Trumps new CDC director, Dr. Robert Redfield, is a dangerous Christian extremist with a history of demonizing gays and single parents.
Dr. Robert Redfield, the new Director of Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), has long standing ties with conservative Christian groups that are hostile to gays, single parents, and anyone else that offends their family values.
In the past, the new CDC director has worked closely with the Christian organization Americans for a Sound AIDS/HIV Policy. The group claims that AIDS was Gods judgment against gays, and was punishment from God for an America weakened by single-parent households and a loss of family values.
CNN reports on Redfields deplorable record:
As an Army major at Walter Reed Medical Institute, he designed policies for controlling the disease within the US military that involved placing infected personnel in quarantine and investigating their pasts to identify and track possible sexual partners. Soldiers were routinely discharged and left to die of AIDS, humiliated and jobless, often abandoned by their families.
In other words, Redfield used his prominent position in the U.S. military to design a policy that would ultimately humiliate and punish gay soldiers suffering from the AIDS virus.

"Is anyone among you sick? Let them call the elders of the church to pray over them and anoint them with oil in the name of the Lord. And the prayer offered in faith will make the sick person well; the Lord will raise them up. If they have sinned, they will be forgiven." ~ James 5:14-15
Who needs a government agency, anyway?

Bigotry and thier stupid beliefs should disqualify them. It used to be keep your beliefs out of politics.
What happened to that idea?
Republican Evangelical assholes.

The Center for Disease Control-- isn't that where all the plagues and poxes are stored? For all us whacked-out bisexuals and mouthy single parents?
