What the Heck* is Wrong with These People???

First it was Jerry Falwell and Tinky Winky.

Now it's James Dobson and Spongebob Squarepants. According to the New York Times, this past Tuesday Dobson spoke at a pre-inaugural dinner attended by members of Congress and accused Spongebob of appearing in a "pro-homosexual video" being mailed to elementary schools that included a pledge for "tolerance for differences of sexual identity."

Jim, honey, Spongebob Squarepants is a cartoon.

Second, the creators of the video say it contains no such pledge. "The video has appeared on television networks, and nothing in it or its accompanying materials refers to sexual identity," reports the Times.

So first he's worried that children will be brainwashed into becoming gay zombies by a cartoon, and second, he doesn't even have his facts straight (pun intended) when he addresses members of Congress! How is anyone supposed to take people like this seriously? Either he's irresponsible, or he's simply lying.

I have news for you. It's this simple: if your children are gay, they're already gay, and they always have been. By going around and complaining about silly stuff like cartoons and disco songs, you're only hurting your own children and tearing apart your own family. (Not to mention making a complete ass of yourself.) And if your children are heterosexual -- and there's at least a 90% chance they are -- no video or anything else can sway them.

So...the country's $7.6 trillion in debt, we've lost a war against a country that didn't have any weapons to defend itself, our President has stolen at least one election, real terrorists are out there and we've done nothing to improve security here at home, 45 million Americans lack insurance, and he's worried about Spongebob Squarepants.

*Happy, mom?

Yes, but you should have capitalized the "m" in "mom."
Mom

This country is going to hell. It's been going that direction since 2000.

I really don't think Dobson has to worry. Are straight bars reporting catastrophic declines in business? Hookers filing for unemployment? Playboy cutting back the number of pages each month? Is the next Ben Affleck picture being re-written as a gay romance because no one's interested in Gwyneth/Angelina/Jennifer anymore?

They have the president. They control both houses of Congress. And yet conservatives continue to claim status of perpetual victimhood.
