So what is this guy’s deal, anyway? Could he possibly become any more of a spokesman for anti-American and anti-Israeli sentiment? I will tell you, I have lived now through seven presidential administrations (having been born in 1969), and I have NEVER felt the anger and shame toward an American president that I now feel toward possibly the most failed president in our history. That, of course, would be one Jimmy Carter.

I thought I was angry and disappointed when I learned that Bill Clinton had been receiving sexual favors in the Oval Office from a young intern, and then lying about it under oath…and I was. However, that pales in comparison to what I would call the treasonous acts of our thirty-ninth president.

Imagine my dismay as I read about the peanut-farmer-turned-president going to the West Bank city of Ramallah yesterday and actually laying a wreath of roses on the tomb of Yasser Arafat. That’s right, the same terror leader who was responsible for the deaths of two American diplomats in the Sudan in 1973, and untold atrocities against our partner and ally in the region, Israel.

Although his trip is unsanctioned, and the State Department says he is doing all of this as a private American citizen, not as a former American President, the fact remains that he is in fact a former president. His acts show true thoughtlessness, at best, and true apostasy at worst, of his supposed loyalties to the United States of America and all she stands for.

Then, to top it all off, Carter has plans to meet with exiled Hammas leader Khaled Mashaal in Damascus on Friday. That is, if he doesn’t defect to Iran or something before then.

You know, after seeing his actions since leaving office in 1980, I am starting to think that maybe Carter didn’t have such a failed presidency after all. Maybe he had ulterior motives for our great nation all along!
