Meet Kim Jong Il’s Answer to Baghdad Bob

North Korea’s Kim Jong Il has starved his own people in various ways for a long time (while obviously eating very well himself). So, in order to do something about it, Jimmy Carter went to North Korea and later had some stern words… for the US and South Korea. Carter accused both the US and one of its allies of human rights violations. Yeah, that sounds about right:

(RTTNews) – Ex-US President Jimmy Carter has flayed the US and South Korea for withholding food aid to North Korea which he said amounted to violation of human rights, reports said on Thursday.

Briefing reporters in South Korean capital, Seoul, after wrapping up his three-day visit to Communist North, Carter said Pyongyang badly needed food imports.

“One of the most important human rights is to have food to eat, and for South Korea and the US and others to deliberately withhold food aid to the North Korean people is really a human rights violation,” he said.

Leave it to Jimmy Carter to go to a place called “Communist North” and conclude the misery there is somebody else’s fault. Saddam Hussein had Baghdad Bob, so it’s only fair that Kim Jong Il has Pyongyang Jimmy. What’s even sadder is that Kim Jong Il refused to meet with Carter’s group, but that didn’t prevent Jimmy from shilling for the communist regime.

This is just embarrassing… even for Carter. Somewhere Billy is saying “and they called me the embarrassing one?”

I’m not trying to be contentious, and I rarely get a coherent answer, but can you explain how a Christian leftist reconciles their Christian beliefs with the lefts rabid support of abortion?
I could see how one might be able to do that with the usual abortions, but even partial birth abortion is rabidly protected by the left.
I mean, how long has the left protected Kermit Gosnell?
What does a leftist say to God on Sunday after supporting someone like Gosnell all week? or looking the other while your political candidates support him?

I don’t think you sound contentious. I have my own opinions on every issue. They mostly line up with the left, but not always.

The Bible and the history of the church are both really confusing on the issue of abortion. By Jewish law in Christ’s time, a baby wasn’t a baby until s/he was halfway out the birth canal. Talk about harsh. In the early church, they recommended 90 days of penace for an abortion and seven years to a lifetime of penace for masturbation, which just seems plain crazy.

I oppose all late-term abortions. The morning-after pill seems fine to me. I don’t know where you draw a bright line, so I think it’s practical to focus on the root causes of abortion.

I’m not sure that making abortion illegal will significantly reduce the abortion rate, since there are a few Latin American countries where abortion is punishable by jail time, yet they still have higher rates of abortion than the U.S.

I’m not trying to convert anyone to my own views…I know I won’t! Just trying to explain them the best I can.

StaceyofLiberty: Don’t agree with your comment at #102 in which IMO you try to justify the taking of an innocent human life. It really gripes me when I hear liberal women scream choice, when they are using abortion as a means of birth control. So, an innocent child gets sacrificed on the altar of choice? Perhaps you can look in the Bible and find the many instances where Jesus clearly indicated, “..suffer the little children to come to me.” I think the majority of women who get an abortion are doing it for their own convenience.
Disgusting and it should never be paid for by taxpayers who are opposed to abortions.

I know you guys hate Jimmy Carter, but I am really impressed with all the work he and his wife have done with Habitat for Humanity. He seems to have sincere Christian beliefs, and I admire that, too.

In an effort, apparently, to appear as a sensible person to the left, Jimmy denigrates other Christians who do not think as he does or who do not espouse the views he does. When it comes time to take communion, does he distance himself from those same Christians?
