Focus on the Mullahs, Pt. 2

Shame on the Super Nanny. With her non-violent techniques for discipline like boundaries, consistency, and communication, she'll never raise a proper authoritarian adult who respects the patriarchical order of our Christian society.

If they had taken Dobson's advice, however, they would right now be indulging in child abuse instead of patience, discipline and understanding. His view is that children must be taught to obey because they must observe the hierarchy of the family which means that father, then mother are always to be obeyed without question. The point is not to raise happy, healthy people, but oppressed, subservient kids who turn into rigid authoritarian adults. He is in the business of creating Nazis, not normal human beings.

I pity the many poor little children who are going to be subjected to Dobson's torture after their desperate parents saw that slick ad last night and called the FOF number. Those parents are going to learn that they are justified in being angry at their children and that violence is the proper way to express that anger, "for the good of their child."

And I pity the country that takes another step back into the dark ages when torture was considered acceptable. We are now one of the torture cultures. That's quite an achievement.

Daddy's only doing this for your own good. You must feel some physical and emotional pain when you disobey daddy. I'm doing this so you'll learn that you needn't burden yourself with thinking for yourself or questioning authority, any authority, whether it's your priest, preacher or mullah, your daddy, your husband, or your President.

You can trust them. They all know what's best for you.

Just do what you're told.
