Weak Fathers

Dobson prefers his electorate nauseated by the noxious fumes of the windbag. He's opined that homosexuality results from a weak father figure–who knew Dick Cheney was such a softy?–and that, if caught early, can be "cured." Dobson also endorses corporal punishment for children. "By learning to yield to the loving authority … of his parents," he writes, "a child learns to submit to the other forms of authority which will confront him later in life." In other words, hit �em while they're young and they'll suffer your sermons all life long.
