RIP to Jimmy Carter...a truly good man who truly moved the needle addressing homelessness, the SALT treaty, the Palestinian stalemate and world hunger. A damned fine man who I hope is united with his lovely wife. His story is a great one. He was a man who looked for solutions instead of arguing about problems.
 
Statements honoring Jimmy have been made by Biden and Obama. No word yet from the MAGAtard yet. I suspect his entire team of advisors are literally pig piling him to keep him from making crude and classless comments on social media. But I made a bet with my wife that between now and the funeral he'll open his mouth and spew his "weave" of vitriolic diarrhea all down the front of himself......there is no way on this earth he will be able to stop himself.
 
He had such a strong smiling Christian idealism, never defending himself from criticism, which made him easy pickings for the sarcastic asides in every primetime Reagan speech, shown live by all 3 networks every couple of months throughout the 80s, then denied to Clinton. Carter would take each hit with Christian martyr silence, never responding. His public beatings were one part of the sadness of the 80s decade.
 
If you have a problem with Jimmy Carter, I have a problem with you. He is what you want a human being to be. A Christian to be. Lead my example.

So I say once again, if you have a problem with Jimmy Carter, I have a problem with you. He was truly a unifier.
 
RIP Mr President

What a great man of principle and kindness. Not the best president, but the best man to sit behind that desk and to wield responsibly the dangerous and awesome power of that office. We can all learn much from his decency and dedication to public service. He was a man of the people. His righteous legacy will live on in perpetuity. He rests now back in the company of his lovely wife and soul mate Rosalynn. RIP.
 
Naturally, MAGA has got Terrible President trending on Twitter.

I would imagine that like John McCain's funeral, Trump won't attend Jimmy's funeral but send Ivanka and Jared. The guy doesn't have the dignity to share a bench with the Obama's Bush's, Clinton's and Biden's nor should he stain their company.
 


Four score and seven years ago our fathers brought forth on this continent, a new nation, conceived in Liberty, and dedicated to the proposition that all men are created equal.

Now we are engaged in a great civil war, testing whether that nation, or any nation so conceived and so dedicated, can long endure. We are met on a great battle-field of that war. We have come to dedicate a portion of that field, as a final resting place for those who here gave their lives that that nation might live. It is altogether fitting and proper that we should do this.

But, in a larger sense, we can not dedicate -- we can not consecrate -- we can not hallow -- this ground. The brave men, living and dead, who struggled here, have consecrated it, far above our poor power to add or detract. The world will little note, nor long remember what we say here, but it can never forget what they did here. It is for us the living, rather, to be dedicated here to the unfinished work which they who fought here have thus far so nobly advanced. It is rather for us to be here dedicated to the great task remaining before us -- that from these honored dead we take increased devotion to that cause for which they gave the last full measure of devotion -- that we here highly resolve that these dead shall not have died in vain -- that this nation, under God, shall have a new birth of freedom -- and that government of the people, by the people, for the people, shall not perish from the earth.

After he left office, Cater returned to his two bedroom house. He didn't do paid speeches and ghost written books, saying he never really wanted to be rich. Instead he built houses and worked to supply clean water.

Rosalynn Carter upset fashion world by wearing same gown to inaugural ball that she had worn when Jimmy was inaugurated as governor. She said she didn't really need another evening gown.

Carter had (primitive at the time) solar panels installed in White House. They provided enough electricity for family's personal needs. Reagan's first act on assuming presidency was having them removed and returning to fossil fuels. Never replaced.

Carter Center requested instead of sending flowers spend a day in community service.

I can still recite it up to the word battlefield. 4th grade. I soon forgot the rest over the next 10 years. And 4th-grade Sunday School, the books of the Old Testament. Same process, down to the 1st 5 books now. While I later discarded all those systems, there are gracious people on all sides of any issue. Jimmy Carter is in my favorite 3. He tried to live the unselfish, voluntary poverty values espoused in the 60s-70s Revolution. Maybe I'll get psyched up sometime and write his specifics here. I doubt it, I didn't write paragraphs and paragraphs about my Walton or West memories when they died.
