I hated the late Dr. James Dobson for his homophobia, misogyny, and Christian Nationalism. However, we agreed on exactly one thing. Laughter. #Dobson

Hemant Mehta’s obituary for James #Dobson is 🧑‍🍳💋

https://www.friendlyatheist.com/p/james-dobson-an-architect-of-evangelical

My parents had his books, and we listened to his radio program in the 80s.

“His legacy can be found in estranged families, the self-loathing of those who survived his teachings, and in a political landscape warped by his toxic theology.”

He screwed up a lot of people and is the reason many of us don’t talk to our parents anymore. #JamesDobson #Exvangelical

Perfect.
I wish hell existed, just for people like that monster.

Seriously, nobody fucking cares about #dobson #foxnews is the only outlet who is gushing on him, and they're even doing it all that well. It's not on their front-page. But look and the picture they choose of Bush Jr sitting beside the fucker looking like "yeah, I should have taken that other hit acid for this shit" He looks bored out of his damned skull. Like this is it. Fox and his family are the only two who wrote obits. Now go google #bettywhite https://www.foxnews.com/us/dr-james-dobson-focus-family-founder-advisor-5-presidents-dead-89

Fucking GOOD! Focus on your own goddamned family, asshole #news #dobson #christianity https://www.npr.org/2025/08/21/nx-s1-5509575/focus-on-the-family-founder-james-dobson-dies-at-89

James #Dobson is dead.

May his legacy not be far behind!

@coloradosun
And now he gets to spend eternity Focused on the Devil. #Dobson

Rumor mill is swirling that Islanders will trade Dobson. Thus far personally I’ve heard nothing. Personally concern stems from the 11 million dollar asking price. 70 points every season ? Sure! But I don’t think that’s Dobsons future. I don’t see why a “prove it” bridge deal isn’t viable.

Inside #Ziklag, the Secret Organization of Wealthy Christians Trying to Sway the Election and Change the Country

#Christian #nationalists #Kirk #Montgomery #Barton #Green #Dallas #McEwen #Wommack #Wallnau #Boebert #Guandolo #Green #Joyner #Gohmert #Bannon #Conway #Alexander #Kirk #Thomas #Mitchell #Dallas #Perkins #Reed #Flynn #Perkins #Reed #Plaats #Dobson

Year in and year out, #Christian #nationalists strategize and organize via a seemingly never-ending stream of
conferences, trainings, and other offerings conducted or provided by influential Christian political nonprofits such as:

♦️Turning Point USA (TPUSA), an extremist student group co-founded by Charlie #Kirk and Bill #Montgomery, who died of COVID-19 complications. TPUSA’s specialty is training students to harass “liberal” professors and public school boards. It partners with far right propagandist Jack Posobiec, who is infamous for his viral propaganda campaigns, including the “groomers” campaign launched against Disney after it withdrew support for Florida Governor Ron DeSantis’s “Don’t Say Gay” bill.  Kirk hopes to open his own network of private Christian academies across the country. 

♦️Wallbuilders, a nonprofit founded by pseudo-historian David #Barton, a leading opponentof the separation between church and state. Barton–who offers “biblical citizenship training” with ♦️Patriot Academy founder Rick #Green–also promotes the militant “black robe regiment” movement and wrote a book about it. 

♦️United in Purpose (UIP), a Christian data targeting firm founded by convicted embezzler Bill #Dallas. UIP’s board has included David Barton and former congressman Bob #McEwen. UIP was involved in a massive voter data breach in 2015, as we previously reported. In or around 2020, UIP formed a group called♦️ Ziklag, which pairs wealthy Christian donors with Christian political projects and organizations. UIP also launched a website called EveryLegalVote.com, which promoted “Stop the Steal” rallies and related “action items,” although UIP’s name was removed from the website soon after it launched.

♦️Truth and Liberty Coalition, which focuses on taking over public school boards in Colorado and beyond. The nonprofit is led by Andrew #Wommack who owns the Charis Bible College franchise and has said that members of the LGBTQ community should wear warning labels on their foreheads. Truth and Liberty’s board of directors includes Wallbuilders founder David Barton and NAR leader Lance #Wallnau, who has said that we must “destroy the public education system before it destroys America,” as reported in Elle Hardy’s book 🔹Beyond Belief: How Pentecostal Christianity is Taking Over the World. 🔹Truth and Liberty’s website includes a list of “influencers” that includes Rep. Lauren #Boebert (R-CO). 
Truth and Liberty has worked with John #Guandolo of Understanding the Threat. Guandolo is a disgraced former FBI agent and anti-Muslim activist.  As first reported by Right Wing Watch, Guandalo “has begun offering training sessions for right-wing citizens on how to take over their towns, arrest their mayors, and destroy the lives of anyone who objects by publicly humiliating them, getting them fired…, and forcing them to move.” 

♦️Patriot Academy founded by Rick #Green. The organization partners with David Barton (of Wallbuilders) in providing “biblical citizenship training.”

♦️The Oak Initiative founded by Rick #Joyner who advocated a military coup against Obama in 2013 or 2014. Rep. Louie #Gohmert (R-TX) attended one of their summits virtually in 2015. NAR leaders Lance Wallnau and Cindy Jacobs are on the board.

♦️The Council for National Policy, a secretive umbrella and strategy group for billionaires and the leaders of most prominent Christian Right organizations. Steve #Bannon, KellyAnne #Conway, Ali #Alexander, Charlie #Kirk, Ginni #Thomas, Cleta #Mitchell, Bill #Dallas, Tony #Perkins, and Ralph #Reed have all been members. Michael #Flynn has been involved with them too.

♦️The Family Research Council founded by Tony #Perkins, which hosts the influential 🔸Pray Vote Stand Summit 🔸(previously the Values Voter Summit) and a pastors roundtable called 🔸“Watchmen on the Wall.”

♦️The Faith and Freedom Coalition (FFC) founded by Ralph #Reed. FFC’s website says that FFC knocked on more than 8 million doors before the midterm election and held its annual 🔸Road to Majority Policy🔸 conference in June this year. Its website says the conference “equips attendees with the knowledge and connections they need to drive engagement and voter turnout. The June 2022 gathering accelerated conservatives further down the road to majority ahead of the 2022 midterm elections.”

♦️The Family Leader, which held a Family Leadership summit in July this year. Its president and CEO is Bob Vander #Plaats. Its website called its annual summit the “Midwest’s biggest gathering of Christians seeking cultural transformation in the family, church, government and more.” 

♦️Focus on the Family, the
♦️Family Institute, and the
♦️Dobson Policy Center founded by James #Dobson. Focus on the Family has offices and partnerships around the world. Focus on the Family and Family Research Center helped craft and promote the bill that recently made Arkansas the first state to ban gender-affirming care for minors,
