James Dobson, the founder of the Colorado Springs-based Focus on the Family Christian ministry, warned today that there is “utter evil” coming out of Washington, D.C., these days.
“I want to tell our listeners something has come up that is so shocking and so outrageous, we must make our friends out there aware of it,” he said on his daily radio program.
“I’m going to speak very bluntly today because there’s no other word for it: the utter evil that’s coming out of Congress,” he said. “I’ve been on the air 32 years and I’ve never seen a time quite like this.
“The radical left controls the executive branch through the president, and the Congress where the Democrats have control of both the House and the Senate,” he said, adding the courts are expected to move even further to the left.
The target of his worry is the so-called “hate crimes” bill already approved in the U.S. House and now pending in the Senate.
A hearing on the Local Law Enforcement Hate Crimes Prevention Act, already approved by the U.S. House as H.R. 1913 and pending in the Senate as S. 909, is expected in the Senate Judiciary Committee soon. It’s been described by Shawn D. Akers, policy analyst with Liberty Counsel, as a bill to create penalties against “victims” who were chosen based on an “actual or perceived … sexual orientation, gender identity.”
Many have dubbed it the “Pedophile Protection Act,” and Reps. Louis Gohmert, R-Texas, and Steve King, R-Iowa, explained on Dobson’s program how they tried to have majority Democrats in Congress define “sexual orientation” in the bill – and were refused.
