He certainly has been a better "Former President Carter" than he was a "President Carter"

It's my conviction that we would be having fewer issues with North Korea, specifically,
had one or more of his successors used Carter's good offices instead of trying to isolate him.

Hey, from his presidency he could only go up.

She's so mean but I don't care
I love her eyes and her wild wild hair
dance to the beat that we love best
heading for the nineties
living in the wild wild west

The paranoid schizophrenic makes a video 3 months ago. Enjoy his descent into a complete retreat from reality. It's actually fascinating, in a weird way.

For bonus points, assign his ramblings to the American left or right. To make it easier for you, here are his talking points:

- The Afghanistan war is illegal under the Constitution... due to US currency.
- A student says hi and he rambles that he "lost his freedom of speech to that guy." (ETA: possibly his teacher who gave him a B)
- Pima Community College gave him a B for Freedom of Speech.
- Pima Community College will make him homeless.
- Pima Community College students are illiterate.
- Pima Community College is selling books that are illegal under the Constitution.
- We are censored by our freedom of speech because government controls the grammar.
- Police action at Pima is full of illegal activity.
- Pima Community College teachers are paid illegally, by illegal authority under the first amendment, which constitutes genocide.

Which takes use back to posts early in this thread. How did nobody notice? Why did (or could) nobody do anything? The Pima County Sherriff noted how we dump the mentally ill onto the streets. Is this an example? Or was he able to keep his condition unknown to others?

From disjointed facts, apparently the Pima CC had seen this tape three years ago. They required Loughner to obtain psychiatric help before he would be permitted back. He was known to police five times for disturbing classes including math and biology.

The powers that be did know. So the question is what could they have done? A question we also should have been asking after Ford, Lennon, and Reagan were shot. And we (as a nation) did not.

So retreating behind a notion that he was just having a bad hair day was never an option.

Oooooh look everybody!

Where you sending your next bomb? I heard you wanted to take out Pelosi?

Three months ago... he made the tape Sept. 23.

Now if I can only remember which news source provided that erroneous fact so as to avoid them. Three months makes more sense.

Nice.... Who are they going to blame for this one?

From that cited LA Times article of 14 Jan 2010:

Quote:

Within hours of seeing the video, college police officers arrived at Loughner's home and delivered a letter of immediate suspension to Loughner and his father, Randy, school police reports said.

Apparently that is all they can do. What power and responsibility does a father have?

Maybe someone did notice, but they were afraid that if they said anything, he'd shoot them. In hindsight, they may have been right.
