Jimmy Carter, he's this guy. Used to be president of this here America. At 89, he still trots around the world ensuring fair elections, building houses for poor people, and telling everyone to cut the racist and sexist shit. Jimmy Carter is a little bit of
and the inevitable pendulum swing back to social conservatism after the free love/drugs 60's and and the vacuous hedonism of the 70's. Saint Ronnie rode the Christian Fundie wave for all it was worth
Trix, you left off Jimmy&#039;s best efforts post presidency- <a href="http://www.cartercenter.org..." target="_blank">" rel="nofollow noopener" title="http://www.cartercenter.org/health/index.html">http://www.cartercenter.org... The man has done so much to eliminate various third world diseases that absolutely devastate those areas- I&#039;d put this far ahead of his Habitat for Humanity work (not that he hasn&#039;t done wonders there also too)
I was lucky enough to spend a week with him and his wife at a private event for the center a few years back and got time to talk to both of them (it was them, a bunch millionaires there for the auction and to hobnob, the secret service and a couple of us lowly A/V techs- zero security hassles because we were so isolated that if you were inside, you weren&#039;t a threat). I listened to him talk about all the work his center is doing to cure things like river blindness and break bone disease and watched him raise 2 million dollars in 2 hours for the cause- beats the hell out of painting nekkid selfies like the most recent ex-pres

One time a business associate and I were pounding beers in the club car of the NYC-DC Metroliner on our way back from an ultimately unsuccessful visit to New York, and my associate was telling me how great Reagan was, free markets, low taxes, yadda-yadda.
I said, &quot;When a country wants to show the world its elections are free and fair, they don&#039;t invite <i>Reagan</i> to come and observe them,&quot; and my companion was enraged, confounded, befuddled. It was sweet.
Plus you gotta love the way Carter puts his thumb in the Israeli expansionists&#039; eye every chance he gets. When you give them an (apparently interminable) &quot;peace process,&quot; you got the moral authority to do that shit.
he is a hell of a woodworker
&quot;That rabbit&#039;s got a vicious streak a mile wide.&quot;
Carter? Wasn&#039;t he appointed by Hitler? or was it Ho Chi Min? Thank god Reagan came in and cleaned things up, amirite?
Yup. Seriously old-school, innit?
Yeah, but has he stopped <i>lusting after women in his heart</i>? The perv.
&quot;Rabbits are assholes&quot;
especially the ones from Caerbannog

he wasn&#039;t nearly the president that he&#039;s become as an ex-president, that&#039;s for sure

And Teddy Kennedy souring the whole liberal wing of the Democratic Party on Carter.
that didn&#039;t help either
I can only imagine, and then laugh hysterically, at what dubya is going to be like if/when he hits 89.
Jimmy...you were the first president I voted for and I would do the same over and over again. You are my hero.
MRA will be MIA.
