Yes, we can.

It's like when Sharpton or Jackson is presumed to speak for the black constituency, or some spokesperson from NOW is presumed to speak for all women, or someone from CAIR is presumed to speak for all Muslims.

By the way, you may not like Dobson, and that's cool, but his book about raising boys is freakin' right on the money.

Nope. The man has absolutely no credibility in my book. The guy is a hate monger.

Hold on a moment. I have more to say about this comment.
Dobson believes in Conversion Therapy, that through counseling or prayer someone can switch from being gay to straight. The man was a psychologist, yet a majority in the mental health field disagree with his thinking.
In "Bringing Up Boys" he says:

Quote:

"Homosexuals deeply resent being told that they selected this same-sex inclination in pursuit of sexual excitement or some other motive."

I'm sorry, but I would not want my son being misinformed by Dobson.

The Dobson run Focus on the Family website has a store where you can buy books on Conversion Therapy called "Leaving the Lifestyle". I was forced to go through a Conversion Therapy process as a teen. Since this is what my parents wanted, I decided to willingly give it a shot. It doesn't work.
