Thank you!

What is your prediction for the Future?
It's time that we stand up to these Nazi control freaks.
I'm fed up with their social engineering gimmicks.
Enough!
Thanks for the link...that is getting circulated. It makes some really powerful points.
Rush had fun over these control freaks today.

Do you have a source for that? A(n admittedly quick) Google didn't turn anything up.
I was a bit curious about it as well. Specifically, is that per capita, or total dollars spent?
Tick mark, HERE, to keep track.
BTW, welcome to FreeRepublic.
You do know that NAZI was the German acronym for national SOCIALISTS, right? The Nazis were the far left. Socialists. National Socialists.

It's only intuitive that gay men statistically have more numerous and more serious medical problems, than "straight" men of a comparable age. Every sexually transmitted disease known to man - and there are many - has a higher incidence in a gay male population than an age-matched straight population. That's simply a result of promiscuity: more partners lead to greater chance of acquisition of the causative organism. And some of these sexually transmitted diseases, especially AIDS, can be life threatening, and require extensive regimens of expensive drugs. On the other hand, it would be hard to think of any illness at all where homosexuals would have a lesser incidence than age-matched heterosexuals.
I'm not saying all gay men are ill or that all straight men are healthy, just saying that on statistical average, the health of gays is significantly worse than that of heterosexual men of a comparable age group.
Some of it you'll be able to find - but for the most part any information that makes a dem victim group look bad isn't made public. If you only got your news from the MSM you would think smoking was more dangerous than meth... Look how they report on - or don't report on - those two conditions. Drug addicts are members of dem victim groups. Same with gays. Same with criminals ( and yeah that group uses lots of health care dollars ) So you won't find it easily. The stuff on money spent per disease compared to the number of people with that disease can be found - but you'll have to do the math.
Nothing is trumpeted when it's about one of the traditional liberal victim groups...
Swine flu fits the pattern - there was too much panic about the flu and now there's all these stories about wanting to protect pregnant women etc. But the panic was there before - before that research came out. And the only people we hear about who have died are young unmarried men with “undisclosed underlying health problems”. What's the secret? If it was people who smoked - they would be shouting it from the rooftops. Smoker's get public humiliation. Liberals hate them and it shows. If it was being overweight it would be front and center and in your face. Liberals hate fat people.
Liberals don't treat anyone but themselves with kid gloves. And that means the people most likely to die from swine flu have to be members of some dem victim group. Because they definitely have the kid gloves on... That said - I could be wrong on this one - or maybe all of it - we'll have to wait and see...
I thought gays spent way more time at the gym?
Maybe so, but during that time, they are probably doing more to injure their health than to improve it.
Working out in a gym makes a person LOOK good. It doesn't prevent AIDS or STDS, or cancer or anything. Might help with preventing heart disease - but even that's up for grabs - walking an hour or so a week has the same effect...
Zero and his henchmen will eat their own just like Hitler did in the end days. LOL
NAZIs were SOCIALISTS. Not far, far, right.
The Republicans (far right, for this country) freed the slaves. Abraham Lincoln was a Republican. The far left (Democrat Party) was the party of Jim Crow in the south. Look at Al Gore daddy's voting record.
Try again.

New tagline, thanks for the post FromLori!
Did you see the video of the poll intimidation in Philly during the last election?
Looks like someone has moved to higher levels. Makes me sick to see it, regardless of the race involved. I grew up with segregated water fountains and voting rights abuses. I thought it sucked then. I think it sucks now.

Ever read the Communist Manifesto? Or what they see the end game as? World domination, brother. Marxists want everyone to be Communists. They said so, in their own words.
Ever count the communists in Congress? There's more than you think, and they tend to be racist.

Like Cap and Tax isn't? Like Socialized Medical 'care' isn't? 2200% taxes levied on my personal choice and the company run out of business? Soft drinks taxed?
Wasn't Hitler a non-smoking vegetarian?

I happen to be a somewhat overweight smoker, and am enjoying a Guinness even as I type this reply. I tend to espouse a libertarian attitude towards social engineering through government force (in this case lifestyle taxation), and not just because I am a target in more ways than one.
All that said, the reality is that the ‘liberal’ agenda (and I agree with the core of this thread regarding the misuse of the word) is laying the groundwork about bottom line costs about obesity even as we speak - very much in accordance with what we smokers predicted when we were in the gunsights.
My curiosity in asking about per capita vs. bottom line is that, frankly, your argument will carry more weight if you can show that a homosexual lifestyle is a comparable (or at least a noticeable) drain on our total health dollars.
