Carter slams U.S. Supreme Court for its endorsement of corruption

In a recent National Public Radio interview Judge Posner also expressed a degree of contempt for what he described as the “real deterioration in conservative thinking” in recent years. He added: “I’ve become less conservative since the Republican Party started becoming goofy.” (From my side of the water it seems that if Romney’s funders fail in their efforts to buy the White House for him, the Republican Party will have no future unless its moderate, old-fashioned conservatives break away from the “goofy” extremists who have taken over the party machine).

It might well be that a second-term Obama will seek to mobilize support for a constitutional amendment to enable the Supreme Court’s ruling to be reversed, but his chances of success on that front would be poor to say the least because a constitutional amendment requires ratification by three-quarters of the country’s 50 states.

As I write I am reminded (as I noted in my book Zionism: The Real Enemy of the Jews) that President Kennedy tried and failed several times to introduce legislation to end the corruption of election campaign funding; and I can almost hear some of my readers saying, “Yes, and look what happened to him!”

    The United States is not a “democracy”. Its Constitution calls it “republic”.

    More and more Americans are waking-up to the reality that country’s political establishment (Republicans, Democratic, Tea Party or Green Party) lacks true leaders who are dignified, moral, uncorruptable and dedicated to the national interests of the United States and its citizens of all color, ethnic and religious backgrounds.

    The American electrode system gives Americans the choice between evil and slightly less evil. And anyone decides not to choose among the two evils by boycotting the election – he still plays the part of collaborator with the evil system.

    With a exception of a few US lawmakers, such as, Paul Findley, Cynthia McKinney, Dennis Kucinich and Ron Paul – all US lawmakers are affraid to stand-up to the powerful pro-Israel lobby groups. The secret code in US politics is: “If you want to get ahead; you don’t criticized Israel, you defend Israel“.

    Begin by requiring the FCC stop the news monopoly by the jews.

  3. Paul:

    What comment can be said in the face of such blind & absolutely wrong statements. Here’s a unique idea, READ the first amendment.Then you can comment. Lastly does he really believe that people think Pres. Kennedy was assassinated for campaign fund reform?

  4. Carolyn H. Boyd:

    I believe Carter was one of the SMARTEST, most ETHICAL and HONEST, and COMPASSIONATE presidents of my lifetime. Unfortunately, it was those qualities that probably prevented him from serving more than one term!
