If we're going to start lynching Christians, can we start with tobyMac?
Focus on the Family's James Dobson plays the 'victim' card:
Chief Justice Roy Moore (search), who installed the 5,280-pound monument, said he was skipping the rally, the largest yet of the weeklong vigil, because he doesn't want supporters to make the fight about him rather than about the public acknowledgment of God the monument in the rotunda represented.
"I don't want people to lose sight of what this is about," Moore said. "What this issue is about is the acknowledgment of God and that issue has never been decided."
Christian evangelist and national radio talk show host Dr. James Dobson (search) led the rally instead.
"I came here to make a statement about what we all believe. We're in a great moral struggle of our own. It can be said that people of faith are being sent to the back of the bus -- and we're not gonna go there," Dobson said, comparing the struggle to that of Rosa Parks (search), which also took place in Montgomery.
I see that we have dropped the bar of oppression so low that you can't even slip an epistle under it. Dobson was also going to comment that he was "tired of being kept down by the man" until it was pointed out that he was the man...
And haven't we really heard a bit more about Alabama in the last few weeks than we really need to? I mean, c'mon...it's Alabama. We only allow them to remain a part of the Union to make Mississippi feel better about itself....
