Jimmy Jr.’s in the House!

(the White House, that is.)

From the Washington Times:

It has taken three decades, but Americans are finally living throughJimmy Carter’s second term.

Now we’ve got Jimmy Jr. barking at us from the White House about eating our peas and ripping off our Band-Aid. He might not even let us have our Social Security checks.

These are just the latest in a long line of nagging lectures. Already, we have been taught how we should sneeze into the crook of our arm. We need to drive less. And we need to caulk up those drafty houses of ours.

What ever happened to the soaring rhetoric and big bold ideas PresidentObama promised us in that historic election of his?

Is this what he meant by a new kind of politics? If so, no thanks. Oh, and it is not new. Jimmy already dragged us through all this once and we just barely survived it.

Jimmy Carter Puts a Hex on Egypt

It is now official. Egypt is most definitely in dire trouble. Jimmy Carter, known to be wrong about almost everything, particularly about the Middle East, said: “I think the Muslim Brotherhood is not anything to be afraid of in the upcoming (Egyptian) political situation and the evolution I see as most likely”. If you didn’t fear the Muslim Brotherhood before, you’d better begin doing so now.

Carter added that “The demonstrators will not accept anything less than honest, fair and open elections” which, of course, includes the Muslim Brotherhood demonstrators. This, too, is a call to ignore the dangerous ideology of the Muslim Brotherhood and to rely on the “honest, fair and open” elections that he believes historically abound in the Middle East.

If you’re still not convinced that Egypt has now been doomed to failure, consider that Carter also assured that his foundation, the Carter Center, will be as “involved as possible” in bringing about successful Egyptian elections in September. If that’s not a double whammy, nothing is. Carter’s stamp of approval is akin to an NFL owner’s vote of confidence in his coach after a disastrous season.

As president, Jimmy Carter handled the Iran hostage situation with outstanding incompetence and the spectacular failures of his administration in Iran helped Islamofacism flourish. Convinced of his expertise in Middle East affairs, he has been a cheer leader for Palestinian terrorists, shifting all blame for Middle East violence onto Israel and the US.

Since his presidency, Carter has branched out to prop up dictators around the world such as Venezuela’s Hugo Chavez, North Korea’s Kim Sung Il, or Cuba’s Fidel Castro. It seems that Carter never met a dictator he didn’t like, as long as they hate the US. Now, the Muslim Brotherhood is getting the Carter stamp of approval. This is a sure indication that Egypt is a goner. The hex is in.

Jimmy Carter Backtracks

Jimmy Carter, often accused of being anti-Semitic, apologized to the Jewish community for anything he may have said that upset them (http://tinyurl.com/ybdn6tn). The fact is that almost everything he ever said concerning Israel or the Jewish community has been offensive and he never apologized, sticking to his views in spite of much criticism. Why now?

Is it just a coincidence that this apology comes immediately after his grandson, Jason Carter, announced he would run for a Georgia State Senate seat? Is it a further coincidence that this seat is in a district with a large, vocal Jewish population? I highly doubt it.

Jimmy Carter may have finally recognized that his words and views have been an embarrassment. Perhaps it didn’t matter when it was just the American people that were embarrassed, but it seems to matter when it hits closer to home.

I don’t know how the Jewish community could accept his apology. There are consequences to behavior and he should have recognized that long ago. Instead, he allowed himself to use his stature as an ex-president to espouse his personal, offensive views. An apology now is ludicrous and self-serving.
