Maybe trump has them on retainer, too.
to travel only 700 yards while the rest of the G7 participants walked.

Speaking of, Obama's United to Protect Democracy is also busy swinging -- legal hammers, at Republican lawbreakers.
He doesn't proselytize, just walks the walk.
I can't think of a man I admire more.
Just what you said!
Never, ever came close to implying that. Please feel free to let me know where I did if you disagree.
President Carter has always been open about his faith and I'm just saying that his actions are consistent with his faith, unlike many who claim to act consistent with Christian faith but only impose their biases and world views on others.
I never said non-Christians couldn't have principals or values or be altruistic. I was merely pointing out what I believe to be a good example of the Christian faith.
I don't think HopeAgain was stating anything along the lines of only Christians would work hard to help others. I believe the point was through Jimmy Carter's good deeds, he is a testament to his Christian faith. Good deeds can be done by people of all religious beliefs. Would Jesus himself help build a house? I believe so. Mohammed? Moses? Buddah? Richard Dawkins? Yeah, I think they'd all pitch in somehow.
I think HopeAgain's message was more like "look at Jimmy Carter and compare to someone like e.g. Pat Robertson". Both of these people profess to be Christians. Mr. Carter is a leader in his church, as is Mr. Robertson. One goes out and builds houses. The other is known for his homophobic, racist, and Islamophobic sayings and not necessarily for his good deeds.
So let's spin it this way: Who's the better Christian - Jimmy Carter or Pat Robertson? I decline to judge the individuals, I leave that to God - besides I don't know either of them personally. I will however judge the actions, and my personal belief is that Jimmy Carter's actions appear to me to be more Christ-like than Pat Robertson's, and as such I support HopeAgain's statement in that I believe Mr. Carter's work through Habitat for Humanity is a sign of a good Christian. But you are also absolutely correct Mariana in that there are many great people who are not of the Christian faith who do wonderful work for all kinds of organizations.
Both of you raise valid points 
James Earl Carter, Jr. ROCKS!
I hope he lives to be 200 (and still hammering)!
Paul Ryan Busted For Staged Photo-Op At Soup Kitchen Where He Pretended To Wash Dishes

The head of a northeast Ohio charity says that the Romney campaign last week “ramrodded their way” into the group’s Youngstown soup kitchen so that GOP vice presidential candidate Paul Ryan could get his picture taken washing dishes in the dining hall.
Brian J. Antal, president of the Mahoning County St. Vincent De Paul Society, said that he was not contacted by the Romney campaign ahead of the Saturday morning visit by Ryan, who stopped by the soup kitchen after a town hall at Youngstown State University.
“We’re a faith-based organization; we are apolitical because the majority of our funding is from private donations,” Antal said in a phone interview Monday afternoon. “It’s strictly in our bylaws not to do it. They showed up there, and they did not have permission. They got one of the volunteers to open up the doors.”
He added: “The photo-op they did wasn’t even accurate. He did nothing. He just came in here to get his picture taken at the dining hall...”
Upon entering the soup kitchen, Ryan, his wife and three young children greeted and thanked several volunteers, then donned white aprons and offered to clean some dishes. Photographers snapped photos and TV cameras shot footage of Ryan and his family washing pots and pans that did not appear to be dirty.

I haven't been able to cry about anything. I've been too hardened to cry, until now. I've always been a fan of Jimmy Carter & now, I love him dearly. He's the finest quality of man.
