The Worst President in U.S. History is Also a Traitor

Jimmy Carter who has often been described as the 'best ex-president,' because
of his charitable work (most notably with Habitat for Humanity) has now ruined
his post-presidency reputation. For many years, Carter stayed out of the political
spotlight and kept his mouth shut. After all, the man presided over the worst
four years this country has ever known. He really had no room to criticize anyone.
Carter is now speaking out every time he gets the chance. He let his hatred
for President Bush come out at this year's Democratic National Convention. He
also has been making the rounds on the liberal talk shows, speaking out not
only against the President but against the war as well. It is truly conduct
unbecoming of an ex-president.
With troops fighting and dying in Iraq and Afghanistan, Carter appeared on NBC's
The Today Show, where he spoke with Katie Couric. Carter said, "The war
has been unnecessary." How do you suppose that seditious comment made the
parents of our fallen heroes feel? Without a doubt, such a remark did nothing
if not embolden our enemies.

Carter
(right) recently attended the presidential election in Venezuela. He was serving
in an official capacity, observing the election as a representative from the
Carter Center. He declared the election to be fair and legitimate. However,
many Venezuelans would probably disagree with Carter's assessment. Hugo Chavez,
a great friend of Fidel Castro and the first 'democratically-elected' president
to visit Saddam Hussein after the 1991 Gulf War, was re-elected.
Chavez was a strong opponent of the U.S. led invasion of Iraq. While he deems
his government a 'democracy,' Chavez actually practices socialism. In short,
Jimmy Carter is crazy about him! The night before the Venezuelan election was
held, Carter announced to the Venezuelan people: "I might project results
that will be much more satisfactory than they were in 2000 in Florida."
Carter has a history of making anti-American remarks, while abroad. He once
told Haiti's dictator that he "was ashamed to be an American." Carter
was angry because President Bill Clinton would not give in to all of the demands
that the Haitian tyrant desired. However, as disgusting as that comment was,
I did not consider it treason because this nation was not at war. Carter has
now crossed the line.
As a life-long student of history (particularly political history), I cannot
think of a single instance in which a former U.S. President has gone abroad
to speak out against the current Commander in Chief, while at war. Make no mistake,
Carter failed miserably as a president and he has now distinguished himself
as a traitor. ***
