Cry Liberal, Cry

Jimmy Carter. Unlike most of these young Moonbats, I remember the Carter Administration. One of the most disastrous Presidencies in the history of this country. Double digit inflation, double digit unemployment. They called it the "Misery Index". You might recall that the Kerry campaign tried resurrecting "Misery Index" against the Bush campaign last Spring. Americans laughed. Under a digit inflation and under 10% unemployment... duh. Thanks for reminding Americans how bad it could get. The Soviet Union was still roaring strong then... invaded Afghanistan. Jimmy boycotted the Olympics. Sure showed them. Iran took over our Embassy. Held Americans hostage. Jimmy sent two or three helicopters. Good show of force and resolve there Jimmy. Since his land slide defeat by one of the greatest Presidents in our history, Jimmy's coddled Castro, Kim Jong-il (he's the one sent to negotiate during the Clinton Administration when NotSoBright got nowhere), Yasser Arafat, et all. This moron has been on the wrong side of history most of my life and still you idiots listen to him. Oh well, this is America and you have the right to be stupid and wrong, at least you're finally losing elections.

I remember making minimum wage and having it go up three times in two years. Sure, you were ahead for all of about two weeks, then boom ! You had less buying power than before. Then when you asked your boss for a raise, he'd say, "You just got one.". Sucked. Jimmy was the illustration of everything wrong with Democrats and even though I was young at the time; the lesson was not lost on me.
