He's just a petty asshole, plain and simple.

#4 Carter takes that idea to its stupid extreme: America is the strongest and best country in the world, therefore everybody who opposes America are the good guys.

This is why Carter always allowed our allies to be undermined and destroyed, and sought to humble America on the world stage, and admit that it is flawed and weak to itself.

His emphasis on "Human Rights" was always done with a big mea culpa for all the human rights violations he assumed America had done, to make everybody so angry at America.

In a way, Carter is like the character Pap Finn (Huckleberry's father), writ large. Pap believed that any man with $50 in his pocket got it by stealing, and should have it taken away from him. Pap never had $50 to his name, so he didn't think that anyone else should, either.

He seems to think that once a week, everybody should humbly go to church and ask forgiveness for being successful the rest of the week. They should use prayer as self-criticism, and lament that they have good food while somebody somewhere does not, etc. America is too confident of its goodness, too self-righteous and smug. It needs to be taken down and people convinced that they aren't happy.

Ecch. The philosophy of the peanut farmer preacher.

#6 Boteach's thesis doesn't hold up.

Carter was a fan of Dictators, in Romania, in Venezuala, in other places. This put him on the side of the powerful.

His hatred of Israel probably comes from more than one cause; hatred of some Jews for not supporting him in 80; hatred of Begin for establishing settlements behind the green line, hatred of himself for not being more popular. Who knows what other devils lurk in that deranged psyche.

#8 The Left does NOT want to be held responsible for anything and everything negative that was Vietnam - starting US involvement + inducing/preventing the fall of Saigon, the Vietnam-Cambodia-Laos boatlifts and killing fields, the domino theory, ignoring Amer's "silent majority" that supported the US anti-Commie effort in SVN-Asia in favor a handful of hippies and the chaos of CounterCulture Revolution, Stagflation STaggression + looming Hyper-inflation, Inflatgression, etal. SOCIALISM + UTOPIANISM > about UPWARD-MOVING NATIONAL = UNIVERSAL SUCCESS, PROSPERITY, + PAN-IDEALISMS, NOT DEFECT, NOT ERROR, NOT DEFEAT, FAILURE, REGRESSIONISM, WAFFL-ISM + TREASONCRATISM + POWERCRATISM, NOT BACKWARD + DOWNWARD. The Weak are NOT supposed to STAY WEAK = WEAKER, let alone PRETEND TO WORLD + SELVES THEY ARE WHAT THEY ARE NOT.
