We’ve heard a bit lately that Jimmy Carter, Bill Clinton, and Barak Obama are super-ultra-mega intelligent, and, in fact, too smart to be POTUS. Of course, lefties then contrast that claim with the supposed dullards; George W. Bush and Ronald Reagan. But, like all really super-smart politicians, Carter dropped the following comment…
To quote RS McCain, “WHISKEY-TANGO-FOXTROT???”
You know, I kinda consider myself a reasonalby intelligent guy, and I think I can help out the former, and epically failed POTUS…
1. The NORKS have, arguably, the most repressive government on the planet.
2. That government is of the Communist persuasion, and history teaches us that Communist countries haven’t done a very good job of feeding their own people. Frankly, they stink on ice at it. The Soviets and ChiComs had massive starvation problems. But don’t worry, they just didn’t have the right people running it, right?
3. While the NORKS eat tree bark, and have just a few hours of electrical power a day, their leaders live like kings.
4. While the NORKS live in misery, their government does devote massive amounts of funds and resources on maintaining a huge military, developing offensive missile systems, and did I mention the nukes?
5. Did I mention that the NORK’s “Dear Leader” keeps much of that military, and the threats to use it, pointed at their prosperous and free neighbor to the south?
So, former-failed-President Carter, I think the real human rights abuses might just lie with the NORK government, not the South. Your claim smacks of a protection racket. The NORKS place their military on the border, sinks South Korean naval vessels, and threaten to nuke everyone, and you want the South to feed every open NORK mouth? Why don’t you suggest that they hand over their lunch money too?
You see folks, the left confuses political ideology with intelligence. Unfortunately, political ideology, and “progressivism” in particular, makes supposedly smart people say really stupid things.
And Carter just jumped on the short bus.

“WHISKEY-TANGO-FOXTROT” indeed!
Why is it that people actually believe that Dem Presidents are so brilliant? I hear that crap all the time from my liberal neighbor.
IMO, children have this fallacy drummed into their heads in school, from K through post-secondary education.
Apparently, denial of reality is a prerequisite for brilliance.
Genius? Well, it’s been awhile since I’ve heard anybody say that.
BTW, I was invested in this oil stock where a competing shell company was set up simply to aid in attempts to steal our IP in court, they had to look like they had some operation… but it was all BS, based in the Bahamas of course.
The guy that set it up was also involved in the William “Cold Cash” Jefferson case, numerous other scams, and had his agents raided by heavily armed FBI agents about ten years ago.
And who does he have on the BOD of this sham company to give it some legitimacy? Jimmy Carter’s son!
You’d think that family of Leftist kooks wouldn’t be anywhere near the oil business… let alone a scam outfit looking to scew somebody out of the tech they developed.
They lost both cases they threw at as, and the judge said they had “major credibility issues”
Same as the Clintons and Obamas, the Carters are scam artists too… just look at Billy Beer, that was worse than Iron City lol
That was illuminating. Typical of the lefties, isn’t it?
Carter…the other worst president in American history.
He should be encouraged. Obama may well take that title from him.
Seriously though, the sad thing is that after all these years, and all the overwhelming evidence, Carter thinks he was right.
Jimmy Carter, he truly is the butt of every moron-joke out there. Obama is quickly replacing him, but Jimmy is still the king. Why can’t some people just fade into obscurity like they are supposed to?
Apparently, the stupid prevents him from knowing when to quit.
Poor Jimmy. It really is past his bedtime.
That be correct sir!
I would say that he is senile, but the fact is that he is just stupid. And his presidency proved that.
That is true. Can’t blame it on anything other than a combination of hubris and liberalism. Or do I repeat myself?
Jimmy Carter should have stuck to building homes in his post-presidential career. He had almost rehabilitated himself. Almost.
You are correct. The charity was a great idea, and well executed. However, he just had to meddle, and on the behalf of tyrants at that.
For South Korea to withhold food from the starving North Korean people is a human rights violation?
Oh, O.K. Jimmi. What would you say to me accusing you of human rights violations in Iran, after all, it was you who knifed the Shah in the back, thereby creating the Islamic Republic of Iran. You Sir bear equal responsibility with the regime of jackals in Tehran for the murder of Neda Agha Soltan and countless others in June 2009.
May God have mercy on your shriveled soul you sick and evil man.
I cannot add anything of value to that comment. Well said.
Senility is a horrible thing to see.
It must have set in sometime prior to 1976.
The peanut farmer needs to stay in Georgia……..preferably the one nearest to Russia…
Well said. Come to think of it, can we send him to Mars?
Jimmy, you idiot rat bastard. Is there a way to keep this fool in N. Korea? Revoke his passport? Anything?
Deportation sounds like a great idea!

Awarded the THE SPOT-ON QUOTE OF THE DAY at:
The Camp Of The Saints
Thanks for that honor Bob. It’s greatly appreciated.
This is old hash for progressives. They portrayed Harry Truman as some kind of genius and Calvin Coolidge as a moron, but Coolidge read the classics in their original languages while Truman did nothing even close to that. It’s an old fallacy based on lies.
Very true Tony. Thanks for the comment, and the info.
You are all missing the point. Con-artists are geniuses. You have to admit that Peanut, Puddle and Poop are first class con-artists.
Very much so. Actually, they are incredibly poor con artists, but no one seems to notice.

It’s time to break the cycle of misinformation and stupidity. These clowns have been getting a free pass for far too long. JC is intellectually bankrupt and viewed as one of the worst Presidents ever…why do we even care what this moron has to say.
Since he is a former POTUS, even a failed one, when he speaks, the MSM notices.
