I have always thought that Jimmy Carter is not only one of our greatest presidents but is also the perfect example of James Kavanaugh’s quote and book ~ There are men too gentle to live among wolves. Carter is an extremely intelligent, gentle and deeply religious man who tried to do his best and live among the global elite and Wall Street wolves but they never trusted his sincerity and eventually brought him down and replaced him with a cartoon image of Republican leadership and deceit, Ronald Reagan who initiated our gradual decent to global terror, torture and finally moral irrelevance: Allen L Roland, PhD

“There are men too gentle to live among wolves” James Kavanaugh

Two years ago I wrote an article about Jimmy Carter calling him America’s most famous truth teller saying our 2002 Nobel Peace Prize winner and former president Jimmy Carter is America’s most famous truth teller and moral revolutionist. See article ~ http://www.veteranstoday.com/2013/07/31/jimmy-carter-americas-most-famous-truth-teller-and-moral-revolutionist/

Carter was way ahead of his time when he declared then that “The U.S has no functioning Democracy” which did not appear in the American mainstream press; Carter also rightfully defended NSA whistleblower Edward Snowden actions declaring that “the invasion of human rights and American privacy has gone too far” and finally Carter correctly argued that “Israel’s continued control and colonization of Palestine land have been the primary obstacles to a comprehensive peace agreement in the Middle East.”~ and yet Jimmy Carter continued to be ostracized by the global elite and main stream press who obviously deeply feared his revolutionary moral truths ~ and now Jimmy is preparing to depart with a spreading and perhaps incurable cancer, but he most certainly will not depart quietly into the night.

Carter’s most famous speech is his Crisis of Confidence or Spiritual Malaise speech on July 15. 1979 which was deeply prophetic of future unfolding events which have led us to our present morally deteriorated state ~ see 2 minute video of excerpts ~ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_lHplhMChZQ

Here are excerpts of Carter’s exact words on the moral apathy which has gripped our nation as well as our lack of a spiritual base ~ “Our people are losing that faith, not only in government itself but in the ability as citizens to serve as the ultimate rulers and shapers of our democracy. As a people we know our past and we are proud of it. Our progress has been part of the living history of America, even the world. We always believed that we were part of a great movement of humanity itself called democracy, involved in the search for freedom, and that belief has always strengthened us in our purpose. But just as we are losing our confidence in the future, we are also beginning to close the door on our past….But we’ve discovered that owning things and consuming things does not satisfy our longing for meaning. We’ve learned that piling up material goods cannot fill the emptiness of lives which have no confidence or purpose…. The symptoms of this crisis of the American spirit are all around us. For the first time in the history of our country a majority of our people believe that the next 5 years will be worse than the past 5 years. Two-thirds of our people do not even vote. The productivity of American workers is actually dropping, and the willingness of Americans to save for the future has fallen below that of all other people in the Western world.”

Jimmy Carter is a global moral force and trouble shooter for fairness and justice who gives living truth to these words by William James ~ words which also happen to be an inspiration for myself ~ “I am done with great things and big things and great institutions and big successes, and I am for those tiny invisible molecular forces that work from individual to individual, creeping through the crannies of the world like so many rootlets or like the capillary oozing water, yet which, if you give them time, will bend the hardest monuments of human pride”

Here are some famous Jimmy Carter quotes which give ample evidence of his moral courage;

” War may sometimes be a necessary evil. But no matter how necessary, it is always an evil, never a good. We will not learn how to live together in peace by killing each other’s children.“ Jimmy Carter

“America did not invent human rights. In a very real sense human rights invented America.“ Jimmy Carter

“Globalization, as defined by rich people like us, is a very nice thing… you are talking about the Internet, you are talking about cell phones, you are talking about computers. This doesn’t affect two-thirds of the people of the world.“ Jimmy Carter

“I think what’s going on in Guantanamo Bay and other places is a disgrace to the U.S.A. I wouldn’t say it’s the cause of terrorism, but it has given impetus and excuses to potential terrorists to lash out at our country and justify their despicable acts.“ Jimmy Carter
