Focus On The Screwed Up Mind Of James Dobson

I can't possibly summarize and do justice to this, so just go here.

I had been going to just respond, but I realized that my response deserved a post of its own. Chalk one Inspiration Point up for you.

...He can play rough-and-tumble games with his son...

I thought that kinda stuff was illegal.

Oh, for the luvva gawd...

A susceptibility to be bullied by other boys, who may tease them unmercifully and call them “queer,” “fag” and “gay.”

Yes, of course. If other boys call your son names, they must be right. If your son objects to being called those names -- which he should, after all, if you've raised him Right -- that just proves it.

. . . he wants your kid to scope out penises.

Oh dear God

If I'm reading this correctly, Dobson thinks that if your son is unathletic, the proper response is to take him into the shower and drop your pants

Why is this sounding like really bad porn?

If you'll excuse me, I'll go track down my Fred Small CDs and play "Everything Possible" now:

You can be anybody you want to be
You can love whomever you will
You can travel any country where your heart leads
And know I will love you still
You can live by yourself, you can gather friends around
You can choose one special one
And the only measure of your words and your deeds
Will be the love you leave behind when you're done

Probably because of the part about playing rough-and-tumble games, and pounding pegs into holes.

<ding-dong>

Say, did someone order a pizza? I'm afraid I don't have my wallet. Maybe we can come to some type of... arrangement?

I love that song... also this one which was sung to me by a dear sweet soul by the name of Elspeth Odbert a few years ago:

"How can anyone ever tell you that you are anything less than beautiful?
How can anyone ever tell you that you are less than whole?
How can anyone fail to notice that your loving is a miracle?
How deeply you're connected to my soul."

I sing that to anyone whom I think needs it at the time, and I'm usually right about it. I believe in sharing the gift.

Pretty lyrics - I found a version of that recorded by Shania Noll. I have to pick up a copy soon. My wife needs th hear that occasionally, and my singing voice has been (unfavorably) compared to that of a monitor lizard with a hangover

This is yet another indication that this world doesn't make sense. Dobson sits at the head of a multi-media empire, and can peddle his crap to hundreds of thousands of people, while Rev. Fred Small, who actually seems to read the Bible without Dobson's footnotes:
( "Love your neighbor*

*As long as he isn't, you know, feygele" )

is almost impossible to find

I searched for the song high and low before i got the version by Ms Noll.. Love the song

i think he's a closet homosexual... he probably molests little boys in his pool and then scares them with hellfire and brimstone if they tell.

[fraggedone.livejournal.com]

Well, you know, you could always bring them up as a military man. Everyone knows that no one's gay in the military, right? ;-)

I agree, Dobson is having some American Beauty closet reaction.

Right, and Shrubby is the best thing to happen to america since sliced bread... :-p

[kayshapero]

That guy has waaaay too much free time.

[shikyrie.livejournal.com]

now where have I seen your name before?

[kayshapero]

I dunno - are you a filker? If so, I can sometimes be found on rec.music.filk when I've got time to read it (which isn't often these days). I've also got a website.

[shikyrie.livejournal.com]

well, considering that Ms. Fish is a e-pal of mine, I'd like to think I'm a filker... And I've been on rec.music.filk, and a couple other groups from time to time :)

[shikyrie.livejournal.com]

wait... I know, it was you that gave me the means to contact ms Fish a few years back... TYWM :)

[kayshapero]

Glad to have helped. What name would I know you by?

[shikyrie.livejournal.com]

probably this one... I use Shikyrie most anywhere

[kayshapero]

Then I guess I've no idea who you are elsewhere. Not that that really matters. :)

[shikyrie.livejournal.com]

like I said, it was quite a while ago... but nice to make your acquiantance again :)

[liddle-oldman.livejournal.com]

Heh. I like it. Reinforce his gender identity by letting him know that Dad is all about the penises. Lots of them.

[shikyrie.livejournal.com]

or another way to look at it is this:

Don't teach your children to be gay.. teach them to be pedofiles

My Dad taught me to throw and catch a softball, does that make me a lesbian?
