Jimmy Carter was indeed a naval officer who appears to have served honorably. And he did it in one of the most challenging positions in the entire service.
Jimmy Carter was also a clear antisemite that totally cozied up to the terrorists of Hamas. He took every opportunity available after he left office to undercut Israel and provide aid and comfort to Israel‘s enemies who were attempting to eradicate Jews in the Middle East.

GTFO with that.

A caveman would understand the difference between Israel's government and Jewish people.

I’m sure you would defend Al Sharptons anti-Semitic comments as well. After he passes, and gets a statue and a street named after him in every Democrat ran city, I’ll look forward to you telling us what a great guy he was and how all his comments were taken out of context.

Democrats gotta stick together!!!

Suuuuuure. You can’t claim to care about Jewish People while calling for them to all be forced to flee their homeland.
It might be different if the Arabs would be willing to dwell peacefully alongside the Jews but we all know they will not accept anything short of eradication.
Claiming to be merely „anti Zionist“ is just a polite cover story for antisemitism.
The Nazis began their reign also claiming that they only wanted the Jews to leave Germany. The pogroms and then the ovens started soon afterwards

If you're honest, and I think you are, you would admit that the Israel's haven't been warm loving neighbors. Remember shatila and sabra? President Carter believed it was tough to make friends when you bombed thier children. Anti Israeli government and anti Jewish are two separate things.

What on earth are you talking about? Link?

Also, you don't have to prove you care about Jewish people to establish you're not an anti-semite. Would you be convinced by someone saying, "that guy's a racist. he doesn't care about black people?"

It's about hatred, not ambivalence.

I do tire of corrosive, partisan politics that colors everything. Nick Adams X Profile: Alpha Male. Best selling author endorsed by President Trump. ugg.

Brigitte Gabriel is a Lebanese-American conservative activist, author and lecturer, and critic of Islam.

And Yes, there is such a thing as Trickle down. Look at any chart and suspiciously, the people at the very top income increased their income by thousands of percentage points during that wonderous and massive tax cut for the wealthy. Everybody else? Well, they largely didn't get a lot of benefit during the time of great productivity for our country.'

Carter was a bad 'post president'? Now that really is partisan. I do judge president's by what they do after they served in office. Carter is one of our greatest post-presidents, if not our greatest, ever. He didn't just go retire on some ranch. He worked tirelessly for a better world.

Now, perhaps also read some of the left-leaning sources on Carter. Not just these wacky right wing sources. Oh, and as President, hard to judge fully given circumstances and the short term. I'd say he was a 'fair' president and certainly faced tough times beyond his control including the Iran hostage situation.

As for Reagan, many positives as well as negatives. I do give him strong credit for bringing down the berlin wall (other factors as well) and handling of many international issues. Probably should not have served the second term as there were already signs of decline.

Reagan's tax cuts helped the economy get out of the mess Carter got it in...10% inflation and double digit interest rates. It freed up massive amounts of money for businesses to reinvest, increase production, hiring unemployed.

"Amid a double-dip recession, President Reagan signed the Economic Recovery Tax Act in 1981. This cut the top personal income tax rate from 70% to 50% over a three-year period. Inside-the-Beltway conventional wisdom was again turned on its head as federal receipts grew by 33% in real terms from 1983 through 1989. To this day, the Reagan tax cuts are widely accused of exploding the federal deficit, but the deficit as a share of gross domestic product fell by half during this period. Give much of the credit to slower public spending, which grew by an average of 11.8% a year in the six years before 1981 but by only 7% a year in the six years after 1981."

In Actual Dollars, Tax Cuts Boost Revenue Time After Time

From the Kennedy legislation in 1964 to the Trump package in 2017, the naysayers are proven wrong again and again

I have a stack of econ textbooks up to my chest and none say anything about trickle down economics, it's a made up term by the left...it's the same old same old garbage from the left that Reps care for the rich and not the poor.

There is No Such Thing as Trickle-Down Economics

The Myth of 'Trickle-Down Economics'

SHARE: Twitter Facebook Linkedin Email More Pop quiz: what do you do when you are a politician who finds himself incapable of debating the merits of an opposing viewpoint? Answer: invent a viewpoint no one holds, critique that viewpoint, and claim intellectual victory. That’s what happens when...

from Thomas Sowell:
"No such theory ("trickle down") has been found in even the most voluminous and learned histories of economic theories, including J.A. Schumpeter’s monumental 1,260-page History of Economic Analysis. Yet this non-existent theory has become the object of denunciations from the pages of the New York Times and the Washington Post to the political arena. It has been attacked by Professor Paul Krugman of Princeton and Professor Peter Corning of Stanford, among others, and similar attacks have been repeated as far away as India. It is a classic example of arguing against a caricature instead of confronting the argument actually made."

Thomas Sowell on the "trickle Down" Myth: Workers Are Always Paid First and Then Profits Flow Upward Later – If at All

From Chapter 23 (“Myths About Markets”) in Thomas Sowell’s book “Basic Economics: A Common Sense Guide to the Economy“: The phrase “trickle down” often comes up in discussions of tax policies. Historically, tax revenues have in a number of instances gone up when tax rates have been reduced. But...

Economist Thomas Sowell noted in his book Basic Economics, “’Trickle down’ has been a characterization and rejection of what somebody else supposedly believed.” But “no recognized economist of any school of thought has ever had any such theory or made any such proposal. It is a straw man. It cannot be found in even the most voluminous and learned histories of economic theories.”
