Who Is the Real Torturer?

Jimmy Carter is at is again - slamming the sitting president for a variety of faults, and accusing him of "torturing" those lovable fellows that some of us call "terrorists". Carter has a way of getting under my skin, but this time he has gone to far. History will show him as the weakest president of the 20th century (at least), and the source of much of the modern strife in the world. Yet there he is - slamming a man who at least had the guts to do what Carter should have done back in '79.

Mr. Carter, who is the real torturer? YOU ARE. Everytime you show your face in public you remind the American people of the worst 444 days of American history, when we all sat in front of our televisions and heard Walter Cronkite tally up the score - "day 276, day 277, day 278....." - need I go on? Watching you on TV with your "Mr. Rodgers'" sweater telling us all to save energy, and then federally mandating the 55 mph speed limit. That was appropriate for your presidency, as it was a real crawl for those four years. Wasn't it under your presidency that the term "misery index" was coined?

This one takes the prize for me, from Wikipedia - "The crisis ended with the signing of the Algiers Accords in Algeria on January 19, 1981. The hostages were formally released into United States custody the following day. The release took place just minutes after Ronald Reagan was officially sworn in as Carter's successor."

Do us a favor - come on up to PA and get a cabin at Spruce Creek, and spend your remaining days fishing and out of sight. We will treat you kindly, and you will cease torturing real Americans who remember the debacle of your presidency.
