Exposing the role that Islamic jihad theology and ideology play in the modern global conflicts

GQ wishes Jimmy Carter would run for high office in 2018

Jun 28, 2018 11:00 am By Robert Spencer

GQ is supposed to be about men’s fashion or something, but today the Left is politicizing everything everywhere, and so GQ is indulging in some fulsome nostalgia for this superannuated anti-Semite.

Back in 2008, Carter claimed that Hamas was prepared to accept the right of Israel to “live as a neighbor next door in peace.” He had no grounds for saying so, and it wasn’t remotely true, but this claim helped him perpetuate the fiction that the Israelis, not the Palestinians, were responsible for the failure of all peace talks and the ongoing tensions between the two.

Two years before that, Carter published the notorious book Palestine: Peace Not Apartheid, in which he ignored the jihad imperative to destroy Israel, and the numerous maximalist and even genocidal declarations from Palestinian leaders, and painted an outrageous fantasy of a peaceful Palestinian people, ennobled by suffering and besieged by a rapacious Israeli war machine that was imposing apartheid policies in the name of a false need for security.

Many find it odd that the renowned architect of the Camp David Accords would stoop to all this; but it must be remembered that at Camp David, Israel gave up a great deal in exchange for little more than promises – promises that have been repeatedly broken. Jimmy Carter’s record of hostility toward the Jewish state spans his entire career. He has never publicly recognized that it faces the same jihad foes that attacked America on September 11, 2001, and counsels policies of appeasement and accommodation that, if fully implemented, would only embolden the jihadis and further weaken Israel.

GQ, apparently, loves that idea.

“Jimmy Carter for Higher Office,” by Michael Paterniti, GQ, June 25, 2018:

Ex-presidents are supposed to gently retire. Make a life of lucrative speeches, or stay home and paint. But for nearly 40 years, Jimmy Carter has refused to fade away. At 93, he still spends most weekends in his hometown, preaching wise and powerful sermons. Sermons that speak to our current national crisis. That make us realize: We need Mr. Jimmy now more than ever….

    HAHAHAHA…Hahahahah…oh….sigh. The dems have a 29 year old woman and now a 93 year old man to carry their banner. Is there no one in between? The pickings must be slim indeed.

        He’s just as bad. What is he – 110? His ideas are that old. They “ain’t got nutthin’.”

      Yes, but better for us not to be overconfident. We have not won the midterms just yet.

    Socialism is the politicisation of aesthetics, said communist Walter Benjamin. About the only thing he was right about. GQ seems hell-bent onlosing more readers by putting the worst president of the last 100 years on a pedestal.

    Carter was expecting to die from brain cancer 3 or 4 years ago but new drug therapy has apparently left him completely cancer free. I’m glad he was able to beat a terrible disease before it spread throughout his body. Quick recognition of the problem and aggressive treatment produced positive results. Too bad Jimmy can’t see Islam for the cancer that it is and lend his support to those battling it. Denial that a cancer exists in the body will never lead to a positive result. Trying to treat the problem by going after the wrong source of the illness is even worse.

    Good one, made my day.
    The second worst president in history after Obama who wins that title hands down.

    GQ is a joke and caters to 40-50 year old men who still have not figured out how to dress. M

    Yeah, Jimmy was such a cracker jack as President. I just do not think Jimmy could ever really differentiate reality from fantasy.

    Well, they are a fashion mag, which presumably means they are defined by cowardly conformism masked as boldness, so what did we expect? Basically, their main concern is that their cash flow not be interrupted. They don’t want any trouble. So they make a bizarre, “bold” choice that few of their fashionable readers can object to, since anyway the choice was clearly not meant seriously. Just a joke. Don’t get mad at us all you political fanatics, keep buying our mag. Pleeeeessseee…

    I thought Jimmy Carter was the worst President we’ve ever had. Boy, was I wrong. Barack changed all that. Here is a verse from (allegedly) the same Bible I learned from. As to Israel: Deuteronomy 14:2.
