Summary: This should be on the best sellers list.
Review: Although Gary Bauer may be extreme at some points, I believe that the views that he and Hobson display are valid. The youth in America are growing up corrupt and there are people who let this go by. Morals need to be instilled into our children so that they will grow up to believe what President Clinton did was wrong, and that should not be tolerated. This book is shocking but definitely a wake-up call for all parents.

Summary: Occasionally good points given by bad messangers
Review: Let me first say that I am, I think, a decent person. I am, however imperfect or inadequate, a practicing Christian. Thus, just because I disagree with the great morality spew of Mr. Dobson and Mr.(President?)Bauer does not mean that I'm a perverted, pornography peddling, single mother kissing, out of wedlock born and thieving person. I hope you can see the sarcasim. But, yes, I am a normal person! OK - this book does on occasion make good points. The cultural left all too often over the past 30 years has done some pretty stupid things, yet so has the cultural right. If Dobson and Bauer are so concerned about 'children' then they should do a pragmatic - and not right wing - book on the affects of everything from pornography to unemployment to racism to lack of health care to divorce to the global economy to religious values, etc. Children don't know a darn thing about liberalism vs. conservatism, they only know the values we teach them. Teaching them that gun control is bad and that homosexual control is good just doesn't make sense. Teaching them that tobacco is good and drugs are bad just doesn't make sense. Why can't we embrace moral responsibility on both the left and right? This book sure doesn't. In fact, I would dare argue that this book occasionally hams it up and demagogues, if not lies, about some issues. I refuse to believe some of the things I read. If they were true, we'd be in Communist 'Mother Russia' now! Also, I refuse to believe that the 'pro-family'(hah!)policies of the Reagan/Bush Administrations actually helped families. What a lie! Also, I find the book's section on the child care debate to be a mockery of what is true and what families need. Yes, the book does make some good points. The cultural left does occasionally support what is nothing but ugly moral relativism. But so does the right. It's all about their constituences. By getting into the constituency business and out of the family business, Dr. Dobson has done himself - and our country - a huge disservice. I remember my mother, who is a fine Democrat, would always listen to Dr. Dobson's show. In fact, I bet that many of the things she taught me came from Dr. Dobson's sagacious teachings on being a good parent. But what does endorsing Bob Dornan for Congress or the flat tax have to do with my Mom or Dad being good parents? Thus, Dr. Dobson, quite possibly, began his slide into right wing land right here. He shows his love of politics through the book's occasional dishonesty, I am sad to state. As for Mr. Bauer, he has always been into the right wing political circuit. In ending, it is sad that the distinguished authors have taken a subject, moral decline, and demagogued it. Dr. Dobson could have gotten a good Democrat to write the book with him and written one great and influencal book. Instead, he wrote another book which conservatives can put on their bookshelf next to "Up from Liberalism" by William F. Buckley, "The Conscience of a Conservative" by Goldwater and "Where's the Rest of Me?" by President Reagan(oh yes, let us never forget "The Way Things Oughtta Be" by Rush!). This is a wasted opportunity.
