Jimmy Carter is back in the news. It seems he’s a bit desperate to be in the news these days. He’s gone on record saying it’s racism that is motivating the opposition to President Obama’s policies. The Town Hall meetings of this summer, anger erupted over the rising mountains of debt that will crush us and our children’s generation. But to Jimmy Carter such expressions of concern seem little different than mob actions. “There is an inherent feeling among many in this country that an African American should not be President,” Carter said in Atlanta.

It’s certainly not the first time Jimmy Carter has played the discreditable race card. In 1980, he accused Ronald Reagan over and over of being a racist. When Jimmy Carter’s dad was undeniably a segregationist in the Old South, Ronald Reagan was inviting his black friends from his Eureka College football team to spend the night in his home rather than face unjust discrimination at Illinois hotels. Ronald Reagan pledged — and kept that pledge — to enforce our nation’s historic Civil Rights laws. No matter. Jimmy Carter’s glass house may have been windowless, but that did not stop his stone-throwing.

President Obama’s White House does not endorse Carter’s unsubstantiated charges. Administration spokesman Robert Gibbs said: “[The President] does not believe that criticism comes based on the color of his skin.” Gibbs attributed it instead to honest policy differences. Well, good for Gibbsy!

That should settle it. But it won’t. The New York Times‘ Maureen Dowd launched an over-the-top charge, saying that when Congressman Joe Wilson yelled out: “You lie!” he really meant to say: “You lie, boy!” She was able to do this without even reading the obstreperous lawmaker’s palm.

There is ancient historic precedent in America for Dowd’s charge. Back in Salem in 1693, nineteen Americans were hanged on the basis of “spectral evidence.” That is, there were no words, deeds, or documents that confirmed that they were witches, but they did have eerie “specters” about them. Maybe Arlen whispered in Dowd’s ear!

Let me say, it is out of bounds and completely unacceptable for Members of Congress to yell out during a Presidential Address to a Joint Session. Joe Wilson knows that and has dutifully apologized. It is also deeply offensive and uncivil to depict President Obama as Hitler. I reject both kinds of demonstrations. It would be nice to see our liberal friends issue an apology — even a belated one would do — for the similarly vicious characterizations of George W. Bush as Hitler. We all remember the infamous videos that depicted President Bush and the Republicans as Nazis.

Jimmy Carter’s flailing led 40,898,770 Americans to boot him out of office in 1980. Were they all racists, too? Since that time, he has won a Nobel Peace Prize by consorting with known terrorists and tin pot dictators.

Americans have largely forgiven him for the dangerous weakness of his four-year term. Americans are a generous people, praising Carter for his cabinet-making for Habitat for Humanity. He does deserve praise for this charitable work. But we should be grateful he’s making cabinets for poor people and not for our nation. When he ripped out his presidential Cabinet, firing almost all of them, while leaving his errant White House staff in place, a leading Democrat cried: “He cut down all the tall trees, but left the monkeys!”

There’s another irony to Jimmy Carter crying racist wolf. It was under his weak leadership that hundreds of thousands of Africans fell under communist domination. It is arguable that more black people lost their liberty under Jimmy Carter than under any President in U.S. history.

So let us hope Carter will take a cue from President Obama’s White House and pipe down. He has had a mercifully long retirement. There’s no provision for impeaching ex-Presidents. But we would all hope that age would finally bring some wisdom to this one. It’s time for him to cease making the kind of baseless charges that led Ronald Reagan to dismiss him with a winsome smile and a famous turn of the head: “There you go again.”

Statement of Project 21 Fellow Deneen Borelli on Allegations of Racism Against Critics of Obama Policies

For Release: September 16, 2009 ?Contact: David Almasi or Devon Carlin at (202) 543-4110 or project21@nationalcenter.org ?

Washington, DC - This statement was issued today by Deneen Borelli <http://www.nationalcenter.org/bios/P21Speakers_Borelli.html> of the national black leadership network Project 21:

“There they go again.  Now Jimmy Carter has joined House Ways and Means Committee Chairman Charlie Rangel, Texas Representative Eddie Bernice Johnson, New York Governor David Paterson, MSNBC’s Chris Matthews, the New York Times’ Maureen Dowd and others on the left in claiming racism is behind criticism of President Obama’s big-spending policies.

The public is outraged about the president’s policies — the spending, the budget, the deficit — not his skin color.
President Obama was not elected only with black votes.  Are those who cry ‘racism’ saying the American people suddenly woke up and said, ‘oh, he’s black so I don’t like him anymore’? That makes no sense.  The criticism of Obama’s policies is about the policies — the stimulus, the growth of government, cap-and-trade, the health care bills, the overspending.

It’s easier for the left to play the race card than address the public’s legitimate concerns, but what the left and the media are doing is damaging and dangerous.

It’s damaging because when everything is racist, then nothing is.  Those who cry racism without evidence will cause people to tune out in cases in which there is evidence.

It’s dangerous also to send a message that racism is behind everything.  What does that tell young black men and women?  It tells them they will never get a fair shake and that white people who have never met them dislike them.  With a message like that, its no surprise we’re seeing apparently racial incidents like the widely-circulated video of a young white student being beaten up on a school bus by black students while other black students cheer.  What message have those black students internalized from liberal leaders like Rangel, Johnson, Paterson, Matthews and Dowd and now former President Carter?  That white people are their enemy.

If this continues — if not already — the left will literally have blood on its hands, and all because it was too dishonest and too cowardly to have a fair debate with the American people on policy.”

Project 21, established in 1992, is sponsored by the National Center for Public Policy Research (http://www.nationalcenter.org <http://www.nationalcenter.org/> ).

By Harry R. Jackson, Jr.

Last week, many 9/11 celebrations took place commemorating the heroism and loss of life experienced on that day 8 years ago. The lesson I have treasured the most comes from the story of United Flight 93. Todd Morgan Beamer’s last recorded statement, “Let’s roll” is the kind that epitomizes the American spirit.  His statement celebrates individual courage, personal responsibility, and our national “can-do” attitude. Millions of Americans thanked God this past week for the freedom to vote and live in a nation, which promises to give us a government of the people, for the people, and by the people.

In a strange twist of fate, two of DC’s leading newspapers carried a declaration on 9/11 that the DC city council planned to steal the hard-fought freedom to vote from the people they represent. In fact, DC city council members arrogantly declared their ability to speak for the citizens of the nation’s first city without even consulting them on one of the nation’s most defining social issues - marriage. Last month a grassroots citizens’ movement emerged which is asking for a popular vote on marriage and has received the support of Advisory Neighborhood Commissioners (ANC), who represent over 100,000 people. By the time the remaining two-thirds of these commissioners are approached, grassroots activists expect to have over half of these commissioners ask for a vote by all the people.

In spite of a groundswell of local support for the protection of marriage in just a six-week period, the city council decided to accelerate its request to have gay marriages legally performed within the DC. This move would obviously affect the state of marriage in the region and the nation. Vincent Gray, chairman of the city council, sees himself as a protector of the 16,000 to 33,000 gay, lesbian, bi-sexual, and transgender people in DC. While these numbers are very high compared to most cities, it only amounts to between 3 and 6 percent of DC’s 570,000-person population. The chairman is quoted in last Friday’s Washington Times as saying, “We are the elected representatives of the people … I think we are perfectly capable of making an informed decision on this issue. We make important decisions every day on how this city is run. And that is what the people elect us to do…”

This is an amazing statement from a group that has fought over who should have access to baseball tickets at the Nationals’ games. This same group also has had trouble balancing budgets, setting priorities, and is currently accusing each other of fraud and ethical violations of the law. With all the truly important issues that they could address, including the highest HIV/Aids infection rate in the nation, these highly “competent” legislators want to vote in an overwhelming majority for something that private polls say the people do not widely endorse.

Gay marriage supporters purport that the debate over marriage is creating a “civil war” in the city. They believe the issue is contentious and divisive. The gay community’s own spokespersons declare that they want to have several days of debates and hearings concerning this issue because they feel that their voices need to be heard.

The truth is that the gay community has “manipulated” the political process through extravagant campaign contributions and strategically infiltrating the city’s Democratic Party’s hierarchy over the last five years. DC council members have ironically participated in the suppression of the citizens’ right to vote in order to advance a privileged minority’s pet issue.  This has been done in the name of “civil rights.”

If anybody knows what civil rights are, it would have been my father, who was threatened at gunpoint by a state trooper for his participation in voting registration efforts in the South. The officer who threatened him actually discharged his weapon in an attempt to make it clear that if my father spoke up again, he would be killed. My father could speak about civil rights because as a teenager he saw lifeless bodies hanging from lynching trees as part of the “strange fruit of the South” while taking shortcuts to deliver papers on several mornings. My father understood about civil rights as he heard the stories of an African-American man in his town who was brutally beaten, mutilated, set on fire, and dragged through the through the town square of the city.

But my father is not the only one who understood civil rights. The unwed black mother, living on public assistance, understands true discrimination. She understands that there are privileged people in our culture and institutional barriers that prohibit whole segments of our society from experiencing the American dream. In DC, gay activists enjoy better education, better jobs, better housing, greater access to the system, and now – legislative power. Something is wrong when the privileged feign that they are the persecuted, when the powerful posture themselves as victims.  In this strategic period of American history, when many major issues are being decided, the least the city council could do, would be to slow down and allow liberty to have her voice.

In the spirit of last week’s 9/11 celebrations, I have one suggestion to the DC city council, the ANC commissioners, Congress, and our national media: Let the people vote.  American freedom is all about the voice of the people.  We must trust our freedom, we must our process, and we must trust our people with this treasure called “liberty.”  Let the people vote.  Let their voice be heard.

Former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin was ordered out of the room by leading conservative columnist Charles Krauthammer, who is a medical doctor — a rarity in the world of pundits.

Krauthammer said Palin’s comments about “death panels” in Obamacare were not helpful in a serious debate on the government takeover of health care.

But then Dr. Krauthammer wrote that the result would only be a “gentle nudge” toward that hooded figure in the corner of the room, that grim fellow with the scythe.

Hmmm. Maybe we should invite Palin to come back in.

Krauthammer wrote before we saw the Department of Veterans Affairs dredge up a how-to book on end-of-life decision making for wounded vets. The book, “Your Life-Your Choices,” had been deep-sixed by the Bush administration. It was reissued by the Obama administration. The book includes various “exercises” for vets that suggest more than a gentle nudge toward death. How about a sharp kick?

What will our veterans, wounded and quite possibly depressed, think when they are given a book that tells them about the possibilities of ending it all? And what kind of help is it to gently nudge them toward the Hemlock Society — that practiced ender of all pain?

We need to focus more on what President Obama himself has said about ending lives. Now is when we really miss Tim Russert, who passed away suddenly in June 2008. In February of that year, Russert put an easy question to then-Sen. Obama during the Democrats’ Cleveland debate. I remember it well.

RUSSERT: “Senator Obama, any statements or vote you’d like to take back?”

OBAMA: “Well, you know, when I first arrived in the Senate that first year, we had a situation surrounding Terri Schiavo. And I remember how we adjourned with a unanimous agreement that eventually allowed Congress to interject itself into that decision-making process of the families.

“It wasn’t something I was comfortable with, but it was not something that I stood on the floor and stopped. And I think that was a mistake, and I think the American people understood that that was a mistake. And as a constitutional law professor, I knew better.

“And so that’s an example I think of where inaction …”

RUSSERT: “This is the young woman with the feeding tube …”

OBAMA: “That’s exactly right.”

RUSSERT: “… and the family disagreed as to whether it should be removed or not.”

OBAMA: “And I think that’s an example of inaction, and sometimes that can be as costly as action.”

Most of what Obama read about Terri Schiavo is not true. She was not dying. She was not comatose. She was not in a persistent vegetative state. She was severely brain-damaged.

She did require food and nutrition via intravenous tube. Her husband had, as they say, moved on. He argued with Terri’s loving family. Mr. Schiavo wanted those tubes removed. Without food and water, Terri would die. So would we all.

Mr. Schiavo said Terri had told him she would “not want to live like that.” Who would?

But the real question is: If you have to receive nutrition and hydration by tube, would you want someone to pull the tube?

As president, Obama has been knocking down the idea that he wants “to pull the plug” on your grandmother. Still, in the above quoted exchange with Russert, Obama said he regretted that he had not been more willing than 99 U.S. senators to hasten Terri Schiavo’s death.

She should have been denied access to the federal courts, Obama said. She wasn’t dying until they pulled her feeding tube. When she was dying, armed guards stationed at her bedside prevented family members from giving her cracked ice for her cracked and bleeding lips.

If “controlling costs” is the reason for the whole drive to nationalize health care, pulling feeding tubes from medically fragile people is an obvious “no-brainer.” Under Obamacare, he or one of his minions will decide how much health care you get. When they decide you’ve had enough, you will be denied access to the courts. Obama’s will be the hand that feeds you.

Last week when I first read Byron York’s article titled “Health care reform means more power for the IRS”, I felt like I was reading the script of a horror movie. I was in such disbelief that I spent hours looking for the specific section in H.R. 3200 that expanded the powers of the Internal Revenue Service.

Unfortunately, I found it. It’s Division A, Title IV on pages 167-215 called Amendments to IRS Code of 1986. The expanded powers of the IRS in H.R. 3200 would empower the IRS to require taxpayers to show proof of health insurance coverage, collect fines on individuals and employers who did not have adequate proof of health insurance, and determine if your health insurance was a government approved plan.

The more I read the sicker I got, because I have been through an IRS audit, and it was the most helpless felling I have ever had in my life.

It was a more helpless feeling than when I had to ride in the back of the bus growing up in Atlanta in the 1950’s and early 1960’s, because at least I could choose to walk or catch a ride with a friend when I got sick of the painted notice in the front of the bus that read “Whites seat from front, Colored seat from rear”.

I have never shared my IRS audit experience publicly before, because I have devoted a lot of my time and energy trying to replace the tax code with the Fair Tax (H.R. 25). But my experiences of 13 years ago, which lasted for three years, might help some people realize another terrible aspect of a really bad bill in Congress that the Democrats are trying to shove down our throats.

Ultimately, the IRS conceded that I had not committed any crimes after I agreed to pay some silly penalties and interest on some checks I deposited, which did not match a specific bank deposit slip. In those instances I had gotten some cash back with the deposit, but the IRS called the check amount “unreported income”, so I ended up paying taxes on that money twice.

But the final outcome did not make up for those requests for more information that usually came in the mail on Fridays or the day before a holiday with only a few days to respond. Nor did it make up for the hundreds of thousands of after-tax dollars I had to spend to prove I had done nothing wrong.

People who have been through what I went through have experienced the same nightmare or worse. And now the President and the Democrats want to expand the powers of the IRS, which would also expand the opportunities for the IRS to abuse that added power, and conduct politically motivated tax audits.

Although my lawyers, professional accountants and I can’t prove it, we were all convinced that the audit of my finances for the tax year 1994 was no coincidence. That was the same year I challenged President Bill Clinton during a nationally televised town hall meeting on health care reform. When the IRS auditors could not find anything for 1994, they expanded the audit to include the tax years 1993 and 1995 to make sure there were no “carry-over issues” as they called it.

The expanded powers in the bill  sound simple enough, but so did the original Internal Revenue Code, which has grown from 14 pages in 1913 to over 9000 pages today, depending on who’s counting. It was also not anticipated that the IRS Code would be abused and used against citizens who exercised their rights to disagree with government.

When we consider the expanded powers of the IRS and the 53 new bureaucracies defined in H.R. 3200, it’s not just the script of a horror movie. It would be a nightmare for all of us.

I know. I have been there.

Americans of all political persuasions agree that the nation has problems. Big problems.

And here’s where we all part company. The political left, who now control our government, thinks we need more government — a lot more. Those on the right see our problems as the result of excess government and want to move things in the opposite direction.

The fact that Democrats, with their man in the White House, and control of both houses of Congress, are having difficulty getting their big government programs passed says something about the strength of the grass roots push back now taking place.

Stirring is even occurring among blacks.

According to the Pew Research Center, the president’s approval rating nationwide is now 10 points lower than last April. Included in this is a three-point drop in his approval among blacks.

You might say, Star, a drop in approval ratings among blacks from 95 percent to 92 percent is trivial. But I say not so.

If we assume this reflects the 16 million blacks who voted for Obama last November, a three point shift means there are about a half million blacks who now have buyer’s remorse.

This is meaningful. You take real risks going against the establishment in black America. Psychological risks, professional risks, and sometimes risks to personal safety. Peeling off a black who voted for Obama means moving heaven and earth.

Even a star like Bill Cosby incurred the wrath of the black establishment when he started talking about black families and personal responsibility. As result, he backed off and toned down his message.

Recall during the campaign, candidate Obama ruffled Jesse Jackson’s feathers when he spoke about personal responsibility among black males. An inadvertently “on” microphone picked up Jackson saying that he wanted to castrate Obama (not exactly in that language).

The black conservative is not that rare freak of nature that so many think.

According to a Pew Research Center report, almost a third of blacks consider themselves conservative.

However, these folks have always been inclined to be quiet because of the social pressures and intimidation.

But this is changing.

Despite slurs, intimidation, and widely reported physical attacks from union thugs, a few brave black souls have showed up at tea party protest rallies.

I’m getting more and more calls from black conservatives around the country running for local office. I see black conservative Web sites popping up and there’s even black rappers rapping a conservative message.

Who, after all, could know more about the lie about government and the pretense of political answers to life’s problems than blacks?

It’s black families that have been devastated by welfare state programs and black kids now trapped in hopeless public schools. And it’s overwhelmingly black unborn children who never see the light of day.

How can blacks who have their eyes open not have noticed that it was Obama who killed the D.C. school voucher program and sent black children back to one of the worst public school systems in the country.

The Cato Institute reports that, after adjusting for inflation, funds spent on public schools have doubled since 1970, with no improvement in education performance and a decrease in graduation rates. This is government at work.

The Israelites wandered for 40 years after they left Egypt, giving time for the slave generation to disappear and for a new generation to bear the responsibilities of freedom.

Next year marks 40 years since the decade of the ’60s, which gave us the civil rights movement.

I see a new generation of freedom loving, church going black Americans coming on the scene. Many voted for Obama out of racial pride. But their values and aspirations for freedom are causing a change of heart.

NINE ELEVEN
BY BARBARA HOWARD
09/15/01

Where were you on the morning of Tuesday, 9/11
As the twin towers that reached high towards the heavens
Were viciously struck by two suicide planes
Killing hundreds of people as they burst into flames

Thousands more lost as the towers crumbled to the ground
A pile of rubble left on a foundation once structurally sound
New York City became a terrible and heartbreaking disaster zone
And the famous World Trade Towers became a cold, grim tomb

As we watched in utter horror the reality of what once was only in Hollywood
Fire, flames, smoke and rubble were left where two mighty structures once stood
Two more planes were on their way to bring our peaceful world tumbling down
One targeting the White House and the president and one headed for the Pentagon

More fire, more flames, more smoke, more hurt souls, more lost lives
Many would go on home to God and Glory, only a few would survive
Did you, like I, watch in disbelief as my eyes filled up with tears
Did you, like I, have your soul fill up with hurt, sadness, sorrow, and then fear

Who could do this dastardly deed and had they finished or was this the end
And why did they do this to my government, my society, my family, my friends
Where are these cowards, where do they live, where will they go
And how could this terrible evil act happen, didn’t somebody know

Father, forgive them for they know not what they do
The only way they could do this is that they did not know You
And Father, forgive me for I want an eye for an eye
Because all these innocent people did not have to die

I walk around feeling helpless, but only just for a little while
I know that soon I will be able to get back my winning smile
These evil terrorists can take my body, my buildings, and my bounty
But they cannot destroy the love I have for my God and my country

They can’t take away my belief in my God, because they didn’t give it
And I’ll live my life in real peace just as long as my Lord will let me live it
I can’t understand why on nine eleven someone had to show us their awful might
But as I try to make some sense of this, I know that soon everything will be all right

Just as the Phoenix bird rose from its ashes, we will rise from this awful day
We will come together and rebuild our lives and get back on our way
To living out our dreams in the home of the brave and the land of the free
Whether Black or white or yellow or red, we’ll continue to be all that we can be

Even though some say on nine eleven America had a serious wake up call
I say, it was the day we Americans knew it was all for one and one for all
We must not forget this as we deal with how this tragedy affected our individual lives
That it was every race, every religion, every ethnic group, from 62 countries, who died

May God have mercy on their souls and ours, each and every one
And bless the thousands of mothers, fathers, daughters, and sons
Who heroically gave their lives on the fateful day of 9/11/2001
Father, we pray that you pick them up, dust them off, bless them, and take them on home

Peter Robinson, the Ronald Reagan speechwriter who gave us “Mr. Gorbachev: Tear Down this Wall,” tells a good story about President Reagan at Pointe du Hoc in 1984. Told he was to receive the Croix de Guerre from the French, Reagan said: “That’s for bravery. I only flew a desk. I couldn’t possibly accept.” Fearing a diplomatic embarrassment, Reagan’s aides asked for confirmation. They brought back a correction. The President would receive the Legion d’Honneur–for statesmanship. Grinning, Ronald Reagan straightened the overlarge knot of his tie and said: “Well, I can play that role.” Indeed he could.

Conservatives need to know more about President Reagan’s 1984 Mexico City Doctrine. In the culture wars of Washington, that policy too often gets short shrift. Yes, it did mean the U.S. would not back Planned Parenthood or the UN Population Fund (UNFPA) or any outfit that performs or promotes abortion. It also meant that coercive population programs would not get support from the U.S.

But it meant so much more. Reagan’s Mexico City Doctrine was a true reflection of his worldview. He did not view people as a problem. He did not see population growth as an obstacle to development. He spoke out for free peoples and free markets.

A conservative future in foreign policy should embrace Reagan’s core beliefs in the Mexico City Doctrine. We should stand for free peoples and free markets. India turned away from the socialist policies and population control coercion that disfigured the world’s largest democracy in the 1970s and is today thriving. Reagan would understand.

Conservatives have always had one advantage over liberals. Conservatives are on the side of common sense. Nothing shows this more than the fifty-year failed liberal project of population control. Dr. Nick Eberstadt is a respected demographer at the American Enterprise Institute. Eberstadt’s research demonstrates that Asia will face “an old age tsunami” at mid-century from falling birth rates. China’s brutal one-child policy—which has led to tens of millions of forced abortions—is well known. But Dr. Eberstadt shows that the entire continent—including Japan, Russia, and India, including even the Arab Middle East—is in danger of a “demographic winter.” Tens of millions of old people will be bereft of the means to sustain themselves—and younger people in these stricken nations will be forced to accept impossible levels of taxation just to keep their aging populations alive.

Common sense tells us that population control will provoke the peoples of Asia against the U.S. In this and other lesser developed lands, U.S. financial backing for population controllers is a lightning rod for anti-Americanism. The late Shah’s support for such plans helped spark a revolution against him and against “the great Satan” that supported him.

American taxpayers do not want to pay for population control abroad. Americans know there are gross abuses throughout these projects. In India, in the 70s, tens of thousands of teenage boys were vasectomized at the prodding of the Indira Gandhi government. In Peru, native peoples were pressured into sterilizations. All of this is done in our name, and we bear the onus of these self-defeating projects.

John F. Kennedy appealed powerfully to the peoples living in “the huts and villages of half the globe.” He sent Peace Corps volunteers to help with clean water projects, building roads and schools. This was America at her best. Ronald Reagan defended religious liberty and upheld human dignity with his Mexico City policy of not funding international abortionists.

Trying to limit the populations of non-white peoples throughout the world can only provoke anti-Americanism. Exporting abortion—as we are now doing under President Obama and Secretary of State Hillary Clinton—is not just a “social issue.” It is a national security issue. It will spur enlistments for Al Qaeda and other international terrorists.

By re-adopting the Mexico City doctrine, we will put ourselves on the side of the world’s “poor huddled masses yearning to breathe free.” For the sake of human rights, fiscal responsibility, and a conservative vision of limited government, the time has come for the U.S. to cease funding all population control projects abroad. It’s the common sense approach. Family, faith, and freedom–these are principles that can form a solid basis for American foreign policy in the future.
