The Carter presidency was the hallmark of the 20th century. I should say the biggest joke of the 20th century. Mondale and carter did a hell of a job when Iran grabbed our people over there. We were the laughing stock of the world when his rilliant atempt to free them ended in failure. Also 20% prime rate, 14% mortgages. What an administration. Talk about Iraq. If the liberal, press and the power hungry dems had joined in behind our government at war, it very well could have been overwith by now. Those dummies have emboldened the enemy to an immeasurable extent. The mainstrean media has provided the enemy with the knowledge that we're unable to execute a war. Wake up! The left wing idiots are now fighting the CIA types about monitoring terrorists calls into the country. Are they nuts? Are we going to wait until one of our cities is destroyed before we wake up? Look at what's already happened in the UK. How do you think they prevented the attacks, by protecting the imaginary rights of people who want to wipe out the western world? This partisan garbage is going to result in a very bad and tragic future in the US.
