During the former President's term of office the press had a field day bashing him for everything and anything with the exception of 9/11. As others have pointed out he also endured much from other President's Bill Clinton whose conduct in the White House was scandalous and who lied in public office. When he left the White House I was told he left many of the areas in a shambles with writing on the walls and computers; explicit language throughout; and ripped nearly everything off of the Presidential jet that was not nailed down. President Bush did not want to make a big deal out of it so no press person ever published the information. As for Carter he is the one with have to thank for initiating the mortgage mess and Iraq. He is the author of the 1977 Community Reinvestment Act (CRA). Banks are compelled to make loans to low-income borrowers in particular “communities of color” that may not qualify strictly in economic terms. The CRA was backed and promoted by the left and benefited various community organizations such as ACORN (Association of Community Organization for Reform Now). It is estimated at least $100 billion in such loans were made in the first twenty years of this Act. The CRA is enforced by four federal government bureaucracies: the Fed, the Comptroller of the Currency, the Office of Thrift Supervision, and FDIC. This law can prohibit or postpone any bank merger, branch expansion, or new branch creation by any of the aforementioned four bureaucracies if a CRA “protest” is issued by a “community group” and thus ACORN used its legal or illegal methods to continuous force loans for people who could not afford the payments. Now, for Iraq it can be traced to the liberal democratic policies of Jimmy Carter, who created a firestorm that destabilized our greatest ally in the Muslim world, the shah of Iran in favor of a religious man, the ayatollah Khomeini. Carter saw Khomeini as a holy man in a revolution rather than a father of modern terrorism. Carter’s ambassador to the UN, Andrew Young, and said “Khomeini will eventually be hailed as a saint.” Carter’s Iranian ambassador, William Sullivan said “Khomeini is a Gandhi-like figure.” Carter’s advisor James Bill proclaimed to Newsweek in an interview on February 12, 1979 that Khomeini was not a mad muahid, but a man of “impeccable integrity and honesty. Carter even went so far as to pressure the Shah of Iran to make concessions to the ayatollah including the release of political prisoners. Carter aided the Islamic Revolution and without this aid it may have died. Gen. Robert Huyser, Carter's military liaison to Iran also stated "The president could have publicly condemned Khomeini and even kidnapped him and then bartered for an exchange with the [American Embassy] hostages, but the president was indignant. 'One cannot do that to a holy man,' he said. This belief pattern of Carter’s and the left continues today - that evil really does not exist; people are basically good; America should embrace the perpetrators and castigate the victims. So we have Obama who continues this pattern through his series of apologies to the world for our evil, the release of the prisoners in Gittmo, funding Hamas and the Gaza strip, lack of support for our ally Israel, opening the doors of our land to all from that area and the list goes on…Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5041404668013008872.post-77046274627376436262009-05-10T11:30:00.000-07:002009-05-10T11:30:00.000-07:00BUsh ws unfortunate enough to be elected when he w...BUsh ws unfortunate enough to be elected when he was. Whoever defeated the Socialist putsch in 2000 would have received much the same.<br /><br />As I have continually said, Bush isn't the best we ever produced, but he is far from the worst.<br /><br />In all my 60 years I have never seen such hatred and venom spewed at a president, even by former presidents. The conduct of CLinton and Carter over the last 8 years goes beyond shameful.<br /><br />Whether we agree or disagree with W, he stood by his values and didn't waiver in the winds of the left or polls.<br /><br />I have no doubt that when all the dust settles and history looks back, he will given much more approval then he receives today, provided free thought is still allowed in America.Lewhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06422249750094117697noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5041404668013008872.post-56490566792699691352009-05-09T23:51:00.000-07:002009-05-09T23:51:00.000-07:00The Bush family deserves to left alone by the soci...The Bush family deserves to left alone by the social brown noses that slther from party to party in Preston Park. Former President Bush kept this country safe for the last eight years, no thanks to the slimeball democrats and their piss poor America politics. The MSM should be ashmned of themselves for how they treated and<br />are still treating the former President. NO OTHER President has has endured the piles of nasty comments, editorial,pictures like Bush did, and is still dealing with. I have yet to see or hear any conservative media say they want to see BHO killed or murdered or any really nasty, virulent comments get thrown the Mullah in White House's way. May the former President and Mrs. Bush enjoy their new digs. My family was safer by far with this man at the helm of this country. That is all unraveling before our very faces by the mullah obamaham, and his ilk. We are now in grave danger and most people do not see this or just refuse to. Thank you President Bush!PatriotUSAhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00171721694866847529noreply@blogger.com
