So anyway, again and again, I find that the people who hate the intrusive God of Jesus also tend to hate Dobson as well. Having some moral failing of theirs seems to bring out the ugliest in them.

The problem normal, rational people have with Dobson is the same problem normal, rational people have with Newdow: we're sick to death of people with chips on their shoulder, for whatever reason, finding perceived "insult" and "offense" everywhere they look, and expecting that society offer them some form of official redress because of it. I know you and your ilk are too wrapped up in the righteousness of your religious beliefs to understand this, but trust me: you're exactly the same as those whiny atheists who insist that their lives will come crumbling down because some city council member mentioned "God" at a meeting.

Just imagine how easy a sell conservatism would be if we didn't have nutjobs like this "on our side" . . .

So warning people that their kids are about to be indoctrinated with the homosexual agenda via the cartoon characters they may know well is "finding perceived insult and 'offense' everywhere they look, and expecting that society offer them some form of official redress"?

That's quite a leap.

Your saying that we're"exactly the same" suggests to me that you have a visceral reaction for some personal reason, and have never thought it through. Actually, me and my types founded the nation in which you enjoy your freedom. (You'll love hearing that.) The entire premise for the framework of liberty is the fabric of Biblical morality. That's John Adams I'm channeling there.

Tear at that framework, and you destroy at the foundation of that liberty, to mix metaphors.

Dobson stands for the framework, and he's done terrific work. Your part seems to be to offer obscenities and juvenile taunts.

I'll take Dobson.

Ditto. Precisely right.
