Soy is Making Kids Gay
WorldNetDaily is known for wing-nuttery news, but an article by Jim Rutz called Soy is Making Kids Gay surpasses most of the online news organization's previous efforts.
Here are some highlights for those who just can't bear to click the link:
Soy is feminizing, and commonly leads to a decrease in the size of the penis, sexual confusion and homosexuality. That's why most of the medical (not socio-spiritual) blame for today's rise in homosexuality must fall upon the rise in soy formula and other soy products. (Most babies are bottle-fed during some part of their infancy, and one-fourth of them are getting soy milk!) Homosexuals often argue that their homosexuality is inborn because "I can't remember a time when I wasn't homosexual." No, homosexuality is always deviant. But now many of them can truthfully say that they can't remember a time when excess estrogen wasn't influencing them.
...60 percent of the refined foods in U.S. supermarkets now contain soy. Worse, soy use may double in the next few years because (last I heard) the out-of-touch medicrats in the FDA hierarchy are considering allowing manufacturers of cereal, energy bars, fake milk, fake yogurt, etc., to claim that "soy prevents cancer." It doesn't.
Many of you may be wondering if Jim Rutz is in the medical field. Well, no. He is actually the the chairman of Megashift Ministries and founder-chairman of Open Church Ministries and is located just down the road from Ted Haggard's New Life Church. Was Ted eating too much soy?

This reminds me of the McDonald's hamburger controversy years ago. The estrogens being fed to cattle to fatten them up were posited as the cause for young girls developing faster than "normal" because the girls were eating so many McDonald's hamburgers and cheeseburgers. I guess it's more comforting to find a single external cause than to look at complex human behavior or development. We long for a black-and-white world. Polar opposites are easier to understand than the dynamic field that lies between negative and positive (socially, negative and positive are subjective observations).

So that's why Bush agreed to put polar bears on the endangered list. He thought it was a polar opposite.
Sorry, couldn't resist.

My guess is that the Boy Blunder confused polar bears with Eskimo Pies, and he was afraid he would no longer be able to get his treat before his afternoon nap. Man, how snarky was that? ;-)

Seashell...
Could there be an outside chance that author Jim Rutz is a pen name for our old antangonist Fred Dobbs, or possibly Fred Dobbs was a sock-puppet name for Mr. Rutz ???

ps: What about goat's milk? Will it make me wanna live in a tent and require my spouse to wear a burka? Sheesh!

OGD, The article did not say anything about God hating soy, so it may be safe to assume that there really is a putz named Rutz who thinks soy is making kids gay.
Now, goat's milk is another story... :-)

It took me awhile to place Mr. Dobbs, but now, the memories come flooding over me like concentrated hydrochloric acid. Vitriol, anyone?

Yes, Mr. Dobbs and his followers are not known as a bastion of great thinkers. Somewhat like the current administration.

Of course, the Chinese know all about this, just look at how effective the use of gayifying Soy has been in decreasing their population.
WND expert is an oxymoron, btw. Case in point: One of their oft cited experts on homosexuality is Linda Harvey.
WND cites Harvey as being "founder of Mission America, which monitors and reports on the promotion of homosexuality to youth." Just a simple bit of research leads to the conclusion that Harvey is much more than just the founder, she IS Mission America, lock, stock and barrel. A WHOIS search of the domain missionamerica.com returns the Registrant, Administrative and Technical contact as all being, you guessed it, Linda Harvey. The site is located at the IP Address: 64.92.120.1, which resolves as being owned by Netfronts Inc, which also serves 1,375 other sites from the same IP. Harvey, continuing on this path to web presence mediocrity chose Paypal for contributions and freestats.com for site tracking.
Linda Harvey's own cited credentials are of the same caliber. On Mission America's Harvey bio page can be found:
It saves her education experience for the end, and no wonder as Harvey
An advertising exec with a BA in English, and a bit of graduate work in who knows what...that's one fine curriculum vitae. This is not unusual for WND. My experience digging around their stated experts indicates this is the norm.
WND, strong practictioners of antinomianism, strongly believe that their readers should possess a great deal of blind faith.

Good stuff about Harvey. And the sad part is that readers of Harvey and WND usually do possess a great deal of blind faith, as well as a lack of curiosity.
When blind faith is combined with lack of curiosity, the results tend to be sub-optimum, to say the least.

Not if your intention is to create, say, a mess in Iraq.

Ahhh, point taken. But that brings up the question on how blind the faith really is, doesn't it?

So many levels on which this is wacky, but I'm especially impressed by the conflation of femininity with being gay. I guess if you're sufficiently butch, you're not really gay or something. k.d. lang will be shocked.

Another Commie plot? Like fluoride in our water in Dr. Strangelove ruining Col. Jack D. Ripper's "precious boodily fluids"? Oh, I mean a "terrorist" plot.
