Generally Speaking

Since I am working in Bandon all week, and get very little in the way of Global news there, I make it a point to catch up on the week ends. It amazes me how often one of the things I pick up during this week end study is some inane, stupid or anti-American statement by Jimmy "the cracker" Carter.
Why does this guy get such massive coverage? Think about it...he was a one term President who single handedly drove the U.S. into double digit inflation while embarrassing us internationally with his poor handling of the Iran hostage crisis. He was a babbling buffoon then and is an older one now. He is given honors in those European countries who hate America for its successes because he denigrates our country, and is patted on his gray head like an old pet.
Look at it this way, try to think of another president that is referred to in the familiar way that Jimmy Carter is. Even Bill Clinton is not referred to as Billy Clinton, nor Johnny Kennedy, nor Dicky Nixon. This harmful old dog needs to be muzzled or caged or, even better, his quotes moved into the entertainment section of the paper along with the wisdom of Britney or Paris.

Politicians & Voters (Dumb & Dumber?)

How is it going?
Are you as amazed by the complacency and overall stupidity of the American people (as defined by media polls) as I am. I understand that most politicians are (eventually) power and money hungry nihilist seeking only to perpetuate their own position, but the people have to vote to keep them there...and they do! Pelosi, Feinstien, Reid, Kennedy, Kerry...over and over they vote to keep these self serving demi-gods in power. Regardless of what outrageous thing they do or say..regardless of how they trash our own country internationally and seek to blame us because an envious world hates us, we re-elect them.
Pelosi dances over to the middle east and announces that Israel and some Arab countries made it clear they want to negotiate more closely, and the next day those countries deny her statement publicly...a babbling American babe who suffers visions of personal grandeur. You have Feinstien constantly talking integrity as she sets on her sub committee directing millions of dollars of contracts to her husbands company, Reid and his land dealings, Kennedy and his drunken speeches, and Kerry the war hero. Is that a bunch of vote getters or what.
And now you have Gore, Academy award in hand, out spewing his nonsense to an adoring public who actually believe his tripe that we are heating up the planet by being BAD PEOPLE. Scientist say Mars and Mercury are also warming so there must be SUV's there too! Or maybe it's the solar activity that is increasing like the REAL scientist are alluding to. No...then they couldn't blame us nasty Americans for destroying our planet. Have you seen the movie? Only an idiot would believe that Saint Gore wanders through airports in early morning to catch red-eye flights to give his little talks to a caring world. The last time he carried his own bag through an airport without an entourage was he was in college. That is only one of many lies in the movie. He fails to mention in the segment with the ships rusting atop dry land that the lake is drying up because the feeding water sources are being diverted for irrigation in a failed plan, or that the polar bear bit was years in the making. Everyone has heard about his personal energy use (overuse) and the fact that it's his own company he buys his "offsets" from. And now there is talk of him running for President again. The American people in their stupor just might elect him. Go figure. JT
