My mother put me on the mailing list when I got married. I was reading it before that for many years, as well. I own Dare to Discipline, Bringing up Boys, and the Strong Willed Child. My favorite radio show has a bit by him several times a day.
I don’t like Dobson’s recent judgmental comments. I don’t like being considered somehow “unChristian” because I don’t think that the marriage amendment or a right to life amendment will ever get passed, and that we need to work in other directions.
I think Dobson has become proud and uses his power in totally inappropriate ways.
So I am done with him and his organization.
I should buy “The Strong Willed Child” . . . my girl is very stubborn. I don’t know as much about Dobson as I should to go to bat in this thread for him; I’ve only had contact through listening to his radio show, CD’s of it on family trips, and an occassional e-mail or website page that my wife shows me. It’s always been good sense to me so I’ve been surprised at how adamant people have been.
I’ve been thinking that the Fred Heads are afraid that the Emperor has no clothes . . . and want to shut up anyone that points to any weaknesses on Thompson’s part, hoping to create an aura of invincibility to make up for a problematic candidate. My take is that Hunter is the better candidate and should be getting Conservative support.
