The Truth

BY: DR. FOREST LEWIS

The conduct of our public officials is simply atrocious today. When they are caught doing wrong--they blame their behavior on alcoholism--food--illicit/licit substances--something that occurred during their early childhood.

The actor, Isaiah Washington is alleged to called a fellow actor, "A Little Faggot." Yes, I wrote the word, "Faggot." We do not live in the land of Shang-Gra-La. We live in a cold, bitter world--where people have become desensitized to death, and to the myriad pain inflicted on our children--our elderly--women--and minorities. Therefore, I have elected not to pretend that people do not use such derogatory terms into to.

Washington, has decided to seek our therapy for his missteps. I don't know why. If he used the word, "Man Up," and move on. Therapy will not help Mr. Washington--because he is entering this milieu to save his career--not because he truly wants help. If he had wanted help--he would have entered treatment years ago--not at this point in his career.

In the meantime, the Mayor of Sin City--that is San Francisco--Gavin Newsome, is reportedly entering treatment after he got caught having an extramarital affair with an aide's wife. Again, what will therapy do for the Mayor? He simply did what man has been doing since time immemorial.

The great King David of Israel lusted after Uriah's wife, Bathsheba.  He burned so badly for this woman in his loins that he ordered Uriah, Bathsheba's husband, to the front lines--where he was killed. King David married Bathsheba--but paid a huge price in return.

I guess today, King David would enter rehab in order to save his kingdom. Of course, my tongue was firmly placed in my cheek during the writing of this last line.

My point is to note the behavior of the "Wrong Is Right Crowd." Today, instead of accepting responsibility, men and women blame someone else: or another entity for their maladaptive behavior. They think they are fooling the public--however--these people are only fooling themselves.

The latest person to be fooling himself is the disgraced pastor from Colorado, Ted Haggard. Reports say that Haggard went through three weeks of intensive counseling with four ministers. You will recall that late last year, it was revealed that Haggard had engaged in gay sex with a male prostitute. He also reportedly used drugs during the sexual romp.

Now, the ministers "who counseled" Haggard wants us to believe that this man is "Completely Heterosexual." Who are they trying to kid? Grown men who are heterosexual, "Do Not Engage In Gay Sex, Period"!!!

Haggard wants us to also believe that he had never had gay sex until he went to bed with the male prostitute. Yeah, right!!!

The Reverend Tim Ralph of Larkspur, Colorado was one of the men "counseling Haggard."  This is what he had to say:

"He is completely heterosexual. That is something he discovered. It was the acting out situations where things took place. It wasn't a constant thing"

Huh, What Are You Saying? Talk about double-talking: not only to mention this statement is a non-sequitur.

Personally, I don't care of Ted Haggard is a homosexual. However, when his people come out with statements like this, expecting the public to be complete idiots--and swallow this trash, I have to confront them.

Let's face it, all this so-called counseling was done to clean up Haggard's tarnished image. I wouldn't trust this guy as far as I could throw him: because I don't believe that he is being honest with his people.

What qualified these ministers to perform the work of a trained psychologist? Secondly, aren't they just a little too close to Haggard: making their findings suspect?

Oh well, it is the times that we live in ladies and gentlemen. Public figures can tell the Americans anything, because they know that they will not be questioned--and that Americans will "Forgive Them, For They Know Not What They Do."

Yeah, Right!!!
