On the King of Pain...

[Slightly edited October 19]. About one of the effects of child-rearing techniques read “The King of Pain, Chapter 6 of Republican Gomorrah” by Max Blumenthal, 2009, Nation Books, NY.

And more on James Dobson, with his “Focus on the Family”.

Also read "Passion and Purpose for Parents in every season" , “James Dobson: Focusing on Himself-

How James Dobson, leader of Focus on the Family, sets himself up as the moral authority of the nation -- taken from his own words and from other media reports" by Brian Elroy McKinley: “Move over George Washington. James Dobson, founder of Focus on the Family, wants to take your place as father of our country. But rather than being a true father -- one who helps us mature into individuals -- he is little more than another Pharisee, setting himself up as a religiously-based political dictator bent on getting us to support his personal view of legislated morality. And what's even worse, Dobson goes to great length to use Scripture to support his view, and yet according to Time magazine he doesn't even have any formal theological training. In short, Dobson, using his position as a radio psychologist, has set himself up as our moral authority and asks us all to blindly follow.” See quotations by James Dobson.
