The Fly Who Won't Leave The Picnic

Well the worst president in the history of the United States is at it again, buzzing around and suggesting that resistance to Obama's policies are racial blowback.  Did anyone bring a can of Raid?  It wasn't enough that Carter nearly destroyed our economy during his tenure.  Now he's out shilling for Hugo Chavez and extolling the virtues of murderous Palestinian extremists.  What's next?   Oh we have that.  Now America, the America that elected a black president, is somehow resisting this same president's wise agenda because he is black.  No Jimmy; it's because Obama is wrong; like you were wrong and just like the rest of you liberal bozos are wrong wanting to take this country down the road to socialism.

Hauling out the race card is the worst thing you could do for the country at this time.  But why should I be reminding a former president?  A president who's oath was to protect and defend the constitution and our way of life.  I don't think Carter or Obama believe that oath.  They want to reinvent America into a quasi-communist utopia and Americans are saying "NO" .....BIG TIME.


But there is a method to Carter's madness.  He not just another bleeding heart wracked by White Guilt.  He still has politician in him.  Carter realizes that this whole Obama-liberal thing is blowing up.  He is doing what his ilk has been trained to do throughout their career when their ideas don't wash.  Deflect, deflect, deflect.  What better shield than race?  It generates sympathy for the purported victim.  It raises ire.  It uses hate to motivate to action.  That's what's really happening here.  You may think of Carter as an old dodderer, and he is.  But I think he is enjoying stirring this pot from his throne of irrelevance.

The problem is, and always will be, the consequences.  If Carter helps polarize America along race lines it is bad for everyone.  Bad for America.  But the administration is in a place it doesn't want to be in the fight for the hearts and minds of Americans.   The administration is losing this fight because of its failed economic strategy and black-hole spending.  The Democrats are showing themselves uniquely unqualified to lead, but rather than galvanizing the legislature, with ideas coming in from both sides of the aisle, for the good of America,  they seem committed to a doomsday scenario whose trigger is "race".
