Can America Afford Another Jimmy Carter?

A great piece today at American Thinker addressing the similarities between today's presidential election, and the presidential election in 1976.

The current presidential election is reminiscent of the presidency of Richard Nixon; one cannot help but be reminded of the Watergate Scandal, the biggest political scandal in American history. Watergate caused the American public to lose faith in the presidency and especially the Republican Party. As a result, in 1977 Democrats and some conservative Christian voters rushed to the polls to elect a virtually unknown political figure outside of Georgia and one of the most unqualified liberal presidents in the history of America, Mr. Jimmy Carter.

Today we face a similar dilemma where American voters want to turn the page on the last eight years and are coming very close to electing a relative amateur with questionable associations to the highest and most powerful office in the world. If America did not learn the lessons of the Carter administration, we just may be doomed to repeat them.

I would only add that Nixon won 49 states in 72' notwithstanding the press, the establishment, a bad economy, the war, etc.

Watergate was a civilian coup orchestrated by the left, the Wash Post, Kennedy related forces and exacerbated by Nixon's responses to this matter.

As for this year we face two roads:
Socialism, tinged with Sharia loving thugs or
Freedom!!!
