Discussion: Jimmy Carter: Prophetic President

Thank you so much, President Carter, for your sincere concern for us. Thank you for being such a very thoughtful person when approaching an issue or a problem. Our nation–and the world–would be in so much better shape had we followed through on just half of your proposals, namely your energy policy and concern for the environment as well as our dependence on Middle East oil. Your proposals for electoral reform are sorely needed.

Jimmy Carter, you were president when I was a entering my teens–and I have such strong, positive memories of you and how you approached a problem. Problem-solving skills have been lacking for such a long time now that most in the younger generations don’t really know how to even begin. Thank whatever god is out there we have been blessed with President Obama these last six-plus years.

When your time to pass on does come, I will celebrate your life, sir. I will send out a prayer for you and your loved ones. Thank you and god speed.

And having Kennedy’s assassination fresh in the public mind didn’t hurt his persuasiveness, either.

Yes, you are right. He was another humble man who did the right thing. He wasn’t as gentle as Jimmy, but was brutally honest and didn’t suffer fools lightly.

An earlier President warned of the power of “the military-industrial complex”. Laying waste to Carter and all he stood for, was an opening salvo in corporate dominatio. St. Ronny The Cororate Shilll, always good with a script, was the perfect sockpuppet. Today we have vast inequality, accelerated trade agreements, adulterated “food products”, and a list far, far to long.
