I (personally) classify Dobson as one of the "good guys" who can be trusted to be on the right side. I submit that like-minded secularists, conservatives and thoughtful, principled Libertarians would be able to find significant common ground when it comes to vital issues pertaining to establishing a healthy marriage and family.Governmental attempts to supress cultural items that emerged through free expression (and free and uncoerced economic transactions) are rarely going to gain support from the friends of liberty.

The pro-homo activist agenda has nothing to do with liberty. Their agenda is a form of belligerent cultural coercion in those cases in which they try to force their agenda through the legal, school and court systems. Tolerance of someone living with someone of the same sex (however gross) is one thing, but allowing these clowns to hijack cultural institutions is a completely different matter. If they feel this nagging imperative, maybe they should voluntarily deport themselves and form their own country, with their own laws somewhere else?
Sponge Bob is a different story, that's what channel blocking is for, etc. What you watch is clearly your own personal decision. That is an issue that relates to personal liberty.
On the other hand, militant legal agendas that attempt to actually force changes in law are a completely different story should be halted by all available legal means. They are the cultural aggressors and it is not within their rights to re-mold institutions and laws in society in their own warped image.
This is not their right and liberty is not the issue. The way our society has functioned since 1783 has worked reasonably well, and the traditional institution of marriage (legally defined as being between one man and one woman) is generally well-established in our tradition, our general cultural mores, our laws, customs and generally-accepted historical precedents.
Society at large is well within its rights to fight back, stop, and roll back, the encroachments that the liberal anti-family movement has made in the last couple of decades.
Put into the longer-term historical perspective, they are an emerging militant, revolutionary element and their attempts at cultural hijackings are clearly a direct assault on this country. With zero apologies, I hope that this phenomenon in recent American history is only a temporary aberration in our country’s history which has been “corrected” by present and future generations. What these people create or do on their own is their business. What they endeavor to do unto public institutions in general is not theirs.
