He’s been supporting Palestinian extremism for many years

When I question his patriotism, don’t dare ask me why.
NEW YORK CITY — Former President Jimmy Carter is reportedly preparing an unprecedented meeting with the leader of Hamas, an organization that the U.S. government considers one of the leading terrorist threats in the world.
The Arabic-language newspaper Al-Hayat reported Tuesday that Carter was planning a trip to Syria for mid-April, during which he would meet with Khaled Meshal, the exiled head of the Palestinian terror group Hamas, on April 18.
Deanna Congileo, Carter’s press secretary, confirmed in an e-mail to FOXNews.com that Carter will be in the Mideast in April. Pressed for comment, Congileo did not deny that the former president is considering visiting Meshal.
“President Carter is planning a trip to the Mideast next week; however, we are still confirming details of the trip and will issue a press release by the end of this week,” wrote Congileo. “I cannot confirm any specific meetings at this point in time.”
Meshal, who lives in Syria to avoid being arrested by the Israeli government, leads Hamas from his seat in Damascus, where he is a guest of Bashar al-Assad’s regime.
The State Department has designated Hamas a “foreign terrorist organization,” and some groups hold Meshal personally responsible for ordering the kidnapping of Israeli soldier Gilad Shalit. State Department spokesman Sean McCormack once said of the prospect of meeting with Meshal, “That’s not something that we could possibly conceive of.”
Hmm..what kind of diplomacy could possibly work for people like this? Who think nothing of killing, maiming, beheading, raping, beating….oh wait…this is the former peanut farmer who has shown us his remarkable peacemaking skills. Didn’t he try this one time already? And did it work??

Jimmy Carter is still relevant?

Jimmuh Cahtuh is still roaming around out there in search of the legacy he was never able to establish as President (I owe him a lot — he was the Democrat POTUS who transformed me into a Conservative — Reagan was the first Republican I ever voted for, thanks entirely to Carter). Unfortunately, good ol’ Jimmy chooses to seek his legacy in opposition to America and the American way of life.
Basically, he is a traitor in every way, shape and form.

Jiminy is an old baboon who is still causing a lot of world wide trouble. I can’t stand that he is being allowed to do this stuff; I cannot stand that he was once a President of this country. I am so embarrassed by his antics. SO should he be- but he’s a softy liberal who likes to stir the cess pools of hell. Ass. There will be blood on his hands because of this.
