THE MADMAN MARCHES ON TO INFAMY

Some people are always for the underdogs, even if they are scumbags, murderers, thieves, traitors, predators, terrorists, and ungodly. It never seems to dawn on them that the small in number can have all these terrible characteristics as underdogs.
So can the rich, powerful, big, and huge majorities in number. Jimmy Carter is such a man. Whoever is los ing the battle can always count on Jimmy to be on their side no matter how vile they are
in character, or whether they started the war. Hamas is truly deserving of being wiped out by the people they want to annihilate, but don’t have enough people to do it.
There can never be a true lasting peace or truce between the Palestinian Authority and Israel because vile Palestinian terrorists happen to be the less powerful military minority in
Israel. If Palestinians had been the most powerful, they would already have destroyed the Israelis, because they have an inextinguishable hate for Jews.
Proverbs 12:23 – A prudent man concealeth knowledge: but the heart of fools proclaimeth foolishness.
Proverbs 13:16 – Every prudent man dealeth with knowledge: but a fool layeth open his folly.
Proverbs 13:20 – He that walketh with wise men shall be wise: but a companion of fools shall be destroyed.
This is an excellent excerpt by Paul Kujawsky from the Examiner, who give a great analysis of the man Jimmy Carter.

Jimmy Carter’s Middle East tour
June 19, 2009
Author: Paul Kujawsky
Former U.S. President Jimmy Carter is almost beyond understanding. He is trained in nuclear physics, yet when it comes to the Middle East, he’s no rocket scientist. A self-proclaimed champion of human rights, he invariably cozies up to dictators and thugs—no tyrant is too repulsive to embrace.
Too intelligent and too experienced to be genuinely naïve, too consistent to be forgiven as erratic or bumbling, one can only conclude that he is driven by ideology. Like so much of the illiberal Left, Carter thoughtlessly favors the “small and weak” over the “big and strong,” instead of asking more pertinent questions of “right” or “wrong.” If a group portrays itself as the victim of “neo-colonialism,” “occupation,” or “racism,” Carter will take up its cause, no matter how vile its principles or conduct.
Let’s examine his latest foray into the Middle East to see if this judgment is corroborated.
June 9: In Lebanon, Carter said: “Oh, I don’t think Hezbollah’s going to create any problems for Obama, or for Lebanon. I think they’re satisfied to maintain the status quo.
. . . I think that withdrawing weapons from Hezbollah is out of the question. I don’t think they’re going to even bring it up. And that’s the main thing that Hezbollah wants.” Here, Carter casually endorsed Hezbollah’s status as a private army within the state, in violation of United Nations Security Council resolutions.
Carter loses no sleep because Hezbollah’s missiles are to be used against Israel.
June 11: Carter, after chatting with Syrian president Bashar Assad, opined that the U.S. should terminate its sanctions against Syria, imposed because of its support for terrorism. Syrian support for terrorism continues. There being no change of circumstances, one must conclude that Carter does not consider that supporting terrorism merits sanctions.
If there is another more reasonable conclusion, readers are invited to supply it.
June 13: Carter, adverting to “the anguish and suffering and deprivation of human rights that you have experienced ever since 1948,” confessed that he was in love with the Palestinians. The ex-president has swallowed the line that the creation of the Jewish state was itself a crime against the Palestinians, which explains his hostility towards Israel. He also extemporized on the massive Iranian revulsion at their stolen election, saying that “I am sure [Ahmadinejad] will listen to this opposition.” Ahmadinejad, of course, dismissively compared the disgusted millions to disgruntled soccer fans.
June 14: In Israel, Carter rather surprisingly admitted that the Gush Etzion settlement bloc in the West Bank/Judea should remain in Israeli hands after a peace deal with the Palestinians.
June 15: Carter told the Knesset Foreign Affairs and Defense Committee that the Netanyahu speech—in which the Prime Minister accepted the creation of a Palestinian state—was a flop: “In my opinion, Netanyahu brought up several obstacles to peace in his speech that others before him have not placed. He insists on settlement expansion and demands that the Palestinians recognize Israel as a Jewish state, even though 20% of Israel’s citizens are not Jewish.” Did Carter acknowledge that a “right of return” for the Palestinian “refugees” would doom Israel demographically, making “two states for two people” a farce? Don’t hold your breath.
June 16: Carter said in Gaza that Gazans “are being treated like animals.” He told them: “This abuse must cease. The crimes must be investigated. The wall must be brought down, and the basic right of freedom must come to you.” No reported mention of the thousands of rockets hurled from Gaza at southern Israel. No mention of the crimes of Hamas against the people of Gaza. Noam Shalit gave Carter a letter for his son, Gilad, a soldier kidnapped by Hamas over one thousand days ago.
If Carter criticized Hamas for the kidnapping, or for refusing to let the Red Cross see Shalit, it wasn’t reported. He just allowed that there should be a “prisoner exchange,” equating a kidnapped soldier with terrorists.
June 17: Carter met with Hamas leaders in Gaza, as he had in Syria, breaking the diplomatic embargo erected by the U.S. government. He asked them to recognize Israel. They said that would be “unacceptable.” Perhaps there was no harm in asking.
But what’s infuriating is that, ten to one, Carter won’t draw appropriate conclusions, but will continue to sing his old song: Hamas must be brought into the circle of peacemakers, which is both irrational and obscene.
Carter has been called “the worst ex-President in American history.” It is hard to judge definitively. But at an age when most people would be content to retire and rest on their laurels, he proudly marches on, determined to compete for the crown.
