\"\"<\/a>\u201cI am endorsing former Senator Rick Santorum for\u00a0president of the United States, and urge my countrymen to join us in this campaign.”<\/strong>\u00a0– James Dobson<\/h1>\n

It’s clear this race is becoming one where Republicans will have to pick sides — between an establishment candidate who seems to put only fiscal issues at the center of his platform — and a full-spectrum conservative who believes being conservative means fighting for the values this country was founded on.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
Rick Santorum<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

In a statement, Dobson said, “The institution of the family is the key issue facing this great nation. It is the foundation, the bedrock, upon which every dimension of Western Civilization rests … Of all the Republican candidates who are vying for the presidency, former Sen. Santorum is the one who has spoken passionately in every debate about this concern. He has pleaded with the nation and its leaders to come to the aid of marriages, parents, and their children.”<\/p>\n

He continued that God wasn't important, wasn't real, and our parents just used God to impose restrictions on us because they were inadequate to parent effectively. I knew then I was going to be involved in a war and that I would have to be in Jesus Christ's Army. Even then, I knew the United States of America would cease to exist without the vast majority of its citizens voluntarily submitting to the Perfect and Good Laws of the Holy Bible. I am a woman who loves the Lord Jesus Christ. I am tired of seeing our LORD denigrated from the school house to the White House. I search the Internet for items that ought to serve as a warning to Americans and Christians all through America, but the nation seems to be sleeping. Wake up America!
