CARTER RETURNS NOBEL PEACE PRIZE
â??Too, Too Ridiculous,â?? Ex-Prez Says


PLAINS, Ga., March 17 â?? In a move that stunned veteran narcissistic personality disorder observers, a smiling Jimmy Carter today announced that he had decided to return the coveted Peace Prize awarded to him last year by the Nobel Committee.

â??I may be the most vainglorious, self-regarding, preachifying old coot since Henry Ward Beecher, but even I know when a joke has gone too far,â?� said Carter. â??Letâ??s consider my contributions to world peace. In 1991, as the United States was on the very verge of war, I secretly lobbied the presidents of the United Nations Security Council nations, and also the heads of the Arab nations, to try to persuade them to scuttle my own countryâ??s efforts to build a coalition and defeat Iraq. Imagine if I had succeeded â?? why, we now know Iraq was within months of building its first nuclear weapon when the war began!

â??Then, I butted into Clintonâ??s disaster in Somalia, to put together the surrender to that charmer Mohamed Farah Aideed after his boys killed 18 of our soldiers and dragged their beaten bodies through the streets. And we now know that the spectacle of the Great Satan knuckling under to a guy whose entire army consisted of 10 second-hand Jeeps directly encouraged Osama bin Laden to believe that America was ripe for capitulation on a much greater scale â?? if you killed enough Americans.

â??And the clincher â?? Korea. Yep, Iâ??m the boy who free-lanced the 1994 agreement with the head-case of that horror show to stop his nuclear bomb program, in exchange for a whole bunch of aid from us. When reporters asked me then if it was really reasonable to expect Kim Il Sung to keep his word, given that he never had before, I said: â??This is something thatâ??s not for me to judge.â?? Well, of course, neither that nut-job nor his nut-job son honored the deal for one second. So, now, eight years later, another American president has inherited another fine mess I got us in.â?�
â??Please, take it back, and stop me before I negotiate again.â?�

I guess that puts him right up there with the worst president of all times (Both parties) G.W.Bush, Well maybe not. After all he was trying for peace.

The point is that he causes problems, big time. The man's administration was a disgrace. I remember how he handled the Iranian Hostage crisis - if he hadn't screwed that up so badly, he likely would have been reelected, Ronald Reagan wouldn't have gotten in, and you know the rest.

The hostage crisis wasn't his only blunder - but it was the final nail in the coffin for his career as president. He should have been a nuclear physicist.

Maybe he found his calling to begin with, a Babtist minister. He might not have been our most savvy President, I'll give you that, but he was and is the most compassionate I've seen since Roosevelt. And isn't that what a peace prize is all about, compassion?

Your disdain is always on display, isn't it, BA? I've not yet seen you open your mind to much of anything, and you certainly cannot ever be less-than-obnoxious about someone who's done far more for humanity than you can perceive. You're not fit to lick Jimmy Carter's boots.

I do not think that it is befitting for a moderator to constantly make personal attacks on board members who have different political opinions.

[birdgirl73]

I'm sure it's not--and I saw your earlier comment, too, before you edited--but all is fair in love and politics. I edited my thread, too. It originally contained a reference to something other than Carter's boots. Check it with our senior political mod, P4B, if you like so he can confirm the rules here for you. (He agrees with you about Carter, by the way!)

You've been here longer than I have and know the rules here by now. You're just mad at me. I will definitely get ugly in defense of Mr. Carter. You have no idea how much disease he's cured or how much good he's done. You just focus on the bad. As always.

You are making an accusation that you have no proof of - I made no objectionable reference, and IF (I'm not saying I did) I made a mistake while typing I edited it out before posting it. I have placed a question about this in the other forum. My feelings about Jimmy Carter, etc., have nothing to do with you - but you are taking it personally. Your insults will not sway my right to free speech, under the guidelines of this board.

I still find myself wanting to know why you can insult women, parents, single parents, children, Jimmy Carter, families, poor people, Islamic people, various others, and intelligence in general and then get defensive when someone gives you a taste of your own medicine. That's quite an irony.

I thought you wanted to bury the hatchet.

Is that an "insult" to Native Americans, as well? I wouldn't want to exclude any group from the list.
