Focus on the Family

Core group in the Anti-American Terrorist Movement

Focus on the Family (FOF) is the largest international religious-right group in the United States, a multi-media empire that includes its own “campus” and zip code in Colorado Springs, Colorado.

Created in 1977 by Dr James Dobson, a fundamentalist cut from the same cloth as Pat Robertson and Jerry Faldwell, Dobson, along with R. Albert Mohler Jr ( President of The Southern Baptist Theological Seminary, Louisville, Kentucky) seek to distroy Democracy in America and replace it with a Fundamentalist Theocracy, Church ruled state.

Examples of Dobson's extreme positions include:

* Dobson's magazine issued a scathing attack on the Girl Scouts in 1994, insisting they had "lost their way," after the group made a religious oath optional for membership. He added that the Girl Scouts are "pushing a philosophy - a philosophy that includes humanism and radical feminism."

* Dobson attacked use of the word "tolerance" in 1996. He insisted that it has a "double meaning" and can be misconstrued by those "who reject the concept of right and wrong." He concluded that tolerance is "kind of a desensitization to evil of all varieties. Everything has become acceptable to those who are tolerant."

* Dobson wants to criminalize all abortions, even in cases of rape or incest. Referring to women impregnated by rapists, Dobson concluded, "What is right and moral for the unborn child is ultimately best for the mother and father, too."

Quotes from Dr. James Dobson:

In response to 9/11: “Question: Has God withdrawn His protective hand from the US?”

James Dobson responds: “Christians have made arguments on both sides of this question. I certainly believe that God is displeased with America for its pride and arrogance, for killing 40 million unborn babies, for the universality of profanity and for other forms of immorality. However, rather than trying to forge a direct cause-and-effect relationship between the terrorist attacks and America’s abandonment of biblical principles, which I think is wrong, we need to accept the truth that this nation will suffer in many ways for departing from the principles of righteousness. "The wages of sin is death," as it says in Romans 6, both for individuals and for entire cultures. ” (FOF website, http://www.family.org/docstudy/excerpts/A0018615.html)

“[The homosexual] agenda includes teaching prohomosexual [sic] concepts in the public schools, redefining the family to represent "any circle of people who love each other," approval of homosexual adoption, legitimizing same-sex marriage, and securing special rights for those who identify themselves as gay. Those ideas must be opposed, even though to do so is to expose oneself to the charge of being "homophobic." (“Complete Marriage and Family Home Reference Guide,” by James Dobson.)

"Does the Republican Party want our votes, no strings attached--to court us every two years, and then to say, 'Don't call me; I'll call you'--and to not care about the moral law of the universe?...Is that what they want? Is that the way the system works? Is this the way it's going to be? If it is, I'm gone, and if I go, I will do everything I can to take as many people with me as possible."
