Obama better run from this fight

I admit that I've been swayed by several of the persuasive points Sen. Obama has made throughout his campaign. I also admit that I don't like the way that James Dobson of Focus on the Family usually presents his political points. However, this article should give great concern to Obama, his campaign, and his followers.

Obama, in the remarks listed in the article, is clearly wrong in his theological assertions. Dobson is not someone to mess with when it comes to that.

As a Christian first, when I look at this flawed interpretation of the Bible, I have a hard time convincing myself to vote for him.

Discuss. Comment.

So...How Many Times Have You Called Someone a Retard?

I've done it so many times I can't count.

Let me be clear, this isn't a post to condemn. It's meant to be a post to make you stop just for a sec and think about the weight your words have. My son, pictured above, is getting ready to enter Kindergarten in a few short months. How long will it be before the kids aren't as nice to him as they are now? How long before he's called a retard behind his back or to his face all because he walks with crutches and is different than his peers?

The Special Olympics of Virginia kicks off their summer games tonight. They also have an awesome iniative that is creating awareness about the "R" Word.

Please click here to give to go to my personalize Special Olympics donation page. I've committed to raising $100 for them. Help me out here Internets...please.

Feel free to also leave comments on your thoughts about the use of "retard" and whether you think it's offensive.
