You've heard of Dr. Dobson, right? Writer of Christian books on how to raise family, teaching kids healthy sexuality and all that? My mom actually used one of his sex education series to teach me (and some neighbor kids, with their parents' permission) about menstruation, sex, etc. AndrewSullivan.com has an excerpt from Dobson's latest newsletter:

"Barring a miracle, the family as it has been known for more than five millennia will crumble, presaging the fall of Western civilization itself. This is a time for concerted prayer, divine wisdom and greater courage than we have ever been called upon to exercise. For more than 40 years, the homosexual activist movement has sought to implement a master plan that has had as its centerpiece the utter destruction of the family. The institution of marriage, along with an often weakened and impotent Church, is all that stands in the way of its achievement of every coveted aspiration. Those goals include universal acceptance of the gay lifestyle, discrediting of Scriptures that condemn homosexuality, muzzling of the clergy and Christian media, granting of special privileges and rights in the law, overturning laws prohibiting pedophilia, indoctrinating children and future generations through public education, and securing all the legal benefits of marriage for any two or more people who claim to have homosexual tendencies." - James Dobson.

I don't remember Dobson's books being this nuts. All I really remember from our home sex ed course was Mom dropping a tampon into a bowl of water to demonstrate its absorbent properties, and all of us girls gasping in horror at the thought of having something the size of a Ho-Ho stuck up in there.

The idea that the clergy and Christian media are "muzzled" -- well, that just beats all. Everyone knows that the media nowadays is pay for play, and Christian dollars are as green as anyone else's.
