Tim Lahaye was key with Ed McAteer and Jesse Helms in the Pressler network that all came together to unseat Jimmy Carter, while beginning the fundamentalist takeover of the Southern Baptist Convention.

Working with LaHaye's wife was Phyliss Schlafly's Eagle Forum.

Balmer's recent bio of President Carter along with Rick Perlstein's new book on the Ascendancy of Reagan all shine light on different aspects of what Carter aide Robert Maddox called a ginned up cabal.

I hope Aaron Weaver and Bruce Gourley are keeping up with the avalanche of recent works showing how we got to this Tea Party Moment as Colin Harris wrote wo wisely a few weeks ago.

The upcoming seminar at FBC Spartanburg--see public policy forum--is exhibit A of what all this has wrought
