As I have stated many times, I think James Dobson is good at what he does, family psychology. But he's awful at politics. His recent comments comparing the Supreme Court to the KKK is another example of why this man should stick to what he knows. It's about 22 minutes into the address when the statements comes and there's just no reason for it. Dobson should not be a leading spokesperson for Christians in politics. The Christian movement really needs to come to terms with comments that Dobson, Falwell, and Robinson continue to make. These men might be great spiritual people, but their public personas are harmful to the Christian image.
Even worse, each of them accepts this as proof that they're following Christ. They assume that Christ's words are true of them when he said that we would be hated and mocked as he was. But there's a difference between being hated and mocked for saying stupid things and being hated and mocked for standing up for the truth of the Gospel. These men, I'm sure, have the best intentions. But we know where good intentions lead without wisdom and counsel. And it honestly seems that these men have not been receiving much counsel of late before they speak publicly. It's time to return some accountability to our leadership within the Christian realm.
