RE: .... and the problem is?

You have to understand the Liberal way of thinking:

If your ideology is this — SEXUAL ORIENTATION IS THE SAME AS SKIN COLOR, then you’ll have a problem with it.

If Being Black or Brown does not require therapy, why does being gay require it?

[Maelstorm]

The unfortunate thing is we live in world fed on counterintuitive myths. A simple analysis of gay age demographics shows that most individuals who at one point experiment or believe they are gay eventually leave the gay lifestyle. That alone proves it isnt immutable but instead we are expected to accept the word of a very liberal Association as if it is fact no questions asked. I personally don’t care how one lives their personal life but I will not play pretend with the media as they parrot stupidity.

They caught her being a Christian? I bet they have enough evidence to convict.

[RED SOUTH]

Just like I've been saying , they will destroy her and with Bachmann they have sooooo much more to work with than with Palin. When they are done with Bachmann , she will be ruined and in the process Bachmann will make Palin look like saint. It's not fair but it's the real world.

[capydick]

They will demagogue the hell out of this and her and then - put Romney on the spot asking him to comment on this. He, of course, will denounce it, in the mistaken belief the answer will endear him to the MSM and independents.

The cycle has become obvious - just like that simp on MTP on Sunday asking T-Paw "where do you differ with the Republican Party?". I have never heard that question get asked of a RAT.

Actually I like her better now but at least she is not muslim lke dick obama

[LonelyCon]

This Newsweak article doesn't connect the dots exactly, but I think the implied criticism (beyond the obvious liberal criticism that therapists shouldn't try to help cure gays) is that the Bachman clinic accepts medicaid funds from the federal government for this kind of faith-based treatment even though Michelle is pretty outspoken against medicaid spending. See, e.g., this article. A big stretch, if you ask me.

[gov_bean_ counter]

Good point. I also believe that the guilt of an inquisitive dalliance keeps people in that lifestyle as well. People in that situation are not genuinely happy. Correct me if I am wrong, but I think the suicide rate among male homosexuals is higher that that of heterosexuals.

[gov_bean_ counter]

If they were not honest about the type therapy, then they committed Medicare fraud.

“Dick Obama should sign up!”

Should we abbreviate the initials as R.O. or D.O,? Either way I like the new first name.

[shhrubbery!]

I would add a few words to your comment...

The sad thing is that there are people out there who have same sex attraction thoughts and DO NOT want to be like that, yet society and the psychiatric establishment tell them to just embrace it.

Nobody is forcing anyone into this kind of therapy.
Why, then, should anybody have a problem with Bachmann's clinic offering this Christian alternative -- to those who want to try it?

Obvious answer: No one should have a problem with it.

But the pc psychiatric establishment does, because they want a monopoly on "treatment" of all "gender dysphoria" (i.e., you should just accept it that you are homosexual, and take pride in it!).

And the MSM does too, because anything that is Christian must, of course, be wrong.

[Salvavida]

The American Psyc Ass does not like Prayer for Homosexuality, because it works while their Psyco Babble does nothing at $75 bucks an hour.

You are correct.

That happened in 1974, with the printing of the Diagnostics and Statistics Manual (DSM) II, where homosexuality was removed because of pressure from it was replaced with "sexual orientation disturbance"; and would later morph into a treatment strategy that includes getting homosexuals to feel better about themselves.

[Nextrush]

Stop the Ghate!!!!!!!!

[eclecticEel]

Yet if Dr. Bachmann had been in the business of mutilating his patients’ bodies to resemble the opposite gender, ABC would see nothing questionable whatsoever.

[crosshairs]

Perhaps the queers would prefer the Islamic method of dealing with them.

[West Texas Chuck]

Same bull, different hay.

[Prokopton]

Just like I've been saying , they will destroy her and with Bachmann they have sooooo much more to work with than with Palin. When they are done with Bachmann , she will be ruined and in the process Bachmann will make Palin look like saint.

LOL. So now it's a conspiracy by the MSM to support Palin?

[7thOF7th]

So BIG FREAKING DEAL!

[gov_bean_ counter]

Nope, didn't say that.

Bachmann gives the media lots of low hanging fruit. Helping Palin is the result of the Law of Unintended Consequences.

[P-Marlowe]

If your ideology is this — SEXUAL ORIENTATION IS THE SAME AS SKIN COLOR, then you’ll have a problem with it.

People spend a lot of time and money trying to make their skin darker.
