Agelbert NOTE: There is a special place in Hell for world class hypocrites like "Dr." James Dobson, who once fooled me into believing he was a brother in Christ.

WHEN THEN-PRESIDENT Bill Clinton lied in 1998 about an affair with White House intern Monica Lewinsky, Christian extremist James Dobson  declared it was “foolish to believe that a person who lacks honesty and moral integrity is qualified to lead a nation and the world!” Under Clinton, Dobson, founder of Focus on the Family, warned that America was facing “a profound moral crisis.”

Fast-forward two decades. We’re chest deep in a profound moral crisis, and every other kind of crisis you dare imagine. Yet, like most of his fellow evangelicals, Dobson is as silent as a church mouse about the White House’s current occupant, a man who breaks at least three of the Ten Commandments every day.




With his multiple marriages and affairs, penchant for grandiose lies, and general indifference to normal adult behavior, President Trump should represent what white evangelicals claim to despise.

Instead, he received 81 percent of their vote, and their support is unfailing.

It’s easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than to find any evangelical handwringing about whether Trump’s moral turpitude renders him unfit to govern.
