President Carter was ver naive about how brutal the world as whole can be , but at least he was an honorable man.
Joe Biden and his entire family make up what can best be described as a criminal cartel, peddling influence to all buyers, including those that do not have the best interest of the Inited States on their agenda.
I guess everyone's definition of honorable is different.
Carter received a BSc from Annapolis which requires 4 years active service for 'payback'. He didn't. He was released early so he could run the family peanut farm on his fathers death.
He granted total and complete amnesty to 200,000 draft dodgers regardless of what they did to avoided it.
He was never on any nuclear submarine nor have any degree in anything nuclear. Professes to be a nuclear theorist (whatever that might be)
Responsible for the Mariel boatlift. (FREEDOM TOWN)
Gave the Panama Canal to Panama. (doesn't matter how we got it. What matters is about 5,000 Americans died building it
Failed in the Iran hostage debacle. (444 days!)
Limited education benefits for veterans. ( He got his!!)
I could go on but it will be considered off track or argumentative.
Oh yeah, you should know, he sold the presidential yacht.
It's a real long way from honorable in my book.
And so you understand (if you want) where I stand...100% in agreement with your last paragraph.
