A couple of weeks ago, I blogged about recent comments made by James Dobson on the culture war and the fact that he has not waived a white flag of surrender. At that time Dobson stated he believed that the culture war was by no means over, but that Christians had entered a “discouraging period.” However, Dobson may now have temporarily surrendered to the “utter evil that’s coming out of the United States Congress.” Dobson told his radio listeners yesterday:
I want to tell you up front that we’re not going to ask you to do anything, to make a phone call or to write a letter or anything.
There is nothing you can do at this time about what is taking place because there is simply no limit to what the left can do at this time. Anything they want, they get and so we can’t stop them.
We tried with [Health and Human Services Secretary] Kathleen Sebelius and sent thousands of phone calls and emails to the Senate and they didn’t pay any attention to it because they don’t have to. And so what you can do is pray, pray for this great nation… As I see it, there is no other answer. There’s no other answer, short term.
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, where the excesses of one party or one branch of government limit the reach of power hungry and self-serving people and keeps them form doing things that are harmful to the country. That’s the way the system was designed. We have 2 major political parties in this country, not one. And bipartisanship is a media creation that’s designed to promote one point of view instead of the debate that should occur. And that’s why media doesn’t talk about bipartisanship when conservatives are in power…

The show is entitled “Protecting Our Country’s Future” and the show discusses public policy issues and the lack of checks and balances in Washington, which Dobson believes is resulting in the radical agenda being pursued by our leaders.
