Dobson's values aren't family values (LTTE)

[struggle4progress]

As an ordained member of the clergy, I read with great interest James Dobson's suggestion that Minnesotans vote for family values (Star Tribune, Oct. 4). I certainly agree.

With the Republicans controlling the House, Senate and the White House for much of the past six years, we have benefited from efforts to legislate the support of torture, spy on U.S. citizens, allow Vice President Dick Cheney's Halliburton to rip off billions of tax dollars, eviscerate our environmental protections, spurn the survivors of Katrina, demonize healthy dissent, discredit the intelligence reports from our own agencies, and support the clandestine operation of hidden prison camps that are definitely a reflection of values that most Minnesotans reject.

Those who support tax cuts for the wealthiest 1 percent of Americans while cutting student aid, housing for the homeless, education programs for children with special needs, and veterans benefits certainly are violating true family values.

Those who formulate lies to send our sons and daughters to war are not living a moral life. Those who cover up corruption and deception on such a massive scale are not following the way of Jesus Christ ...

1. Thank you.

You are what I want my fellow Christians to be. God bless you for your faith and for your stand against the corruption oozing unfettered from Dobson and crowd.

Blessings.

3. Not my LTTE -- but a good one, I think.

2. Great job! The needy "need" people who will speak out for them

This administration offers support for the rich at the expense to societal needs.
