And thank you for the second paragraph. That first line is correct. Carter was emasculated, and you could add "at home." It was best summed up by a person not much liked on here, Novak, who said, "This Presidency is a Mom and Pop operation, and Mom's running the store."
I don't find much, if anything, to disagree with in your other well-written paragraphs, either, on this issue. I think you hit the point I wanted to make (and did in another post) that seeing false piety is different from seeing a person whose religion totally informs his/her actions, i.e., has become almost genetic to the point that it is inseparable from the person.
Thanks, I often think that many disagreements [though, of course, not all] result from the variability of language and the different way different people have of expressing themselves. It is usually too hard to be so precise all the time so as to avoid confusing other minds. Take care.
