Come on, tell us what you really think

Editorial: Carter removing all doubt - Examiner.com: "WASHINGTON - There appears to be no bottom to the pit of specious vacuity in which former president Jimmy Carter has been falling since his massive repudiation by voters in his 1980 election loss to Ronald Reagan. Carter’s latest book — “Palestine: Peace, not Apartheid” — poses a ridiculous argument and commits unforgivable intellectual sins while doing so."

He is posturing himself as an intellectual, but it is a fraudulent posture.

At bottom, it is the warmed over Ku Klux Klan Populist Pap, on which he was raised. It would indeed be an interesting study to read some of the 1930 KKK literature and compare its message on "the JOOOOOOOS" with the crap in this book.

I suspect, however, that Ms. Lillian would not approve.

Interesting you bring up Lillian. I suspect she would have Jimmy out behind the barn and be wielding a willow switch directed at his a** for his latest behavior.

But this quote from Wiki, as to Lillian, seems apropos;

"When I look at my four children sometimes I say to myself, Lillian, you should have stayed a virgin."

Little did she know.

Of course, and OTOH, just who did she admit into her home (based on the wiki article)? I'm being really nasty here, but were Jews as welcome as Blacks? I have not researched, but from where did Jimmy receive his current bias? Just his experiences as President? Doubtful.

We all grab at what makes us feel good. Sometimes it's right, sometimes it's not.
