Here’s the latest outrage from Jimmy Carter, the ex-President so many Americans love to hate: He claims the Civil War - which he calls, Southern-style, “The War Between the States” - was un-Christian and could have been avoided.
The comments come in a new book, “In Lincoln’s Hand: His Original Manuscripts With Commentary By Distinguished Americans.” Carter comments on a passage by Lincoln in which Lincoln writes: “I am almost ready to say this is probably true - that God wills this contest, and wills that it shall not end yet.”
Carter writes that he finds the Lincoln writing “very troubling.” Continues Carter: “He ignores the fact that the tragic combat might have been avoided altogether, and that the leaders of both sides, overwhelmingly Christian, were violating a basic premise of their belief as followers of the Prince of Peace.” He concludes: “A legitimate question for historians is how soon the blight of slavery would have been terminated peacefully in America, as in Great Britain and other civilized societies.”

What a douchebag. How safely in his sofa sits the Hipocrite, judging the past deeds of those dead men, who in life were extraordinary and selfless. Men on both sides of the war. Carter is truly the incarnation of Satan, there is no other explination for his longevity with a long record of mediocrity and mendacity. Of meddlesome grandstanding as his only achievements. Vile, bloodstained tyrant. Feeble in his foibles, a fabled fabulist and feckless aperatchik.
I know, let's fund a HUGE study to figure out if this genius-like insight might actually be true. I mean imagine the ramifications if we could just back on history from our present 20/20 perspective and think of some subtle tweak that might have changed everything!
Perhaps if Lincoln's grandfather had been murdered. Or if Archduke Ferdinand had only had the presence of mind that final morning to don his small shirt of mail, made entirely of mithril which is light as silk and hard as dragon scales, as you know.
Or wait - what if Jimmy Carter had been an actual LEADER and not just an impotent buffoon? Now we're getting somewhere.
One good thing about Carter's longevity is he keeps proving, more and more, what a douchebag he really is. The longer he lives, the more he tells us how he really thinks.
He's an absolutist pacifist. That is the measure by which he sees the deeds of those Presidents who have come after him. That is why he has been so critical. If you really think about it, he has just given us an explanation of why he did NOTHING about the Iranian hostage crisis.
Oh wait, he did send helicopters into a desert sandstorm, in a pathetically failed mission.
I wonder how hard the Pentagon had to tighten the thumbscrews to get him to do that?
Absolutist Pacifists are, for sure, doing the work of Satan.
