Hear And Obey

Are you having trouble thinking for yourself? You can tune in to a multitude of radio stations here in the High Country--and be told that the only candidate that a good Christian could ever vote for is John McCain. That's it--problem solved!

One person issuing these directives is none other than Dr. James Dobson (Focus On The Family), the same chosen one who declared that he would never vote for McCain. While he has not endorsed McCain yet, Dobson is moving ever so slowly to McCain's side. Is this the same good doctor who said he would never vote for McCain? Why the divine flip-flop?
...
I am convinced Sen. McCain is not a conservative, and in fact, has gone out of his way to stick his thumb in the eyes of those who are. He has at times sounded more like a member of the other party.
...
But now, Dr. Dobson says:
...
"I never thought I would hear myself saying this," Dobson said in a radio broadcast to air Monday. "... While I am not endorsing Senator John McCain, the possibility is there that I might."
...
It seems that Dobson is sufficiently "alarmed" by Obama:
"He is also supportive of the entire gay activist agenda. We're not just talking about showing respect for people and equal rights for all citizens of the United States. It’s not referring to it in those terms. He’s talking about homosexual marriage. I mean, he makes no bones about that. He's talking about hate crimes legislation which would limit religious liberty, I have no doubt about that, that ministers and others - people like us - are going to very quickly be prohibited from expressing your faith and your theology on certain views. … Just so many aspects of his views on that issue that keep me awake at night frankly … that he is so extreme, that he does threaten traditional family life and pro-moral values …"
And so we are told by the "Christians" over the public airwaves how to place our votes. How to think. Fear tactics are freely used. All in the interest of raw power.

With as many radio stations as there are out there that carry Christian-oriented programming, you'd think that maybe one station might want to carry some other religious views...but more on that later.
