The Absurd Report

Captain Ed at The Captain’s Quarter’s responded to a challenge to name the “Ten Worst Americans. The list included the usual suspects like John Wilkes Booth and Benedict Arnold among others.

But the one I found number ten the most interesting of all. Because he is none other than our commie loving ex-President Jimmy Carter who is still alive and breathing, and I certainly hope he gets a chance to read this post.

It’s not that I disagree with Captain Ed on his choice but rather his position because I would have had him much higher on the list.

#10: Jimmy Carter

I would normally leave off any contemporary political person until they had passed away, as their lives still might provide some kind of merit. However, after a promising beginning of his post-presidential career of building houses for the homeless, Carter has inveigled himself into so many foreign-policy crises and made them exponentially worse that it’s becoming more and more difficult to believe it isn’t done with purpose. His efforts to defuse the North Korean crisis deflected what had been until then a rather effective strategy by Bill Clinton to use a military threat to stop Pyongyang from producing nukes. After Carter jumped into the negotiations uninvited – violating the Logan Act – Carter’s prestige within his party and the US forced Clinton to accept the ridiculous Framework agreement that allowed Pyongyang to go nuclear within months. Carter has done the same with Haiti as well, and has traveled the globe to support many a leftist dictator or autocrat as long as they opposed American interests.
