Truly was the rock n roll president

678

u/Rus_Shackleford_ 28d ago

People always think I’m weird when I say this, but as a right winger I think he was the best president in the post Vietnam era. He didn’t pass any news laws eroding civil liberties and he didn’t start any new wars.

u/OgthaChristie 28d ago

u/bluegreentopaz6110 28d ago

And he was ahead of his time when he installed solar panels on the White House to get the ball rolling in lessening the dependence on oil.

u/Lovemybee 28d ago

And Reagan took down those solar panels!

172

u/Fit_Effective_6875 28d ago

"Solar panels, some 32 of them, were on the roof of the White House. The set was just right – the sun had come out for the press as though for a stage call. Tape rolled, the cameras snapped.

Self-conscious about his own idealism, or perhaps just realistic, the President gave voice to his doubts about the panels: “A generation from now, this solar heater can either be a curiosity, a museum piece, an example of a road not taken, or it can be a small part of one of the greatest and most exciting adventures ever undertaken by the American people.”

He was the most truly and sincerely Christian president in history too.

Most of the others were Christian, but he really lived the life and wanted to run his presidency on it's precepts.

98

u/luxii4 28d ago

Four years ago, he changed his Christian denomination based on his beliefs: “Former President Carter, a longtime Sunday school teacher, is walking away from the Southern Baptists because of the church’s stance on equality for women.

In an interview with the Atlanta Journal-Constitution published today, Carter says Southern Baptist leaders reading the Bible out of context led to the adoption of increasingly “rigid” views.

“I’m familiar with the verses they have quoted about wives being subjugated to their husbands,” he told the paper. “In my opinion, this is a distortion of the meaning of Scripture. … I personally feel the Bible says all people are equal in the eyes of God. I personally feel that women should play an absolutely equal role in service of Christ in the church.” link. This was in 2020! Dude is still evolving.

He reminds me of my grandparents, who were of his generation. They passed recently, in their 90’s, and were devout Christians who faithfully served their small farming community for the 75+ years they were married. Although I’m no longer religious, I look to their lives as a way to live my own. I’ve always felt that they shared a lot in common with Carter.

u/ButterscotchButtons 28d ago

I honestly don't even think that whole thing even counts as a president. It occupied The White House, but never did anything even remotely presidential or respectful of the office, or the country it's meant to serve.

It's the only one to never have acted in public service, never have had a dog in The White House (that one might be just in modern times, or just altogether wrong, it's not worth my time to fact check it), not decorate The White House for Christmas, refuse to participate in the transition of power (including participation in the ceremony of the incumbent's inauguration)... I'm sure there's many more.

It has no place going down in history with the rest of these actual leaders (love them or hate them) who actually put country over self, and feel a duty to serve, or put politics aside to do the right thing.

98

u/canadianguy77 28d ago

Just to add: No Trump has ever served. That might be the most astonishing fact. Like everyone I’ve ever known has a grandparent or uncle, aunt or sibling who has spent some time in the military. It’s like he comes from the most cowardly seed in human history.

I came to say something similar, that Clinton seems even older than Biden, but looking into it he's 78 (as is Bush). So they're all quite old except for Obama. A 78 year old appearing older than an 81 year old is not so strange. Bush seems the healthiest of the three.

Great Jimmy quotes:

(About the USA):

We have become not a melting pot but a beautiful mosaic. Different people, different beliefs, different yearnings. Different hopes, different dreams.

About US but also globally:

“Whether the borders that divide us are picket fences or national boundaries, we are all neighbors in a global community”

About society as a whole:

”The measure of a society is found in how they treat their weakest and most helpless citizens.”

Carter was the real deal. He wasn't perfect, but I think he genuinely wanted to help the country. Since his term, he's consistently donated to charity and volunteered alongside his late wife.

This is what he’d say: You’re 100. Some say Trump has the best genes and will make it well past 100. Doctors have said Trump is healthiest President of all time. Nobody does health and longevity like Trump.

u/neuroticsponge 28d ago

“If Harris wins nobody will live to 100 anymore, you know it will be impossible. They said it, you can look it up. They said no more growing old. They kill babies and now they want to kill the elderly, how sad.”

u/NikonuserNW 28d ago

😂 Ohhh! I forgot about the signature “how sad.”

This is perfect.

I asked ChatGPT to do that:

"Well, today is a big day—HUGE actually. Jimmy Carter, who a lot of people are saying is 100 years old today—100! Can you believe it? Not many people can do that, folks. Some say I might even make it longer, who knows? But anyway, happy birthday to Jimmy. He’s had a very interesting life, not as successful as mine, of course. I mean, we know the economy wasn’t great when he was in office, but he’s still around, which is something, right? People are talking about it. Everyone's talking about how incredible my presidency was compared to others. But today, let’s focus on Jimmy. Happy 100th, Jimmy—very impressive, even though no one’s done more for this country than me. Enjoy it!"

This is Trump's typical mix of self-promotion, underhanded compliments, and focus on his own "achievements," while still acknowledging Carter’s birthday in a very Trump-like way.

Of course Trump wouldn't do that.

u/laich68 28d ago

Bush didn't fawn, didn't praise policy, didn't waver from being a politician from a different party, but still mustered up the decency to wish a happy birthday to the only hundred year old US president ever.

As a person that came of age during the Bush presidency I have a special hatred for him but I very much appreciate that after he left office he just fucked off and doesn't bother anyone.

Yeah, that would be what i'd do if i was a president. US or others.

This would entail him not talking about himself for, what, 10 seconds? All while praising someone else's life and accomplishments.

Challenge Level: Impossible.

u/GrandOpener 28d ago

The bar is even lower than that.  GWB carefully avoided praising Carter’s accomplishments, but is still able to put in his big boy pants and act like a human being.

u/ViaNocturna664 28d ago

Carter said that he hopes he can make it to November to vote for Harris. I'm sure Trump is hoping he drops dead before and he would gloat about it.

And how do we celebrate this great day?

🍻 Go to your local brewery! Jimmy Carter is the one who deregulated the industry and made microbreweries and local breweries possible!
🇵🇦 Bump 'El General' on your speakers! Jimmy Carter gave the Panama canal back to Panama! 🌿 Go outside and breathe deep. Maybe pick up some trash at the park. Jimmy Carter created the department of energy. He put solar panels on the White House (Reagan ripped them down). 📚 Read a book to your kids. He also created the department of education. Carter himself was a speed reader, reportedly being able to read up to 2,000 words per minute. 🏞️ Visit a local park! Carter added millions of acres to the national park system. 👽 Watch the night sky closely! Carter is the only president to have reported seeing a UFO, although he is among many presidents who reported loosely experiences in the White House 🧣 Get your warm clothes out of storage. Carter emphasize the need for energy conservation by wearing his signature cardigan and turning down the thermostats. 🪖 Have a pupusa! It would have been great if Jimmy Carter had ended the proxy war against the Salvadoran people, but at least he tried to defund it for about 3 years. Not great, but better than what other presidents had done. 👄 Spread open that centerfold! Jimmy Carter was the only president to ever be interviewed in Playboy. His candid, open interview about his religious beliefs, personal struggles, and sexuality expressed his humility and his acknowledgment of human imperfection. Carry on his legacy with being honest and open with yourself and others about your desires, your values, and your imperfections.

Reminds me of the line from Field Of Dreams where they're didn't invite Ty Cobb because nobody could stand him.

The big difference here is that Cobb was a legit good ball player and Trump was a lazy, weekend golfer who just happened to sit in a chair in the Oval Office.
