You know, I'd support the AWB if it included law enforcment officers too. I mean, none of the BG's will ahve assault rifles after the ban so if the police were to use rifles it would be an excesive use of force when a pistol would do!

OTOH, Jimmy Carter is a pretty strong arguement for planned parenthood.

I remember a funny picture of Carter in the Oval office, wearing a plaid shirt, and hiking boots, eating out of a bucket of KFC in his lap. I tried to find it, but this is all I could come up with...
Disturbing, I know. Maybe he thinks that his superpowers can save us all. After reading his last book, about the Middle East, I can tell you that there is no telling what might be going on in that man's peanut brain. His handlers really need to keep him from embarrassing himself any more than he already has. That is if he has much of a staff left. I seem to remember that several of his staff quit after his last anti-Semitic rant.

Carter is a moron and further proof of the need to have some kind of licencing to allow people to shoot their mouths off.

All that training and he still couldn't figure out how to pronounce it.
During his presidential campaign they often touted that Jimmy was a "nuclear engineer." He was not. Some sources state that his title in the Navy was "surface warfare officer."
Carter never claimed to be a "nuclear engineer" he claimed he was a "nucular engineer."
He was a line officer, which means he rotated through several jobs.

Here's some of the things he said.
"But none of us wants to own an assault weapon, because we have no desire to kill policemen or go to a school or workplace to see how many victims we can accumulate before we are finally shot or take our own lives.
That's got to be one of the most ignorant things I ever heard. Just because someone owns an assault weapon automatically makes them want to go out and use LEO's, school kids or fellow workers as target practice?
What do you expect from someone the Iranians thought was such a joke they didn't release the hostages until after the Gipper took office.

Ok, Jimmy Carter ain't getting popular around here with his stand on guns.
However, he is a key figure in the in the Habitat for Humanity project.
And he was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize in 2002. Only two other presidents received that award,
Theodore Roosevelt and Woodrow Wilson.
Ain't bad for an unpopular, dumb old guy who says stupid things.

I wish he'd concentrate on building houses for poor folks and shut up about anything else.

Yes, you are correct on Carter receiving the Nobel Peace prize.
I recall that the great environmentalist, former Vice President Al Gore won it in 2007,
another guy who says stupid things.
I guess I missed your point.

The committe who awarded it to him has said they only did it as a barb at President Bush.
If he had any class at all, he would have declined to accept an award only given to irk a current President.
I was born in 86, but I still haven't figured out for the life of me why anyone could give any consideration to anything that comes out of that man's mouth, then or now.
Disclaimer: He has done good work with Habitat for Humanity. He just needs to put down the microphone and pick up a

again.
