RLK, unless it affects your child or your neighbor's child or my child, you're probably right.
I once was quite the idealist, and thought a moral cause would be sufficient unto itself to make people respond & work to bring about the right results.
Dobson has been sounding the alarm for years & years.........and he will continue to do so until his dying breath, no doubt....
Many have responded to truth of what he says..........the awful, undeniable truth...... but as so often is the case..
... the same folks...
.. the same community...
... the same church...
... the same organization ......help him ring those alarm bells.....over and over...
....and grow weary in the process.
I've often heard, as I'm sure you have, the saying..."So goes California, so goes the rest of the nation"......especially as regards to mandated school 'trends'....
Through the years I have watched these 'trends' wind their way down to our little town.....especially one particular program, where the mostly conservative folks, the church folks, parents... fought it tooth & nail.
We actually won.
It can be done, mandate or not!
We think.....sometimes I think.....all will be well, Bill Clinton is not president anymore.
I KNOW.....I know that is wishful thinking......incorrect thinking.....stupid thinking.
I know there needs to be constant vigil!
RLK, you mentioned 'revolution, and blood in the streets'......
MINUS the blood in the streets (certainly not from our side, propaganda from the other side notwithstanding!)....the Pro-life community DID try a revolution of sorts .....oh about 14 years ago.
Folks were willing to go to jail by sitting in front of the doors of an abortion clinic...(the police call it trespassing)....
Thousands of folks all over the country were willing to (and actually did) do this.
It might have worked......it might have stemmed the tide .....IF the mainline churches and the media and the rest of the folks helped create a groundswell...........instead of demonizing the protesters & causing division within the churches that supported this attempt to thwart the plans of the left....
We won some battles, but Planned Parenthood won the war.......
....AND we still have abortion....
... and the gays are still promoting their agenda for our young boys....
.... and it's getting worse.... and the slippery slope gets steeper.....
But you see, RLK, many folks didn't want to get involved..........
...cause it wasn't their child needing an abortion......and they didn't want to be embarrassed by standing out on a public sidewalk holding a sign....and the media successfully demonized Pro-lifers to such an extent, that often we were on the defense explaining we were peaceful, we only held signs, we didn't call people 'baby killers'.....and the strongest protest some had taken..... had resulted in arrest.....from trespassing.
RLK, sorry for my diatribe.
I sometimes feel the need to respond, after reading James Dobson's plaintive cry ....once more.
JohnHuang, heartfelt thanks for posting Dobson!
