The following link is to James Dobson's most recent post on CitizenLink, and explains a line in the sand that was recently drawn for the GOP. Apparently, they really are serious about taking their ball and going straight home.

A friend just sent a link documenting the interconnections between various dominionists. Check out the June 7 entry:

Blackwater was founded in 1997 by Erik Prince, a former US Navy SEAL and right-wing fundamentalist Christian from Michigan. Prince's father is Edgar Prince, who founded the Family Research Council with Gary Bauer. Erik Prince's sister is Betty DeVos, who is married to Dick DeVos, the son of Amway co-founder and Mormon bigwig Richard DeVos. The General Counsel for Erik Prince's Blackwater parent company, the Prince Group, is Joseph Schmitz, the Pentagon's former Inspector General. Schmitz's brother, John Schmitz, Jr. deputy counsel to George H. W. Bush and who is married to the sister of Columba Bush, Jeb Bush's wife. The father of John and Joseph was extreme right-wing Republican Congressman John Schmitz, Sr. Their sister is Mary Kay Letourneau, a former Washington State schoolteacher jailed for having sex with a thirteen year old American Samoan student who she later married. (Emphasis mine)

I'm from Seattle. The Letourneau case in local coverage rivals only that of the OJ case nationally. I don't know about the coverage outside this area, so I can't comment; but for those of us in Western Washington, Ms. Letourneau's name is better known that many national celebrities. The Letourneau fiasco is still a hot topic amongst teachers around here.

No one in the mainstream media has ever mentioned that she was from such a prominent family. Back when Geraldine Ferraro ran for VP, that same media dug up supposed dirt on her grandfather.

(I'm not suggesting Dominion groups are harboring child rapists. I just thought it was interesting, perhaps alarming.)
