Five Republicans were in the majority for Roe v. Wade.

Five Republicans (and no Democrats) upheld Roe in 1992.

Justice O'Connor (Reagan appointee) is one of the ones most interested in foreign law.

Justice Kennedy (another appointee of St. Reagan) was the author of the Lawrence v. Texas decision, which overturned sodomy laws.

There is only one true liberal Democrat on the Court, Ruth Bader Ginsburg. The Supreme Court is 7-2 in favor of the Republicans. Breyer is quite the moderate Democrat.

How voting Republican will solve this man's problem is beyond me.

Falwell and Robertson are just country preachers who made the big time. They have a big following, but are guaranteed to say something stupid on a regular basis, which means relatively few people take them seriously.

Dobson is educated, folksy, and most important, is a psychologist. He knows what to say to sound moderate, and he knows how to get his followers to do what he wants. Dobson knows how to steer any debate, theological or otherwise, back to what he wants it to be and where he wants it to be.

For example, an article in a popular Chrichby a young woman that mentions that "virginity pledges" aren't working and that when they do, they are producing "Bill Clinton virgins". More importantly, they are practically useless for single twenty-somethings. To make a long story short, the point of the article is that the Christian community needs to better present it's position on not having sex outside of marriage.

Dobson's article in response completely ignores the woman's message and goes straight to his political theme - that this is a symptom of the decline of morality in America. A legitimate theological discussion has been short-circuted and turned toward a political goal.

Dobson is also making a considerable amount of money off of his various self/family improvement books. To my evangelical friends Dobson, by the authority of his psychology degree and his simple, folksy style, is the bona-fide expert on marriage, family, and child-rearing. Inevitably, Dobson uses these opportunites to reinforce his political message, doing so with a comment here, an anectdote there in a way that it is barely percieved by the reader.

Dobson is by far the most dangerous of the evangelical leaders, both to good Government and to Christianity as a whole.
