Is Jimmy Carter senile?

Saturday, October 20, 2018

You know the Democrats are desperate when they have to drag old Jimmy Carter off his deathbed to take a shot at the Supreme Court justices Kavanaugh.

This follows a long line of rehashed old veterans of past political wars dragged out of retirement in a desperate Democratic effort to stop Trump.

Some of the notable dignitaries included well-known liars such as Bob Woodward and John Dean.

But in dragging the old battleship Carter, Democrats have sunk too new lows, even beyond the claptrap they tried to pull when they resorted to dragging out that fraud Ford to accuse Kavanaugh of attempted rape.

Carter’s leap into the fray is extremely disappointing because he had to this point remained the last honest voice in the Democratic Party and has clearly decided that party loyalty is more important than truth.

To have him lie on behalf of the party indicates a fall from grace after decades of trying to restore his reputation from his failed presidency.

But it becomes evident just how desperate Democrats are to halt the inevitable forward motion of a new GOP.

Yet, we have to wonder what motivated Carter to suddenly leap into a fray which only invalidates the last three decades of noble work. Perhaps he is senile. But most likely to drag Carter out of mothballs, Democrats must have resorted to efforts not so different from the Spanish Inquisition.

Most likely, as with Woodward and Dean, the Democrats have called in an old debt, or some threat of blackmail over some as yet undiscovered misdeed – in order to get him to testify against Kavanaugh in the public arena.

But unlike Woodward and Dean who have already been largely discredited, Carter retains some nostalgic credibility that the Democrats hope can stain in the new Supreme Court justice in ways the others could not.

So, this become one last chapter in a failed president’s life and shows just how unethical the Democrats are and how far they will stoop to retain power, forcing good people to say bad things and dishonest things about other good people like Kavanaugh.

So, you have to wonder what it is that the Democrats have over Carter that he is willing to engage in this one last savage attack.

In some ways, this reprises Carter’s in his role as president, the politically if incompetent hillbilly politicians that Democrats brought in when they could not resurrect the spoiled political careers of people like Ted Kennedy in the scandal ridden 1970s.

Carter was the savior of the Democratic Party after Watergate and after Gerald Ford did the unpardonable atrocity of pardoning Richard Nixon. Yet Carter’s rise to power coincided with a major split in the power elite, factions that could not come together after The Washington Post and elite news media helped bring down Nixon. While this power elite managed to get Ford into office as a stop gap measure, and to reward Nelson Rockefeller for his role in creating the odious Rockefeller Laws (that resulted in clearing people of color from city centers in order to make them acceptable for gentrification), Ford was too stained, and Ronald Reagan was not yet strong enough to take power.

Carter did not have the kind of baggage the Kennedy’s did, yet his crowd of hillbillies lacked any federal experience, bumbling their way through the national landscape without any clear idea of what to do or how the system worked.

Under his regime, the economy spiraled out of control, inflation went to the roof as Democratic policies tried to infuse money back into Democratic areas.  He was the creator of such notorious things as the Neutron bomb and the cruise missile as well as a number of other military innovations that made the world less safe – such as the multi warhead nuclear missile system.

He also provided a massive pardon and for all of those anti-war protesters who had fled to Canada and elsewhere to avoid service.

Perhaps is best known for the incompetence in handling the crisis in Iran when hostages remained imprisoned in and embassy for more than a year. Under his watch the Russians invaded Afghanistan. He authorized CIA operations that ultimately led to the rise of the
Taliban and terrorism in the world including the attacks on 9/11.

Carter became a better man and leader after leaving office when he started to help homeless and build homes. He became the grandfather image that all of us appreciated.

Only now, in a desperate attempt to undermine a conservative Supreme Court, the Democrats drag him out of mothballs as payment to some past debt. After spending decades repairing an image as an incompetent president, he now returns to ruin everything he did with this cheap shot in order to benefit some misguided Democratic move for power.

You have to wonder what it is the Democratic Party has on him that they can blackmail in into saying such horrible things at the end of his life, completely destroying whatever legacy in order to come off sounding like a plain old country liar.
