Dupayosh of the Week of April 4, 2011   James Earl Carter

~ This 'n' oughta git hissef a compleat chaptah in that-there book 'Holes I have known by 'Fork. Um, um, um. ~

“Former President Jimmy Carter says much of the discrimination and abuse suffered by women around the world is attributable to a belief ‘that women are inferior in the eyes of God.’  [Ed.:  Translations can get tricky.  In 'Fork's opinion, scholars are altogether nay-saying the ancients' reference to 'women' and rushing as one toward the ancients' word for 'politicians'.]

“Carter said such teachings by ‘leaders in Christianity, Islam and other religions’ allow men to beat their wives and deny women their fundamental rights as human beings.  [Ed.:  This Christian missed that memo, but roger on the other Greens.]

. . .

“Carter said he doesn't fault religions for oppressing women, but blames men who selectively interpret the Bible and other scriptures. He suggested there are other, more flexible interpretations.

“Carter called [the] mistreatment of women ‘the most serious and all pervasive and damaging human rights abuse on Earth.’ ”  [Ed.:  Jimmy, sweet-cheeks, where goes gubmints' abuse?  Gotta list, do ya?]
