In The Times on Saturday, May 3, 2008 (p5A) Robin Harbin tries to re-write history when it comes to Jimmy Carter.
Jimmy Carter is an embarrassment to Georgia and the U.S.–more now than when he was president. You can draw a direct line from Jimmy to 9-11. Bet she did not read that in his library. Twisting your friends’ arms to make a deal with the Devil is hardly laudatory no matter what you call it. When you have only one friend in the world you don’t throw them under the bus. Does the name Manuel Noriega mean anything to her either? He owed his dictatorship franchise to Jimmy. Manuel didn’t use furry kittens on his opponents. Georgia will have to wait at least another generation to regain any political credibility for the White House. If Jimmy got what he deserved it would not be in a library, nor in Plains, it would be somewhere dark and foreboding, where the victims of his pacifism where tortured and died.
We all want peace and freedom. However sometimes you have to prioritize. If you want peace more, you lay down and give up your freedom. That was Jimmy’s philosophy. If you want freedom more, you fight for it. That is what true Americans do. That is what we have always done. That is what we will do despite Jimmy and his ilk. Count on it!
Even Jimmy realized his folly when he authorized nukes in Europe at the end of his tenure. He then has since forgotten.
Thanks goodness Jane Browder’s letter is on the same page. As usual, Jane brings sanity back into the Debate. Unfortunately Jane’s letter is not available on The Times (online) , otherwise I would provide a link here.

Joan King loses all credibility as a political commentator when she asserts this: “President Bush wants to pass the war on to his successor. If he can’t claim success in Iraq, at least the failure can be attributed to someone else.”
Here is a simple truth for our times: President Bush cannot escape responsibility for the war, whether it be blame or credit. His reputation and legacy are tangled inextricably in the war. He is well aware of that. When Ms. King asserts that he aims to disentangle himself from it, she shows us how thin her analysis is in matters related to the war and larger questions of national security.

Less government means more freedom. Less tax means more money to save or spend on what you want AND more revenue for government. Less spending means more money for important government services like the military. This concept is fundamental—and unique–to the Republican Party. It is what the “Brand” Republican stands for. It is the fundamental difference between Republicans and the other party. If you want less taxes, less bureaucrats, less regulation, then you are one of us. Climb on board with the winning Republicans.
