Raising Boys review that Amazon wouldn't post

I decided to post this review I made on Amazon because Amazon did not post it. I can kind of understand why as my intent to write a book review sort of turned into a personal Blog. So I'm putting it on my blog.

Here it is:

Bottom line, if you’re an evangelical Christian who believes in the inerrant word of God (The Bible) as a guide to live your life and raise your kids, you will agree and be inspired by everything Dobson writes in this book. If you are a flaming liberal or "luke warm" "claim to be" “lip service only” Christian that has joined the ranks of folks who have invented their own "easy" and "PC" version of Christianity, you will most likely hate it and post comments like all of the rest who voted less that 4 stars. Bottom line, there is a large movement of men and women who are completely disgusted with what the public schools, the 60's, and the militant feminists, left us in the way of a country following FDR. Except in the most extreme cases, Christians sat by quietly and let this country go straight to the sewer being content as long as we still had the pledge, Christmas and Sunday mornings. Most thought, ah...let the hippies (now, ex-hippies turned yuppies breaking their own ideological rules. Yippies?) smoke their grass and run around naked in the mud as long as they leave us alone. Unfortunately, the militant homosexuals and feminists didn’t stop there. Dobson knew this long ago, he was there, as did many other respectable leaders in our Country, but it was too little and too late to stop the countries decent into the abyss of the “progressive freethinker.” Fortunately, (I say that painfully) the liberals decided to push forward much more aggressively than strategically prudent.

What am I talking about? Had it not for the liberals crossing the line to the point even agnostics have noticed, (I say agnostic because atheism is a logical fallacy) the wake up call may have never sounded and Dobson may have not seen the need to create “Focus on the family” when he did and write books such as this. The funny thing is the very reasons that made the neo-progressives so vigilant in their cause, has now brought the sleeping and near silent followers of Christ, back to life and ready to take back this country. Thank you (Liberals) for making us understand what it feels like to be a minority and have every thing important start to be taken away, one by one, simply because of who we are and what we believe. Thank you for making discrimination against followers of Christ not only acceptable but politically correct. It is what was needed. Finally, thank you Dr. Dobson, for giving us tools to train our sons in becoming the kind of men that will be able to carry the torch and take back this country for Christ, before it’s too late. If it isn’t already. All of you who didn’t like this book, you might use a little thing call "research" when buying books and make sure you don’t venture beyond bubble of "there is NOOO right or wrong" or "Jimmy, it’s how it makes you feel that is important" mentality before making a purchase. I mean, heck, Dobson is a follower of Christ and believes in the truth of scripture, what did you think you would find? Advise on how to teach condom use to your 5 year old? The country has become worse that Sodom and Gomorrah ever were and we are seeing the results of this. Yes, God is love, God is Merciful, but God by his very nature cannot allow unrepentant sinners to go on unpunished because he is sinless and JUST.

Keep up the good work Dr. Dobson, there are some of us out there who are striving to be the leaders of our homes and country.
