FYI...
p.s. i moved my Proust Questionnaire responses to my other blog ... trying to keep them organized ;-)... it seemed more fitting for that one, since its more of an off-topic site....
pouting in a corner...
a quickie ...
apparently Dr. Dobson, who if you aren't aware, is apparently the Official Spokesperson for all that is right and true, is pissed off at Obama...
man its a good thing that Dobson is urging people to vote for McCain as an alternative then, right?
oh wait. Forgot that he is apparently too saintly to vote this year.
Great strategy though... "his" Republican candidate(s) didn't get nominated, so he decides to question the "religiosity" of McCain while simultaneously condemning Obama...that way, no matter who wins, Mr. Dobson can sit back and tell his listeners "I told you so."
Great civics lesson for you young people too... despite what your parents tell you, whining and pouting when you don't get your way, is apparently the "courageous" thing to do.
I'm not arguing against whether Dobson's comments against Obama were well-founded or not... both men made valid points, and i need a whole new post to sort that out. However, his political/civic irresponsiblity is absolutely despicable. This is easily one of THE most important, most politically and socially signficant elections that we have had in america since at least the 1980 election. There is so much at stake, ranging from the War in Iraq, to appointments in the Supreme Court, to healthcare policy to strategies dealing with the impending energy crisis, to immigration, to same-sex marriage, to foreign relations with Iran and Syria and N. Korea.
You want an election to NOT vote in? Try in 1996, Dole vs. Clinton. But 2008? Ridiculous. There is too much at stake, and yet Dr. Dobson is using his position of influence as a rallying cry for Christians to further become simply a sub-culture on the American Scene. Not vote for the President? Give me a break.
Congratulations Mr. Dobson, for proving yet again that the Founders were so incredibly wise to put in checks and balances creating a separation of church and state to protect BOTH institutions from each other.
This genuinely ticks me off....
