Jimmy Carter: "Useful Idiot" or "Traitor"?

"[Marshall Tito] is a man who believes in human rights. [He is] a great and courageous leader [who] has led his people and protected their freedom almost for the last 40 years."
-- Carter, while still in office, hailing Yugoslavia's communist dictator
"Our goals are the same: to have a just system of economics and politics ... We believe in enhancing human rights."
-- Carter comparing himself to Romania's dictator Nicolae Ceausescu
"Our concept of human rights is preserved in [Communist] Poland."
-- Carter speaking to Stalinist Edward Gierek, Poland's First Secretary
"[I am] ashamed of what my country has done to your country."
-- Carter speaking to Haitian dictator Lt. Gen. Raoul Cedras
"I don't see that they [the North Koreans] are an outlaw nation."
-- Carter in North Korea, lauding Stalinist Kim Il Sung, one of the most destructive and repressive dictators in history
"Ill-informed commentators in both countries have cast the other side as a villain and have even forecast inevitable confrontation between the two nations."
-- Carter making exquisite moral equivalence between the giant and repressive Chinese Communist state and America
Carter gave away US oversight of the Panama Canal, "the most important waterway in the world," says Adm. Thomas H. Moorer (ret), which is now "packed with Chinese communists."
Sadat, appalled that Carter wanted the Soviets in on Middle East peace negotiations, decided to directly offer peace to Israel's Begin. When their plan was essentially worked out, they then called the White House, because obviously, "they needed someone to pay the bill" (Bernard Lewis).
Not resting on his laurels, Carter demanded the Shah of Iran step down and turn over power to the Ayatollah Khomeini, an Islamic madman. Carter had the Pentagon tell the Shah's top military commanders - about 150 of them - to acquiesce to the Ayatollah and not fight him. The Shah's military listened to Carter. ALL OF THEM were murdered in one of the Ayatollah's first acts. By allowing the Shah to fall, Carter created one of the most militant anti-American dictatorships ever. Soon the new Iranian government was ransacking our embassy and held hostage its staff for over a year. More than 20,000 pro-Western Iranians were put before firing squads. With the Shah gone, the whole region was destabilized.
Iraq took advantage of the Shah's departure to invade Iran, a war that killed more than 500,000 people. It also created the regional instabilities that led to Iraq’s later invasion of Kuwait and to Operation Desert Storm, which cost the lives of hundreds of thousands more. But Carter meant well.
In the closing days of the 1980 election, Carter's White House contacted the Soviets in a quid pro quo to plead for assistance in stopping Reagan from winning. In 1984, Carter himself visited Soviet Ambassador Dobrynin to ask the Soviets to intervene on behalf of Democrats. Damning evidence that Jimmy Carter, as both president and citizen, may have committed treason by enlisting the help of our enemies in presidential elections.
Since leaving office, Carter has:
- praised Syria's late Assad (killer of at least 20,000 in Hama)
- praised Ethiopian tyrant Mengistu (killer of many more than that)
- secured Saudi funding for Arafat after he sided with Iraq against the US
- wrote the UN Security Council after Iraq invaded Kuwait, urging them to thwart President Bush's pre-Gulf War coalition (designed to reverse that act of aggression) - another action some called "treason"
"Our people, who face Israeli bullets, have no weapons: only a few stones remaining when our homes are destroyed by Israeli bulldozers."
-- from a speech written by Carter for Yassir Arafat
"[Arafat's] election [was] democratic, well organized, open and fair."
-- Carter describing the "rigged" 1996 Palestinian election
"[Arafat] may well see the suicide attacks as one of the few ways to retaliate against his tormentors, to dramatize the suffering of his people, or as a means for him, vicariously, to be a martyr."
-- Carter in an apologia for the Pali homicide-bombings
And yet, with the blood of perhaps a million people dripping from his hands, Carter stalked the earth in his sick quest to be given a Nobel Peace Prize.
If he had any moral center at all, he would return his recent peace prize.
Carter is the smiley face of evil. |
