Jimmy Carter’s Blame Game
Front Page Magazine ^ | 08 August 2006 | Lowell Ponte

Posted on 08/08/2006 5:17:02 AM PDT by unionblue83

Earlier this month in a Washington Post Op-Ed article Jimmy Carter blamed the current violence in Lebanon and Gaza on Israel, which had purportedly violated “key U.N. resolutions…by occupying Arab lands and oppressing Palestinians.” He got through an entire article without ever mentioning that Lebanon had failed to comply with the 2004 United Nations Security Council Resolution 1559, which called on Lebanon to disarm the terrorist group Hezbollah whose members now sit in its legislature and cabinet.

Last February 20 in another Washington Post piece Mr. Carter attacked Israel for withholding tax revenues from the new Palestinian Authority government following its takeover by the terrorist group Hamas. Mr. Carter described rocket-throwing Hamas as “militants” who might be provoked to cause “devastating consequences” as a result of American “collusion” with Israel.

Days ago President Carter wrote again that Israel should “withdraw from all Lebanese territory, including Shebaa Farms” (a region regarded by the U.N. as Syrian, not Lebanese land).

Too much of a bad thing, these editorials remind us that Mr. Carter has described Hamas murderers as “so-called terrorists. That in a 1996 New York Times Op-Ed piece he called for cutting off all U.S. financial aid to Israel until it gave in to Islamist demands to surrender territory. That the Carter Center in Atlanta, heavily funded by the Saudis and other Muslims, rushed to give its imprimatur to the Hamas victory in the latest Palestinian election, even though nine elected Hamas lawmakers are outlaws imprisoned for terrorism.

Why does Jimmy hate the Jews so much? It just seems like he is a huge anti-semite.

Jimmy Carter, more than any other single politician alive today, is therefore responsible for global Islamo-fascist terrorism.

Frankly he the FOUNDING FATHER of Muslim terrorism. Anyone who has the cajones to claim he is a good man is greatly blinded.

When you think of how unnecessary Watergate was (Nixon was going to win-in-a-walk anyway), and when you think how Watergate put the American Nation in the hands of this Peanut Traitor for 4 utterly disastrous years, then you get a sense what a colossal blunder that stupid act of burglarly really was. Nixon didn't just risk his own presidency on nothing, he gambled away the security of America and the world. For nothing. Perhaps the single largest blunder in American politics, ever.

He caused the Middle East crisis. He also caused the crisis on the Korean Peninsula.

Jimmy Carter, CIC, wrought this on Americas military. April 24, 1980. A result of totally inadequate funding and training. Screw Jimmy Carter now and always.

Ronald Reagan said it best: "A recession is when your neighbor loses his job. A depression is when you lose yours. And recovery is when Jimmy Carter loses his."

Today Carter is like the guy who feeds the donkeys, then criticizes the guy who has to clean up after them.

i used to think he was a fool, i now believe that he is a noam chomsky-style american hating communist who has thrown his lot in with the one-world left - his actions seem to confirm this again, and again, and again. jimmuh is another 'ramsey clark' but one who actually was able to fool the sheeple (like me) into voting him POTUS. i publically apologize to Gerald Ford who would have avoided the WWIV scenario that confronts us...

It is no secret that I despise and loathe Jimmy Carter more than any other living American. He was and is a pox on all things good and decent, he is an unconfessed Marxist, he continuously finds fault with the United States and our allies, while consistently finding oh-so-many reasons to praise and support our adversaries and enemies, and seeks to undercut our national leadership at every turn, while hiding behind a facade of piety and righteousness.

Carter is a pathetic, foul and despicable little person. I say person, because he is no man.

However I've been considering this morning that Carter may in fact be very much like the current nutcase ruling Iran, Ahmadjihad (the little runt who yells down a well to the so-called "12th Imam" in hopes he will makes his Grand Appearance?). Does this sound bizarre?

Consider:

Ahmadjihad believes that by creating war, chaos and confusion, that he can precipitate the coming of the Islamic "mahdi" (12th Imam, WHATever), and perhaps Carter's diseased mind is infected with a similar affliction in that he believes (in his own twisted little world) that if he can contribute to the anti-Israel sentiment in the Middle East, that in his own perverse way, he might be accelerating the time table for the Second Coming of Christ.

Each in his own way, Ahmadjihad and Carter, submerging themselves in anti-Semitism, Ahmadjihad the obvious one, Carter the not-so-obvious, more subtle one in that he never calls for the destruction of Israel, but he gives aid and comfort to Israel's enemies, just as he does to America's enemies.

The only possible solution to this world in chaos?

For Ahmadjihad, it's the 12th Imam.

For Carter, it's the Second Coming of Christ.

Carter fills the equivalent latter day role of Judas, who was loyal to Christ up until the point where he (Judas) sold out for thirty pieces of silver.

Carter has received his thirty pieces in the form of his coveted Nobel "Peace Prize".

Both (Judas and Carter) are eternally cursed.

Hindsight is 20-20. In 1972, Nixon thought he was still battling pro-Soviets for supremacy in the world, and his tactics were justified in choking the anti-Americans who were using the Soviet threat to regain political power here in the US.

But there was a shift in strategy. Rather than simply support the pro-Soviet forces, the anti-Americans shifted their emphasis to another bunch with a growing rage with America, the anti-Israel Muslims (which is all of the jihadists), making the Soviets and the militant Muslims de facto allies in the War on America.

The Soviets had the bad judgment to arouse animosities among the Muslims, however, by their clumsy handling of Afghanistan. Bogged down in a seemingly endless war there, the Soviet Union went into self-destruct mode.

But not before the new anti-American force that is jihadist Islam had been given a push onto the world stage by the anti-Israel and pro-Soviet apologist, Jimmy Carter. The Shah Mohammad Reza Pahlavi was "bad", and the Ayatollah Ruhollah Musavi Khomeini was a "Godly man", in Jimmy Carter's estimation. The thing was, that the Ayatollah did not consider JIMMY CARTER to be a "Godly man".

One of them made a pretty good assessment of character. The other one was dead wrong.

Dear Mr. Carter:

Go to Hell.
Go directly to Hell.
Do not pass Go.
Do not collect two billion dollars.

Oh, and take Fidel with you, if he isn't already there waiting for you.
