of the USA.
I do hope that fdr is burning in perdition’s flames for the evil he perpetrated on us all.
I have to add that his middle name was one of the very trivial reasons I opposed him with such vigor in '76. It reminded me of a fellow commie, Earl Warren of the SCOTUS. Along with saddling a kid with middle name of Wayne, can any good come from such an individual? :)
I respectfully -- but strongly disagree. I was well into my 30s during 1976 and perceived that the election of Carter posed a grave threat to America not because of his obvious lack of intelligence but due to a deliberate and malicious program on his part to weaken America.
While I'm stop just short of stating that he was a muzzie (Carter was NOT a Christian), he clearly was engaged in some form of taqiyya. All of his machinations were designed to ultimately destroy the land of his birth. (I will grant him that, he was born on Georgia soil but John Walker Lindh was also a native American as well). In short, James Earl Carter was the classic case of White Guilt run amok and with the seat of power at his disposal, given the means to cripple America. In that he succeeded in spite of his idiocy. President Ronald Reagan spent most of his first term undoing the "legacy" of lil' Jimmy Earl.
why did i think of the walking dead looking at that picture?
I've long seen that FReepers, being Patriots of superior moral character and lofty class, are unfailingly respectful on threads when someone passes, even to political enemies. While I do not wish that the reprehensible KKKarter succumbs imminently, when his time comes, and it surely will, I'll simply not utter a solitary word. As Carl Showalter so succinctly phrased it:
Silence. Just total ******* silence. Total silence.
Hale-Bopp!!! That was the last time I allowed myself to get sucked into ‘impending end of the planet’ waiting games. After the Hale-Bopp nothing-burger, I even began listening to less Art Bell, I was so disgusted with myself for taking the bait again and again. Two years later, there was another scare about the change of the millenia, what would the computers do? How many would be dead on Jan 1 2000? Another nothing-burger.

And I respect your analysis. It took a long time for me to look at all the data on jimmah over lo these many years (17% mortgages anyone?)
I just could not arrive at your conclusion but I certainly glanced aside at it.
But he certainly set the stage for 9/11 and klintoon made the table for it.
So they shall be known for all their works.
Thank you FRiend for not only a courteous response but one that was also quite thought-provoking. In the near-endless cascade of failures during the Carter regime, I had completely forgot about the 17% mortgage rates that you recalled. By that time, I had already paid it off so it didn't directly me. That said, the overall economy of those dark years caused widespread suffering even for those who were responsible, prudent and thrifty.
90 years old and still doesn’t get it. He’s no longer the
worst president in American history. He has been bested
by the great Obama, who has been deemed the worst head of
state in the history of mankind. Carter needs to lighten up,
he is what he always has been a big pile of #2.
Carter will be forgotten because the Obama is going to
take his place as the next unridable liberal bigmouth.
He has the same look in his eyes as Vladimir Lenin did
in his old age. That same psychotic socialist look.
That “I still don’t know what the point is I’m trying to
make” look.
“17% mortgage rates..”
My dad was a builder. There was a span of two years where he built and sold two town homes in the late 70’s. Nobody was buying. Of course he had a lot of debt (at those high rates) when he bought the property and was midway through the project. He held on though, and made out pretty well in the end. Lots of lean years though.
For those two years he held on to his two best carpenters by finding odd jobs for them, and working on our house. He ended up going back to previous homes he had built over the years to have them do odd jobs and remodels. The owner would pay for the materials and half the carpenters’ wages. My dad would cover the other half.
But, it kept the carpenters busy and keeping food on their table, and they were around when things picked up again. I didn’t hear of that until long after my old man had died.
It would explain the one conversation with one of the carpenters (Bob) while working on the project (~1980). I asked him what he would do if the strikers picketed my dad’s job. “I’d come to work. And if they tried to stop me - another good reason to drive a big pickup! Your dad’s been good to me.”
Bob made the pine casket for my dad. Even used some leftover materials from the last project. My brother and I drove the casket to the funeral home in my dad’s station wagon.
Speaking of station wagons - how about those gas lines!?
White dudes named Oswald and Tippit come to mind.
in the Dallas ghetto of Oak Cliff
********************
Whoa! That’s a really broad brush you’re using. Exeter Ave. is deep in South Oak Cliff. ALL of Oak Cliff is not ghetto.
That area starting becoming ‘ghetto’ in the late 1950s, when block-buster minorities began moving in. White flight occurred which led to many of the suburbs North of Dallas.
I grew up in Northwest Oak Cliff and lived there after the Navy until 1969. Obviously, it’s not as nice of an area as it was decades ago, but still doesn’t qualify as a ghetto.
Otherwise, I agree with your comments regarding Carter!
In spite of Carter's irrational hatred of Israel, it's not a total certainty that he's an islamist (unlike hussien who unquestionably is a member of satan's sect). Consequently, for all of his unspeakable sins and crimes while functioning (to use the term somewhat loosely) as the Chief Executive of America, James Earl still has a slim chance of redemption -- not in the eyes of American Patriots but in the Eyes of the Lord. Before he's cast into the pit of eternal torment and endless suffering, Carter needs to sincerely repent and ask Almighty God for His Abundant Mercy and Forgiveness. As a doddering, feeble old relic, his time is limited so decisive action (never his strong suit) is urgently needed. He needs to quit hammering nails and get on his knees.
I've only been here since the 80s so my view is borne of more recent history, thus my characterization of Oak Cliff as a ghetto. All of know of it is the contemporary times as an unsavory place with a lot of holder's people and illegal mexicans. It's a shame because some of the region's most interesting terrain is found there as well as beautiful shade trees and lush vegetation.
When I chat with some of the Texas natives of my age (mid 70s) at my church, they talk of the old Old Cliff as the section where the well-to-do used to live. And they add that negro districts used to be on the north side of the Trinity, places like Hamilton Park. Does that square with what you remember?
Wilson deserves to be up there—the Fed, the League of Nations, WW I.
I also think that there is a distinction between incompetent and malicious, with malicious being worse, which should work in Carter’s favour.
Does that square with what you remember?

Yep. My folks bought a newly built house in OC in ‘43, when I was 1 y/o. During the 1940 to 1965 era, OC was primarily white, and the South Oak Cliff and Kessler Park areas had some of the most expensive homes. ....Blacks and Mexicans largely lived in South Dallas; on the East side of the Trinity River. ...There were no blacks in my elem., jr. hs. or sr. hs., and I only recall a handfull of Mexicans in HS at Sunset in ‘60.
About a dozen years ago, my younger sister and I took my daughter and grandkids on a drive through the old neighborhood. It was still in pretty good shape, but many of the open yards we knew as kids had been enclosed with chainlink fences and there were bars on windows and doors. The area was probably 90% hispanic then. ....Keep in mind that most of those houses were built in the 1930-1950 time period, so are now 60-80 years old, and small. Our house was 800 sq.ft. ...People buy houses that they can afford.
Grow up... /S
LOL
No. Carter, although an evil baby-murderer, anti-Semite, and Commie, is reputedly a “clean liver.” Bathhouse Barry isn’t going to make it to 90.
