[QUOTE="brazenbrown, post: 381203, member: 9007"] Whenever I open the newspaper to find an article about Jimmy Carter (or see him on TV) I scream, "Jimmy Carter?! He's history's greatest monster!" Alas, it's not my joke; it comes from an episode of "The Simpsons." Marge fails to make marshmallow treats for the town bake sale, which results in Springfield being unable to afford a statue of Abraham Lincoln. They settle for a bronze President Carter instead. When it's unveiled, someone shouts, "Jimmy Carter!? He's history's greatest monster!" and the town riots. Jewish World Review I love the Simpsons!!:rofl: Former president Jimmy Carter told CNN that the United States should disarm, just as we're asking North Korea and Iraq to do. After all, he said, we should set an example and do exactly what we're asking the insane totalitarians of the world to do. When I first heard this suggestion I grew angry and thought how crazy a former leader of our Country really was. This is a man who has grown powerful, rich and successful because of the greatness of this country. And yet, he thinks this country is somehow like a nation which is starving its own people, and another which has gassed thousands of its own citizens to death. Carter also complained to CNN, "There is a sense that the United States has become too arrogant, too dominant, too self-centered, proud of our wealth, believing that we deserve to be the richest and most powerful and influential nation in the world." Yes, a man like Jimmy Carter is given the Nobel Peace Prize because he helps make Europeans and the rest of the world feel better about themselves. That's fine, but it is our duty to not forget who we are and how we got here. We embrace our greatness humbly because it has come at a vast and terrible price. It is a price, however, which also demands that we defer to the memory of the sons and daughters of this country who died in the many wars to save the world. I have a feeling they would recommend we not disarm and relegate Jimmy Carter to the peacefulness of his peanut farm, where he can do no harm. Do we want more of the same with InsaneObama??? OBAMA: They get bitter. They cling to guns or religion or antipathy towards people who aren't like them. MICHELLE OBAMA: Barack knows there's a hole in our soul. OBAMA: I know my country has not perfected itself. MICHELLE OBAMA: It's easier to hold onto your own stereotypes and misconceptions. It makes you feel justified in your ignorance. That's America. OBAMA: We're confronting the history and stain of slavery in this country. We're confronting those scars. MICHELLE OBAMA: For the first time in my adult lifetime, I'm really proud of my country. OBAMA: America, uh, is -- is no longer, uh, what it -- it could be, what it once was. I'm hearing sort of a cleaned up version of what Jeremiah Wright thinks.
