James Dobson, who once did some good work on families but now is little more than a Republican political operative, has weighed in on Fred Thompson, who at least can play a president on TV. Thompson, according to Dobson, is not “open” about his Christian faith, so he clearly is not fit to be President of the United States.

You see, Dobson approves of George W. Bush and his war in Iraq. Last year, Dobson’s political magazine Citizen praised this immoral war as a “noble cause.” The guy also is a champion of the Drug War and anything else the government does to destroy civil liberties.

Now, I doubt I will vote for Fred Thompson or anyone else, save Ron Paul. Interestingly, I will bet that Dobson will be absolutely against Paul, since Ron would not support Dobson’s pet causes of “Faith-Based Initiatives” (welfare for churches) or the various wars the government gives us, whether domestic or foreign. And, from what I can tell, unless one signs on to support these destructions of liberty, one cannot be a “Christian” in Dobson’s eyes.
