Rep State Rep: Don't spend government money on adults with HIV or AIDS...

[cynatnite]

State Rep. Larry Brown said during a discussion of his legislative goals for the year that the government should not spend money to treat adults with HIV or AIDS who "caused it by the way they live."

Brown, R-Forsyth, made the comments when asked by the Winston-Salem Journal to talk about his goals for the N.C. General Assembly session set to begin this month.

He began by discussing his support for a constitutional amendment limiting marriage to a union between one man and one woman, which would forestall any efforts to allow same-sex marriage.

He went on to say he thinks the government shouldn't spend money to treat HIV among people "living in perverted lifestyles."

on edit: Oh, that goes for smokers, too. I'm guessing that goes for other diseases brought about by our own stupidity. Maybe that will go for an accident a person causes, too. I wonder where he draws the line at? What an asshat.

1. I bet if it was up to Rep Larry Brown

Anyone with HIV or AIDS would be treated as a criminal. Because we all know all gays had AIDS. :sarcasm:

2. Mt. Brown himself

has the attitude of a self-righteous, holier than thou pervert.

3. What State is this?

Please include locations in sig lines or stories

[gratuitous]

7. Looks like North Carolina

Reference is made to the Winston-Salem Gazette.

And yes, as long as we're deciding on health care rationing for people whose "lifestyles" invite illness, I wonder if Mr. Brown would include smokers who contract lung cancer or heart disease?

5. Hey Brown, the 80's called. They want their hiv ignorance back.

8. first time GOP has held NC House and Senate since 1890s

I'm not saying our Dems were without corruption, but our Pope Foundation-funded GOP wants to come in and slash and burn a lot of state programs.

I can't wait until the John Locke Foundation starts advising them on which particular university programs need to be cut because they undermine western civilization!
