100 years old. He was the watcher on the wall, the light in darkness. He was the shield that guarded the realms of people. We shall not see his like again. And now his watch has ended.
RIP to Jimmy Carter...a truly good man who truly moved the needle addressing homelessness, the SALT treaty, the Palestinian stalemate and world hunger. A damned fine man who I hope is united with his lovely wife. His story is a great one. He was a man who looked for solutions instead of arguing about problems.
Statements honoring Jimmy have been made by Biden and Obama. No word yet from the MAGAtard yet. I suspect his entire team of advisors are literally pig piling him to keep him from making crude and classless comments on social media. But I made a bet with my wife that between now and the funeral he'll open his mouth and spew his "weave" of vitriolic diarrhea all down the front of himself......there is no way on this earth he will be able to stop himself.
He had such a strong smiling Christian idealism, never defending himself from criticism, which made him easy pickings for the sarcastic asides in every primetime Reagan speech, shown live by all 3 networks every couple of months throughout the 80s, then denied to Clinton. Carter would take each hit with Christian martyr silence, never responding. His public beatings were one part of the sadness of the 80s decade.
Really principled guy. You had to be to write "Peace Not Apartheid" in the mid 2000s. Jimmy was eviscerated by the media at the time and refused to back down. I'll always admire him for that, a truly outsider President. RIP
RIP Jimmy Carter. You were exactly who we needed when we needed you. Unfortunately we didn't listen. And you did wonderful things anyway.
He did things I disagreed with. But he was fundamentally a good person who tried to make the world better. Not our greatest president but possibly kindest. And considering what we are facing, a little kindness sounds very good.
Not the greatest president, but unquestionably the best man (in my lifetime) to be president and the best POST-president ever. Also possibly the only real sincere Christian president.
If you have a problem with Jimmy Carter, I have a problem with you. He is what you want a human being to be. A Christian to be. Lead my example. So I say once again, if you have a problem with Jimmy Carter, I have a problem with you. He was truly a unifier.
RIP Mr President What a great man of principle and kindness. Not the best president, but the best man to sit behind that desk and to wield responsibly the dangerous and awesome power of that office. We can all learn much from his decency and dedication to public service. He was a man of the people. His righteous legacy will live on in perpetuity. He rests now back in the company of his lovely wife and soul mate Rosalynn. RIP.
That second tweet reeks of irony given who they voted for and who has themselves befriended truly awful people. Again I say, show me a person who has a problem with Jimmy Carter, I'll show you a person who has lost their way.
