Nut Jobs: Bob Jones III Congratulates Bush (and the rise of James Dobson)

Overall a fun tongue-in-cheek laugh for liberals wondering what we were up against.

Don't equivocate. Put your agenda on the front burner and let it boil. You owe the liberals nothing. They despise you because they despise your Christ. Honor the Lord, and He will honor you.
Yup, this guy should be a president of a University.

Luckily, this guy only represents the nut job wing of the evangelicals. Of guys like Bob Jones, Pat Robertson, and Jerry Falwell, none of them have any actual political clout this stage in the game.

The guy that's become dangerous because of his influence with the MSE (mainstream evangelicals) is James Dobson. Dobson, because he's devout, but not insane (well, not in the new inclusive Democratic party). At least, he hasn't been insane in my previous knowledge of him. Obviously he's been more busy around this election cycle than I've followed. But growing up evangelical, this guy was cited all the time in sermons, and not for crazy stuff. For good, run-of-the-mill evangelical stuff that shouldn't particularly scare anybody. Gay marriage has given him an aneurysm, but that's nothing new.

But hey, a nut job is born every minute. And this was a guy who tried to bring spanking back into practice in his 1977 book Dare to Discipline. But not unlikely, he'll get fed up as Bush starts appointing pro-abortion Attorney Generals, and take his ball and go home.

Thanks to Mikey for the Bob Jones link.
