Dobson cries about culture war defeats. "We are awash in evil and the battle is still to be waged."
DOBSON POINTS TO CULTURE WAR DEFEAT.... James Dobson delivered a farewell speech to the Focus on the Family staff, and conceded that the culture war he helped start hasn't turned out well for the agents of intolerance. Indeed, Dobson almost sounded resigned to defeat.

James Dobson, 72, who resigned recently as head of Focus on the Family -- one of the largest Christian groups in the country -- and once denounced the Harry Potter books as witchcraft, acknowledged the dramatic reverse for the religious Right in a farewell speech to staff.

"We tried to defend the unborn child, the dignity of the family, but it was a holding action," he said.

"We are awash in evil and the battle is still to be waged. We are right now in the most discouraging period of that long conflict. Humanly speaking, we can say we have lost all those battles."

2. He's right about us being awash in evil
But the good news is that he and the rest of the evil gang are in retreat, at least for now.

3. He's right
And until he's reached the Final Defeat, we'll keep fighting all that evil.

4. ...and may your minions lose the rest of the "wars", you meddling
old Fascist. Go and live in some other place that is ignorant and backwards enough to accept the swill you peddle.

Oh, wait - you're already in Colorado Springs!

5. A cheerful story for Easter Sunday, Thanks.
It might be appropriate to say goodbye, Dr. Dobson, and don't let the door hit ya where the Good Lord split ya.

7. Lost, because you project your own evil onto others and attack them rather than do something about
the one thing you can actually do something about, yourself.

You judge the evil of others as worse than your own and justifying your persecution of them, thus, your own flaws continue unabated and even rewarded, while other people's errors are aggravated by your persecution of them.

16. You see, he should have known better. The world was supposed to get worse before the end
And since he feels the end is near he was fighting against what god said would be.

Jeebus.
