At least one republican politician is a fascist

[Ms Tree]

Hey! On this subject, I clearly don't have an opinon either way,  pro, or con, and woudn't make such a direct statement as to what is, or isn't, a misconception about any of it! But if people on this board profess to know better, I'm just asking for a liittle background to see if in deed they know what their talking about.

Not meant to be snarky but one does not need a Ph.D in any particular field in order to read research on the subject and draw a conclusion. 
 
Here are a few pieces that would suggest that there is no link between sexual orientation and pedophilia.

[SIZE=11pt]Given the precision used by professional sex researchers, the question ‘How many gay men are pedophiles?’ also evaporates. To ask ‘how many gay men are pedophiles’ is to ask ‘how many of the men with a primary interest in adults have a primary interest in non-adults?’ The answer is none. This answer, however, is not mere word-play. It is long established that both homosexual teleiophiles and heterosexual teleiophiles show the same (very low) level of erotic response to stimuli involving children (Freund et al., 1973). If one’s primary interest is in adults, it is not in children, regardless of the child’s sex.[/SIZE]
 

 

Also embedded in this belief about etiology is that gender-orientation overrides age-orientation. That is, that homosexual pedophilia is most closely linked with homosexual teleiophilia (and that heterosexual pedophilia is most closely linked with heterosexual teleiophilia). The evidence suggests, however, that homosexual pedophilia is most closely linked with heterosexual pedophilia; pedophiles differentiate less between males and females than do teleiophiles, when they receive a psychophysiological test of erotic preference (Freund & Langevin, 1976; Freund et al., 1991). This suggests that a pedophiles would assault a child of the less preferred sex more frequently than a teleiophile would become sexually involved with someone of the less preferred sex. This underscores that the proportion of homosexuality in pedophilia cannot be meaningfully compared to the proportion of homosexuality in teleiophilia.

There are countless other studies by accredited universities and organizations but this is a good start if you are interested.

Personal experience. My major in college was psychiatry and my field of study was community mental health. DSM-1 diagnosed anything that deviates from the "NORM" as ABNORMAL. Since homosexuality has become a norm, I've seen many of my teachers and friends slip out of the "closet!"If you look at the evolution of the DSM you will see that there is no precise formula to human nature because times are a changing when it comes to (human) nature!Reagan believed anything can be cured with a pill. That is why I left the psychiatric industry. Want more?

So the above statement supports this one below?

the psychiatric community is made up of prominent homosexuals.

That is why I left the psychiatric industry

a saner place.

You "left the psychiatric industry", or "droped out of school"?

Um yeah, it  doesn't get any more fascist than that. And this is straight from the mouth of a guy running for governor.
 
So the clowns a fascist. You do know fascism lives on both ends of the political spectrum don't you?
 

 

fas·cism
noun \ˈfa-ˌshi-zəm also ˈfa-ˌsi-\
: a way of organizing a society in which a government ruled by a dictator controls the lives of the people and in which people are not allowed to disagree with the government

 
Sounds a lot like a president, administration and democratic party that lurks in DC these days..

I don't think 'common' is the right word. I does not seem logical that there are more gays per capita now than at any other time (purely speculation as I have not read anything one way or the other). Our society has just become more accepting and tolerant so people do not do feel the need to hide.

It had to do with Republicans because the GOP is the party seeking to pass legislation dictating how other people may lead their life based on what the GOP deems to be moral.

But Michelle Obama's food initiative morphing into legislation to regulate what kids eat doesn't count?

Another assumtion on your part? -------And what legislation might that be? States, have passed laws where the majority of the citizens have voiced their well on this issue. as did one of the most Liberal States in the Union California. And was overthrown by pressure from a vocal minority! It would seem that the majority rules only when it favors the liberal agenda! I am a great believer in States rights, and feel the less interferance from the feds the better! I don't want them telling me what my grandkids most study in school, such as sex education for kindergardeners, or the altrnative lifestyle of homosexuals! Or for that mater what they can or can't eat for lunch! -------- Bottom line is it's none of their damn business!

How do you feel about fluoride in drinking water?

 

[MCI transplant]

Ha! -----  Dog, that my friend is the least of our worries! How do you feel about some waco trying to tell you what size soft drink you can have in his city?  Or if your kid can, or can't, have chocolate milk with his school lunch! Or if he, or she, can read a Bible at school!

No assumption at all.  Look at any state that has a law on the books preventing marriage equality.  Are you OK with a majority of people voting to restrict/force Christians because that is what the majority wants to do?  
 
Ever hear of the tyranny of majority?  The Constitution protects against that.  States can do as they see fit so long as their laws do not go against the COTUS.  That is how the US was set up.  Bans against marriage equality violate the law.

Doesn't that depend on what your definition of "marriage" is?-------- Liston Tree, I'm not against what people due in private! I am against it being thought in public schools as being normal, when under my values it is not! That is why my five Grand kids do not attend public school! Three are home schooled, and two are going to a private per-ocular school, paid for by guess who?
