Ever Wonder Why the Democratic Emblem is a Jackass?Well, this would be a good example of it:
Former President Jimmy Carter said today, while in Birmingham, England, the detention of terror suspects at the Guantanamo Bay Naval base was an embarrassment and had given extremists an excuse to attack the U.S.Carter also criticized the U.S.-led war in Iraq as "unnecessary and unjust."
"I think what's going on in Guantanamo Bay and other places is a disgrace to the U.S.A.," he told a news conference at the Baptist World Alliance's centenary conference. "I wouldn't say it's the cause of terrorism, but it has given impetus and excuses to potential terrorists to lash out at our country and justify their despicable acts." (emphasis added)
So here comes Jimmy Carter, the man who sat there for 444 days wringing his hands over the Iranian hostage crisis rather than going to Congress for a declaration of war over the outrage, coming along and saying that our killing of terrorists and holding captured terrorists "has given impetus and excuses" for terrorism. If there is a single American most responsible for the war we are in today it is Jimmy Carter - the man who weakened the United States, coddled dictators (the SOB actually kissed Soviet dictator Leonid Brezhnev) and presided over the creation of modern Islamo-fascism in Iran. Our best and bravest are out there fighting to repair the damage done by the Carters of the world.

Really, how difficult is this concept?
Bad guys do bad guy things. If it accomplishes their goals (money, power), then they do it more, because it worked, and they got what they wanted.
If good guys stop the bad guys from doing bad guy things, the bad guys get mad and try to do things (bad things, of course) to make the good guys go away. That can mean hurting the good guys, or those the good guys care about (and most good guys care about everyone that's not a bad guy to one extent or another).
And they're going to SAY (they may even believe it... they do have to justify things in their own minds) that they're only doing the bad things because of what the good guys did (how dare anyone keep me from doing whatever I want???).
Does that mean that stopping the bad guys from doing bad guy things was wrong? Of course not! And only fools will listen to the bad guys' justifications and believe it to be sound reasoning and a basis for trying to get the good guys to change what they're doing to stop the bad guys.

I have never wondered why the jackass was the symbol of the Democratic party. I have seen it as a admission of who they are, stupid and stubborn

Not long ago, six or eight months, Carter was on the Matthews show (Softball, when Dems are on; Nutball when Reps) and he said that the American Revolution had been a mistake, that we could have non-violently resolved our differences with The Crown and gone our way through modernity much like the Canadians. Question: If one denounces the whole founding and foundation of America... CAN WE CALL THEM UNAMERICAN NOW?!?!!?!?
