Quote HistoryQuoted: Carter never was the kindly farmer he pretended to be. Neither was his wife. He was the most destructive, disruptive guy in the white house in my lifetime. Everyone wants to say nice things because he's old. Just like FJB, you don't outlive your past. I won't go out of my way to wish death upon him, but neither will I mourn his passing. This.

Quote HistoryQuoted: Absolutely correct. Carter was one the worst presidents in our history. I'll never forgive the sonofabitch for pardoning the cowards who fled to Canada to avoid the draft. Carter did that by executive order the very first day he was in office. Then he gave away the Panama Canal...now operated by Hutchison-Wampoa, a company owned by the Peoples Liberation Army of the Peoples Republic of China. Several people who worked for him in the White House described him as a "back-stabbing little weasel". Burn in hell, Jimmy. Quote HistoryQuoted: Quoted: Quoted: A decent man....

I've known quite a few yellow dog Democrats from his time that said he would sell his own mother if it made him look good in the eyes of the press. His nut hugging of Arafat didn't win him alot of friends either, nor his throwing Rhodesia under the bus at the behest of the left and his coddling up to Andrew Young, who was another POS Billy actually had more common sense than Jimmy |

Quote HistoryQuoted: A long time ago,my mother said that Carter was the worst president she had ever seen, but the best FORMER president. I’m wondering if the “good works” post-Presidency wasn’t an attempt (successful to a large degree) to rehab his image? Professional politicians are crafty bastards. He was a professional politician. |

I marched in his inaugural parade. Honor Guard Co. 1st Platoon. The Old Guard. I was okay with it. Seemed neat/cool at the time.
Later, when he made such an ass out of himself and the USA when threatening Iran and then backing down a few days later, and did that multiple times before Reagan was inaugurated and the Iranians released the embassy hostages I was pissed I'd wasted my time that day in January 1979. It's been so long I think people have forgotten how many screw ups he made while in office. They made a big thing about his Navy service. After the hostage months/screw ups I couldn't help but wonder how in the hell he managed to do his job as a "nuclear systems" officer and not sink a ship or kill someone. |

I have been very harsh on Jimmy Carter. He's a liberal piece of shit who damaged this country deeply. He's much much worse than most people realize
that being said, the man looks like a saint compared to modern democrats, and I wish him Godspeed as he crosses over. I also suspect there's some lessons for him in the future on the other side. I pray for the country he had a hand in crippling. |

Jimmy Carter was and is just as big of a piece of shit as the rests of them. He put America through hell for his four years. If it hadn’t been for the eight years of Reagan, this country would have been where we are today or worse decades ago. Jimmy Carter's smiling, man-of-the-people image that saw him carry his own luggage was 'all show', say ex-Secret Service agents who claim ex-president was 'rude and short' and 'talked down' to soldiers - Secret Service agents revealed Jimmy Carter, 98, who has announced he is entering hospice care at home, was nothing like his smiling, friendly image - Behind the scenes, the 39th president would treat his secret service detail like they 'weren't there' or 'were bothering him', and 'talked down to the military' - Despite his 'phony' public façade, Carter is being hailed as a humble president who championed the working man, as he lives out his final days in hospice care https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-11807897/Ex-Secret-Service-agents-reveal-Jimmy-Carter-actually-rude-time.html |

And unlike those that came after him, he loved his country, served with honor and didn't make millions off of his influence. And he was probably the best ex-president the US has ever had, he gave back when others just lock themselves up in mansions and party with the Hollywood elite. Well said, after him expect for Trump they all have been hand picked by the f****^^^ elites who really now run our country and the world. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: Hope it’s peaceful. Obviously he had some missteps as President, but it’s undeniable that he was the last democrat president we ever had who actually cared about this country and his fellow Americans. Just look at his post-presidency career to see who he is as a man. Such a far cry from the current crop of Democrats we’ve had since. Missteps is being kind He created the toxic atmosphere that gave the world the vile level of militant islamists and their terrorism and nobody since has had the balls to turn Iran into a zone of green glass - or at least most of its big cities as it rightly deserves to have been And then he and Kissinger give the chicoms the Panama Canal, giving them their first stepping stone into controlling this hemisphere. Department of education. Which is the tap root of the rot in in this country now. |

I will not miss him. This. A good man that has the best in mind for his country and it’s people don’t actively attempt to undermine the presidents coming after him because he’s trying to make his failed attempt not look so bad. This is the man responsible for the radical version of Iran we’ve had to deal with for decades, then accepted millions through the Carter Foundation to promote Palestinians and denigrate an ally in the region, as well. When Carter was governor, my uncle was a Georgia resident that had a neighbor with a blind child. The child’s parents were having difficulty getting the child into the Georgia School for the Blind due to bureaucratic problems, so he did some research and told them he would ask Carter for help since my uncle was a friend of a friend of Carter’s personal secretary in the Governor’s Office. He sent numerous letters to Carter with no response, then finally called the secretary to ask if the letters were being received. Secretary told him every one of them had been and Carter was aware of the problem, but since there wasn’t a publicity opportunity he wasn’t interested. My uncle sent a letter to George Wallace, governor of Alabama at the time, and received a letter saying he would help along with applications for the Alabama School for the Blind. Wallace also sent a follow up letter after the child had been accepted to the school after Carter couldn’t be bothered to help someone in his own state. I’m not going to celebrate when Carter dies, but I’m not a fan at all. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: If he had of curb stomped Iran instead of bending over and taking it, he might have salvaged something of a reputation. Sure didn't take them long to release them once Reagan was elected. He was given a good plan to rescue the hostages, but shot it down because he was concerned about Iranian casualties that might result. My idea of POTUS is being concerned about citizens of the United States, not militants and terrorists from a country that’s caused the problem. |
