Myrick, Knollenberg Want Action Taken Against Carter
My awesome Member of Congress, US Rep. Sue Myrick (R-NC), is standing up to ex-President Jimmy Carter’s treason and urging the Bush Adminstration to do the same.
Rep. Sue Myrick (NC-9) called on Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice to revoke former President Jimmy Carter’s passport. This is in response to the former President traveling to Syria to meet with Hamas, an organization officially designated by the United States as a Foreign Terrorist Organization.
“Former President Carter has acted in contradiction of international agreements to isolate Hamas. He has acted in defiance of both United States policy and international policy. His actions reward terrorists, lend support, and provide legitimacy to their belief that violence will eventually get them what they want,†said Rep. Myrick.Â
After Hamas won the 2006 Palestinian parliamentary elections the Quartet (US, UN, EU and Russia) called on Hamas to renounce terror, recognize Israel and recognize the previous agreements between the Palestinian Authority and Israel as they seek an agreement to make peace. Hamas has categorically rejected these three conditions for more than two years.
Congress granted the Secretary of State the power to grant and verify passports. In 1981, the United States Supreme Court held in the case of Haig v. Agee that the Secretary of State has the implied power to revoke passports as well (453 U.S. 280). Â
Myrick will be on FOX News Channel today between 2pm and 2:30pm to discuss the Carter passport plan in further detail with E. D. Hill.
US Rep. Joe Knollenberg (R-MI) is going even further by proposing HR 5816 — the CARTER Act — which would cease all taxpayer funding of the ex-President’s “Carter Center”.   The Carter Center already receives lots of money from sources throughout the Middle East.
In addition to my call for the US Senate to Censure Jimmy Carter, perhaps his return flight to the USA could include a military winged escort and diversion to a certain holding facility in Cuba?
GP Ed. Note: As of today, I’m now categorizing any posts about Jimmy Carter in the “American Terrorist” category. We have also added the category “American Embarrassments” so we can capture Carter-related items there too.

This isn’t the Soviet Union or the PRC, and to confiscate a US citizen’s passport would be an attempt to imprison them within the United States of America. Carter is a heinous, evil figure, but Myrick’s suggestion is an abomination.

Can you add a “Roy Cohn Self-Hating Homo” tag, and add it to all of your posts?
[Can you please tell me what that means? And provide evidence to show that any blogger here is self-hating? Or are you just content to repeat the empty epithet you hear all too frequently in the gay slogan? --Dan]

I totally agree with Congresswoman Myrick. Carter has to be taught a lesson and others who might follow him would learn as well.
As for the funding being cut to the Carter Center, rock on.

Why not crucifixion? Isnt that the traditional treatment that you empire-lovers reserve for those who try to be peacemakers?
Comment by JKris — April 17, 2008 @ 10:53 pm - April 17, 2008
JKris, how does one try to be a peacemaker when one treats those who violate the peace (Hamas) better than one treats those who work to preserve it (Israel)?

I’m confused, is this website a joke? What will all of you do when your conservative, “patriotic”, god-fearing political allies decide to send you to the concentration camps along with the liberals, secularists, and free-thinkers? Are you truly so ignorant as to think that the majority of the right-wing in this country has any use for homosexuals?
Comment by Brad — April 18, 2008 @ 6:34 am - April 18, 2008
Wow. If you made a bit more sense it might be dangerous. That said, when we’re done with Jimmy lets lock up all the gays. We can see who’s next after that.

Carter would not be the only one headed to Gitmo. Legitimizing the House of Saud or Islam Kamirov isn’t exactly a warm and fuzzy embrace of democracy either.
Equality of principles don’t seem to apply idiots like yourself or Myrick.

So true. The only people who have a use for homosexuals are the Democrats.. as part of thier collection of victim groups and guaranteed voting blocs.
Republicans are for individuals. Democrats are for scorned bleeding hearts who belong to a group, like the herd.
Baaaa

What is the Constitutional basis for this law? Which part enpowers Congress to legistlate in this area.
Voted YES on Constitutionally defining marriage as one-man-one-woman. (Jul 2006)
Voted YES on Constitutional Amendment banning same-sex marriage. (Sep 2004)
What is wrong with that? The American people have voted overwhelming to reject gay marriage.
Since gay people do not respect the will of people they have been trying to get the courts to impose gay marriage despite the soverign public.
These amendments are the backlash for trying to going around the Legistlatures. It’s gay people’s own fault.
Comment by Vince P — April 18, 2008 @ 11:59 am - April 18, 2008
If you believe that Carter violated any laws, then he is open to prosecution and a fair trial before his peers. Of course, he would need to be convicted by fair-minded citizens. I assume Myrick belives that is is unlikely which is why these extral-legal executive branch sanctions are invoked.
This is a country of laws, not spleen.
Comment by Dick Elkin — April 18, 2008 @ 12:19 pm - April 18, 2008
The law says the SecState has the authority to revoke a passport.
He should then be arrested under the Logan(?) Act
Comment by Vince P — April 18, 2008 @ 1:32 pm - April 18, 2008
And?
Why would someone want an approval rating from a cocktail party group. HRC doesn’t give a DAMN about real human rights violations. They only care about smearing as many Republicans as possible.
How much have they covered the Iranian gays that are executed? How about the Egyptian gays sentenced to prison?
HRC gets a 2% approval rating from me. Human Rights Campaign is in name only.

Wow…. Moonbat City here.
How did a posting about the repeated treasonous acts of our ex-President Carter turn immediately into a ranting and raving by the “Gay Concentration Camps in America Crowd” ???
MOONBAT THREAT ADVISORY ALERT AT RED!
Comment by Bruce (GayPatriot) — April 18, 2008 @ 2:55 pm - April 18, 2008
Maybe all the gay liberals screaming about peoples’ HRC ratings can explain something to me; namely, why, if HRC supposedly is against constitutional amendments banning gay marriage, do they endorse and give money to Democrat politicians who support said amendments?
The answer is pretty simple; the “H” in their title stands for “Hypocrites”.
Comment by North Dallas Thirty — April 18, 2008 @ 4:23 pm - April 18, 2008
Don’t know what country you live in, but our First Amendment doesn’t say anything about travelling to hobnob with terrorists and their sponsors.
If we go to Blackwatch Plaid or Rush’s Moving Pictures, we’re in trouble.

Was Haig v. Agee wrongly decided?
Comment by ILoveCapitalism — April 18, 2008 @ 8:53 pm - April 18, 2008
I am not enthusiastic about lifting Carter’s passport. But I do not believe that he should have secret service protection or diplomatic immunity if he is traveling against the advice of the government.
In fact, if “they” were to make Carter a hostage, I would favor offering “them” a 24 hour period to walk him to the border where he could try to catch a ride with a good Samaritan. If “they” hold him, “they” keep him. It wouldn’t take long before “they” threw his looney carcass out.
Comment by heliotrope — April 19, 2008 @ 8:54 am - April 19, 2008
Speaking as the straight brother of a gay moonbat it has always amazed me how the gay left has blown off Islam as a threat and concentrated their ire on Christian conservatives. While there are homophobes on the right, they do not advocate throwing homosexuals off of cliffs.
Fundamentalist Christians may decry homosexuality but they leave the final judgement of each individual to God.
In this respect they are far more “liberal” than Islam.

What threat is Carter? Seriously. He has no authority to speak on behalf of the United States. Period. His comments or final ‘agreements’ have no legal standing. He is acting as a private citizen (no matter how delusional you may find him) and not a threat to the US. Invalidating his passport will do nothing but point out that the US appears afraid of dissent. The strength of our country depends on the diversity of opinions - no matter how idiotic they may be.
Comment by yoshi — April 20, 2008 @ 1:13 am - April 20, 2008
yoshi: Carter confirms our enemy’s view of US society. That is what is so dangerous.
Your analysis did not take into account our enemy’s perceptions and way of thinking. Explain to me how HAMAS is impressed by “diversity”
Comment by Vince P — April 20, 2008 @ 7:52 am - April 20, 2008
This entire anti-Carter thread is insane. The US has sent out envoys to talk to our enemies, and other crazy people, evil people, and monsters throughout its history. We talked to the Soviet Union (they were really evil) for over fifty years, which allowed the US to win the second world war, and the resulting cold war. Talking kept the earth alive from nuclear holocaust until there was regime change and no more Soviet Union. You have to talk to people. Period. Otherwise you end up in wars that kills thousands or millions of people. Any attempt at talking is good. The Bushies forgot this, and we are bogged down in a war with over four thousand brave Americans dead. Who is the bad guy here?
