Quote of the day

“If I believed in God, I’d be tempted to thank him for James Dobson…

In a way, people like Mr. Dobson and Mr. Scarborough are merely remaining true to the precepts of their beliefs. They are fundamentalists and proud of it. As is the case with all fundamentalists, they prefer the pursuit of complete victory to anything that carries the odor of compromise.

Mercifully, political progress still depends on things like argument, persuasion and conciliation. Advances tend to come by the inch, not by the mile.

Mr. Dobson and his comrades do not want to sully themselves with that. They have instead fashioned a plan for their own electoral suicide.

Good for them. I hope nothing gets in their way.”
