Recently Focus on the Family, arguably America’s most ignorant source of political activism and far right propoganda wrote a letter from the future back to the present, to warn of what President Elect Barack Obama’s years in office would lead to. It can be found here. Focus on the family should live up to their name and just focus on the family. Dr. James Dobson and his cohorts are experts in child development and family dynamics, but when it comes to politics or social structures they are ignorant and all to eager to share their misinformed view, and be covered under the protection that they are christians, and if you don’t agree with them, chances are you are not a christian, and you’ll burn in hell.
In this letter the following information is said will happen under the Obama administration
- The Supreme court leans liberal, 6 to 3.
- Terrorist attacks have occurred in 4 US cities.
- Christian doctors, nurses, counselors, and teachers have either been fired or quit.
- Iran perpetrated a nuclear attack on Israel, drastically reducing the size of its borders.
- Pornography is freely displayed.
- Inner city violent crime has dramatically increased due to gun control.
- Russia has occupied 4 additional countries.
- Gas tops $7 a gallon.
- Euthanasia becomes commonplace.
- Blackouts occur throughout the country.
- Homosexual marriage becomes law in all 50 states.
- Campus ministries, Christian adoption agencies and Christian schools nearly cease to exist.
- Home school families emigrate to Australia and New Zealand by the thousands.
- Bush officials are jailed and bankrupt.
- Taliban-like oppression overtakes Iraq and death of American sympathizers reaches millions.
- Homosexuals are given a bonus to enlist in the military.
Interesting facts of this are, President Bush the poster child for focus on the family politics (ignorance and idiocy) was the first president to fall victim to a large scale domestic terrorist attack since Franklin D. Roosevelt in 1941, so I doubt Barack Obama will have any domestic terrorism to worry about.
The George Bush Administration sat back and watched as gas went from $29 a barrel the day we invaded Iraq to somewhere near the $170 mark at the height of this summer. Since the campaigning started in full force and Obama took control of the polls, gas has been steadily declining to somewhere in the neighborhood of high $30’s low $40’s a barrel, under the inflation percentage of a stamp.
The Part about Russia occupying four different countries is what makes me laugh the hardest, it seemed America occupied four countries under the Bush Admnistration, but that’s okay right? WE’RE AMERICA AND WE DO WHAT WE WANT! But seriously, why is it alright that America occupies countries against their will but when someone else does it we get all up in arms?
If I didn’t know better, and was as ignorant as Focus on the Family, I’d say this letter easily could have been written from the year 2008, just with a few wrong facts..
To my reader: Please don’t view focus on the family’s opinions as those of christians, but rather as that dumb kid in highschool who only listened to what his neo-conservative parents said instead of forming their own opinion. The true gospel of Christ is one of love, and not one of dissention.
In that spirit love your neighbor today, go out of your way to make someone’s day special.
