#3 I think, as does The Captain's Quarters, that Jimmy Carter was the worst President ever. In this instance, like Ed Morrisy, I think he is being unfairly attacked.
There was a bit left out from Carter's quote. Here it is, " But the devil stipulated fatal provisos: an abandonment of God, and an acknowledgment of earthly things as dominant. ... Anyone who accepts kingship based on serving the devil rather than God will end up a tyrant, not a benevolent leader."

#4 Good of you to post that correction and clarification, Deacon.

Now, if Jimmy would just acknowledge that the principle applies to Hugo Chavez and Yassir Arafat and Kim Jong Il and Mahmoud Amahdnejad and . . . .
