I used to be an admirer of James Dobson up till last year. I thought he was a very worthy ally in the fight to keep conservative values in our country. Dobson has been getting increasingly uptight about stupid stuff over the past couple of years, and now this just crosses the line. I think he does some great stuff within the Christian community, I think he does a good job of giving advice on how to raise a healthy Christian family and make a difference in your community. Anybody have children who listens to Adventures in Odyssey or used to listen to it yourself? I used to love that radio show when I was little. But now he's becoming more of a liability to the conservative movement, with all the bad press he gets over dumb stuff like this. It's just shooting us in the foot. I hate to see Dobson marginalized but he's making himself into our next Jerry Falwell, and the media will continue to paint the right wing as dominated by Christian versions of Islamic jihadists (not that it's one guy's fault, but it doesn't help). Has he always been this freakin uptight and I hadn't noticed before, or do you guys think he's been growing worse since a year or two back?

If he were criticizing HBO for showing graphic jail rapes in its series OZ, I'd side with him. That was genuinely gross and well worth condemnation. But Spongebob? Give me a break!

Media is the operative word. The media has done their best to paint him that way. Since when do we believe what the media says???

Go to the website and see all the promotions they use to get these kids to accept homosecuality. Watch the video.

For years we have been teaching our kids not to talk to strangers. If someone makes you uncomfortable, leave or run if you have to. No one has the right to touch you inappropriately.

This video is telling kids we are all family, if someone is a little different and it makes you uncomfortable you should be tolerant.

Kids do not have the ability to differenciate between different and dangerous. THis video is more of the kind of thing is putting our kids in serious jeopardy. Whole the subject is out there, assaults on children are on the rise again!

How can you not see that?

"ANY" "public" posting, mention, endorsement or reference to an individual's uncoerced choice to partake in perversion is unnecessary to say the very least.

Uptight? I would hardly call anyone's refusal to tolerate the intolerable uptight.
