Jimmy Carter's crazy slavery theory: He thinks the Civil War was un-Christian

Well, duh. War usually is, but Jimm-uh the Rabbitslayer thinks that waiting it out would've been just dandy...

He [writes]: "A legitimate question for historians is how soon the blight of slavery would have been terminated peacefully in America, as in Great Britain and other civilized societies."

Carter's comments are so stunning that at a recent discussion about the new book at the New-York Historical Society, both the book's co-editor, Joshua Wolf Shenk, and another "distinguished American" who contributed to the book, Cynthia Ozick, distanced themselves from them. Shenk said he disagreed, and Ozick mocked the idea of negotiating with slave masters.

Carter holds up the British - who didn't fight a war over slavery - as an example, but a careful look shows that case to be thoroughly unconvincing. Parliament had acted in 1807 to ban the slave trade and in 1833 to abolish slavery altogether. By the time the Civil War began in 1861, America's legislature had yet to follow suit - and the Southerners didn't appear in any great rush to do so.

So, let me get this straight: leave the slaves to stay enslaved while "massa" gets his head right? Basically, do nothing and let the bad guys have their way (which is rather the summation of his administration).

Jimmy Carter: enabler of tyrants, past and present.

Where's the $1.3 million in Kilpatrick war chest?
Ex-mayor, dozens others fail report on campaign finances

Former Detroit Mayor Kwame Kilpatrick has failed to file a required campaign finance report, violating state law and raising questions about what happened to the $1.3 million he had on hand at the end of 2007.

I hear there's going to be an opening in Richmond soon, and a "City of Pride & Purpose" sounds like his kind of town.
