I have stayed relatively quiet on Dobson's recent rant, for a variety of reasons. A post may come, but for now give this one a read and, regardless of your political beliefs, let's hope together that we are seeing the last pathetic grasps for power that Dobson and his ilk will be able to throw at us.
I have this theory that Dobson’s organization is targeted entirely at an older generation (those who are now 40+). I feel that their organization is going to die out with them OR the organization will make a serious turn for something new because I don’t know anyone my age who takes Dobson seriously. Maybe I just don’t know the right people, but that is the way I feel. Their organization still grabs so tightly to modernist thinking.
I agree with your theory. I don’t know anyone who takes him seriously either, and I’m getting the impression that he doesn’t either and that’s why he feels the need to make these ridiculous statements in the hopes that fear will get them to pay attention to him again. I hope we’re right.

Hey Danny,
