Obama's America circa 2012 by Dobson & Co.

Just when you think the extremist Christian right can't possibly sink any lower into the slime, a "Letter from 2012 in Obama's America" arrives on the Net.

The "letter" is a pretend look into the future after four years of an Obama presidency. It is written and published by James Dobson's Focus on the Family Action. FOFA is a separate corporation from Focus on the Family, so they can legally get by with this kind of bullshit.

Much of the letter is standard extremist Christian crap -- the Supreme Court will legalize gay marriage, and homosexuality will be taught to little bitty kids in the public schools, and abortion will also be legalized, and the poor Christians in America will lose their freedom to enact their hatefilled laws on all citizens.


The letter begins with a maudlin ode to the Star Spangled Banner, which the writer "can hardly sing ... any more." He/she just tears up and gets a lumpy throat when he/she hears those words about the land of the free and home of the brave!

For "true" Christies, things have gone downhill in four years. In 2012, the Supreme Court has been stacked with ultra-liberal, non-Christian judges who believe in making the law instead of interpreting the law.

That means same-sex marriage is OK everywhere. Oh, and the Boy Scouts have disbanded they were being forced to hire gay scoutmasters who had to sleep in tents with the young lads.

Elementary schools have been compelled to train their kiddos "in varieties of gender identity." Beginning in first grade! Christians can't home school anymore and they have no say in the public schools. Most "true" Christians have left the teaching profession. Can't say the Pledge of Allegiance any more, either; in fact, "under god" has been taken out of the pledge.

Adoption agencies are forced to place children with gay families. Business with government contracts have to hire gays. You can't say anything against gays on the air waves or from the pulpit or you might be put in jail!

Abortions are rampant since they've been made legal. Infants "can be killed outright just seconds before they born." Doctors and nurses had fled the medical profession rather than be forced to participate in killing babies.

No more guns. No more home schooling.

Obama "has been reluctant to send our armed forces to any new overseas commitment." Al-Qaeda has taken over Iraq. The U.S. has suffered two terrorist attacks. Russia has invaded, occupied and re-taken "several Eastern European countries.

In Latin America, Prez. Obama has strengthened ties and trade agreements with commie nations.

Tel Aviv was mostly destroyed in a nuclear attack by Iran.

Health care is down the tubes because it's now run by the government and there are long waits for treatment. "Euthanasia is becoming more and more common."

Obama's tax policies made the deficit grow much larger and he spent so much money we couldn't afford to cut taxes. We have decreased production and increased inflation and unemployment.


Ah, hell, this goes on and on. What it does, I think, is show the depth of depravity of the Christian extremists. They will, literally, say and/or do just about anything to stop Obama from winning this election. Truth matters not at all. They claim Obama is not a "real" Christian because he believes that people might be able to come to god outside of the Christian faith. Hell, the Catholic church believes that!

This "letter" almost makes me believe in a devil. He or she couldn't do any more damage to our national well-being or to the character of the CHRISTIAN Barack Obama than this so-called "Christian" letter.

Evil is as evil does. Focus on the Family Action is evil.

1. I can't wait for his head to blow up on 11/4
And by the looks of it, it will be very soon after the east coast polls close.

3. They basically say anything they want with no regard for the long term effect
They intentionally divide this country for their own ends and power. They are the ones who hate the real America.

7. If Jesus and God were real in the Christian sense, Dobson would
be in a lot of trouble. The average atheist would stand a better chance of getting into "their" heaven than Dobson and his power and money hungry gang.

9. i do believe in Jesus and God.
i agree that those scum won't make into heaven. they will be turned away. i believe they will be made to feel the pain and hurt they caused others for eternity. i believe they will be judged and their judgment will be to forever relive their evil deeds and feel the pain they inflicted. it is what gets me through, when i see how they have made christianity a bad thing again. i remember this back in the 1980's. it doesn't shake my faith but, it makes others leary against christianity and any other faith.

14. Fortunately, for the real and good Christians, it doesn't matter
what crooks like Dobson say. The New Testament speaks for Christianity. It's still the same.

4. Those who believe that the earth is 6000 years old&in the talking snake theory of evolution have
little credibility except among the ignorant sheeple that follow them.

5. So, Jack Chick has taken to writing novels now?
Or did they just string all the Chick tracts together?

Hey, wait, so Obama turns out not to be the anti-Christ in this little fairy tale of theirs? Gee, lot's of fundies are going to want their money back...

6. I wish those pricks
would just rapture themselves already. It's become clear that their version of God aint going to do it anytime soon so hopefully they'll find a passing comet or something and take the initiative.

Dobson is a vile asshole, I'd dearly love to smack that ever present smirk off his face.

11. If they could kill off the homosexuals and black "living on the dole"
miscreants as Sarah Palin said today they'd have Utopia. This hateful bigot needs to prepare himself--he's going to be bunkin with Jerry Falwell soon.

12. But not soon enough.
If I believed in hell, I could easily imagine Dobson and his spiteful, hatred-filled ilk sizzling in it. But I don't. More's the pity.
