Philipus, no offense, but you are just being ignorant.

1) With the right medication started soon enough, people with AIDS live a long time. As long as someone considered at risk for heart disease.

2) It's not that easy to get the disease. Even unprotected sex only has a 1/500 chance of getting it. And when have you ever gotten blood in your eye or mouth? Do you know anyone who has?

It does not survive through saliva, so only the eyes are possible (maybe the nose though :book: )

So when do you expect to grow wings?

HIV needs a lot of changes to become airborne and a lot of changes after that to become really dangerously airborne.

So everyone infected by a really nasty disease should be left to die?

And this HIV bracelet is designed to protect who? The random passerby that considers purging HIV infected persons a valid target to purge in the name of the greater good?

Ah, it appears Huckabee may hate effeminate gays, but he sure loves them rough and raunchy men who show 17 year old girls who's boss:

Despite Victims' Pleas, Huckabee Pushed Rapist's Freedom

As Arkansas governor, GOP presidential hopeful Mike Huckabee pushed for the parole of rapist Wayne Dumond despite chilling testimonies from other victims and their relatives that he was a dangerous criminal who would strike again.

Dumond, serving a life sentence for raping a 17-year-old girl, was released in 1999 following reported public and private efforts by Huckabee on his behalf. Within a year of Dumond's release, he was accused of raping and murdering two more women. He was convicted of raping and murdering one of the women and returned to jail, where he died in 2005.

Documentation of Dumond's dangerousness -- including graphic, emotional letters from his alleged victims and their family members -- was in Huckabee's gubernatorial files at the time he was advocating Dumond's release, the site reports. After first denying the letters were genuine, a spokesperson for Huckabee now confirms at least one of these letters was received by his gubernatorial office. The documents were provided to a reporter several years ago by a Huckabee aide, according to the Huffington Post Web site, which published them today.

In one, a woman tells of how Dumond raped her daughter, while her three-year-old grandchild looked on. "I am also a rape victim of Dumond's," reads another heavily-underlined, bolded letter to Huckabee from the file. "Please reconsider your decision to release Dumond."

Huckabee even met with one victim, Ashley Stevens, whose rape had put Dumond behind bars in 1985.

I hope that America will wake up to the real threat! Vote Huckabee and release rapists to make way in America's prisons for gays!

Louis, your post led me to spend too much reading up on that awful Dumond case. I now feel dirty all over. I don't know what makes me feel worse - the sickening "small town" justice that Dumond experienced or the anti-Clinton hatred that seems to have blinded some - including Huckabee - to the vile nature of Dumond.

Read the spoiler only if you want to feel as soiled as I do.

Spoiler Alert, click show to read: 

"Small town justice": after raping the local prom queen, Dumond was castrated and his testicles exhibited in a jar on the local sheriff's desk. Dumond won $110,000 damages from the sheriff. No one was charged for the castration and state police thought it self-inflicted. The sheriff's display makes me question that conclusion though.

anti-Clinton hatred leading to blindness: the prom queen was a distant cousin of Bill Clinton and some on the right believed Dumond to have been subject to a miscarriage of justice because of the rape victim's political connection. Articles defending the man were written seeking to depict this as another Clinton Whitewater type scandal, with false information such as claims of inconclusive DNA tests (none were taken) and an absence of a criminal record (Dumond had already participated in a murder and had done other bad stuff). Huckabee seems to have bought into this.

BTW, the case seems to question some simplistic notions of rape. Dumond later sexually attacked and killed one woman, probably two, after his castration. The only comfort I take is knowing Dumond died in prison - harsh, I know, but the world is better off without him.

Econ, in turn, your post has now made me read up more about this case. There is much more to it than I thought when I first posted it.

I don't really know what to say about it all. Just that I'm overwhelmed by it all. What a culture shock too. I feel like the main character of a movie I once saw. It was about a federal agent venturing into the Deep South to solve some sort of crime. Once there, the movie changed to a semi-film noir setting. With lots of plot twists, where everything is connected to everything and everybody. Ancient vendettas, feuds and weird customs. Like the protagonist, I come out feeling dazed and confused, even dirty for having touched upon it. What a mess.

I don't even know where to begin quoting or linking.

~:eek: I hope you're not talking about Mississippi burning. I believe that's considered a classic.

I know - if it were in a film, you would say it was too melodramatic and over the top.

Indeed. I suspect some Americans might say the "small town justice" aspect is an Arkansas thing. But the Clinton-hatred angle is national, as we know at the Org:

That could well be the one, thanks. And please don't get me wrong, the movie itself was great.


Oh, now that we are on the subject of culture shocks, and seeing as how I am never above taking cheap shots, here's a former Christmas card from the Hickabees:

Edit: Mike's irritating me. So Gah:
In the back, in the left corner, weighing in at 300 pounds is David. That thing in the middle is John Mark. On the right, high school prom queen Sarah. The fluffy object in front is Ranger, gasping for breath while it's being strangled by Janet while Mike's helping holding him down by his paw.

Genius and historian.

Ancient wisdom, via Michael Corleone

Last night Paul commented here on Mike Huckabee's deep thoughts on foreign policy as spelled out in the new issue of Foreign Affairs. When Huckabee addresses Iran, he invokes classic authority:

Sun-tzu's ancient wisdom is relevant today: "Keep your friends close and your enemies closer."

At Junkyard Blog, See-Dubya traces the saying, not to Sun Tzu, but rather to The Godfather. See-Dubya advises Huckabee, when trying to impress the swells:

Do a little fact checking.

After all, as de Tocqueville said, This is the business we have chosen. Or was that the Federalist Papers?

I think it's the Federalist Papers that advises aspiring presidential candidates not to make fools of themselves.

EDIT: Was Tribesman making fun of the Army? Bragg and Campbell are #1 and 2. The Air Assault course?

Fort Bragg and Fort Campbell are airborne infantry bases from what I gathered.

Bragg is Airborne while Campbell is Air Assault. Nice twist there: Airborne AIDS/Airborne soldiers providing aid. :2thumbsup:

Huckabee will be a massive mistake for the Republicans.

It will be tough to continue to have hope for the republic if even the Republicans knowingly nominate a big-government, economic liberal. :shame:

I just realized that Mike Huckabee looks like Hitler

https://img146.imageshack.us/img146/6755/huckoi6.jpg http://img.slate.com/media/1/123125/...L_HitlerEX.jpg
21st century hitler

I thought about that when I saw his floating cross video and heard Ron Paul say that "fascism would enter the country wrapped in a flag and carrying a cross"


I'm not saying that he is anything like Hitler, but make that picture black and white and you'll get the idea. Even the ears!

I can see it now "A vote for Mike Huckabee is a vote for Hitler"

Best fear campaign ever.
