(“[Jimmy Carter] was one of the few Presidents
who really was an advocate for the Black community
out of a pureness of heart,”
said the Rev. Bernice King.)
I voted for Republican President Gerald Ford
because Jack Anderson a protégé of Drew Pearson said
Ford was the more experienced of two good men.
Democrat Jimmy was in Truth
the better of the two men
(“I don’t doubt for a minute
someday we’ll all learn to start livin’ together …
Someday we will,
but I wonder if the world can wait that long”**)
Jimmy was a soldier
And I have blurted out
That if we didn’t have soldiers
We’d have much less chance for having War
and bleached bones and jumbled residue of “civilizations”*
But all in all’ Jimmy is a very good person, statesman, and good good-doer
His was a foreign policy with an emphasis on …
- human rights,
- democratic values,
- nuclear non-proliferation,
- and global poverty.
Solar panels on the White House!
(And Reagan took ‘em down.)
Years of volunteering for Habitat for Humanity!!!
The very best of the values of the Democratic Party!
I WOULD call Jimmy
a definite “Positively Ethical Applied Community Ecologist”
… in the eyes of the Martins.
