Packers, Politics, and PO-MO

My thoughts on life experiences, both the good and the bad.

Huckabee Horror

Now that Romney is out, the Republican ticket is looking like McCain and Huckabee as VP. I’ll tell you why this scares the every living shit out of me. My roommate remembered hearing some story about Huckabee’s view on people with HIV. She went on to tell me that Huckabee proposed gathering up people with HIV and AIDS and putting them in fenced communities, which would be like me calling a prison a fenced community. He actually thinks he can treat people who are no different than myself like prisoners, as a matter of fact, worse than prisoners considering prisoners are convicts and those with HIV/AIDS are law abiding citizens. People are infected with HIV and AIDS in many ways, some with more or less resposibility for their condition but that is not to say that we should persecute based on a disease that causes enough challenges. The reason I’m so passionate about actively campaigning against Huckabee is his complete lack of compassion, understanding, empathy, and his disregard for a human life. Wait, wasn’t he a evangelical minister? Frightening!!! My attachment to this issue is unimportant because it doesn’t matter if I’m infected or not, or if I know/knew someone who was, if I loved someone and lost them, it doesn’t matter. Please research the issue and once you have the facts please speak out to friends and family, I plead for you to take action against Huckabee.

  1. Sam,

    Your impassioned plea for people to wake up is certainly needed! History is in the making and we currently have some capacity to choose our fates. Keep speading the word; it is much needed.
