The Carter Conspiracy

Why has the Angry Left suddenly decided to resurrect Jimmy Carter and promote him as some kind of saint? Why is Carter suddenly so full of himself that he writes books like this then refuses to debate? The answer is simple: Carter is an asshole and the Angry Left is desperate for a hero. I browsed through the book at Barnes & Noble recently and rather than buying it I wanted to rip it up. Carter’s bias against Israel is so apparent it is loathsome, and his distortion of the facts and glaring inaccuracies in the book make it not even useful as a door stop or paperweight.

In my opinion, Carter has to be the absolute worst President this country has ever been saddled with. His administration made every mistake in the book and then some. His recent public statements and books only serve to remind me of the mess he made of everything. If you want to read an even better rebuttal of Carter’s book and also to see why Carter refuses to debate Alan Dershowitz, trot on over to the Huffington Post and read Dershowitz’s critique of Carter’s book. Be sure to read the comments of the Carter sycophants from the Angry Left that Huffington seems to attract.

Like Carter, they spew venom and insanity and refuse to listen to any dissenting opinion. Carter himself refuses to debate the very book he supposedly wrote “to stimulate debate”. That is a clear indication to me that he knows his arguments are just as full of crap as he is. Using the word “apartheid” in the title of a book about the Palestinian/Israeli conflict is nothing more than a sensationalist, self-aggrandizing attempt to clean up his “legacy.” Carter should do us all a favor and go into retirement before he goes completely senile. He is already halfway there.

Former President Carter Says He Won’t Visit Brandeis
_{BOSTON (AP) — 12/15/2006, 2:41 p.m. ET}

Former President Carter has decided not to visit Brandeis University to talk about his new book “Palestine: Peace not Apartheid” because he does not want to debate Harvard Law professor Alan Dershowitz as the university had requested.

“I don’t want to have a conversation even indirectly with Dershowitz,” Carter told The Boston Globe. “There is no need ... for me to debate somebody who, in my opinion, knows nothing about the situation in Palestine.”

The debate request is proof that many in the United States are unwilling to hear an alternative view on the nation’s most taboo foreign policy issue, Israel’s occupation of Palestinian territory, Carter said.

Carter, who brokered the 1978 Camp David peace accord between Israel and Egypt and who received the Nobel Peace Prize in 2002, has said the goal of his book is to provoke dialogue and action.

“There is no debate in America about anything that would be critical of Israel,” he said.

But it’s Carter who is unwilling to debate his own best-selling book, controversial because the title’s inclusion of the word “apartheid” appears to equate the treatment of Palestinians with the state-sanctioned racial segregation that once divided South Africa.

“President Carter said he wrote the book because he wanted to encourage more debate; then why won’t he debate?” Dershowitz said.

The effort to bring Carter to Brandeis began in November when computer science professor and Faculty Senate chairman Harry Mairson wrote to Carter asking whether he would be interested in talking at the university.

“I thought it would be a good idea to go to a campus that had a lot of Jewish students and get a lot questions,” Carter said.

Not that very many people ever read this far down, but this blog was the creation of Allan Kelly and his friend Vilmar. Vilmar moved on to his own blog some time ago, and Allan ran this place alone until his sudden and unexpected death partway through 2006. We all miss him. A lot. Even though he is gone this site will always still be more than a little bit his. We who are left to carry on the BMEWS tradition owe him a great debt of gratitude, and we hope to be able to pay that back by following his last advice to us all:

1. Keep a firm grasp of Right and Wrong
2. Stay involved with government on every level and don't let those bastards get away with a thing
3. Use every legal means to defend yourself in the event of real internal trouble, and, most importantly:
4. Keep talking to each other, whether here or elsewhere

It's been a long strange trip without you Skipper, but thanks for pointing us in the right direction and giving us a swift kick in the behind to get us going. Keep lookin' down on us, will ya? Thanks.
