Free Republic

Washington Post columnist says the Republican Party must ditch God in order to survive. So, Kathleen Parker has determined that getting rid of social conservatives and shelving the values they fight for is the solution to what ails the Republican Party (“Giving Up on God,” Nov. 19). Isn’t that a little like Benedict Arnold handing George Washington a battle plan to win the Revolution? Whatever she once was, Ms. Parker is certainly not a conservative anymore, having apparently realized it’s a lot easier to be popular among your journalistic peers when your keyboard tilts to the left. She writes that...

Starting at 3:48...... Sarah - "It is that intercession that is so needed and so greatly appreciated and I can feel it too Dr. Dobson. I can feel the power & that strength that is provided through, through our prayer warriors across this nation & I so appreciate it." Dr. Dobson - "You hear that everywhere you go, don't you." Sarah - " I do & that is what allows us to continue to be inspired & strengthened & just that great reminder also, when we hear along the ropelines, that people are interceding for us & praying".......

In a surprising move Dr. James Dobson of Focus on the Family announced in an op-ed in the New York Times that he and some 50 colleagues met and discussed what position they would take in the upcoming Presidential race. According to a report on Fox news October 9, 2007 Dobson said “If neither of the two major political parties nominates an individual who pledges himself or herself to the sanctity of human life, we will join others in voting for a minor party candidate. Those agreeing with the proposition were invited to stand, and the result was almost unanimous.”

NEW YORK (Reuters Health) - Children who are spanked when they misbehave are more likely to be anxious and aggressive than children who are disciplined in nonphysical ways, research shows. This is true even if spanking is the "cultural norm." Whether parents should spank their children or use other forms of physical discipline is controversial. Some experts argue that children should not be spanked when they act out citing evidence that it leads to more, rather than fewer, behavior problems and it could escalate into physical abuse. There are data to support this argument. Other experts, however, argue that the...

In the absence of intellectual arguments, liberals in the media and in politics have increasingly reverted to name calling. When I was a boy, school children would inevitably begin calling each other names when frustrated or angry. "You're stupid," one would shout. "You're dumb," came the reply. "Well, well, you're so ugly your mother doesn't even love you." "She does too—and you don't even have a mother." As tempers flared, the kids searched for even more hurtful names, eventually stumbling into the aura of World War II which had engulfed the globe. "You're Hitler," was the "baddest" insult one could...

Dr. Dobson Takes on Media over 'SpongeBob' Controversy by Gary Schneeberger, editor Focus on the Family founder did not criticize a cartoon character, as has been widely reported, but was warning parents that the group behind a "diversity" video may put material in teachers' hands that could prompt them to teach kids that homosexuality is equivalent to heterosexuality. Dr. James Dobson set the record straight today about the onslaught of media reports mocking him for comments he is alleged to have made about the cartoon character SpongeBob SquarePants. "I've been in the public eye for thirty-something years and I have...

Unless you have been living in a cave the last few days you are aware of those wacky Christian Right nutjobs taking inexplicable swipes at the beloved cartoon character SpongeBob and the notion that we should all simply love and respect each other. What could possibly be wrong with that? The answer, of course, is that the Mainstream Media has once again shown themselves to be completely inept in actually researching a story and attempting to behave as journalists. The reporting on this story has been little more than juvenile sneering and jeering from the sidelines while making no attempt...

Dr. James C. Dobson, described by the New York Times as “the nation’s most influential evangelical leader,” has declared war on six top Democrats in the U.S. Senate.

(CNSNews.com) - The same-sex marriages taking place in Massachusetts can happen in other states, too - even states that bar homosexual "marriage," some lawmakers and conservative groups are warning their constituents. "Many North Carolinians are under the impression that what's happening in Massachusetts has no relevance to them because North Carolina passed legislation prohibiting homosexual marriage," said Rep. Walter B. Jones (R-N.C.) in a press release issued Monday. "Unfortunately, this couldn't be farther from the truth," Jones said. Jones said liberal activists have made it clear they will use the Massachusetts court ruling legalizing same-sex marriage to "overthrow" the...

Dobson Emphatically Endorses Pro-Family Republican in Penn. Senate Primary Three-Term Congressman Toomey Challenging 'Moderate' Incumbent Specter By Jody Brown (AgapePress) - Pennsylvania's four-term senator, Arlen Specter, is facing a tough challenge in next week's Republican primary. Why? Some observers says it is because his opponent, U.S. Congressman Pat Toomey, has a strong pro-life, pro-family voting history that resonates with conservatives in The Keystone State. And Specter's chance for a fifth term in Congress may have taken another hit, now that a nationally-known pro-family spokesman has publicly endorsed Toomey. Dr. James Dobson admits he seldom endorses political candidates. But the pro-family...

Dear Friends, I very seldom make political endorsements, but it is with a sense of great urgency that I announce my endorsement of Rep. Pat Toomey in the all-important April 27th primary election for the U.S. Senate in Pennsylvania. It is imperative that Rep. Toomey win this election. He has taken on Sen. Arlen Specter, who now holds the seat, and who is opposed to nearly everything we hold dear. Specter has been a one-man roadblock to the confirmation of conservative, pro-family judges on the federal courts. Incredibly for a Republican, Specter helped to defeat one of the strongest conservative...

In matters of foreign policy, Teddy Roosevelt advised, one should speak softly and carry a big stick. Last month tens of thousands of Americans applied that advice to a vexing domestic matter. Their "big stick" was the threat of a nationwide boycott of one of Roosevelt's favorite stores, Abercrombie and Fitch. The threat worked. Four days before the official start of the Christmas shopping season — Abercrombie, known for overpriced clothes and underdressed models — ordered its 651 stores to stop selling "The Christmas Field Guide," the latest edition of the company's pornographic quarterly magazine. It's evidently the start of...

Dr. James Dobson, a well-known and respected national Christian leader in speaking at a rally in front of the Alabama Courthouse containing the disputed monument of the Ten Commandments compared the ongoing struggle with that of the Black equal rights movement of the 1950's. Dr. Dobson described the irony of how in 1955 when Rosa Parks refused to "Go to the back of the bus." by racially-driven bigots sparked a national equal rights movment and said that another national "movement" was now underway to protect the rights of Christians. Dr. Dobson declared, "We are not going to the back of...

Dr. James Dobson Criticizes Bush Appointment to the CDC Pro-Family Leader Responds to Administration Pick Colorado Springs — Dr. James C. Dobson, president of Focus on the Family, responded today to reports citing Dr. Julie Gerberding as the new head of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention: "We are baffled as to why President Bush would appoint someone so out of step with his stated priorities. Dr. Gerberding has been in positions of leadership in the CDC for years, but there is nothing in the record to indicate her opposition to 'safe-sex' ideology. She has no apparent concern about...
