I see that Alan Keyes’s organization, Renew America, has come out swinging on behalf of George W Bush’s new nomination for Surgeon General.

By all accounts, Dr. Holsinger is widely respected by his peers in the medical, academic and state government communities. But, nonetheless, Dr. Holsinger has come under tremendous fire from liberal activists for having the courage to address the compelling medical evidence and multiple studies which underscore the reality that homosexuals can escape the homosexual lifestyle and realign themselves to a biologically and spiritually natural heterosexual “orientation.” The irrefutable reality that thousands of former homosexuals have chosen to leave the “gay” lifestyle they once chose to enter only serves to further bolster — if not prove entirely — Dr. Holsinger’s advised medical assessment.

The “scientific argument” proferred from Dr. Holsinger reminds me of the old Intelligent Design arguments.  Basically the reason that homosexuality is an unhealthy act is because penises fit into vaginas oh so perfectly.  And the body is trained to reject anything else.
The structure and function of the male and female human reproductive systems are fully complementary.  Anatomically the vagina is designed to receive the penis.

It is lined with squamous epithelium and is surrounded by a muscular tube intended for penile intromission. The rectum, on the other hand, is lined with a delicate mucosal surface and a single layer of columnar epithelium intenuea primarily ror the reabsorption of water and electrolytes.

The rectum is incapable of mechanical protection against abrasion and severe damage to the colonic mucosa can result if objects that are large, sharp, or pointed are inserted into the rectum (Agnew, 1986). The anus and rectum, unlike the vagina contain no natural lubricating function.

Thus insertion of unlubricated objects or inadequate dilation of the anus before insertion of a large object can result in tissue laceration. “The internal and external anal sphincters are elastic rings of muscle which generally remain tightly constricted except during defecation.

Which is all why we have AIDS.  AIDS for gay people, you understand.

Which is standard operating thought for the 1980s, of which 1991 basically was a part of.

“That paper was a survey of scientific peer-reviewed studies that he was asked to compile by the United Methodist Church, it’s not that he was saying ‘this is what I believe,'” Babin said. “It’s a reflection of the available scientific data from the 1980s. It should be noted that in 1991, homosexuals were banned from the military and several years before that, homosexuality and Haitian nationality were considered risk factors for HIV/AIDS. Over the last 20 years, a clearer understanding of these issues has been achieved.

Asked about medical experts who disputed that Holsinger’s paper expressed opinions timely in 1991 and pressed to explain what Holsinger’s views on homosexuality are currently , Babin said, “we look forward to the confirmation process, where we can share Dr. Holsinger’s qualifications and views.” 

The rule is that you can be gay in the military, so long as you are closeted.  Which amounts to the same thing as the pre-“Don’t Ask / Don’t Tell” rule.  1991 therefor equals 2007.  More or less.  The entire Democratic slate of presidential candidates raised their hands in opposition to “Don’t Ask / Don’t Tell”; the entire slate of Republican presidential candidates let the crickets chirp at the question.  But leave aside that logic for a moment and look at some more of this landmark study:

In fact, the logical complementarity of the human sexes has been so recognized in our culture that it has entered our vocabulary in the form of naming various pipe fittings either the male fitting or the female fitting depending upon which one interlocks within the other.  When the complementarity of the sexes is breached, injuries and diseases may occur as noted above.
Forgetting the bigoted nature of this argument, I think more in terms of logical fallacies here.  This is akin to proving that God exists because we reference God in our everyday language.  Yes, our standard heterosexual relations dictate the majority of our languages.

Pipe fittings?  Is this more 80s thinking?
Well.  The Democrats have to decline this nomination.  Then Bush can turn around and nominate… Jocelyn Elders, perhaps?  I mean… if he’s serious at pursuing his Abstinence  Only Policies…
