I've listened to Dobson on the radio for years and have read some of his writings. He has a lot of credibility with me. If you are a parent, you'd do well to take his advice. Believe me; people are less tolerant of other peoples' brats. It's sort of like George Carlin said, "Your own aren't so bad." (Of course he was talking about something else, but the same holds true.)

As to that dog story you posted... In my opinion, that dog is lucky to be alive. He showed more mercy than it deserved.

I see that the article you cite refers to Dobson’s “authoritarian politics”, and then links to an article denouncing the Tea Party.

Evidently you forgot that you weren’t posting at the Daily Kos when you offered up this link to back up your case against Dobson.

Ydstrk, I have agreed with you on many occassions, but ABC polling on corporal punishment to civilize the kids and pounding the dog with a noisy piece of newspaper....well....you lose me there. And cafephil.com sounds like a passel of latte drinking beard strokers nestled comfortably on one of the two left coasts.

Try again.
