Another Face of Hate and Evil

I have long known that James Dobson - who pretends to be some harmless grandfather figure on his broadcasts - is a leading homophobe and hate merchant. Moreover, the man has no regard for the truthful and has turned the Gospel message into a vile message of hate and division. However, now, even this disingenuous, power mad, money hungry and evil fraud has out done himself in terms of trying to ratchet up hatred against LGBT citizens. Dobson has issued a an anti-Obama letter - I want to know if it is via Focus on the Family proper or not because if it is, perhaps the IRS needs to revisit its tax exempt status - which depicts gay Americans and our equality under the law as some pestilence from the Old Testament. Much of what is set out in Dobson's "Letter from 2012 in Obama’s America" is utterly untrue and - excuse my "French" - bullshit. But then, lies and bullshit aimed at harming the LGBT community are Dobson's stock in trade. The sad thing is that far too many Kool-Aid drinkers of the far right will read this crap and believe it true. The man is truly a menace to civil society and needs to be exposed for the lying fraud that he has long been. Here are a few high lights from Dobson's hate based screed:

*
Finally the far-Left had the highest prize: complete control of the Supreme Court. And they set about quickly to expedite cases by which they would enact the entire agenda of the far Left in American politics – everything they had hoped for and more took just a few key decisions.

*
Same-sex “marriage” The most far-reaching transformation of American society came from the Supreme Court’s stunning affirmation, in early 2010, that homosexual “marriage” was a “constitutional” right that had to be respected by all 50 states because laws barring same-sex “marriage” violated the Equal Protection clause of the U.S. Constitution. Suddenly, homosexual “marriage” was the law of the land in all 50 states. . .

*
Boy Scouts: “The land of the free”? The Boy Scouts no longer exist as an organization. They chose to disband rather than be forced to obey the Supreme Court decision that they would have to hire homosexual scoutmasters and allow them to sleep in tents with young boys.

*
Elementary schools: “The land of the free”? Elementary schools now include compulsory training in varieties of gender identity in Grade 1, including the goodness of homosexuality as one possible personal choice. Many parents tried to “opt out” their children from such sessions, but the courts have ruled they cannot do this. . .

*
Adoption agencies: “The land of the free”? There are no more Roman Catholic or evangelical Protestant adoption agencies in the United States. Following earlier rulings in New York 7and Massachusetts,8 the U.S. Supreme Court in 2011 ruled that these agencies had to agree to place children with homosexual couples or lose their licenses.

*
Public broadcasting: “The land of the free”? The Bible can no longer be freely preached over radio or television stations when the subject matter includes such “offensive” doctrines as criticizing homosexual behavior.

*

Homosexual weddings: “The land of the free”? Church buildings are now considered a “public accommodation” by the Supreme Court, and churches have no freedom to refuse to allow their buildings to be used for wedding ceremonies for homosexual couples.

*
Homosexuals in the military: One change regarding the status of homosexuals did not wait for any Supreme Court decision. In the first week after his inauguration, President Obama invited homosexual rights leaders from around the United States to join him at the White House as he signed an executive order directing all branches of the military to abandon their “don’t ask, don’t tell” policy and to start actively recruiting homosexuals.

*
Christian books: After the Supreme Court legalized same “sex marriage,” homosexual-activist groups targeted three large Christian book publishers that had publications arguing that homosexual conduct was wrong based on the teachings of the Bible. . . . As a result, those evangelical publishers could no longer distribute any of their books through any of these bookstore chains. Any Christian publisher that dares to print works critical of homosexual behavior faces the same fate. As a result, several Christian publishers have gone out of business.

Obviously, Dobson has been re-reading his Joseph Goebbels handbook on propaganda tactics used against Jews in Nazi Germany to craft his very similar attack method on gays. One can only wonder how many LGBT citizens will be subjected to hate, violence and/or death at the hands of those listening to Dobson's hate speech. Dobson is many things, but being a true Christian is not one of them.
