Yes. A superstitious moron has no business in educational position of any kind. Especially not one that deals with the country's health care. The man has no business practicing medicine let alone setting health policy. You'd think we would have learned this lesson by now but apparently appointing bigots, zealots and lap dogs is republican specialty.

His views on "gay rights" would not at all affect his work as surgeon general. The article quotes someone as saying: "This ideology flies in the face of current scientific medical studies. That makes me uneasy that he rejects science and promotes ideology." Now that's a self-contradiction. Because there is absolutely no scientific evidence - both sides of the question depend on ideology.
Is man disqualified from being surgeon general because of his religious convictions? Up til about 10 years ago I wonder if this questioner would have been amazed at the thought of any Christian church accepting a gay pastor. What business is it of yours what a member of the Methodist church votes for or against?
Bigotry can go both ways.
I am not a member of what you call the "religious right". Here in Canada I have voted for socialist parties in the last federal and provincial elections, and I have no use for your present president's policies. But I hate bigotry of all forms, and I'm afraid you are showing some here.

Oh no, dem dere homo-sexuals are up in arms because someone with a moral compass is appointed to surgeon general. Face facts you people think you deserve something for nothing (Sorta like foreign national criminals who enter our country from messico) and get your panties in a wad when the whole world doesn't bend over (like the pun, knew you would) to do what you want.
It's like this idiotic lawsuit against eharmony. Everyone who owns a business has the right to refuse service and like many of us we choose to refuse homosexual deviants.

Mindless bigotry SHOULD be sufficient grounds for excluding a person for consideration for public office. Problem is, we already have a mindless bigot in the White House.
Let's all hope and pray that we can put a sensible and egalitarian Democrat in there next year!

as long as he's healthcare expert everyday and not Presbytarian Minister everyday i could vote for affirmation. i could choose assurances that his religious ideals is purely not the main substantial component in making medical judgements.

No and even if it was he has no direct political mission other than national health. Besides, he'll be replaced in about seventeen months.
