Jimmy Carter

 Jimmy Carter

"America did not create human rights, human rights created America."

Jimmy Carter was a great president who was elected in the 1970s because he was not from the establishment. Jimmy Carter was voted by Americans because he was true and authentic instead of being a part of the bureaucracy. Jimmy Carter was a peanut farmer and not an FBI agent like Nixon. 

Jimmy Carter was able to deny aid to nations that did not respect human rights of its citizens. Instead of engaging the United States in wars with foreign countries, Carter denied aiding the countries that did not respect human rights. Carter was able to allow for there to be peace between Israel and Egypt when it was difficult to establish peace between both countries for 30 years.

Because Carter was successful at establishing harmony between Israel and Egypt, he was probably hated by the establishment. It is likely that he was hated for not starting wars and for causing there to be peace between nations. It is no coincidence that the Iranian hostage situation happened in order to blame Carter and tout him as an ineffective leader despite brokering peace between nations. 

Carter was blamed for the Iranian hostage situation being that it was most probable that it was not his fault. The establishment did not like Carter and probably did not want another four years of Carter in the presidency. Despite not being re-elected, Carter would still remain active brokering peace with other nations including Bosnia, Nicaragua, and North Korea after the presidency. Carter created the Carter Center of Emory University in 1986. Carter was involved in helping charities and donating resources to the needy. Carter even helped construct houses for the homeless. Jimmy Carter was an industrious Christian. This would explain why he was reviled by the establishment and called "a bad and inefficient president". Carter's actions described that he was a true Christian and not a false christian.
