oh, and another thing. why don't strongly religious people favor states rights? why does this guy want the federal government to legislate morality. more specifically, HIS morality.

he should worry about his own house and stop trying to push his values on the entire country. what's good for arkansas might not be so good for new york. maybe next he'll be pushing for a constitutional ban on judaism. or atheism.

“he should worry about his own house and stop trying to push his values on the entire country. what’s good for arkansas might not be so good for new york. maybe next he’ll be pushing for a constitutional ban on judaism. or atheism.”

Didn’t you say in your last post to me that you don’t know Dr. Dobson or who he is? When did he try to push anything on you, Sir?

Dr. Dobson is a man with conviction who is supported, not by tax money, but by individuals who have been blessed and helped by his ministry, and who willingly contribute so that others, who want it, also have an opportunity to receive help.

What do you recommend? Maybe you would have the FCC order the FOTF radio programs removed from the airwaves so that Dr. Dobson can’t “push” anything on anyone.

Do you ever listen to any radio or TV talk shows featuring very outspoken men? (Rush, Haunt, Levine, Drudge, Savage, Boortz, or others?). Would you say that these men are “pushing” something on people?

Are you not now “pushing” on us the concept that no man’s morality should be introduced on a radio or TV set (?), that those who might appreciate men like Dr. Dobson should be denied his ministry?

If you ever happen upon the Focus On the Family radio broadcast, let me remind you that your radio has a couple of useful knobs or buttons. One will change the frequency, and one will cut the power off. So again, I ask, when Did Dr. Dobson ever push anything on you?

Federalism may be, in fact, one of those areas where I might disagree with Dr. Dobson — but how does that translate in your mind that the man is dishonest about his or his organization’s income, and would accept money from another candidate to not support Fred Thompson? And if you know so little about Dr. Dobson, then how did you come to know so much about his position.

Thank God for people in our nation who HAVE a morality. People that don’t, want to shove their lack therof on us. Historically, people with Dr. Dobson’s morality, along with the source of that morality were here F I R S T !! The founding fathers openly and publicly endorsed and recommended the source of Dr. Dobson’s mind set. That source is the Bible. We have recently posted eight pages of public quotes from our founders and presidents down to FDR that endorsed the values and principles of the Bible. Need we repost those eight pages and more? There are full volumes of them, published.
