Did anyone else hear Jimmy Carter on Terry Gross?
on "Fresh air with Terry Gross" President Carter pulled no punches talking about this administration, the religious right and how the Southern Baptist Convention has changed for the worse since his presidency.
snip)
"Blurring the line between church and state threatens civil liberties and privacy, says former President Jimmy Carter. That's the case he makes in his new book, Our Endangered Values: America's Moral Crisis, which draws on Carter's experiences as a president and a Christian.

Carter was the 39th president of the United States. In addition to his work to help ensure the fairness of elections around the world, he founded the Carter Center, a conflict resolution organization. In 2002, Carter was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize for his work to end violence and spread human rights." (snip


Here's a link to Fresh Air's web page with a link to the interview as well as an excerpt from his new book, "Our Endangered Values". HIGHLY recommend listening to the interview. He is as eloquent as ever.
