Every true liberal will stand with me against this bill. Those who stand against me on this are not real liberals but rather fascistic.

Misinformation Rampant in the Mental Health Field:

“Born Gay, No Change Possible” Myths Never Substantiated by Researchers, Yet Professionals Seem Unaware

Then read this {via NARTH (National Association for Research & Therapy of Homosexuality)}: The Pacific Justice Institute says the following about California SB 1172:

This bill strictly bans counselors from telling young people that it is possible to overcome same-sex attractions and feelings--even if the minor or ... parents seek out this type of counseling.

It mandates a new government form that adults must be given before a counselor or therapist can talk to them about "changing" their sexual orientation. The form would strongly discourage anyone from attempting such a change.

It imposes an absurd government orthodoxy that insists it is possible to change one's gender, be bisexual, or go from straight to gay, but it is dangerous and not really possible for an LGBT person to become straight. [emphasis added]

It blames efforts to change sexual orientation for gay suicides, substance abuse, and even relationship problems.

It suggests government intervention in families that do not fully embrace their teens' sexual choices.

It creates unprecedented legal liability for psychiatrists, psychologists, therapists, counselors, social workers and others who suggest that it is possible to change one's sexual orientation.

In short, the bill violates freedom of speech, the right to privacy, and family autonomy.

Peter J. Boyer and Peter Schweizer do a good job of exposing Eric Holder as the consummate Wall Street insider padding his future nest (Obama and he):

Attorney General Eric Holder’s lucrative ties to a top-tier law firm whose marquee clients include some of finance’s worst offenders

[...]

Justices inaction regarding the big Wall Street firms is not for a lack of suspicious activity. Three different government entities exhaustively examined the practices that contributed to the financial collapse, and each has referred its findings to the department for possible criminal investigation. One such matter involved a 2007 transaction by Goldman Sachs, in which Goldman created an investment, based on mortgage-backed securities, that seemed designed to fail. Goldman allowed a client who was betting against the mortgage market to help shape the investment instrument, which was called Abacus 2007-AC1; then both Goldman and the client bet against the investment without informing other clients whose investments were wagers on its success how the securities included in the portfolio were selected. These uninformed clients lost more than $1 billion on the investment. In 2010, the Securities and Exchange Commission charged Goldman with securities fraud "for making materially misleading statements and omissions" in marketing the investment. The SEC, which conducts only civil litigation, referred the case to Justice for criminal investigation.

...Holder, speaking in February at Columbia University, said that while "we found that much of the conduct that led to the financial crisis was unethical and irresponsible ... we have also discovered that some of this behavior--while morally reprehensible--may not necessarily have been criminal."

"...some of this behavior...."? If only "some," then there was "some" that he found was criminal. Regardless, he's full of it. It was illegal on its face — pure fraud. Goldman Sachs defrauded its clients! There is no doubt about it.

God, who is the lesser of evils, Obama or Romney? I want neither at all!
