This wil work, other wise have a Form of Insanity for a Government, wait we already have that.
Pick any two – enough already is right Ted.

I'll research your points and make my own conclusion.

I will comment on point #2 to the effect that many have echoed Carter's assertion considering foreign attitude (especially ME) toward the US as 'blowback' for US intervention such as placing US military bases within their countries or the covert and overt support for coup's and uprisings such as occurred in Iran in the '50's and with the S. America Contras.

I too am critical regarding point #5, I supported a full military operation against Iran regardless of our former intervention in that country. Just curious have you read any of Terry Anderson's writing on the matter?

You've given me more material to research than I expected so it might take me awhile.

1. Blind support for terror groups who have vowed the destruction of America including Hezbollah, Hamas, Syria and the Iranian regime

2. Blaming American policy for causing Islamic wackos to blow themselves up and target innocent innocent women and children, when we all know it's Islam itself that condones these actions.

3. His midwifery of the Islamic Republican of Iran and the Muslim terror that has subsequently spread across the world. When Carter withdrew American support from the Shah during his hour of need, his government fell, and one of our most valuable friends was replaced by our bitterest enemy. Once the Ayatollah Khomeini had taken control, the 3,000 communists Carter had been whimpering over were promptly shot, along with 20,000 pro-Western Iranians. Khomeini executed more people in his first year in power than the Shah had been alleged to have killed in the last quarter century. So much for human rights, as if leftists like Carter had any genuine interest in them anyway.

5. Doing NOTHING but sitting on his thumbs while Iran committed an act of war against the US when they invaded our embassy and took hostage 52 US diplomats for 444 days.

6. During the Clinton years, when asked to "negotiate" with N. Korea, he praised North Korea's mass-murdering dictator as a "vigorous and intelligent man." And of North Korea itself, Carter said of this habitat for inhumanity: "I don't see they are an outlaw nation."

6.The "community re-investment act", which ultimately led to Democrats pressuring banks to issue loans that were too risky, leading to the ultimate buildup and collapse of Freddie and Fannie, which we all know has led to what's going on right now with the economic meltdown.

7. Jimmy Carter also once challenged Ronald Reagan's "aggressive" and successful strategy for winning the Cold War. Perhaps he'd like to send one of his Habitat for Humanity crews to rebuild the Berlin Wall brick by tyrannical brick. The fact is that Jimmy Carter could not have done more to damage our national security had he been a hand-picked mole planted in the White House by the KGB.

8. Blaming Americans for America's problems in 1979 in his famous "malaise" speech in which he told us our best days were over. He nagged us to turn down our thermostats in the winter and turn them up in the summer, since the nation could not possibly overcome its energy problems.

"I think it's inevitable that there will be a lower standard of living than what everybody had always anticipated," he told advisers in 1979. "The only trend is downward."

"In a nation that was proud of hard work, strong families, close-knit communities and our faith in God, too many of us now tend to worship self-indulgence and consumption," he fussed.

He asked an America that was accustomed to prosperity to get along with less — which it had to do since his policies crippled an already hobbling economy.

9. By putting America's self interest on the backburner in favor of his vague "human rights" policy, all he did was enable dictators to take him to the cleaners, time and time again.examples: Cuba, Panama, Nicaragua, China, Egypt. (btw, ever wonder why Egypt, to this day, receives TONS of aid? Yup, you can thank Carter for that one)]

10. In Rhodesia, Carter kept up sanctions begun under his predecessors. But he went further by undermining the election of Bishop Abel Muzorewa as prime minister in 1979 to protest the exclusion of candidate Robert Mugabe. In response to Carter's pressure, new elections were held, giving Mugabe the victory he has held onto as Africa's worst dictator. Thank you, Jimmy Carter.
