Do the Democrats have a plan "B"?

[Ms Tree]

The reason I invoked the prejudice of the past was because La La said that cultural change should not be imposed on an unwilling populace.  desegregation was not something the populace wanted at the time, at least not a majority of the populace.  The big difference is that now polls (which La La has said he does not believe in) indicate that a majority of the US support marriage equality.
 
Secondly, the dems and republican of the pre 1960's pretty much did a swap.  That is what I meant by the dems not being the same.  When Johnson signed the CRA, that was pretty much the death knell for the dems in the south.  I believe it was in 48 (don't feel like looking it up) Thurmond was nominated for a third party presidential candidate and did very well in the south because of his very conservative views.   He was very much a segregationist.  
 
 
If wanting health coverage for everyone makes me a socialist .. I'm OK with that.  Never thought I would be in the same boat as Cruz.  Go figure.

You are absolutely correct! The Democratic Party of today is not the Democratic Party it once was! But it was you who invoked the subject of inequality of the past, so you have to compare apples to apples!  The Democratic party of today is in truth what we called the Socialist Party of yesteryear! And in some ways the Communist Party!

In your opinion hey did a swap! In my opinion, the Republicans have pretty much kept  to their core values!

 

[Ms Tree]

Not my opinion. It's history.

In 2010 gay and bisexual men accounted for 63% of all newly diagnosed HIV cases
 
In 2013 it was 81%.

The problem with your statement is that it's all based on percentages. What's the actual number of newly diagnosed cases between 2010 and 2013 by category?

All the stats I've seen show that transmission cases for both heterosexuals and IV drug users continue to go down. By default, the rates for MSM will go up if the other two categories are shrinking.

Who's history? Yours?

 

[Ms Tree]

No. Actual history. Look it up for your self if you do not believe me.

No life is not fair, but according to the COTUS, the law is fair.  According to the 14th, laws must apply equally to all.

The "law" keeps being challenged by the loopholes that you describe. Tomorrow NAMBLA will want rights. Then the bestiality and necrophiliacs will want rights. Where exactly do you draw the line in your perverted world? Are public orgies allowed on your front door? Or are you a not in my neighborhood kinda guy?

 

[signals]

Yea, you must be right.  The CRA should never have been passed and forced on America.  Minorities, specifically blacks, should have waited till the majority of whites wanted to treat them as equals.

If you are not black, you are describing your daddy.

That is a fair question eolesen.

In 2013, in the United States, gay and bisexual men accounted for 81% (30,689) of the 37,887 estimated HIV diagnoses among all males aged 13 years and older and 65% of the 47,352 estimated diagnoses among all persons receiving an HIV diagnosis that year.
 
In 2013, gay and bisexual men accounted for 55% of the estimated number of persons diagnosed with AIDS among all adults and adolescents in the United States.
 
So globally about 2% of the population is responsible for 65% of new infections among ALL persons. I am sure Tree will be along shortly to tell you how natural and healthy homosexual relationships are.
