You just have to love this Whitehouse. Now former President Jimmy Carter has been branded "increasingly irrelevant" for his outspoken continued opposition to the invasion of Iraq.

As President, Carter had much going against him. Much of it was of his own making. After all, he was the first born-again president, and the first (before our current incompetent) person elected to that high office based on evangelical support.

Oh! Some might point to Reagan as the product of evangelical action, but that was not a matter of evangelicals promoting one of their own; to the contrary, it was evangelicals turning on their own.

Carter was the promoter of evangelical ideology, and he managed to seriously hurt the American economy; Reagan was a continuation of anti-communist McCarthyism, and, as such, managed to ring-up debt at a rate unsurpassed in American history (that is, until the current administration).

George W, like Jimmy, was brought into office by the evangelicals. It is worthy to note that the evangelicals would later claim Reagan as one of theirs.

Why "worthy to note"? Why because of Reagan's poor handling of fiscal matters; something which marked the Carter and current Bush administrations. Incompetent foreign policy was also a hallmark of both Carter and Bush practices.

Fortunately, we who have the eyes to see, are getting a real kick out of their self-destructive policies. Back in the days of Vietnam, warnings were made. But this evangelical group simply lacks the ears to hear.

Shall we believe the Whitehouse? Shall we accept that Jimmy Carter is now "increasingly irrelevant"? Remember!

Remember, this is the same Whitehouse, the same President, who declared a few years ago that Osama Bin Laden and al-Qaeda were completely "irrelevant" in any of American dealings abroad, or at home.

This is the same Whitehouse which declared global warming a myth; and it is the same Whitehouse which hold evolution to be a myth, and not supported by science, anthropology, archaeology, or geology. It is, in their view, not even supported by DNA evidence of evolutionary mutations which are ongoing and demonstrative.

Well children, I must accept the administration and its belief in the Biblical. Revelation and other sources declared that the evil nations would see plagues of locus. Thus, the Whitehouse has shown it is the evil foretold.

As I write this, plagues of locus, or what we call cicadas, are emerging in the Midwest. Billions will soon swarm the skies in a display of divine wrath and retribution. That is the Biblical, the evangelical, the Right-wing mandated interpretation of natural cycles and evolution!

Isn't it?

AIDS was denounced as typical of the divine wrath response to the homosexuals. Since it started in Africa, there must be a special divine hatred for black homosexuality. And since it is spreading in many Asian nations, there must be a divine hatred of those people.

But since Buddhist Temples survived the Tsunami while churches were totally destroyed, the divine hatred is not toward Buddhists.

Come to think of it, whenever there is an earthquake, churches are the most damaged. There we have it, evangelical

pronouncement, there is a divine hatred for everything Christian; and America is a Christian nation, so we can expect major destruction here. Cheer Divine wrath!

The evangelicals gave us Carter and Bush; they want to claim Reagan as one of their own; they love depriving the poor of medical care, depriving the poor of food, they love denouncing the least among us and rewarding the wealthiest and most powerful; they serve Caesar at every opportunity; they gave us Falwell, Robertson and Dobson.

Wonder what might really be becoming "increasingly irrelevant"?
