Of Benghazi and Dobson
No one I know would link Focus on the Family founder Dr. James Dobson with the Administration’s cover up over four Americans dying in a terrorist attack on the US Embassy in Benghazi, Libya September 11, 2012. Dobson’s is an example for all Americans that should be exercised at every opportunity. The first Thursday of May Christians gather from across the country to pray for our nation. It’s called The National Day of Prayer. While the National Day of Prayer was taking place, the media, members of Congress and henchmen of the occupant of the Oval Office were embroiled in a war of words over the Administration’s lies and coverup of what happened in Benghazi. But what does Dr. Dobson have to do with it?
The news media and Congressmen were catching members of the Administration in lie after lie, especially with the condemning testimony of military personnel confirming that they knew Benghazi was a terrorist attack at the earliest possible stages, 3:00 am during the attack. Yet the Administration, including the president himself, continued to lie to the world that the attacks were the result of a spontaneous demonstration over an offensive video for well into two weeks afterwards. Retired Air Force Brigadier General Robert Lovell told the House Oversight Committee, “This was no demonstration gone terrible awry.” The Administration’s lies are not in dispute. What is in dispute is why they lied.
Across the way, another gathering was taking place on Capital Hill–the National Day of Prayer. A Founder of the event, Dr. Dobson spoke of how this current president is the “abortion president.” And how he was trying to force Dobson’s Family Talk ministry into paying for abortion through socialist healthcare. Dobson took the Administration to court and won. WND reported that Dobson recalled his thinking: “I believe in the rule of law, and it has been my practice since I was in college to respect and honor those in authority over us. It is my desire to do so now. However, this assault on the sanctity of human life takes me where I cannot go.”
He continued: “I WILL NOT pay the surcharge for abortion services. The amount of the surcharge is irrelevant. To pay one cent for the killing of babies is egregious to me, and I will do all I can to correct a government that lies to me about its intentions and then tries to coerce my acquiescence with extortion. It would be a violation of my most deeply held convictions to disobey what I consider to be the principles in Scripture. The Creator will not hold us guiltless if we turn a deaf ear to the cries of His innocent babies. So come and get me if you must, Mr. President. I will not bow before your wicked regulation.” The link between Dobson and Benghazi is the Administration, which lies to cover the deaths of many.
The president lied about the Affordable Care Act to cover up his plan to redistribute wealth, and promote abortion and homosexuality at taxpayer expense. The Administration is lying about Benghazi to cover up something else. Dobson has called the president out on his lying tongue. He did so straightforwardly and powerfully, saying “It would be a violation of my most deeply held convictions to disobey what I consider to be the principles in Scripture.” You see, all law comes from God. Because God is just, an unjust law is no law. And as Peter said in Acts 5:29, “We ought to obey God rather than men.” We need to follow Dobson’s lead in standing up to this evil regime for righteousness sake. Speak boldly and often.
