The many, many homosexuals who actually were cured of their sexual perversion agree with Rick.
Balls. You don’t see that very often.
It doesn’t take him long before he praised Hillary as some sort of effective person of some sort.
Good governor, I suppose, but he’s not Presidential timbre.
Like marrying the mayor of NYC????
12 steppers or high steppers?
"widely-discredited" = PC thugs used its less than 100% success rate as a rationalization for thundering against it and cowing the psychiatric community into compliance.
The truth hurts.
He should stick to what he knows well so he can comment freely and speak intelligently.
I agree with Perry, but frankly these scenes are setups and have been, long before Todd Akin. The M.O. is the same, drag out some explosive social issue and corner a candidate with some nuanced or unexpected twist on the question. It’s not that I don’t think they should answer those questions, they just shouldn’t allow themselves to be forced into making a “new” or “different” policy statement from a podium with cameras rolling and only a few seconds to think about it.
As do a number of former homosexuals. I wonder if the media will look for their testimonies.
God makes no one homosexual, period.
Sexual feelings are just that, acts are what makes one homosexual.
Some people have a much lower sex drive than others, that doesn't make one anything.
In adolescence, following a non-sexual childhood, one has strong bonds to the same sex, that never means one is homosexual.
As they age, adolescents continue to develop, some slower than others, sexually. Some never reach the point that they have a strong desire to copulate with the opposite or same sex at all.
Homosexuality is so strongly stressed today that our young people trying so hard to find their own identity, find themselves trying all sorts of behaviors, mostly to irritate their parents.
If they are around homosexual predators who seize upon them and especially if they are males and especially if their hormones are raging, they can be made to believe that deviant sex is what they are about.
That still doesn't make them "born homosexuals."
I’m not sure it’s a psychological disorder so much as surrender to spiritual darkness. I believe it needs to be addressed spiritually. And when that spiritual warfare is embarked upon, you’ve got a HUGE fight on your hands as those spirits have rooted themselves deeply into the hearts, minds and culture of people all over the world.
But I agree with Gov. Perry that it can be successfully addressed.
The left wants to prohibit "reparative therapy". The GOP should make this a "pro-choice" issue. "Reparative therapy" should be available to those who want it. Democrats are autocratic in their "War against Gays" by taking that choice away.
He's corrict that it is like alcoholism in that it is a purely BEHAVIORAL issue, period. I am an alcoholic, the same crazy kind as my grandfather was. I know of what I speak; drinking to excess is all and only about the choice to drink or the choice to resist temptation and leave it alone. These are purely BEHAVIORAL things, and just because one person's body craves alcohol (like mine) while another one's doesn't, makes it "so unfair!!!" and more difficult for the likes of me, it REMAINS a purely behavioral choice and purely a behavioral solution.
He is wrong in that it can be "treated" with outside assistance. There is ONLY ONE successful "treatment" -- the individual decides to AVOID or CEASE a very specific, particular behavior.
The next time a homosexual gets the urge just have him take a long look at Bawney Fwank. That should do it.
Homosexuality is simply a deviant (apart from the norm) sexual lifestyle. To pretend otherwise is not being grounded in reality and delusional. People who support and champion gay rights simply do not have the courage to admit it’s simply deviant sexual behavior, but try very hard to wrap it up in “civil rights.” There is no “gay gene.” Homosexual behavior is also not illegal, but no different than any other deviant human sexual activity like pedophelia, necrophelia, or this entire list of deviant sexual behaviors:

Homosexual groups are trying to force acceptance of their behavior by using political pressure on corrupt politicians and trying to bully and shout down anyone who disagrees with them. And so far, it’s working... Honestly, no one really cares to fight about it all that much. Too many people in this country allow themselves to be bullied. A nation of cowards, as that moron Holder likes to say.
I could honestly care less what you do behind closed doors, but when you try to bully me by shouting at me and calling me a bigot because I don’t support your behavior, or try to force me to believe a certain way, or try to coerce me to pay tax dollars to support your idiot causes, you got a fight on your hands.
If alcoholism is a disease, it's self-inflicted and self-cured. Someone with multiple sclerosis or Type 1 diabetes or polio cannot make ALL of the symptoms of their disease DISAPPEAR simply by avoiding (by force or by choice, either one) a specific behavior.
Someone with alcoholism CAN make ALL of the symptoms disappear by avoiding -- whether by free choice or by being stranded somewhere where zero alcohol is available -- a specific behavior. I know of what I speak as I have lived it.
Life isn't fair, and no one -- least of all God -- said it was.
Come on Rick, Its the political topic that dare not speak its name.
I believe Perry is right to the extent that society’s endorsement makes it seem epidemic. Then there’s the media.
when the political world can also predict the best cures for other disease then maybe they should get involved with doctor patient stuff, till then worry about good government, less government and shut up.
Well whether you agree with Rick or not its fun watching the progressive heads explode. :-)
