Dobson Meets With Bolton To Set UN Policy

During the debate on John R. Bolton's nomination as US ambassador to the UN, I was a little dismayed about the lack of attention devoted to his long and troubling history of collaboration with Christian right interest groups to, for instance, restrict condom distribution in developing nations. Now that Bolton has been installed in the UN by Bush, his so-called "reform" agenda will undoubtedly include a host of reactionary Christian right social policies. A disturbing reflection of Bolton's plans was provided by James Dobson in today's Focus on the Family broadcast, in which he and FoF President Jim Daly described a private, hour-long meeting they and a group of FoF staffers recently held with Bolton in New York.

Here are key portions of Dobson and Daly's discussion of their meeting with Bolton:

JIM DALY: He's a good man. I mean, everything we saw of him in that almost hour we met with him...he's just a solid pro-life gentleman and uh, certainly more meek than what the Democrats portrayed. He's a nice guy.

(....)

JAMES DOBSON: But we had an opportunity to talk to him about the possibilty of Focus on the Family working with the United Nations. That really did excite me.

DALY: Absolutely. I think what came across in the meeting is that he is pro-life and pro-family and he gave us an invitation to work with him in setting some policy there at the UN that would support the values we believe in.

DOBSON: Now we're finding out why the Democrats didn't want him...

DALY: It had nothing to do...

DOBSON: He's pro-life, pro-family, pro-morality and sees things the way we do regarding condom distribution and abstinence and other things.

Plato's Retreat.

I remember the ads on TV during "midnight blue". :P

The fundies have, through the GOP, taken over our goverment (for now...) and now they want to do the same with the UN.

I'm so sick of these people, I don't even know what to say right now.

He seems to be a lot more powerful than he should be.

Heaven knows he must know it's total crap. :eyes:

They don't seem to care.

He better be ready for some hearings.He keeps bragging about these contacts he has,hopefully its going to bite him in the ass soon enough.

bedroom.

religiously insane Dobson is the enemy.

He gets happy when thinking people to pay attention to him. So we should ignore him. Let him wallow in right wing land.

bushgang make policy.

have had such access to government officials as they seem to have these days? I know that some high profile preachers, such as Billy Graham, have visited the White House before, but I don't remember so much emphasis on meetings such as the one described in this article.
