A Legacy of Failure: America Can Survive A Jimmy Carter & A Barack Obama. The Real Question Is, Can America Survive Its Misinformed, Class Envious & Easily Distracted Citizenry?

Klaus Rohrich / Canada Free Press

Back during the 2008 presidential campaign a lot of conservatives predicted that if Obama were elected president his administration would amount to Jimmy Carter’s second term. Little did anyone at the time realize just how prescient those predictions turned out to be.

After all, it was Jimmy Carter that enabled Islamic fundamentalism to take root in Iran through his support in deposing Shah Mohammad Reza Pahlavi. It’s very likely true that the Shah was a son-of-a-gun that established SAVAK, a secret police force that brutally suppressed any political opposition against the regime. But in point of fact, he was our son-of-a-gun who supported progress and to a great degree, western ideals.

It was under the Shah’s rule that Iranian women gained the right to an education, a development that was much lamented by connoisseurs of fine Persian rugs, because young Iranian girls went to school instead of spending their days hand tying thousands of tiny knots to form exquisite and expensive carpets.

Of course, the witless Jimmy Carter was very concerned about human rights abuses in Iran and through his various machinations created the conditions under which Ayatollah Khomeini was able to seize power from the Shah, and thus replace the hated SAVAK with the current SAVAMA, an organization whose brutality far exceeds that of SAVAK.

Khomeini rewarded the hapless Carter by invading the US Embassy in Tehran and holding American Diplomats hostage for 444 days, releasing them on the very day Ronald Reagan was sworn is as President. There’s little reason to ask why, because we all know what Reagan would have done had those hostages not been released.

Jimmy Carter’s “foreign” “policy” is directly responsible for the resurgence of fundamental Islam in the Middle East

Thus Jimmy Carter’s “foreign” “policy” is directly responsible for the resurgence of fundamental Islam in the Middle East, among numerous other disasters, both foreign and domestic.

Nearly 4 decades later another Democrat President takes up where Jimmy Carter left off, naively and narcissistically believing that he could tame the Islamist beast. He started with his Cairo apology tour, recounting how evil America had in the past mistreated Islam and under his administration this mistreatment would be rectified.

Of course, no such thing has happened. In fact, the damage this President has done far exceeds anything for which the clumsy and misguided Carter is responsible. The so-called Arab Spring was a Pollyanna fantasy that belied reality. Obama’s claim that the Muslim Brotherhood is a secular organization is akin to claiming that the Vatican isn’t Catholic. And many Americans, as well as America’s traditional allies, believe that Obama supports the Muslim Brotherhood and all it stands for.
