This Is Wrong On So Many Levels

While James Dobson and Rick Santorum and others on the Christian Right are so very, very busy defending "family values" from the "sodomites" and Darwinists, the administration that they support (and were once a part of--sorry about that resounding defeat in the last election, Rick) has overseen the slide of the welfare of our children to the lowest of the 21 rich countries surveyed by UNICEF.

While the Christian Right obsesses about the attack on Christian values (as evidenced by Mary Cheney's pregnancy), a 12-year old Maryland boy dies of a toothache. The bacteria from the abcess in his tooth invaded his brain. After almost $250,000 in emergency hospital care, Deamonte Driver passed away on Sunday. His death could have been avoided by an $80.00 tooth pulling.

Dr. Dobson, wouldn't some of the $137,848,520 (2004 Focus on the Family revenue) that your ministry makes each year be better spent helping the poor and destitute in our country? Or is Leviticus 18:22 more important than Jesus teaching ("Whatever you do unto the least of these, you do unto me.")?

It's time to take back our country and our values from the so-called Christians and show the rest of the world what Jesus really meant.
