Dobson's Last Stand?
The silly "Defense of Marriage" Amendment got clobbered in the Senate like Custer did at the Little Big Horn. Was it James Dobson's Last Stand?
Well, no, certainly not -- but if the Dems gain ground in Congress this fall, it might've been the *best* stand Dobson can expect for the foreseeable future.
This is one of those cases, I think, where political checks and balances and the labyrinth of the constitution-making process is doing just what it's supposed to do: slow down rash judgment, and cool down overheated feelings.
Read Dobson's analysis of the vote, and the larger political situation, here. It's a piece he wrote for eeeviilll CNN. The gall it takes for him to compare what essentially is an anti-freedom stance with William Wilberforce's work to end slavery is astounding.
A kudo to Focus on the Family for actually linking to the original, since it includes both positive and negative comments from CNN readers.

Here's what's likely, boys:
Elections will happen. Republicans will be pissed at the results. Democrats will be pissed at the results.
More fighting and silly other stuff. Bipartisan talk will abound. I'll giggle at the affair of it all.
My prediction for the November elections: Some will cry. Some will pout. Santa Clause will be confused come Christmas.

If we can outlaw flag burning in our Constitution.
If we can outlaw gay couples having legal status in our Constitution.
We can outlaw cruelity to animals in our constitution.
Bye Bye Rodeo.
It is always time to pay attention and vote on the principle instead of the emotion.
