Op-ed: How evangelicals became part of Washington's fabric

How do we get rid of them.

That's the question, because whatever the hell they are about, it isn't peace.

The Raw Story | Op-ed: How evangelicals became part of Washington's fabric:

Rosin continues, 'Goodling is part of a new generation of evangelicals ushered in by Falwell, who insisted that Christians get involved in politics. They are graduates of the exploding number of evangelical colleges, which no longer aim to create a parallel subculture but instead to train 'Christian leaders to change the world,' as the Regent mission statement reads.'

Rosin notes that the law school at Regent University, which was founded by televangelist Pat Robertson 'has had 150 of its graduates working in the White House,' and 'the school estimates that one-sixth of its alumni are in government work.'

'Call them the Goodlings: scrubbed young ideologues, ready to serve their nation, the right's version of the Peace Corps generation,' Rosin writes.
