Perhaps the “saved or created” label would be better applied to a different arena, one in which government policy right now has a greater probability of “saving and creating” something — though, unfortunately, that “something” happens to be terrorists bent on attacking America. How many terrorists were “saved or created” by the kind of policies Jimmy Carter is defending? How many will be “saved or created” by the current policy of trying to diplomatically coddle Iran out of the nuclear bomb program — and ensuing clout — that its rulers are clearly bent on pursuing? How many terrorists will be “saved or created” by the project of putting (alleged) Sept. 11 self-described mastermind Khalid Sheikh Mohammed on trial in lower Manhattan — thus providing him a world stage?
If that sounds macabre, it is nothing compared to the real results of policies which signal that America and its citizens and allies can be threatened, bullied, attacked, held hostage or murdered with relative impunity. Though there’s no reason to expect it anytime soon, it would be a great relief to have the U.S. government turn back over to the marketplace the business of saving or creating jobs, and concentrate instead on policies likely to “save or create” radically fewer terrorists.
Carter & Chamberlain are linked, so too are Reagan & Masaryk, for it was said that as long as Tomas Masaryk lives, Hitler will not go to war.
Frankly, it is time to put the odiousness of the false piety of political correctness onto the sidelines, where it belongs.
Reciprocity has to be the new policy. As long as a double standard is put up with, for instance, allowing Muslims to deny Christians freedom of worship & freedom of religion in countries where more than half the population
adhere to Islam, without communicating to the leaders in those countries: The double standard will no longer be put up with. How you treat those who are not Muslim, will be the way Muslims will be treated. Now, we will
see if there is one standard for all Muslims, or a double standard by those who are the majority in places like Arabia, and so forth.
Otherwise, it is a situation of the “West” demonstrating that they are guilty of the soft
bigotry of lowered expectations.
Good news – someday in the next year or so, Carter will pass away & we’ll no longer have to listen to his irrelevant babbling. We will do the right thing, as Americans always do, and send him off with the honors that the Office he served deserves. Luckily for him, he has lived long enough to be able to go to his grave knowing that there is someone else who is a shoe-in to bump him off the top of the list of worst Presidents ever. In fact, Obama’s on track to set the standard so low that the difference between Carter & Reagan will seem insignificant.
I think they should take KSM to court in a white Ford Bronco.
Great juxtaposition! You’re doing a fabulous job, please keep it.
But I get so angry at the UN, and at the US for support of the UN…
As a defense attorney my first comment to the judge and jury would be:
President Barack Obama and the Attorney General of the United States have told the entire world and this great state of New York that my client is guilty.
I have several copies of newspapers and videos in which they both stated that my client would be convicted and found guilty in their federal court.
I would like to have this case dismissed,
on the grounds my client has already been condemned by the President of the United States and the US Attorney General,
and he could never receive a fair and impartial trial from his peers in a federal court.
CASE DISMISSED…
KSM offered to plea guilty to a military tribunal, and Holder’s response? The USAG won’t allow a terrorist to determine his venue. This has to be among the more stupid remarks made about one of the most pathetic and ignorant prosecutorial decisions ever made. I have to wonder who is the greater threat to our national security: bin Laden or Barack Obama? At least the former is hidden and has little actual influence. Obama continues to wreak havoc on our economy and security daily with a misplaced piety that rivals Carter on a bad day.
Your grandchildren will be Muslim.
Allahu akbar!
SERIOUSLY. We are in the middle of an effing economic meltdown and these asshats-on-parade want ‘a really big shoo’ with a public trial of a vile [alleged???] terrorist of the worst order. This whole hoser administration (and, I use the term ‘administration’ very loosely) should all cram their death-care promoting, terrorist sympathizing, Marxist mongering, elitist pig asses into a miniature cash-for-clunkers ‘green’ czar clown car and take off to the Great White North.
@6. Fearless Leader,
Johnnie Cochran, datchoo back from the dead?
“CASE DISMISSED…”
I doubt if you’re going to get a case dismissed because the people prosecuting the case are saying that the accused is guilty.
That’s kinda what they’re supposed to do.
Our beloved Jimmy Carter not only handed the government of our only staunch Arab ally in the Middle East to the terrorists, he also handed the government of our only staunch ally in Central America to the communists.
Can anyone out there say “Somosa”?
When I was in college, I was friends with many Nicaraguan’s. Their politics ranged from former Sandinistas to former members of Somosa’s cabinet. They all agreed that Nicaragua was betrayed by Jimmy Carter.
I think it is funny that families that now own the houses he built are suing for the inferior quality of workmanship that went into them.
Beauxdog
well my own opinion if the terrorists will gather if we leave then let’s leave right now..when they all get together for a kegger or whatever the terrorist version of said gathering is..we drop 57 H-bombs in a 100 mile radius..problem solved

10. Dave Surls:
Key words:
will be convicted and found guilty in their federal court.
Obama-Holder
The people of NYC need to ram this federal kangaroo circus court into the same ground that these filthy terrorists ran the WTC.
Another Carter legacy; How many families were “saved or created” by the 20% interest rates? Of course he wasn’t bothered because he and his peanut farm were financed by his admirers in the Middle East. Perhaps it is a minor detail but for those of us who don’t “cross every bridge when we come to them”, we notice, anticipate, and remember.
Lincoln,
I’ve long said that 9/11 should be named “Do Unto Muslims Day”, where we treat Muslims in the US the way they treat Christians in Saudi Arabia. If they complain about rights being violated, let them do something about their own record the next 364 days and we’ll adjust acordingly.
Similarly, palestinian propaganda never mentions all the rockets/ etc shot into Israel but only helecopter raids the other way. Next katousha rocket lands, send 20 captured ones the other way. If they complain, point to their posters at US universities and say, “but THEY don’t count!”
carter was, is and continues to be a failure. He let our best asset in the middle east, once know as ‘Little America’ fall to the evil we now must confront in a global war.
obammy mammy has set the same stage in South America.
What you may call failure, I call, traitors. holder represents Gitmo prisoners, look it up.
They must all be removed.
Did any one mention the “wag the dog” aspect of all this. The economy is tanking. The
White House is Marxist. Let’s have old time show trials.
“Save & created” is a catch-all to help Obama since he’s fond of talking out of both sides of his mouth with doublespeak jargon; it is nothing–like the so-called “stimulus” package–except a terrible boondoggle to grow government & pay off Democrat donors. The Porkulus is millions of Harpy eggs just waiting to hatch & haunt Obama. The false numbers just make him look stupid, corrupt, & inept.
And this is only his first year.
Good points Kent. Here is how I see it playing out: Act 1 – In Canada, all permits for building as well as renovating mosques are yanked, due to a lack of reciprocity in Muslim majority countries, when it comes to churches, synagogues and the like. Act 2 – Those leaders in Muslim majority countries threaten to shut off the flow of oil, and anything else they export. Act 3 – The stakes are raised, Canada lets Saudi Arabia, and the other Muslim majority countries know
that there are plans to seize their oil fields and where they get their natural gas.
Act 4 – Saudi Arabia, and the other Muslim majority countries say to Muslims in countries
where Muslims are less than half the population: You are on your own. We need the money from selling oil and natural gas, more than you need our financial support.
Now, the likelihood of the current horde of deformed souls, zombie, and other assorted ilk
inside the Beltway will go for this is the same as a leopard is capable of changing its spots.
Therefore, an interim government until Palin is able to set things to right from the Oval Office.
Lincoln,
Read “energy victory” by dr Robert Zubrin for a LOT more ammo on a plan like that. And a very workable one.
Let’s also not forget that Jimmah *personally* overrode the election results and insisted on the installation of Robert Mugabe as Zimbabwe’s president.
How many deaths has that led to?
how many terrorists were created when the CIA and the British overthrew the government in Iran and put in place the brutal shaw? how many terrorists were created when Reagan made Saddam his best buddy? how many when Reagan sent weapons and funds for suicide bomber children to the ayatollah?
