The Truth

BY: DR. FOREST LEWIS

Idaho U.S. Senator Larry Craig is no different from an alcoholic or a crack-cocaine addict. The man is in denial!

Until he comes to grips with his acoholism--the alcoholic will remain defiant--spurning all help. Same thing for the crack addict.  I believe that Craig is a homosexual. I considered saying "Closeted Homosexual." However, since he reportedly has a long history of, out of the closet behavior, Craig in my clinical opinion has been "outed." He is in denial over his homosexuality. He recently held a news conference in Idaho, and spoke in a defiant manner:

" I am not gay. I never have been gay. I did nothing wrong at the Minneapolis airport"

Well Larry, you apparently did do something wrong while "in the men's room at the Minneapolis airport." An undercover cop said you tried to pick him up for sex. He said your behavior was in keeping with gays who are on the prowl for sex with folks of the same gender! For example, you placed your hand under the stall that this cop was in; and you also stretched your leg under his stall! Face it Larry, you got busted!

The specious argument that Craig proffers that he quickly entered a guilty plea to disorderly conduct in order for the "matter to go away" sounds so childish. Senator, if you were not guilty, you would have, (1) Been honest with your constituents, "Immediately" and told them about the incident, and (2) You would have fought the charges, "tooth and nail." But, you didn't. Larry, you got caught! But like the alcoholic, you will go on lying to yourself until you are hit over the head with overwhelming evidence!

Craig has been a stalwart opponent of gay rights! This is not surprising. Remember, Jimmy Swaggart got caught with a prostitute in his car. The evangelist had preached about the sins of prostitution for years. And what about disgraced tele-evangelist, Jim Bakker? Not only did he have an affair with Jessica Hahn, there are reports that he also engaged in gay anal sex with another male preacher friend! He too preached against the sins of adultery and homosexuality!

Senator Craig is utilizing the defense mechanism known as Reaction Formation:

"The process through which unacceptable feelings or impulses are controlled by establishing of behavior patterns which are directly opposed to them. According to classical psychoanalytical theory, reaction formation operates by repressing the original impulse, which is assumed to continue to exist, unconsciously in its original form and is, thus, likely to emerge under some circumstances. The concept has played an important role in theoretical analyses of various clinical cases, e.g., those where a pattern of antisocial behavior precipiously emerges in a person with a past history of kindness and solicitude"

Craig has opposed gay marriage and civil unions. And all the time presenting to the public as a loving family man. This is a tortured individual. He no doubt tries to be a loving heterosexual husband, however, his homosexual impulses sometimes get the best of him, hence, his acting out in the men's room at the Minnesota airport!

The question that begs to be answered at this point is why won't this man just "Come Out And Announce That He Is Gay?" I would say that he is too embarassed at this point to make such an announcement. The other issue that comes to my mind has to do with "Family Of Origin." It is our families of origin that give to us our personalities. Our personalities are set in stone by the age of six. Let's say that this man's family preached against homosexuality for as long as he can remember. He inculcated this message. And that is, being a homosexual is not only sinful--but an abomination to God! The other possibility is that Senator Craig was molested either by a male family member or someone close to the Craig family.

Not only is this embarassing to a young man. But, regardless of the age that the incest took place, the male victim blames himself for the molestation and questions his "Manhood."

So, Larry Craig has decided to attack his critics in a vigorous manner. I believe that at the end of the day, Craig will decide to not run for reelection next year; or he will enter rehab, citing an "Alcohol Problem" for his mis-steps. If he decides to run for reelection, which I'm hoping that he will not do, the socialists press will be all over him like fleas on an old hounddog! Already, the  socialists media is tying Craig in with Senator Vitters of Louisana, who had an affair with prostitutes. What that has to do with homosexuality is beyond me. But, leave it up to the press to "throw crap against the wall, hoping that something will stick."

Jailed Congressman, Duke Cunningham's name also popped up on morning television. Cunningham's arrogance is what landed him in a federal jail cell. He ripped off the government to the tune of thousands of dollars. Again, the only thing Cunningham and Craig have in common is the fact that they both are "Republican." Are you seeing a trend with the socialists press here?

Craig's own party on the Hill have distanced themselves from him. In fact, Senate Minority Leader, Mitch McConnell is looking into possibly sanctioning Craig.

The so-called "watchdog group" known as Citizens For Responsibility and Ethics got the ball rolling on the Craig story. CFRE filed a complain with the Senate ethics committee--calling for an investigation into Craig's arrest.

The public needs to know a little something about Citizens For Responsibility and Ethics. This hypocritical group of leftists have either filed lawsuits or lodged complaints against the following lawmakers:

* Congressman James Sensenbrenner

* Congressman Pete Sessions

* Congressman Jerry Lewis

* U.S. Senator, Mel Martinez

* House Minority Leader, John Boehner

What do all of the above men have in common?  They are all "Republicans." Apparently, Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics found all members of the democrat party to be above reproach! 

There are indeed somethings that make you want to go, Hmmmmm.......
