James Dobson is the founder and leader of Focus on the Family, which is an organization that strongly supports "conservative values." This group includes millions of conservative Republicans. Basically, when you hear about the "base" of the Republicans, people are talking about Dobson and his group. Regarding Dobson, Slate.com has called Dobson "the most influential evangelical leader in America," and believes "Dobson may have delivered Bush his victories in Ohio and Florida."

Dobson and his group obviously oppose homosexuality and gay marriage. Specifically, here is how Dobson feels about homosexuality and gay marriage: "Homosexuals are not monogamous. They want to destroy the institution of marriage. It will destroy marriage. It will destroy the Earth."

Obviously, Dobson has a problem with gays. Well, being the problem-solvers that Republicans are, Dobson has a solution. Dobson explains a way to ensure your boy will not end up gay: "the boy's father has to do his part. He needs to mirror and affirm his son's maleness......He can help his son learn to throw and catch a ball......He can even take his son with him into the shower, where the boy cannot help but notice that Dad has a penis, just like his, only bigger."

Hahahahaha. This guy is serious! Honestly, I think all these anti-gay people are totally gay. I mean, how strange of a proposal is showering with your son, so he can see how big your penis is?!?!?!
(not to mention, how absurd is the notion that teaching your kid to play catch will make him straight. I mean, isn't Mike Piazza gay, and I am pretty sure he can "throw and catch a ball"....but his dad must not of shown him his penis enough.)

Okay, so what's my point? 1) I wanted to make fun of this idiot, because this is freaking hilarious. 2) I would like to remind everyone what goes on in the heads of the Republican "base." 3) I just want to point out that the extreme "liberal base" of the Democrats support such "wild" things as universal health care, independence from foreign oil, a women's right to an abortion, and bringing the troops home from Iraq.....they don't support showing off your penis to little kids.

Dobson/Republican Bonus:
How to discipline your child: "Pain is a marvelous purifier. . . It is not necessary to beat the child into submission; a little bit of pain goes a long way for a young child. However, the spanking should be of sufficient magnitude to cause the child to cry genuinely."

Finally, when you don't have time for a long, drawn out beating, Dobson recommends painful squeezing of the trapezius muscle on the neck to obtain "instant obedience." If you are lucky, evidently, you could put your kid in a comma by breaking the child's neck! You have to love those Republican values!
