JIMMY CARTER HAS LOST HIS MIND......AGAIN !

Former President Jimmy Carter is once again in the news and is once again in the news for siding against the United States. The United Nations Human Rights Council has long been a joke since it has boasted as its members countries such as Libya, Syria and several other countries who have been known for violations of human rights. This Council came into the lime light when the United Nations was debating the final resolution against then Saddam Hussein's Iraq when it was discovered that Libya was the country heading the Council. The United States has been actively involved in attempting to change the Council so that it is represented by countries that have records that favor human rights. Carter is now siding with countries that are in violation of the true meaning of the Council and have a less than stellar records for human rights. He has spoken against the U.S. backed purge of the Council and stated, " the United States was not going to dominate all the other nations of the world in the Human Rights Council." Carter informed the U.N. Council on Foreign Relations that he had made the above , "promise, " to Egypt, Pakistan and Cuba and that the U.S. insistence that abusers of human rights be excluded from the Commission , "subverted, " his promise. Carter even protested this to Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice. Carter now is hoping that, "when the vote is taken, the other members will outvote the United States." Why does this failed former President continually take a stand against anything that the United States is for. He not only undermines the current administration but during the Clinton years he brokered the deal that allowed North Korea to restart their nuclear program much to the dismay of many in the Clinton administration. Countries that are anti-United States tout Cater as a hero because of his seemingly anti-American stance in nearly ALL world affairs. His foreign policy was an absolute failure while he was President and his diplomacy as a former President has been just as disastrous. I sometimes wonder whether he is from Georgia, United States or Georgia while a member of the Soviet bloc, since he continually favors petty dictatorships and terrorist nations over his own country in foreign affairs. This type of policy was a prime factor in the disastrous foreign policy that he had as President. His weakness toward these petty dictatorships and radical Islamic regimes greatly contributed to many of the problems in the Middle East region that the world has had to deal with since he left office. Carter was a failed President who has managed to garner that failure into a supposed elder statesman status who is a disgrace to this country in the way he consistently opposes the U.S. in world politics. Though he has little credibility within our country those who have many of his socialistic and anti-American views around the world still look to him as the savior from ,"imperialist America," which is why he is always a threat to our foreign policy. I don't know whether he is attempting to change his legacy of failure through this anti-American stance or whether he is just an idiot who cannot keep his mouth shut......or both !
