#3 Thanks to you Carter, and your fucked up policies that allowed it to thrive.

#4 From the man who planted the radical Islamic seed in Iran. Right.

Hey Peanut Boy, George has killed more islamic terrorists than you or Clinton ever did. That is a measure of security you, your party, and the ponies you ride in on have failed to achieve. The kind of security you offer is to go quietly into the train cars.

#5 I'm terrified every time Carter opens his mouth again.

#7 WORST PRESIDENT EVER. A NATIONAL DISGRACE.

#8 He's campaigning for his kid?
Hope sonny's got another job lined up...
I remember his foreign policy. For the sake of the nation, he should be beaten everytime he offers advice on the subject.

#9 I probably don't need to preach to the Choir but if any of you Rantburgers have NOT read Mark Bowden's excellent Guests of the Ayatollah, get crackin'.

Carter (and Teddy "Glug Glug" Kennedy) should both have their jaws wired shut on the topic of Islamo-Fascist terror!

#10 Even if it were possible to ignore his Iranian fiasco (and it isn't), Carter's constant undermining of US policy and enablement of terror groups only increases the danger we face. STFU Jimmy.

#12 I bought it a month or so ago, Dave D! I'ma plannin' on pickin it up as soon as I finish "The Impolitically Correct Guide to Islam and the Crusades", lol! Makes for some gooooood readin' when I ride the bus in to Atlanta (near the Carter Center, no less, PTUI!). Like the Dixie Twits, "I'm ashamed that ex-President is from the same State as I am!"

#13 I'd become a Christian if my prayer for Carter and Friends to suddenly have a rash of serious brain aneurysms would be answered.

#14 I strongly request the Navy to take the new "Jimmy Carter" submarine to Georgia, and mount Jimmy (the ex-pres)on the forepart of the conning tower as a masthead prior to deep dive testing. I'm sure that would be very appropriate.

I hate Jimmy the Nothing more than I hate any politician. I have hoped that since his defeat, he would learn to go home and shut up. Now, I believe the only hope for us is to have someone (maybe from Mexico?) shoot him and the horse he rode in on. I have more respect for that bas$$$$ Bill Clinton than I do for Carter - which is like comparing bovine feces with whale feces.

#15 Jimmy Carter would know since he's the one that put us in this situation.

#16 JHC, this gawdamn fool will not shut his face and go away. Can we arrange a one way trip for Jimmah and his good buddy Shimon Peres ? These two asses can do more damage in ten minutes than the remaining citizens can repair in one year.

Have you sincerely looked at Animism? It cuts you loose from the guilt and allows funk into your life. Get up from behind the soft chair of denial and answer the door-bell of heaven. Just say, Ima love tuti-fruiti and figure all the Gawds do too.

#20 Hey, I've got a bit of interesting news for yall. Whoopie Goldberg, only recently appearing on Broadway and hosting awards shows on TV to talk about her bush, is now hosting a moronic daily morning radio show here in Sin City. It kicks off at 5 AM each day.

So how far is down? Pretty fucking far, Whoopie.

#21 I am still unable to discern how it was ever determined that Whoopi has even a single iota of talent. I don't know what coat tail it is that she sleds through life on but acting skill and comedic timing have no part in it.

#22 She'll soon be making the "Oprah" trek to the Cape to discover her Zulu ancestry and drink district home brew.

#24 Hey! Whoopi was OK as Guinan in Star Trek: The Next Generation. Cut her a little slack. That was ... uh, 15 years ago?

#26 Ah, for those nostalgic days of Jimmy Carter, embassy hostages, energy shortages, and double digit inflation.

#27 The former president said the Bush administration made a "terrible mistake" by invading Iraq and diverting troops from Afghanistan.

Carter. I am reminded of that Star Trek episode where Kirk got split into two parts by the transporter - one half was all "do", and the other half was all "think". Carter is all "think" and very little "do". There is a good balance between the two, but Carter is nowhere near that happy medium. Always worrying about the corner cases and what-ifs and not just addressing the meat of the problem, never able to understand that unless a few people are upset, you're not making decisions, and that is bad. Especially in this day and age. I like Bush because he is a thinker and a doer both. You can't wring your hands while their are "doer" terrorists out there trying to flood NYC, knock down buildings, poison water supplies, get their hands on WMD, and God knows what else. I prefer to get moving and correct course as you go.

And what is Carter's alternative here? Wait until the terrorists go away? They won't. They'll just quietly grow until they think they own the place and then all hell will break loose. "Oh, by the way, we've got enough guns and people that we can sneak into your house when you least expect it and kill you and your family. I know you're Buddhist but convert to Islam or die. And here's a burka for your wife. See you at the mosque five times a day and don't forget to tie your donkey to the hitching post when you get there." The terrorists have been in the dark ages since their inception. Heck, some have even been through more enlightened times but reverted! Think it won't happen again? No, Carter, the time has come to get off your a$$ and do something. Or I'm pretty sure you would be one of those guys trying to explain to his family why they now need to convert to another religion and wear a burqa.

Why are there more terrorists? Because Bush has started to take down the hornet's nest hopefully before it grows into the walls of the house! He's making decisions that cause these people to reveal themselves for who they really are or would like to be! If you were to wait until you had the perfect solution figured out, it would be too late.

But wait, there's more! I can't even begin to count how many times a half-hearted attempt to pressure people to come to the right conclusion instead of blasting them has ended up costing way more lives than if they had just blasted them in the first place. You have to break their will or they will keep it up until it is slowly crushed later.

Git 'er dun. Defeatocrats: Git outta the way so we can git this over wid! Your attempts at an apology are just falling on deaf ears and costing lives on both sides. You are the perfect prey for a terrorist.
