Know thy enemy

I found an interesting article on James Dobson's rise to power. And on the Eighth Day, Dr. Dobson Created Himself by Eileen Welsome profiles Dobson's early life, motivations, and subsequent rise to power. I found it fascinating.

“James Dobson believes that he has been entirely sanctified, morally perfected, that he does not and cannot sin. Now you know why he and moralists like him make a life of condemning what he believes to be the sins of others. He is perfect.”

Dobson, a tad vain, sanctimonious, and a bit of a control freak, Dobson comes off as believing in his cause. Unfortunately Dobson believes himself to be perfect, while holding that other people are imperfect and in need of his brand of healing.
