But he’s one of them

MAGATS are definitely not Christian

the very first president I voted for and I never regretted my vote. A good, kind man and an example for us all.

It was during the primary season of 1976. Before cell phones, so no selfies though, darn!

The MFO which was my first assignment as an Army Officer.

Those are words that come to mind when I think about Carter. Things that are now of no value whatsoever to American voters.

when Carter was attending. Both were engineers. Dad had graduated from college in 43. He was in the V-12 program, spending about 4 months at Annapolis over the winter of 43-44. He never met Jimmy, but was slightly aware of him. Dad served on a LST, an ensign later LTjg. He was present in Tokyo for the surrender. He passed in 2011.

Go in peace, Mr President.

He was a true public servant who demonstrated absolute humility and goodness and values that reflected the teachings of Christ more than all the so-called Christians of MAGA combined

You were better than what many give you credit for. Rest easy.

That he got a bum rap as President. It's not like he had a good economy to work with when his presidency started. RIP President Carter.

To have received Christmas cards from this great man for years. I .loved him .for his goodness.

Our home tonight is shining with candlelight in honor of your memory and the beautiful things you taught us about caring, compassion, love and community.

those of us who lived through so many events, President Carter weathered them all with us.

Compassion. Integrity, Empathy, and Joy all come to mind. His legacy is one to be admired, particularly now.

Stay the course, my friends. Using Jimmy as a guiding light, we too shall prevail over the storm.

Gentle crossing and may the wind be at your back.

Jimmy Carter was my official first pres though I was 4 when we immigrated. Was walking past tv and saw that big smile, I was entranced. I looked at his eyes and he was so kind, I felt that a 4 yr old, of course didn't know the word for it. Then a bit later I looked at Regan, suffice it to say, it was not the same. Thats all I'll say of that man on this thread.
I have perked my ears each time Carter made the news, lifelong.
I am sorry for such a soul energy to leave us here, but am so glad he got his wish to vote. You made it Jimmy! May his memory always be a blessing. Rest in peace and power Mr, Carter from Georgia.

and he was the first persident I voted for

You voted for me too...😊

May his memory forever be a blessing.

He shook everyone's hand who was there and thanked them. My husband retold the story with pride for 30 years. Not everyone gets to shake the hand of a man as good as Carter.

I helped mostly with food, "gofer" duty and clean up since I am not very handy. He liked my pickled peaches and asked for the recipe with my address. I found something to write it on. A year later I got a note from Mary Prince with a picture of dozens of mason jars full of peaches on the kitchen counter and the President sitting there eating the few that not fit in jars right out of the pot warm.

He was the same generation of my parents. I have a special love for President and Mrs Carter. They were the best people.

He was the first president I ever voted for. It was 1980 and I was18. He lost that election, but I have always been so proud of his post-presidential work. He was a mensch. Rest easy, sir.

Always in the service of others. I’m glad you lived to see the honor and recognition you’d earned for a lifetime of dedication and service - to our country AND our world.

One of the many heroes that the USA has created.

I am so pissed that the Dumptruck being elected allowed him to leave us.

I truly believe if Kamala had been elected he would have hung in there a few more years, just to see what interesting events would happen.

Trump needs to go. What a worthless piece of shit he is.

I was wrong.

He was the best president of my life. FDR was the president when I was born. He was the most decent politician I've ever know about.

A truly great man who never sought greatness or the spotlight.

To me, he was the epitome of Democracy. So kind and generous. Always.

Fellow submariner.

Rest in Peace good sir, you certainly have earned it.

And thank you to the Carter family for helping to keep President Carter's flame burning brightly. The world will be a little darker today. I'm sad for all of us but glad for the restful peace he sought throughout his life. A true man of integrity, kindness and above all faith.

to allow home brewing of beer. From those homebrewers, the great craft breweries arose. If you are drinking a quality beer tonight, as I am, offer a toast to the memory of President Carter.

N T

opinion piece in WaPo about Carter.......one of the most despicable pieces WaPo has ever published......I guess the owner of the WaPo is once again going all out to kiss Trump's Butt........

How Dare George F Will write and publish an article like that, not unlike many other lying pieces of crap rhetoric all of the New RepubliCONs are infamous for........

President Carter was one, if not the, finest person we ever had as a President and as a Human Being........

I am so glad that his passing was during Biden's Presidency, so Trump couldn't mis-treat his funeral and bad mouth him like he did with McCain.........

Good rebuttal to Will's BS

To claim that Reagan was a necessary antidote to Carter is a convenient fiction that relies on a selective memory of history. It glosses over Reagan’s disastrous policies, reckless rhetoric, and the far-reaching negative effects his presidency had on the nation and the globe.

First, let’s dismantle the idea that Reagan was “necessary.” This argument presupposes that Carter’s presidency, though flawed, created a vacuum that could only be filled by Reagan. But to claim necessity is to miss a critical point: the forces that led to Reagan’s rise were not the inevitable result of Carter’s failures; rather, they were the consequence of a deliberate and highly successful campaign by greedy corporate interests, the military-industrial complex, and conservative elites to shift the political discourse far to the right.

The necessity of Reagan was not the result of Carter’s policies but of a decades-long process of ideological capture that co-opted the Republican Party and manipulated the national conversation toward an extreme version of conservatism.

Now, let’s talk about Reagan’s actual record. To label Reagan as wise or even effective is to ignore the lasting damage he inflicted on ...

thank you Nulu

Thank you President Carter for being you.

Ty!

My first vote in 76' was for President Carter.
He was the personification of integrity, empathy and kindness.
He will be missed.

President Carter shows what good a person is capable of if they are truly determined to make a diffference. He and Roslynn made a big difference and I will always love and revere the both of these great human beings!

A great president and an even greater human being.

job well done, sir.

A well lived life of service, compassion and good deeds. My condolences to his family. I was too young to vote for him, but my parents did. I always admired what he and Rosalyn did with Habitat for Humanity.

the first President that I voted for who won.

I was too young to vote for JFK and Lyndon Johnson. I was abroad in 1968 and, having never voted for President before, had no way to vote at that time, but would have voted for Hubert Humphrey. I voted for George McGovern in 1972 and for Jimmy Carter in 1976 in person and by absentee ballot in 1980.

I was abroad when I heard that Ronald Reagan had won in 1980 and realized - even at the time - that his election would make a seismic difference in US politics. I just didn't realize at the time how bad things would ultimately get.

How different America would be now if Jimmy Carter had won in 1980! I can only believe that we would be a better nation.

All my respect and safe passage, Mr. President.

You spoke that vision and advanced it when possible in your day. May you rest with Roslyn and all the saints.

hold the office of the presidency.

For your service and for the decency you brought to public office.

Thank you President Carter.

Thank you Jimmy Carter for fighting to do right.

I ever cast was for Jimmy Carter as president. To me,there is no higher praise than to be remembered as a good man... a man who walked the walk. Jimmy Carter was a good man... a man who walked the walk.

The world is poorer without him in it. Rest in peace and joy with Rosalyn, President Carter. You will be missed here.

energy independent. That gave us hope.
