Thank God for Dr. James Dobson

He is one of my heroes. I wish we had a Catholic religious or lay person speaking on talk radio like him with his strong support of the family, the unborn and marriage. Focus on the family is the outstanding religious program on the air waves. In Southern California you can hear him daily {M-F, possibly other hours on weekends} at 7:30 AM at 99.5 FM, 9 AM on 740 AM, and 10 PM on 99.5 FM radio.

Within the past week, Dr. Dobson accused presidential candidate Obama of “distorting the Bible.” Here is what Obama said: (newmax.com, Mon. June 23/08)

“Even if we did have only Christians in our midst, if we expelled every non-Christian from the U.S.A., whose Christianity would we teach in the schools?” “Would we go with James Dobson’s or Al Sharpton’s?” referring to the civil rights leader.
Dobson took aim at examples Obama cited in asking which Biblical passages should guide public policy – chapters like Leviticus, which Obama said suggests slavery is OK and eating shellfish is an abomination, or Jesus’ Sermon on the Mount, “a passage that is so radical that it’s doubtful that our own Defense Department would survive its application.”
“Folks haven’t been reading their Bibles.” Obama said.

Dobson and Minnery accused Obama of wrongly equating Old Testament texts and dietary codes that no longer apply to Jesus’ teachings in the New Testament. Dobson said

“I THINK HE’S DELIBERATELY DISTORTING THE TRADITIONAL UNDERSTANDING OF THE BIBLE TO FIT HIS OWN WORLDVIEW, HIS OWN CONFUSED THEOLOGY,”
“ … HE IS DRAGGING BIBLICAL UNDERSTANDING THRU THE GUTTER.”…
Dobson reserved some of his harshest criticism for Obama’s argument that the religious motivated must frame debates over issues like abortion not just in their own religion’s term but in arguments accessible to all people.
HE SAID OBAMA. WHO SUPPORTS ABORTION RIGHTS, IS TRYING TO GOVERN BY THE “LOWEST COMMON DENOMINATOR OF MORALITY.” LABELING IT “A FRUITCAKE INTERPRETATION OF THE CONSTITUTION.”

“Am I required in a democracy to conform my efforts in the political arena to his bloody notion of what is right with regard to the lives of tiny babies?” Dobson said. “What he’s trying to say here is unless everybody agrees; we have no right to fight for what we believe.”…

And now from http://newsmax.com – Wednesday, June 25, 2008
Dobson then unleashed this broadside against Obama: “What terrifies me is the thought that he might be our president … might be in the Oval Office … might be the leader of the free world … might be the commander in chief – because as I said a minute ago, the man is dangerous, especially in regard to this issue of morality. I can’t tell you how strongly I feel about this.

“He’s saying that my morality has to conform to his because we all have to agree or else it’s not democratic. Do you remember the position that he’s taken on the Born Alive Protection Act that was passed in Congress in 2002? It kept medical people who were unsuccessful in killing an unborn baby – they took their best shot at {the baby} and {the baby} managed to limp into the world – and so Congress said if he comes out alive you can’t murder him.

“That came to the fore of the state of Illinois legislature, and the only person to oppose it was Barack Obama and he was chairman of the committee, and got up and spoke in opposition to it. {He said} ‘We’re saying that a person is entititled to the kinds of protections provided to a child – a 9 month old child delivered to term – it would essentially bar abortions because the Equal Protection clause {that he was opposed to} does not allow somebody to kill a child.’ “This man believes, {that it’s acceptable} to kill children that you don’t want or need…” You decide.
