Focus on the Family's Dobson Declares War on the Civil Rights of LGBTQ People and Women


What creeps me out about Religious Right zealots like James Dobson is that not only do they prescribe bizarre "moral" codes for their cultist Christian followers, but they also have a broad disdain for civil rights and civil liberties.

In James Dobson's February Newsletter, he waxes on about his enthusiasm that the United States has a black president and then goes on to declare war against the civil rights agenda of the new administration.

In frightfully militant words, this war-mongering Christian states:

We at Focus on the Family® and Focus on the Family Action™ will do our best to defend the values and principles that have characterized this ministry from the beginning. Though our "army" may be smaller, certainly in Congress and in the state houses of government, we will continue the struggle. One of my favorite historical personalities was British Prime Minister during World War II, Winston Churchill. He said during the darkest hour when his country was facing defeat and enslavement, "Never give in—never, never, never, never, in nothing great or small, large or petty, never give in except to convictions of honor and good sense. Never yield to force; never yield to the apparently overwhelming might of the enemy."

These Christian war-mongers are the greatest threat to the safety and security of queer people, people of color, and women in the country. They impose their ideology by attacking people's psychological well being. They have declared psychological warfare against women and the LGBTQ community and framing their debate in terms of war will stop at nothing to advance their cause. Until this neo-fascist regime loses power, all queer people and women are at risk of attack by their "army."

Great Blog! Check out this new Christian band that just released their first album. From what I heard on the samples site, they sound really good.

Introducing the new Christian National Anthem: Guns & Jesus.

Please pass on this info to all.
