Obama urges Americans get tested for HIV 33 mins ago

WASHINGTON (AFP) – President Barack Obama on Saturday urged his fellow Americans to get tested for HIV in an effort to reduce transmission of the virus that causes AIDS.

"On this 14th commemoration of National HIV Testing Day, I urge Americans to take control of their own health -- and protect those they love -- by getting tested for HIV and working to reduce HIV transmission," Obama said in a statement.

"While its impacts are not evenly spread -- infection rates are particularly high among gay and bisexual men, African Americans and Latinos -- when one of our fellow citizens becomes infected with HIV every nine-and-a-half minutes, the epidemic affects all Americans," he said.

What’s wrong with the straight white people?

“being filled with all unrighteousness, sexual immorality, wickedness, covetousness, maliciousness; full of envy, murder, strife, deceit, evil-mindedness; they are whisperers,”

Sounds like the House and Senate.

While it may be true that we can point out their many sins, the problem is that these people don’t come from a different galaxy or another star system, but rather, they come from us, as a culture and society.

As Pogo said, “We have met the enemy and he is us.”

Thanks for the link. That was great. It is, of course, being exploited by CAIR. (Communist-American-Infiltrating-Ragheads)

Very true. All men are capable of sin. Our representatives are supposed to be a 'cross-section' of their constituency.

And so they are.

What reminded me of this link to that clip of that Marine and the song, was the Team America video. I understand that this was one of the favorites of our guys over there. I understand they got a kick out of it.

Then what this Marine was doing, in his song, was taking just a portion of that Team America and doing part of his song with it. And, as you heard, the military guys got a kick out of it... LOL...

Anyway, there are two clips below, of that part of the Team America video...

Derka Allah Mohammed Jihad
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6mdeIz6BQbU
[the short clip with cut portions...]

Derkha Derkha Muhammed Jihad
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6wmw8UB4HCU
[the longer clip with an extended portion...]

The Team America Video is hilarious, though... [some of it is a bit gross, though, if I remember correctly, there was a vomiting scene in there that was a bit over the top... LOL...]

So, that’s the “genesis” of all that...

AND..., that Marine song and the CAIR complaint was about three years ago, so this isn’t a recent thing. I was just reminded of it from that picture in that post above, that I originally replied to.

Team America: World Police
http://www.amazon.com/dp/B0007Y08IS/

An elite U.S. counter-terrorism squad loses a member while decimating half of Paris in the reckless pursuit of Middle Eastern maniacs; a Broadway actor with a traumatic childhood secret is naturally hired to replace him. Oh—and they’re all marionettes. South Park maestros Trey Parker and Matt Stone (along with co-writer Pam Brady) came up with this shameless satire of pea-brained Hollywood action flicks and even smaller-minded global politics, so don’t expect subtlety or even a hint of good taste. Team America is soon on the trail of North Korea’s evil Kim Jong Il, who treats us to a tender song about his loneliness before ensnaring Alec Baldwin and the rest of the oblivious Film Actors Guild (F.A.G. for short) in a plot to blow up every major city on the planet. Just as the mindless squad cheerfully demolishes everything in sight, so do director Parker and company. Throwing punches Left, Right, and in-between, the movie’s politics leave no turn un-stoned; there’s even time to bludgeon the musical Rent. It’s offensive, irresponsible comic anarchy seemingly made by sniggering little boys. Painfully funny sniggering little boys.—Steve Wiecking

And I forgot, to close it all off, I sign off by saying...

Ahhh... durka, durka, durka...

LOL...

Didn't the libs go ballistic when Reagan and other conservatives in the 80s advised the same thing?

Basically it boils down to the simple conclusion that people are nowhere as promiscous as latter day liberal wisdom would have us believe. Just because they are rutting with anything - male, female, animal or mineral - that moves does not mean that we all are.

Even if that assumption were true, for straight people it's not all that much of an issue. Without getting into gory details, male homosexual sex is much more conducive to the transmission of HIV than what heterosexuals do. And don't forget about how dangerous sharing needles is. Even a very promiscuous heteresexual is at a lot less risk than his gay or needle-sharing counterpart.

Well, I wouldn’t trust a government clinic to practice safe testing procedure with needles. They will probably test an HIV+ guy, then rinse off the needle and test you.

Make sure you don't have a routine colonoscopy at a VA hospital, either -- they don't clean the equipment properly, you risk HIV-infection.
