BUSH twenty years from NOW... He's no Jimmy Carter
Advertisements [?]
OK.
I just watched NOW on PBS with David Brancaccio.
An amazing interview with Nobel Prize winner, President Jimmy Carter.
Here is a man who is what, 78 years old?
A vibrant, engaged, curious, ambitious man, who is on a mission to eradicate disease in third world countries.

Speaking about the "Carter Center" an organization who's sole mission is to eradicate easily cured ailments such as "Guinea worm" and elephantiasis.

Jimmy Carter is, according to the right wing, a "whack job".
A man who is "weak" and responsible for the hostage crisis in Iran.
A failure.
A man who was responsible for the oil crisis in the '70's.
This man is a modern day saint as far as I am concerned.

As I watched this incredibly lucid man, discuss the fact that America, the "greatest country ever" a country founded on "Christian values" as we hear all the time,
is so stingy and miserly, it only gives sixteen cents for every one hundred dollars to poor countries.
Far behind Belgium, Sweden, Norway, Canada.
"Liberal" weak countries, as we are told.
A country who lets religiously insane politics bar condoms in countries where AIDS kills women and children at numbers we can't fathom.
What kind of insanity allows that to take place?

Condoms are evil, but people dying of a deadly disease such as AIDS is great policy?

I thought to myself...

What will Bush be doing when he is Carters age?
What good will he and his vapid wife be doing to help make things better?

I think, no I know, what the answer is.
Right wing, insane people like DOCTOR Michael Savage say "Liberalism" is a mental disorder.

I think WE know who is really mentally challenged.

What will BUSH be doing to make things better in our world when he is Jimmy Carters age?

I for one, hope he lives to be 100, so he can see all the destruction and suffering he has wrought.

Although, he probably never will be able to understand it.

May he have an eternity to figure it out in HELL.
