It's an embarrassment I don't think we'll ever live down.

Yes we did live it down when Zell Miller went to D.C. and reported how corrupt the Democrats there were. I think his "spitballs" comment will be remembered for the next several decades.

That lime green 'master volume' has appeared again. I'm going to bed. It will not go away without rebooting, so I am shutting down for this night.

I had trouble reading the article. To portray Castro and Chavez as good, along with Carter...it's just too much.

Tony Snow pointed out that with Carter as president, communism enjoyed its greatest expansion since WWII.

You're most welcome. I stumped for Reagan when he ran against Carter, and I was only 11 in 1980. I knew, even as a kid, that Carter was a horrible person who was destroying my country.

I saw that book and knew I had to have it. Now I tell everyone I know to buy it and digest it. It will help combat those idiots who still see him as a "great" man.

Carter did more to destroy this country than the KGB. Carter sold the Shah down the river and gave us present day Iran. Carter gave away the Panama Canal and lost a security resource that our naval ships used to get from the Atlantic to the Pacific. He viscerated our military, destroyed our energy policies, I mean, I could go on and on about what destruction this one termer did to our country.

Sorry about the rant, Carter makes me see red, and that pun was intended.....lol

some American political leaders. . . have elevated the small and militarily impotent nation of Cuba as one of the greatest threats to our nation's security and culture. . .

And so it would have been, and still be, if that pusillanimous wretch Jimmy Carter had been President at the time of the Cuban missile crisis.

The book is doing so well it's being sold on Overstock.com

It seems not many people are even interested in it with a huge discount! I guess most people know a HYPOCRITE when they see one!





Our Endangered Values : America`s Moral Crisis
by Carter, Jimmy

Our Endangered Values


PUBLISHER WEEKLY Review ...

After several books on spirituality and homespun values (most recently Sharing Good Times ), President Carter turns his attention to the political arena. He is gravely concerned by recent trends in conservatism, many of which, he argues, stem from the religious right's openly political agenda. Criticizing Christian fundamentalists for their "rigidity, domination and exclusion," he suggests that their open hostility toward a range of sinners (including homosexuals and the federal judiciary) runs counter to America's legacy of democratic freedom. Carter speaks eloquently of how his own faith has shaped his moral vision and of how he has struggled to reconcile his own values with the Southern Baptist church's transformation under increasingly conservative leadership. He also makes resonant connections between religion and political activism, as when he points out that the Lord's Prayer is a call for "an end to political and economic injustice within worldly regimes." Too much of the book, however, is a scattershot catalogue of standard liberal gripes against the current administration. Throwing in everything from human rights abuses at Abu Ghraib to global warming, Carter spreads himself too thin over talking points that have already been covered extensively. Agent, Lynn Nesbit.

Our Endangered Patience
By Ben Johnson
FrontPageMagazine.com | November 15, 2005

The 39th president has been testing our endangered patience by delivering homilettes on any mainstream media outlet that will have him (which is all of them), hawking his newest book, Our Endangered Values: America’s Moral Crisis – this week’s number one New York Times bestseller. In the Left’s latest, lamest appeal to the “values voters” who tipped the 2004 election, Jimmy Carter tells them an unpleasant truth: they are all bloodthirsty, hard-hearted, racist, sexist, bastards who are destroying the world and making Baby Jesus cry.

In his tome, Carter blames all the world’s ills on the rise of “fundamentalism.” Appearing on CNBC’s “Tim Russert Show” on Saturday, November 5, Carter reminisced that he saw such fundamentalism “when the Ayatollah Khomeini rejected any kind of reasonable interpretation of the Koran and took American hostages” – and now it’s spreading among Christian conservatives. Carter defines fundamentalists as “authoritarian males who consider themselves to be superior to others” and “have an overwhelming commitment to subjugate women.” They believe “they are right and that anyone who contradicts them is ignorant and possibly evil…They are often angry and sometimes resort to verbal or even physical abuse against those who interfere with the implementation of their agenda.” They tend “to demagogue emotional issues” and view “efforts to resolve differences as signs of weakness.” [1] When challenged whether he actually meant Christians were little Ayatollahs, Carter affirmed, “all of those things are compatible [with Christian fundamentalism], yes.” He explained to Russert that the sway of fundamentalism in the South derives “from more ancient times, 30, 40, 50 years ago,” – ancient? – “from racism, when whites dominated blacks.”

Hey, I lived in the Canal Zone for four years. His giving away that canal was just UN--FRIGGIN--BELIEVABLE.

I believe that I'll have to brush up on my Carter information. I need a quick-draw list to hit the liberals with.

Carter slanders his own country with the relish of a banished head of state, claiming after 9/11, “the U.S. government overreacted by detaining more than twelve hundred innocent men.” [5] The neocons “decided to violate” the Geneva Conventions, because they consider enemy combatants “subhuman.” [6] Carter intimates America tortures children, based on erroneous statements of Amnesty International and the International Committee of the Red Cross, lying, “It has been confirmed by U.S. officials that many have been physically abused.”


http://tinyurl.com/cvvsh



In the last chapter, he lays all his cards on the table: “[T]he greatest challenge we face [in this millennium] is the growing chasm between the rich and poor people on earth.” Among his solutions: “getting to know the poor.” [13] You may think America is compassionate and philanthropic, but “we are, in fact, the stingiest of all industrialized nations.” [14] This, to him, presents a far more troubling problem than a cadre of thugs dedicated to imposing a medieval religio-political philosophy upon the entire world, while spilling as much American, Western, and “infidel” blood as possible.

Many thanks for that information!!

Why doesn't Carter name Clinton as a fundamentalist? He fits Carter's description!
