I've always had great respect for James Dobson and he is most certainly a moral man who has this country's well-being uppermost in his mind.
I'm observing an uncharacteristic flip from political common sense in him. It is not an auspicious omen when he starts shooting across the bow of Republican candidates, even going so far as to state ominously that he doesn't believe one of them is a Christian.....as if he has a magic eye or something.
Some people who believe they can influence millions through displays of moral authority and pursuasion can sometimes become slightly over-the-top. I sincerely hope Dobson stops issuing little subtle fatwas on any and all of the GOP candidates......and instead praises the ones he feels most closely match his ideals, and shut up about the others.
It would be even more helpful if he takes aim at the 'Rat candidates. It's not too early to start banging away on Hillary and Obama. I wonder how many bible-believers there are among all their leftist and marxist candidates.
Only time will tell if I've misjudged Dr. Dobson. As of right now, I stand by my assessment of him based on his recent statements. We'll see how far he's going to take his political remarks as the various campaigns progress.
It's worth noting that Gary Bauer immediately stepped right in to calm things down. And probably to help check Dobson from making more of a danged fool of himself than he already has these past two weeks.
Finally, James Dobson has chosen to insert himself into the Republican primary campaign. Therefore he's fair game for both kudos and criticisms. I'm sure he realizes this, and his supporters should as well.

Please read what he says.
Leni, may I suggest & doesn't it occur to you that suddenly it's 'open season' on Dobson....he is being demonized coming and going, right and left!!
The 'powers that be' who want to shape this country to their political persuasion still feel threatened by Dr.Dobson because they know....without a shadow of a doubt...he will hold to his convictions/conscience to the death!
He is in their way.....and folks who are as like minded as he are in the way too.
He won't go down without a fight & neither will the rest of us.
We will not cede our families, our freedom or this beloved nation to the propaganda and thuggery of RINO's in the Republican Party.
For goodness sakes, read all of Man50D's posts....he says it well.
I have no idea who Man50D is....never met him....but I'm glad he's at FR to support positions I hold dear.
And last....but not least....thank-you Leni for your kind words to me.
