Jimmy Carter: Critics of the President are Racists

According to Jimmy Carter, the man most Americans view as the most ineffectual President in US history, the chief reason for which can only presumably be the colour of his skin, has told the US press that critics of the President are racists.

At the weekend a great many Americans (lowest estimates were penned in the 'tens of thousands', more independent sources quoted 1.5 - 2 million) descended on Washington to protest at the President's agenda for the nation. They are all critics of the current trend in the White House. Are they all racists?

Those who decry the President's abortion legislation on the basis that all are created in the Image and Likeness of God and that to sanction the killing of the unborn is a gross invasion into the womb and an assault on innocent human life? Are they all racist too?

Those who protest at the rationing of health care for the elderly, infirm and terminally ill and the prospect of those people either starving or dehydrating to death in US clinics? Are they all racist too?

Those who defend with their voices the Sanctity of Marriage as being between one man and one woman and that in no way does a homosexual union constitute, either in the eyes of God or man, a fruitful and loving marriage? Are they all racists too?

Those who believe and take umbrage to the appearance that the financial difficulties now being experienced by the US are being taken advantage of in a worrying State takeover of enterprise by stealth, under the guise of 'financial regulation and reform' and that Obama's chief priority is starting to seem like a bid to bring the United States into the iron grip of State socialism, protectionism and control? Are those people racists?

And finally, those who would draw attention to the fact that Jimmy Carter is a leading 'luminary' of the quite possibly nefarious Bilderberg group, a group attended by Timothy Geithner of the current Obama administration, a group accountable to nobody and who black out the publication of any of the discussions which take place therein; a group which intimidate journalists, even Guardian journalists, who try to uncover what is taking place there, a group which clearly has an agenda for the World all of its own? Are those people racists too?

When people claim that democracy, if it ever indeed existed, has been hijacked by a group of eugenicists, thieves, thugs and usurers who, to all extent and purposes, appear to be dyed-in-the-wool Hitler enthusiasts and that Obama is the man they want to get the job done? Are those people racists?

Jimmy Carter. The one thing Hitler hated was the idea that anybody could be critical of his ideas. He was, if ever there was a prime example, an extreme and terrible racist. To denounce critics of President Obama as racist when their concerns are valid, in that they believe that the US Constitution is being torn to shreds along with the God-given dignity of the right to life, is one way in which to engage in a debate. It is, however, not the right way.
