Will someone, anyone, please do Jimmy Carter a favor and tell him to
just shut up? He's proving to be a major embarrassment to himself--
and, by ****lling for terrorists, bigots and other downright evil
characters, a major danger to others.
In this latest bizarre example of the former, tellingly related in the
negative, he elevates himself to George Wa****ngtonian status by
proudly proclaiming I cannot tell a lie." But....other presidents
do. And did.
Presidents Should Not Be Liars I do not think the President of the
United States should be a liar, and believe that the overwhelming
majority of U.S. citizens agree with me. For security reasons, the
whole truth cannot always be revealed, but it is quite obvious that
lies are seldom made to protect our nation. Almost invariably, the
political fortunes of the prevaricator are at stake. (snip) I
habitually told my small groups of sup****ters, "If I even make a
misleading statement, don't sup****t me."
Although stigmatized as na=EFve and often having to suffer the
consequences, I maintained this commitment to truthfulness during my
term in office, and it paid off in many ways.
No Jimmy, you didn't suffer the consequences, others did. The lone
example you trot out...
the trust aroused in me by President Anwar Sadat and Prime Minister
Menachim Begin, which was instrumental in orchestrating the Israeli-
Egyptian peace treaty...
=2E..is an ice cold fragile peace that could melt as quickly as a sliver
of ice in the MidEast sun. With your ongoing lies about Israel, few
in Israel or other peace loving areas, have any trust in you. Only
your lying, murderous pals trust your naivete.
And that is not a lie. It is the truth.
