A surprising admission coming from one the crazies in the Democrapic party. ---- One of Germanyâs biggest newspapers â Spiegel â reports: Former U.S. President Jimmy Carter ⦠in the wake of the NSA spying scandal criticized the American political system. âAmerica has no functioning democracy,â Carter said Tuesday at a meeting of the âAtlantic Bridgeâ in Atlanta. Many other high-level U.S. officials have also warned that the U.S. is no longer a democracy. Carter also said that the moral authority of the U.S. has sharply declined due to excessive restriction of civil rights. And â like many other top American officials â Carter also said that Edward Snowdenâs revelations do not harm our national security, but are âusefulâ. http://www.spiegel.de/politik/ausland/nsa-affaere-jimmy-carter-kritisiert-usa-a-911589.html http://www.ibtimes.com/nsa-controversy-jimmy-carter-says-us-has-no-functioning-democracy-1351389
