CIVIL WAR
No, not in Iraq but within the far-right fringe of American politics. Dobson vs. Armey. May they both lose. And, yes, there’s a homeschooling angle:
In his Web site statement, [Armey] wrote, “One of my proudest moments in Congress was beating the Democrat’s attempts to meddle in the affairs of families that had chosen to opt out of secular government education by home schooling their children. I took on the entire political establishment, but we only won because thousands of Christian home schoolers demanded that Congress keep its nose out of their decision to raise and educate their children as they saw fit.â€
Armey is right about that, but he has clearly forgotten that I collaborated with Mike Farris, co-founder of the Home School Legal Defense Association, in leading the fight for home schooling. Farris and I aired several passionate radio programs during that time which resulted in more than 1 million phone calls being made to Capitol Hill. The switchboard actually malfunctioned in the surge.
That was one of HSLDA’s infamous sheeple drives. I guess that makes Dobson a Good Sheeplherd.
