I came across this article and it relevant to the discussion that was issued by Newsweek that the Religious Right had failed and was retreating.

Read the rest od the article. It is just like the left to manipulate the real message. Run into this all the time...even here at home on the pineandlakes.com website. Thank you Dr. Dobson for the interview and clarify the garbage the left spewed...again.

"We tried to defend the unborn child, the dignity of the family, but it was a holding action," Dobson said, as reported by the Telegraph. "We are awash in evil and the battle is still to be waged. We are right now in the most discouraging period of that long conflict. Humanly speaking, we can say we have lost all those battles."
Several news outlets picked up on Dobson's speech and also interpreted it as the religious right admitting defeat in moral battles.
But Dobson said on Fox's "Hannity" that the media had only reported half of his statement and intentionally left out the rest.
What the evangelical leader said that day to his staff was: "Humanly speaking, we can say that we have lost all those battles, but God is in control and we are not going to give up now, right?"
"The left wing media is itching for members of the pro-family movement to put up a white flag and declare the culture war over and to just hand the country to them," Dobson commented. "So they will take a statement like that, which was made to my staff; it wasn't a press release."
