" But I'm not talking about his diplomatic recognition of Communist-occupied
China, and his betrayal of our loyal friends on Taiwan. "

He seems to have forgotten that diplomatic recognition of China began in
earnest with Nixon and Kissinger.

One really can't dismiss the damage Carter has inflicted on the US when
he gave away the Canal, turned his back on our Middle East allies, and
allowed China to become today's predominant power. History will record
Carter as the worst President and ex-President in US history. And that's

If you put ping pong players ahead of embassies in the defining of "the
establishment of diplomatic relations" there is no hope for you.

Not that this comes as news to anybody.


So, you're not familiar with the sheer volume of government contact we had
with China, 10 years before that piece of paper was signed? I suppose if the
piece of paper suits your definition of "who sucked off the Chinese first",
there's not much I can do to change your mind. But, the fact is, it was
Nixon & Kissinger. Nixon *needed* to do it, to put some kind of positive
spin on his work at the time.

Old enough to remember it was the radical wing of the Democratic party

here, Carter has done more real damage to America than any other

Stick with the subject of when diplomatic relations were restored with

You're dismissing it and trivializing it by referring to it (more than
once) as "that piece of paper", in a manner recalling your idol's referral
to "that woman, Miss Lewinsky".


The document was just a formality. Let me ask you this: Before the document,
how many years' of effort went into making it happen? I'm guessing you'll
say 2, but I could be wrong.

Every president we've ever had has either used unilateral and/or secretive

It's OK. By doing what he does, he flushes others like him out of the

anti-Semites and/or general buttholes. I notice that at least three
formerly frequent "nasty" posters here have practically disappeared,
mainly because they had nothing to offer but their low-brain-output
venom. Good riddance.

As a point of fact, a few of the very best therapists each year usually
are offered an opportunity to intern at large state forensic facilities
for a time, and they typically jump at the chance. The opportunity to
work with the sickest members of society is a stellar educational
experience. Offer up therapy to a "criminally insane" murderer gives you
insight into the mind you simply don't get with bored suburban housewives.

Or so I am told.

Harry,
Skipper doesn't care if you dump on him or engage in conversation.
Trolls don't care what you say, as long as you respond to them.

THE ONLY SOLUTION FOR ALL TROLLS IS TO TOTALLY IGNORE THEM.

I logged on today, at least 80% of the posts were responses to obvious

No, it would be George W. Bush, who can take all the credit for the mess
in Iraq, the world's opinion of us, the deficit, destruction of the
environment, reduction in human rights, the tanking of our economy, the
sale of our freedoms to fundamentalists of all kinds and the widening of
the gap between the rich and poor, just to name a few of his credits.
What a guy.
