First Things has a very good article on the late President Jimmy Carter. He was pro-life! Unfortunately the Democrat Party today is the Party of infanticide and death and encourages other outrages and tragedies associated with contempt for the innocent unborn. If a political party encourages its members to have abortions up to the 9th month and sells it as a good thing, “health care”, it doesn’t take much of a leap of logic for other political ideologues to see death as a convenient way to get rid of their human problems too, such as acts of terrorism against innocent people!
I personally think that like the KKK and other racist organizations that Catholics are forbidden to join without the threat of excommunication, so too being affiliated with the Democrat Party should be added to the list. Just my most humble and logical opinion!
Here’s a sound byte from the First Things article on Jimmy Carter, read the full article HERE:
James Earl Carter Jr., the 40th president of the United States, who died at age 100 on December 29, has been called an enigma. Many say he was a failure as president but a good man who lived an exemplary life. One distinction, however, should be receiving more attention. It is a fact that may astonish anyone who does not remember Carter’s term in office: Carter was a Democrat and pro-life. He never ceased to be either, even as radical pro-choice—arguably pro-abortion—activists took over the Democratic party in the forty-four years after the peanut farmer from Georgia left the White House.

When president's die, many engage in whitewashing an otherwise disastrous record and Jimmy Carter is no exception. Lest we forget, Carter was a failure. His sanctimonious "foreign policy" gave us a radicalized Iran and the Mullahs, the ill effects we are still feeling today. He was a terrible ex-president, interfering in foreign policy to the frustration of both the Reagan and Clinton administrations. He sucked up to dictators. To many Jews, he was antisemitic.
His brand of Christianity, to many, was swamy and off-putting. His economic policies wreaked havoc on working men and women, so much so he was booted from office after one term, losing to Ronald Reagan in a landslide, 489 electoral votes to 46, and losing the popular vote by around 50 percent to 49 percent.
Since K will soon be singing the praises of pro-abortion Biden, I thought I would post this link from the brilliant Victor Davis Hanson on "The National Nightmare" being over:

Former President Jimmy Carter was pro-abortion. He favored abortions in regard to the following situations: Conceptions via rape or incest.
He also favored abortion when the expectant mother's life was in supposed danger of death.
Jimmy Carter believed that Jesus Christ would approve abortions in cases "of rape or incest or if the mother’s life was in danger."
Mister Carter favored the promotion of contraception via sex education.
Jimmy Carter favored the Culture Of Death via his support of same-sex "marriage." He even believed that "Jesus would approve of gay marriage. I think Jesus would encourage any love affair if it was honest and sincere and was not damaging to anyone else and I don’t see that gay marriage damages anyone else."
Jimmy Carter lacked the True Faith. In turn, he espoused several horrific moral positions. But fortunately, the Father of Mercies will judge Mister Carter.
The First Things article that Father McDonald said in regard to Jimmy: "And may he rest in peace." I concur with that.
I believe that Mister Jimmy Carter possessed many wonderful qualities. Again, may Jimmy Carter rest in peace. Peace also to his family.
Pax.

The modern tragedy of Iran began, not with Carter, but with the CIA backed overthrow in 1959 of Prime Minister Mohammed Mosaddeq following his nationalization of the British owned oil industry. (Eisenhower was in office.) Shah Reza Pahlavi ruled the country brutally, with support from the USA) until 1979. (Kennedy, Johnson, Nixon, Ford, and Carter were in office.) That's what led to a radicalized Iran and the Mullahs.
K, wrong again but never in doubt. The Shah was no sweetheart, but he was definitely the lesser of two evils in Iran. Women were visible in public life, did not have to wear the burka, and Christians were not persecuted. There are numerous American publications from the 1960s which demonstrate this but you choose leftwing ideology over facts.
TJM - No, I am not wrong. And I understand that facts don't intrude into your self-delusions.
K, look in the mirror if you want to see self-delusions. LOL
