Dishonoring America and Peace
By Steven Plaut

In an era when Yassir Arafat and Shimon Peres hold Nobel Peace Prizes, I suppose none of us should find it too surprising that Jimmy Carter gets awarded one.
Jimmy Carter, Mister Peanut from Plains Georgia, was without a doubt the worst American President in the post-World War II era, and possibly the very worst President ever. True, Clinton would be a major contender, but Clinton will be remembered for his sneaky sleaze, underhandedness, and sly dishonesty, whereas Carter will be remembered for his disgracing America, for his appeasement and defeatism, for his anti-Americanism, for his cowardice and pandering to terrorists, and most of all for his overwhelming stupidity.
Carter was without a doubt awarded the Prize as a slap at the Bush Administration. The Scandinavian leftists who award the Prize do not like Americans who believe in using armed force against Islamist fascism or in defending America, and their very best role model for coddling Islamist terror and fascism and for American self-abasement is Jimmy Carter. Goobers Carter took America to its all-time security low. He groveled before the Iranians who held American hostages. He disarmed America. He brought the American economy to a ruin. He produced the highest inflation rate since the Civil War, a fact that no doubt endeared him to the Scandinavian socialists of the Nobel Committee, and a high unemployment rate. And he led the campaign to appease the Soviet Union, insisting communism was here to stay, all this eight years before it utterly collapsed.
But more than anything else, Carter will be remembered for his bashing Israel. He is the one whose affirmative action appointee to the UN, Andrew Young, launched the jihad for Palestinian statehood in the American foreign-policy establishment. He sucked up to Jesse Jackson. He led the campaign to dismember Israel and reward PLO terror. He spent his years since getting kicked out of the White House in one of America's greatest election landslides lobbying the world on behalf of the PLO, campaigning for sanctions against Israel, and of course for Israel's Oslo national suicide. So I suppose he has everything it takes today to be a Nobel Prize winner.
Carter was the symbol of appeasement, stupidity, detachment for reality, weakness, and timidity. So in all of this he will share his prize well with Rabin and Peres.
Carter's stupidity is still a matter of bitter humor. We recall his infantile attempt to be an Alpha male and talk about his lusting after women, a matter which led to that famous cartoon of him gazing at the Statue of Liberty and imagining her naked. This was the peanut-brain from Plains, the dumber brother of Billy Carter.
So who really does deserve a Nobel Peace Prize?
Answer: The greatest living American President. The man who undid Carter's appeasements and coddling of Islamist terror. The man who put fear into the hearts of America-haters. The man who believed in using force to block communism, who fearlessly labeled communism the Empire of Evil. The President under whose administration the growth in the US economy was larger than the size of the entire economy of Germany. The man who restored American self-respect. The man responsible for the end of the Cold War. The President hated by Scandinavian appeasers and Eurocowards: Ronald Reagan.
