Sure, there is probably a better title for this post, but I'm a lazy guy. That title would most likely work for most of the Newspaper headlines in America today, so hey, it works for me.
Bush just nominated James Holsinger to be the next Surgeon General of the United States. Now, if precedent serves a predictor of what kind of guy he is, one might suspect that he is inclined to ignore science and betray his responsibilities as America's primary health policy official, in favor of pursuing an ideological agenda, which might happen to closely mirror that of the President. Well, if one might suspect that, one would be correct.
Holsinger has a long history of bigotry against gay people, claiming that "gay activity is unnatural and unhealthy" and is a "lifestyle choice". The second assertion flies in the face of everything science now understands about homosexuality. He also founded a church whose mission included "curing" gay people of their "pathology".
As an individual who is alienated from modern medical and psychological science, Holsinger is not suitable to be the next Surgeon General. Please contact your senator and express your view that the Surgeon General of the United States must be someone who respects and recognizes medical science.

maybe we should give this guy a break. I heard that mental retardation is curable, too.
