One Guy's Opinion on the Political Scene By: Jim Herndon
What is Treason?
It’s a crazy world, isn’t it? One of America’s ex-presidents, albeit the worst, Jimmy Carter, has set off on his own, ignoring not only his own party’s leaders but President Bush and our State Department’s request, to Syria to meet with one of the world’s most bloody minded terrorists, the leader of Hamas.
This group, along with al Qaeda, and Hezbollah are considered the world’s worst terrorists. The Hamas leader is an avowed enemy of the U.S., has declared war on all non-Muslims, and vowed to wipe Israel from the map. If one assumes that we are at war with terrorists, and given that Hamas is seen by all as a terrorist group, doesn’t Jimma’s hugging and schmoozing (watching the video, I thought he was going to give the guy a big wet kiss) give comfort to our enemy and come under the definition of treason? How can this be? Only in America, I guess. No ex-pres has done more to undermine the current president and his country than Jimmy Carter. In an earlier statement, he blamed America for fomenting trouble in Gaza by siding with the Fatah against Hamas.
I voted for this man. I'm so ashamed.
