manchicken here…

So I caught wind of this “pretend letter” via Christianity Today–not as right-wing as many would think, so I can often tolerate it–that was release by Focus on the Family.  This is a complicated situation here, so let me break it down for you…

In this 16-page PDF letter written by “A Christian from 2012,” Focus on the Family says that in the first Obama administration the following things happened.  Please note, reading this and sharing it with you *TURNS MY STOMACH*.  The very idea that a group claiming to have the best interest for Christians at heart would release such filth just aches my soul.  I am in tears thinking that an organization I once respected would dare go to this length to affect a Presidential election with so much hate and ignorance.

I reluctantly submit to you the 25 items I gleaned from the “letter” before I became physically ill at the thought of how society in general would view Christians–and even me as a Christian–as a result of this letter.

1. Obama tilts the courts 5-4 in favor of liberals over conservatives.
2. The court subsequently starts making decisions based on what is right for society not what is legal and constitutional.
3. Gay marriage is instantly legalized because the new “liberal court” recognizes gay marriage as a constitutional right.
4. The Boy Scouts disbanded because they would now be forced to allow homosexual scout masters, and they wouldn’t allow the scout masters to sleep in tents with young boys.
5. All schools now must teach elementary schools about gender identity issues as soon as Grade 1, parents may not opt out.
6. Homosexuals may now adopt, and even Catholic organizations must allow them to do so.
7. All companies with government contracts must provide gay couples with equal benefits as they do heterosexual couples.
8. The Bible is censored over radio and TV
9. Doctors who won’t artificially inseminate lesbians will face fines or lose their licenses.
10. All other professionals are prohibited from discriminating against homosexuals.
11. Churche-like organizations must now hire gays.
12. The President issued an executive order encouraging homosexuals participate in the military openly.
13. High school students are prohibited from praying anywhere on school grounds.
14. Schools are no longer permitted to lease space to churches.
15. Campus Christian organizations go away.
16. They pull “Under God” out of the pledge.
17. Obama will somehow make abortion a “right”
18. Nurses and doctors are no longer free to refuse to participate in abortions for reasons of conscience, so many Christians leave their medical careers.
19. Children are now permitted to look at porn with no legal barriers.  Porn is now considered an art form, and is openly displayed in grocery stores and gas stations.
20. Gun ownership is illegal, and somehow that leads to a sky-rocketing inner-city violence rate.
21. Home schooling is illegal now.
22. Terrorists are emboldened by US pull-out of Iraq and start attacking the US.
23. Because the government respected our privacy and stopped illegal wiretaps and closed Gitmo, terrorists have detonated bombs in two large and two small US cities, killing hundreds.
24. Iran detonated a nuclear weapon in the middle of Tel Aviv.
25. Because of Obama’s healthcare policy, the prostate cancer surgery  waiting list is 3 years long.

I once thought that Focus on the Family was an uber-conservative group that actually did have a focus on how faith plays a role in the family… I am now coming to a completely different conclusion… and it’s not a pretty one.  It is categorically offensive that Focus on the Family would release such filth, and I call for a boycott of Focus on the Family.  Focus on the Family has chosen to focus on smear tactics and has become the mouthpiece of the neo-con movement.  They are not focused on my family or your family, they’re focused on GOP political control.

Dr. Dobson, if you’re watching (which I doubt you are), shame on you for allowing your organization to release this.  Have you really sold out to the GOP?  Do you not see that this undermines everything that Focus on the Family pretends to stand for?

The rest of you, I’ve reluctantly attached this soiled wad of toilet tissue in PDF format for you to see for yourself.  Feel free to comment, this is just sick.
