Charity Homes Built By Jimmy Carter Start To Crumble...

RESIDENTS of a model housing estate bankrolled by Hollywood celebrities and hand-built by Jimmy Carter, the former US president, are complaining that it is falling apart.

Fairway Oaks was built on northern Florida wasteland by 10,000 volunteers, including Carter, in a record 17-day “blitz” organised by the charity Habitat for Humanity.

Eight years later it is better known for cockroaches, mildew and mysterious skin rashes. [...]

One man pulled up his floorboards to find rubbish 5ft deep under his kitchen. Other complaints include cracking walls and rotting door frames that let in rats and ants. Many residents have complained of mildew and mysterious skin rashes.

One resident said her children were suffering from skin complaints. “The intentions are good, but when the politicians and big-shot stars have left we’re stuck with the consequences. This house looks pretty but inside it either stinks or sweats,” she said. [emphasis mine: QC]

You get what you pay for.

Jimmy Carter, Kofi Annan Refused Entry To Zimbabwe

Carter and two other members of The Elders group — former U.N. Secretary-General Kofi Annan and rights advocate Graca Machel, who is married to Nelson Mandela — had planned to assess the country's humanitarian needs as Zimbabweans are stalked by disease and hunger while political crisis occupies its politicians.

But they were told Friday night by former South African President Thabo Mbeki, who is mediating the political crisis, that efforts to secure travel visas for the group had failed, Carter told reporters at a news conference in Johannesburg.

"We are very disappointed that the government of Zimbabwe would not permit us to come in, would not cooperate," Carter said.

It was the first time the 2002 Nobel Peace laureate has been denied permission to carry out a mission in any country, he said.

Do you think we could get away with refusing entry to Jimmy the Dhimmi when he tries to come home? Nah, it couldn't be that easy...

What Carter Hath Wrought

More chaos:

Heading the Hamas delegation in Cairo were Gaza leaders Mahmoud Zahar and Said Siyam. "This meeting is a message to those who don't recognize Hamas' legitimacy as a movement," Zahar said as he left for Egypt, according to Hamas' Web site.

In Cairo, Hamas spokesman Taher Nuhu told The Associated Press that the purported Thursday meeting would be "a recognition of the legitimacy" of Hamas' victory in the Palestinians' parliamentary election in 2006.

Some say Jimmah is doing all this to build a legacy. I say he already has one, and it will be affecting this nation for at least the next century.

Senatorial Responses To The Call To Censure Jimmy The Dhimmi

Usually the nonsense liberals spout is kind of cute, but in wartime their instinctive idiocy is life-threatening. ~ Ann Coulter

My Republican senators are wussing out on this issue. Lindsey "The Lapdog" Graham hasn't responded at all (he's probably waiting for a pat on the head and instructions from John F. U. McCain), and Jim DeMint's office sent a "blah, blah, blah...he's a private citizen doing private things...blah, blah, blah" response. I'm very disappointed in Senator DeMint. His normally brass balls must be out for polishing this week.

But take heart, there are members of Congress who aren't just sitting back with their thumbs up their asses:

"America must speak with one voice against our terrorist enemies," Rep. Joe Knollenberg, R-Mich., said in a statement from his office. "It sends a fundamentally troubling message when an American dignitary is engaged in dialogue with terrorists. My legislation will make sure that taxpayer dollars are not being used to support discussions or negotiations with terrorist groups."

Knollenberg said the Carter Center has received about $19 million in taxpayer funds since 2001. He named his bill the Coordinated American Response to Extreme Radicals Act — or CARTER Act, for short. The Carter Center is housed at Emory University in Atlanta.

The non-binding legislation was forwarded by Rep. Bill Shuster, R-Pa. If adopted, the bill would express the "sense of Congress" that it "disapproves of former President Jimmy Carter's freelance diplomatic efforts in the Middle East, which contradict the stated foreign policy position of the current Administration."

The new legislation is the latest embodiment of scorn directed at Carter over meetings he plans this week with leaders of Hamas, which both the United States and Israel recognize as a terror organization and with which they refuse to negotiate.

Contact your representatives and senators and ask them to support the CARTER Act. And don't forget to sign the petition for the censure of Mr. Carter. I'm not taking "no" for an answer; neither should you.

Jimmah And Hamas, Sitting In A Tree, K-I-S-S-I-N-G!

You couldn't make this shit up if you tried...

A group of more than 50 congressmen from both sides of the aisle have sent a letter beseeching former president Jimmy Carter not to meet with Khaled Meshal, the head of the Palestinian terrorist group Hamas.

The letter, sponsored by Reps. Mark Kirk, R-Ill., and Shelley Berkeley, D-Nev., and signed by congressional leaders including House Minority Leader John Boehner, R-Ohio, and veteran representative Barney Frank, D-Mass., lists the 26 Americans who have been killed in terrorist attacks launched by Hamas.

"President Carter, do not meet with the man who ordered their deaths," wrote the congressmen.

Carter reportedly hugged — and kissed — a Hamas leader Tuesday in the West Bank town of Ramallah on a Mideast visit that is to culminate in a meeting Friday with the group's exiled leader in Damascus, Syria.

Carter's embrace of Nasser Shaer, a senior Hamas politician, at a closed-door reception organized by Carter's office was reported by several news outlets Tuesday. Carter has been widely criticized over the trip by both U.S. and Israeli officials, who have listed Hamas as a terror organization.

Carter also laid a wreath at the grave of Yasser Arafat, whom he praised as a man who fought for "just causes" in the world. The Bush administration and many Israelis blame Arafat for the breakdown of peace talks seven years ago and the violence that followed.

Yeah, that's what immediately leaps to mind when I think of Arafat..."just causes." Like driving Israel into the sea. Like living off the backs of the Palestinian people to become a billionaire Parisian. Like ordering the assassination of United States diplomats.

Carter. Is. An. Idiot. He is a disgrace to this nation.

I contacted both of my Senators today, Jim DeMint and Lindsey Graham (aka McCain's Lapdog) to request that they introduce a Resolution of Censure against former President Jimmy Carter. You can contact your Senators here. You can sign a petition to censure Jimmy the Dhimmi here.

Jimmy "Dhimmi" Carter Meeting With Terrorist Group Hamas

This of course isn't big news. Carter has never met a despot or terrorist he didn't absolutely love (unless they were pro-America).

Speaking from Katmandu, Nepal, where he and a team of observers from the Carter Center monitored national elections, Carter said the U.S. and other parties should not require "pre-requisites" before meeting with the terror group. Hamas has not renounced violence, regularly bombs Israeli towns near its stronghold of Gaza and refuses to recognize Israel's existence.

"Well, you can't always get prerequisites adopted by other people before you even talk to them," Carter said in an interview taped Saturday but aired Sunday on ABC News' "This Week." [...]

Several State Department officials, including the secretary, Condoleezza Rice, criticized his plans. Carter said he had not heard the objections directly, although a State Department spokesman said earlier that a senior official from the department had called the former president.

The State Department says it advised Carter twice against meeting representatives of Hamas, which Washington lists as a terrorist organization.

"I find it hard to understand what is going to be gained by having discussions with Hamas about peace when Hamas is, in fact, the impediment to peace," Rice said Friday, after reports of the planned meeting surfaced.

My favorite line though is Carter calling for "peace with justice." It shows just what a naïve dumbass he is. Why? Because there's only one kind of peace, and it comes with victory, not justice. You win a conflict when your enemy has been utterly demoralized and beaten and asks to stop fighting because they simply cannot go on. Anything else is just a ceasefire.

Does Jimmy Carter Ever Get Tired Of Being Wrong?

Carter: Iran No Threat to Israel Now

ATLANTA (AP) - Former President Jimmy Carter said Wednesday that it was almost inconceivable that Iran would "commit suicide" by launching missiles at Israel.

Speaking at Emory University, Carter, who brokered the 1979 Camp David peace accord between Israel and Egypt, said Israel's superior military power and distance from Iran likely are enough to discourage an actual attack.

"Iran is quite distant from Israel," said Carter, 83. "I think it would be almost inconceivable that Iran would commit suicide by launching one or two missiles of any kind against the nation of Israel."

Jimmy The Dhimmi was stupid enough to buy into the lie that the Ayatollah Khomeini would be better for Iran than the Shah and posed no threat to the United States, but he won't take the current Iranian regime at its word when it says:

Iran's deputy air force commander said Wednesday that Israel is within range of Iran's medium-range missiles and bombers and that Tehran would strike back if Israel "makes a silly mistake."

Carter is an imbecile and an embarrassment.
