A tale Carter vs. Carver

Jimmy Carter, son of a peanut warehouser, claims that he desires to serve humanity. Excluding his Habitat program of home building for the poor, he has performed the greatest disservice to America by promoting and supporting the enemies of American freedoms and self-sufficiency. In contrast, another man with an affinity for the peanut, enhanced our nation’s economic and moral landscape. The son of a slave, the 18th of 20 children, George Washington Carver, worked to better the plight of not only Negroes but all Americans. He cultivated peanuts and soybeans, ultimately utilizing 300 derivatives from peanuts. He promoted responsibility and freedom of opportunity. Furthermore, Jimmy Carter said in his Gubernatorial inauguration speech in 1970, "the time for racial discrimination is over." However, his political heir-apparent and present Presidential candidate, Barack Obama, has run a campaign dividing our country along racial lines. Racism, alive and well, won’t silently steal away because it never was eliminated and it continues to be brought to the fore. The defeat of Carter and his ultra-liberal Vice-President Walter Mondale in 1980 spoke to the weariness Americans felt for the man who supposedly ‘served‘ their interests would erase racial divides. Liberal Obama, unfortunately, fans the flames of racism and dependency, i.e. socialism. George Washington Carver, not Jimmy Carter would be scandalized.
