Rooting for Dobson
Dr. Dobson's recent editorial is encouraging. Perhaps he will wind up being the world-historical counterbalance to Ralph Nader.I wonder if the Republicans are starting to question the wisdom of basing so much of their electoral strategy on a constituency made up of crazy people. Obviously, the religious right's insanity has been their greatest asset thus far, but it's the kind of thing that could really backfire. I'll bet that a lot of billionaires are in a panic looking for tax shelters right now -- if the religious right sticks to its guns like Dobson predicts, we might end up with a regime that views taxes as a potential source of revenue for funding social programs and maintaining our nation's infrastructure, rather than as the genocide-level injustice they really are.
