Focus on the Mullahs

There goes that liberal media again, running ads by the spokesperson for the American Taliban, after rejecting ads from a church that promotes tolerance and acceptance of (gasp!) homosexuals.

This is the basis of Dobson's child rearing advice. He thinks of children as animals and he believes that animals and children should be beaten. He believes that nine month old babies should be switched on the bare legs. He believes they should be pinched hard, on the neck, so it will hurt. He believes in things that could get parents arrested in many states in the union.

Yet his program is considered to be more wholesome and less controversial than a church that allows gays to be a member.

Obviously, you can't run an ad from a church that would ACCEPT HOMOSEXUALS as members. However, you can run one courtesy of a psychopath that thinks you need to "break your child's will" like it was an animal, through the use of violence, endorsing hitting a 9 month old with a switch. Hard to believe?

Here are the quotes:

• 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."
  • From Dare to Discipline, pages 6 and 7

• "Some strong-willed children absolutely demand to be spanked, and their wishes should be granted. . . [T]wo or three stinging strokes on the legs or buttocks with a switch are usually sufficient to emphasize the point, 'You must obey me.'"
  • From The Strong-Willed Child, pp. 53-4.

Now who is the real threat here? Strong-willed children, churches that accept homosexuals, or child abuse promoter, Mullah Dobson.

Anyone with any common sense knows that the moment you strike a child, you are the one that has lost control. All you are teaching them is to use violence to resolve conflict and to blindly submit to power and authority.

Apparently, in ABC's world, a church that accepts 2 dudes kissing is worse than a "Christian" organization that tells you it's o.k., even necessary, to hit your kids.
