The Sanity and Humanity of Jimmy Carter

Nation Magazine has published an editorial in defense of Jimmy Carter at a time when his bold and frank voice on behalf of the marginalized and dispossessed is being severely criticized. Here's the conclusion from "The Sanity of Jimmy Carter:"

At a time when there is too little honesty or boldness in our politics, Jimmy Carter speaks his mind, with sanity and humanity. His ideas deserve discussion and debate, not vituperation and ad hominem attack.

What comes to mind, is when John The Baptist sends his disciples to ask if Jesus is the Messiah -- the answer was in essence look at my actions and decide for yourself.
Such a shame that Christians today can't look at the actions of Bush and Carter and tell which one is truly Christian and which is a wolf in sheep's clothing.
