President Jimmy Carter
[See http://dailycaller.com/2013/07/17/jimmy-carter-america-no-longer-has-a-functioning-democracy/]
Some say that Jimmy Carter was the worst US President ever.
Realistically, he would have done much better if the deep state had not been making war on US democracy, and if the American public had not replaced him with a brain-dead suit (Ronald Reagan) who was willing both to deal with terrorists AND to risk American lives to get elected AND who successfully lied about it. Reagan got another free pass during the Iran-Contra hearings, which should have led to his impeachment.
By the way, I have only ever voted for two Presidents: Jimmy Carter and Ronald Reagan. Soon after voting for Reagan I realized that the American "electoral process" is a sham, and I have avoided the polls ever since.
For those of you who believe that voting is a duty, I refer you to the US Constitution:
Article IV, Section 2
The Citizens of each State shall be entitled to all Privileges and Immunities of Citizens in the several States.
Fourteenth Amendment
1: All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the State wherein they reside. No State shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States; nor shall any State deprive any person of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws.
US citizens are entitled at birth. The Constitution does not obligate them to vote. And it does not entitle the unborn to anything.
Ours is a republic, not a democracy. When citizens vote, they merely select the thug they like the best from the rogue's gallery of criminals made available by the system. When the successful candidate becomes an office holder, he or she is NOT obligated to fulfill their electioneering promises or even to uphold their Constitutional oath.
Jimmy Carter is right, and no act of voting on the part of you or anyone else is going to create a functioning democracy in America:
"The master's tools will never dismantle the master's house. They may allow us temporarily to beat him at his own game, but they will never enable us to bring about genuine change."
Audre Lorde
Voting is one of the master's tools, the very one to which Ms. Lorde referred.
The people have no tools of liberation.
By the way, the symbolism in the Carter presidency is fascinating:
- His initials "JC" are suggestive of Jesus Christ;
- However, as a former nuclear submariner he was a beast who rose up out of the sea; and
- As a farmer he was a beast who rose up out of the earth.
Perhaps America considers him to be a bad President because he did not live up to his Biblical roots, either good or evil.
