We can criticize those in "body politic" .. it is the patriotic thing to do
(yes, question their decisions .. talk .. discuss .. and let these 'politicians' know when they are out of touch, just plain wrong .. )
Hmm ..
didn't old Jimmy also say during this administration
that CRITICIZING O ... was 'racist'?
So .. just begs the question ..
to ask Jimmy Carter at a press conference ..
"Mr Carter .. I seem to remember you claiming that any critique of the current officeholder is 'racist'. NOW that you've come out critiquing him for Human Rights Violations .. do you see your position .. in a different way? (as in .. how to reconcile this previous stance of yours .. with your now public statements!)"

President Jimmy Carter came out swinging at President Obama in a New York Times opinion editorial. The former president, a Democrat, accused the current president, also a Democrat, of violating 10 of the 30 articles of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. Carter further said, "United States is abandoning its role as the global champion of human rights."
President Carter served a single term as the 39th president from 1977 before President Ronald Reagan defeated him in a landslide election.
Jimmy Carter, now 87, criticized Obama for using Predator drones to kill enemies in foreign countries. Carter wrote, "Instead of making the world safer, America's violation of international human rights abets our enemies and alienates our friends."
Carter also criticized Obama for violating signing the National Defense Authorization Act, which he says violates American's civil rights: "This law violates the right to freedom of expression and to be presumed innocent until proved guilty, two other rights enshrined in the declaration."

THIS is nothing but just ANOTHER case of extreme Left WIngers EATING their own when they get in the way of each other..
Must be some kind of "INFERERIORITY” or a power thing with Democrats?
Even a BAD Penny has SOME value..ROFLMAO..
Obama would not throw out the Constitution or WOULD HE !!!!!
As for Jimmy Carter’s point relative to the “Universal Declaration of Human Rights;” perhaps, Jimmy should read some of Lock and Jefferson’s writings about our Unalienable Rights. That is, our only Rights.
Other than that, Carter has some points for once.
The thing HERE is that Carter,, who has LONG been as critical of America and her past Presidents since he was effectively tossed out of office as ANY Hostile Foreign Leader,, has very much more in common with the guy he's currently criticizing the anyone else other then the Socialist's Dictators he's SUPPORTED and ADMIRED over the years.. WHICH,, from MY perspective,, should be a serous factor when assessing his accusations..
THIS is like Manson calling Bundy a BAAAAD man..
Only Republicans must keep their mouths shut.
