Happy belated 100th Birthday, President Carter! If I'd remembered, I'd have baked you a cake. But first, an apology. I spent many years beating you up in the press, only to now wish the Democrat Party had one-thousandth of what you brought to public life. But more of that in a moment.
From the get-go, I underestimated you. I remember a Democrat friend dragging me to a small gathering with maybe 30 young people in which you gave a short talk about your plan to become president. Your comments would soon go nationwide. All that folksy "I'll never lie to you" and "I'll restore dignity to the White House." I thought I was in Sunday school. And being someone who thought Dick Nixon should not have resigned (and I still don't), it all seemed a bit too high and mighty for my tastes.
Either way, I told my friend this guy has no chance — zero, nada. And yet, as things happened, Carter would show up everywhere. Talk about retail politics! I swear Carter must have been hitting every local diner in the country in his spare moments. I remember seeing him at one event where one of his opponents, a businessman whose name is lost in the mists of time, said if elected president, he was going to put a man on Mars. In my opinion, that guy had a better shot at being president than good ole boy Jimmy. I mean, was Carter even a good governor?

I am neither a prophet nor the son of a prophet. And now, I would like to present to the jury of public opinion videotape evidence that Jimmy Carter would be called a right-wing extremist in today's Democrat Party. Not that he would ever lie to you on national TV. So let's stipulate he is saying what he truly thinks and believes. Here, the great Robert Novak is questioning him on CBS's Face The Nation. Bob would probably not get through the door of any major news network today. But the so-called Prince of Darkness could cut to the chase in his direct questioning.
Novak asks Carter if he thinks abortion is murder. The archive video is not broken out, so you will have to click to the 19-minute mark segment. The transcript is below.

TRANSCRIPT:
Novak: I just brought up the abortion issue. And you say on the campaign stump that some people think that abortion is murder? Do you?
Carter: That's a hard question for me to answer. I...I have a deep feeling that abortion is wrong. At what stage in the development of a fetus it becomes murder, I can't say. But I wish there were never any abortions. It really bothers me about it. The Supreme Court has ruled that in the first 13 weeks, the mother and the doctor have a right to have an abortion. I wish that there were no abortions, but I can't say at what point the abortion becomes murder.
