Well, James Dobson has finally jumped the shark tank. I'm envisioning him on Fonzie's motorcycle wearing the cool leather jacket as he is spreading the message of fear across the land.
I found this letter from a link on Andrew Sullivan's website tonight. The letter is full of the most crazy, delusional, and crazy (yep, it's that bad) ranting that I may have ever heard detailing how the USA will look and operate after only four years of an Obama administration. Some of the best (craziest) predictions are:
Freedom of Speech will be revoked. Any publishing house that prints an anti-homosexual message will have been shut down.
Gasoline will cost $7 per gallon because Obama has outlawed all new oil drilling.
"Since 2009 terrorist bombs have exploded in two large and two small U.S. cities, killing hundreds, and the entire country is now fearful, for no place seems safe."
Due to the liberal Supreme Court's overturning all of the FCC's restrictions on obscene speech and visual content , pornography is openly displayed at all times of the day and night on TV.
And my favorite..."Because medical resources now must be rationed carefully by the government, people over 80 have essentially no access to hospitals or surgical procedures."
Here's the link to the PDF:

Now for a little self disclosure...the author of this letter is known as "A Christian from 2012," but I still lay this squarely at the feet of Dobson.
Also, I am a Christian, and I teach Sunday school for the high school youth at my church. However, the message from Focus on the Family does not square with any of my beliefs.
Okay,
I got some good feedback for the diary I just deleted about Palin possibly being the grandmother to Trig, and not the mother. And truthfully, I don't want to sling mud, but I do want to apply some heat to the McCain/Palin ticket.
So, let's try this link:

This is factual, and hopefully passes the smell test.
Once again, I do appreciate all of the comments from the previous diary, and I deleted it quickly.
