Post by Hank RogersPost by ItsJoanNotJoAnnPost by ItsJoanNotJoAnnJimmy Carter has left the building; he died today, December
29, 2024 at home. I never thought any president could take
the mantle of worst president from him, but Biden has knocked
Jimmy out of that title.

You are a stupid old cunt who will die alone. It's unfortunate that the
accident didn't kill you. Your worthless ass isn't even worthy to
comment on Jimmy Carter.

He was fine as a man, that I have no qualms with, but as a
president, he was completely out of his depth.
Trump is the most "VILE and corrupt" person to ever be President. In
1980, I knocked doors in very Republican areas of the county for Ed
Clark, the Libertarian candidate, but I voted for Carter. Carter didn't
merely have "some moral and personal integrity." He had more moral and
personal integrity than any President in history, and that includes
Dwight Eisenhower, Harry Truman and Abraham Lincoln.
HAHAHAHAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Settle down Mensa reject, I voted for him as well. I
*thought* he'd be a great president, but he failed
miserably in that department. Being a great guy with
moral and personal integrity does not necessarily make
a great president.
Slightly over half of our country agrees with you, so you don't need to
defend yourself against bryan. This is still a democratic,
representative republic, where our president relinquishes power when
voted out, and tries to aid the transition to a new chief. (I hope we
continue this old tradition).
I'm having some frozen egg rolls tonite (very late supper). They're
nothing to brag about ... Taipei brand from walmart; the pork version.
But fast and easy in the microwave. I've found them the best of the
frozen egg rolls, but again, not great at all, but pretty good emergency
grub if you have power to cook these gems up.
From the speech that President Reagan gave at the opening of the Carter
library in Atlanta. That was on October 1, 1986, when Carter turned 62;
Reagan at the time was 75 and considered, by some, antique.:
"In one of its aspects, the story of President Carter is the story of
the family in which he grew up. Jimmy Carter’s father taught him the
virtues of hard work and self-discipline. From the time he was six, he
knew that when the farm bell rang James Earl Sr. expected to see him out
of bed and going to work with everybody else...
In another of its important aspects, the story of President Carter is a
story of the South. For when Jimmy Carter was born on this date in 1924,
many southerners knew only poverty, and millions lived lives that were
separate and unequal because of the color of their skin. There’s a
photograph inside the library that sets the scene: A little boy is
drinking from a fountain. He is black. He’s drinking from that
particular fountain because on a tree next to the fountain there’s a
sign that reads: “Colored.”...
Well, the world has changed now. It has changed because men and women
like Jimmy Carter stood up in church to protest the exclusion of black
people from worship, and it has changed because Jimmy Carter spoke these
words in his inaugural address as governor of Georgia: “I say to you
quite frankly that the time for racial discrimination is over. . . . No
poor, rural, weak, or black person should ever again have to bear the
additional burden of being deprived of the opportunity for an education,
a job, or simple justice.”...
I must tell you, Mr. President, that your countrymen have vivid memories
of your time in the White House still...
They see you working in the Oval Office at your desk with an air of
intense concentration, repairing to a quiet place to receive the latest
word on the hostages you did so much to free, or studying in your
hideaway office for the meeting at Camp David that would mark such a
breakthrough for peace in the Middle East. Others will speak today, Mr.
President, of all phases of your political career and your policies...
For myself, I can pay you no higher honor than to say simply this: You
gave of yourself to this country, gracing the White House with your
passion and intellect and commitment. And now you have become a
permanent part of that grand old house, so rich in tradition, that
belongs to us all. For that, Mr. President, I thank you, and your
country thanks you...
Anything else?
There’s only one thing left to say. From the 40th president to the 39th,
happy birthday! And, Mr. President, if I could give you one word of
advice: Life begins at 70..."
