Dobson Calls it Quits

Focus on the Family’s James Dobson is a gaseous mass of nonsense and bile. That should come as no surprise. But did you also know he’s a quitter? Dude totally gave up on a recent edition of his radio show, saying that the left-wing is just too powerful for conservative protestors to make any difference. He was talking about the ridiculous hate crimes bill that recently passed the House. While I would call it an act of resource hogging, redundant, and thought criminalizing legislation, Dobson calls the bill “utter evil”. A rhetorical difference, maybe. But instead of encouraging his listeners to fight this evil via the God-given weapons of angry phone calls and sub-literate emails, Dobson just threw up his hands and said “fuck it”. Quote: “I've been on the air for 32 years and I've never seen a time quite like this. It just illustrates what happens when we don't have what the Founding Fathers referred to as checks and balances…” Weird. I seem to remember a time not long ago when the GOP had control of both houses of congress and the executive branch. Good thing they didn’t use that power for anything torturously evil.
