U.S. "Has No Functioning Democracy"


July 18, 2013 "Information Clearing House - Former U.S. president Jimmy Carter is so concerned about the NSA spying scandal that he thinks it has essentially resulted in a suspension of American democracy.

“America does not at the moment have a functioning democracy,” he said at an event in Atlanta on Tuesday sponsored by the Atlantik Bruecke, a private non-profit association working to further the German-U.S. relationship (its name is German for “Atlantic bridge.”)

Carter’s remarks did not appear in the American mainstream press, but were reported from Atlanta by the German newsmagazine Der Spiegel, whose Washington correspondent Gregor Peter Schmitz said on Twitter he was present at the event. The story does not appear in the English-language section of the Spiegel website, but is available only in German.

How about our servile corporate media, a former president calls it like it is and gets no press. What a fraud our media has become

He was blacklisted loonng before that when he criticized Israel for it's treatment of Palestinians; not that it matters anyway, he STILL gets it wrong. The united States is NOT a democracy, functional or otherwise...it was and was intended to be a FREE REPUBLIC.

Poor Jimmy, he has ate too many peanuts. No one pays him any mind. Let us all be thankful he only served one term too many.

Jimmy wasn't so bad, considering he got more opposition than Obama ever had.

He wasn't supposed to win, and when he did they sabotaged him from day one.

Obama doesn't care what anyone thinks. He just gets his attorneys on it, makes unlawful appointments, rewrites the constitution and rule of law, his buddy Holder will never turn on him, congress is so corrupt and the WH's NSA has all the goods....

Never let it be said that crime doesn't pay....just look at DC.... it pays very well!
