I consider myself
a bit of a first amendment extremist, so when Rosie
O'Donnell says that 9/11 was an inside job, or Harry
Belafonte says that Bush is a terrorist, I just sit back and
think about what a great country we live in when irrelevant
Hollywood actorvists and washed-up jamacian musicians can
say idiotic things without being imprisoned.
But there's a
different standard when you're a former President of the
United States. A few days ago, Jimmy Carter opened up his
dentures yet again to bash Israel, this time saying that the
Bush administration's refusal to accept Hamas is quote,
"criminal."
The Real Story is that Jimmy Carter has proven just how
wrong, and how dangerous, someone can be. Maybe President
Carter needs to be reminded that Hamas is officially a
TERRORIST ORGANIZATION that uses unfathomable violence to
achieve their stated goal of destroying Israel, an ally of
this country. He says that we should all be able to
co-exist in peace -- awww, that's so cute -- while
conveniently ignoring the fact that Hamas brutally executed
members of Fatah, sometimes right in front of their own
families. And remember, these were people that share their
religion; people they supposedly had something in common
with! If they greet fellow Muslims with brutal executions,
what do you think they'd do to the Christians, or the Jews?
This morning on my radio program, Mitt Romney said that
Carter's comments show that he's quote, "taken a break from
reality" but it's more like a permanent vacation. You can
write off this idiocy off as the ramblings of a deranged,
misguided old man, but the fact is that as an ex-President
his comments hold weight and that means there will always be
some dopes that will listen to him. He may have the right
to say these things, but given his position in the world, he
has the responsibility not to.
