"He's just unilaterally going off on his own and undermining everything the international community and the United States is (sic) trying to do," protested Republican U.S. House Rep. Sue Myrick (NC-09) today in the call to revoke the passport of former president Jimmy Carter.

Myrick also wants taxpayer funds to the Carter Center, which conducts humanitarian efforts worldwide, severed. "Why," the lawmaker asks, "should we support his center when he will not support his government?"

"Frankly," the lawmaker said, "I wanted to send a strong message, because we have a policy in this country about Hamas, and he is just deliberately undermining that policy, and it's wrong.

"You know, Hamas has continually stood for terrorism against peace, and the State Department, the administration and Israel all opposed him going over there to meet."

3. They don't want the kind of peace Carter wants -

He wants peace for all people worldwide. She's right, They're working for piece, too. A piece of any country who has something that they can use, abuse, or will line the Repubs pockets.

4. God forbid we talk to our enemies and work out

a peaceful solution. Better to stand back and threaten throw missiles.

5. Repubs like to instill fear

Carter's tactics of diplomacy go against fear and generate hope. Repubs don't want hope - they want to bully the whole world into submission.

I cannot tolerate bullies of any ilk and I ferevently wish that the majority of Americans could understand that being a bully is NOT a good thing.
