Bachmann’s Husband Tied To ‘Pray Away The Gay Therapy’

[ABikerSailor]

Shoot.......as recently as in the last century, people were given a whole bunch of crap for being left handed.

I have a cousin, about my age, who still has scars on her knuckles from ruler edges for using her left hand in school...catholic school.

My teacher taped my right hand to my desk. She stopped when my step mom met her in the parking lot after school and "convinced" her that being left handed was just fine. It's cruel, but still its a stupid comparison.

Being gay is allright as well. It's only the bigots that try to force them to be straight.

And.......fwiw............I've known a few gay people over the years, and guess what? They're not barbarians. Matter of fact, most are very much more cultured (i.e. civilized) than their straight counterparts.

None of them were "barbarians".

No proof he forced them. You have been asked over and over again, yet you show no proof. It is sad how "gay pride has become "gay sympathy" thees days. As for Marcus Bachmann saying gays are barbarians there is this here.-


"We have to understand: Barbarians need to be educated,'' Bachmann's voice is heard saying on the tape. "They need to be disciplined. Just because someone feels it or thinks it doesn't mean that we are supposed to go down that road.''

Bachmann said that someone must have doctored the recording of the interview, in which he addressed child discipline as well as homosexuality and sex education.

All health clinics are anti disease and/or behavior.
If his clinic is not anti gay then why are they trying to change gays?

Because the "gays" pay them $74.00 an hour to do that very thing. And pleas list those clinics that are not anti disease. I want to make sure that I dont go to them when I get sick. Mental health clinic are anti behavior. If they were not, what would you call treatment of OCD ?

Prove it.

Prove what? That children are forced into it or that the fabulous Bachmann clinic does it to kids?

That they are forced into it. You are responding to the subject of the post with emotion. It is a sign of weakness. You cant prove either.

Here's one example of someone whose PARENTS forced them into this harmful therapy.

Yeah, I heard he's trying to deny his own words...LOL. Doctored my ass.

The Bachmann's are freaks. That is why Republicans love them so much.

They are also socialists who benefit nicely from agricultural subsidies and "praying away the gay" which they received $161,000 in federal and state funds.

For all their talk on limited government, Republicans thrive off of a large government. That is why they have a history of expanding it.

The Bachmann's are "socialists"?---- Good Grief another liberal that doesn't understand what socialism is.

And YES--there are mental health patients that are entitled to MEDICADE that receive mental health counseling on the taxpayer dime. Of course Medicade is one of your favorite programs.

And when in the HELL is someone going to ask Barack Obama how he benefited from his GRANDPARENTS-FARM SUBSIDIES?

 

[Momanohedhunter]

Proof that it was not ? And that O'Keeffe guy did not edit his videos ?

Nope--you're not going there. Because we have a video that was obviously taken from one of the gay pride group--we DID NOT see Marcus Bachmann or Michelle Bachmann trying to pray away the gay. In fact they have denied treating patients in this manner.

And this news cast specifically talks about medicade--a program that LIBERALS love--yet chastises this business because they actually accepted medicade patients--who were seeking mental counseling. Un Freakin believable.

AND FOR 3 MONTHS all they have talked about is FARM SUBSIDIES--that Michelle Bachmann's inlaws received--but I want to hear about the FARM SUBSIDIES that BARACK OBAMA'S GRANDPARENTS RECEIVED. Yet not even a single "whisper" about those.

Yeah, it was a liberal that promoted and had his full party support for the largest social program attached to Medicare in 70 years:
Gramps and Granny Rope a Dope Free Pill Plan.
And those liberals would be REPUBLICANS.
And what can somone do or say about what their grandparents do when they are 2 years old?

 

[Too Tall]

Cool and fine, but ware is the fraud ? People have the right to be treated for what ever by whom ever. Medicare should not be used to pay for it. Medicare fraud was implied, and is yet to be proven. As for any psychiatric or medical association, what they put out as opinion needs to be taken with a grain of salt, as there opinions are typically for sale, or changed year after year depending on what the current fad is at the time.

I hate to be picky but I am sure you meant to say Medicaid, not Medicare. Medicare is a federal insurance program for those over 65. Medicaid is the United States health program for people and families with low incomes and resources. It is a means-tested program that is jointly funded by the state and federal governments, and is managed by the states

Does not matter you knew what I meant. You still cant show any document that says he took any gubment money to prey away the gay.

I agree with you and I really wouldn't care if he was paid for counseling by Medicaid.

As long as the counseling was not faith based. Feds should not fund that.

Well, I hope someone can help those poor homosexuals before they all die from AIDS. Not being homosexual would be an excellent place to start.

Actually the onus is on you or the fabulous Bachmann to prove that is was. All the fabulous Marcus has to do is produce the original audio.

I'll give you one.

First, I agree with you, sexual orientation is hard wired into people and probably cannot be changed, and it's foolish to try.

But your articles are not what you presented them as.

The CNN one, you said a 17 year old was "forced", but the article read ...

In 2004, Ramirez turned to the clinic at the urging of his mother who wanted him to talk about his homosexuality...

After the second session, Ramirez told his mother, Beth Shellenbarger, he wanted to stop the therapy.

"And I could just hear his voice quiver and I just said, 'you know, Andy, if you're good with being gay then I am too,'" Shellenbarger said.

Wow... that's hardly a forceful parent. I could imagine what happened when she tried to make him eat his peas.

End of the day, none of this would matter. Frankly, I have gay friends, and I'd have no problem with it if they got gay marriage tomorrow.

But my big problem is how Obama has so screwed the economy up that I'm stuck in a job where I'm working for far less than I'm worth (or was even making five years ago) because there is nothing better out there.

The Obama Way, Working Harder for Less Money- and you'd better learn to like it.

You're answering without following the conversation. Whatshisface, HedHunter, said there was no proof that the Fabulous Bachmann clinic did not treat children with conversion therapy. A 17 year old isn't an adult.

How is it President Obama's fault that George Bush and a continuation of Reagonomics destroyed our economy?

And blaming this economy on President Obama is like blaming your hangover on the guy cleaning up the puke.

Sorry for not being at the computer 24/7.

Attempted lie #1 Are you serious ? You are quoting an MTV show ? And no proof he was forced to do anything. You are quoting a gay advocate magazine article. Thats like quoting Hannity or rush's article for facts saying Obammer is a crappy president. Read that shit before you post it if you want to be taken seriously.

Attempted lie #2. The boy went willingly, and left willingly.
