I could not agree with you more. What happened to decency and public service? It will not be reflected in the next administration..quite the opposite. Take Care, Kaye
What happened to decency and just plain old manners, Kaye? The total lack of decorum and dignity is stunning. I've had enough of the next guy and know overload of his constant blather is on the way.
I was talking with a friend about this. Being of a certain age (Carter was the first president I ever voted for, turned 18 in 1978) . I don't remember a great deal about his presidency, because even though I was old enough to vote, I didn't know a damn thing. : )
And he was a wonderful human being. If there is an afterlife, I hope he is with his wife once more.
He was so careful to separate his business dealings before he took office. Didn't want an appearance of impropriety. Contrast that to the grifter that's about to take over again. Monetizing everything.
I have always been of the impression that making money off your office during your term is not allowed. I guess the rules do not apply anymore. I also hope he is with his wife.
He was a wonderful man, husband, father, farmer and President. I have the utmost respect for him above all other Presidents. He was a doer not a talker:)
He spoke his mind, he spoke his thoughts, his actions where his own, He walked to the beat of his own drum, Honest Forthright, I am not sure in my life time we will ever see another President carry his self as Carter did.
His post presidency years were a triumph of decency and service. He was what Christians are supposed to be.
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely. Why can't the angry and judgemental, who also call themselves "Christians", see the hypocrisy, Boud? It truly baffles me.

ReplyDeleteI agree wholly with everything you wrote, Far Side.
DeleteI totally agree with you and all the commenters. We need more human beings like Carter. He will be missed.
ReplyDeleteRita, he will be missed. We don't all have to agree for civil. The rude, crude, name calling and shouting is nothing to be proud of.
DeleteActions always speak louder than words. He was a president I can be proud of.
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely, Val. He had integrity.
DeleteI am glad Pres. Carter's funeral in Washington will be held when Biden is still the President.
ReplyDeleteKaye
Me, too. I don't want to think what would happen otherwise, Kaye.
DeleteAs an exvangelical, I admire how he lived his faith.
ReplyDeleteHe did that, AC. He put Christ back into Christian.
DeleteYes, indeed.
ReplyDeleteIndeed, Dora.
DeleteI agree. No-one in current politics comes close to him in terms of service or integrity.
ReplyDeleteNot one, e. That says a lot.
DeleteHe spoke his mind, he spoke his thoughts, his actions where his own, He walked to the beat of his own drum, Honest Forthright, I am not sure in my life time we will ever see another President carry his self as Carter did.
ReplyDeleteI agree, Tommy. Sadly.
DeleteYes, I only hear good things about Jimmy Carter, as opposed to the behaviour of later presidents, especially the president elect.
ReplyDeleteHe was real, nick.
DeleteHe did many good things that Presidents before and after him have not done. Can you imagine our next President helping to build houses?
ReplyDeleteNO! He was under-appreciated as president. He lived a life to be proud of, just because it was his inner grace, Lori.
