He wasn't right on everything, but he nailed it in this quote.

A quote from this guy on the horse on the left:

“The Roman Republic fell, not because of the ambition of Caesar or Augustus, but because it had already long ceased to be in any real sense a republic at all. When the sturdy Roman plebeian, who lived by his own labor, who voted without reward according to his own convictions, and who with his fellows formed in war the terrible Roman legion, had been changed into an idle creature who craved nothing in life save the gratification of a thirst for vapid excitement, who was fed by the state, and directly or indirectly…

Guest Post: Only one question need be asked of homosexual behavior…

Warning: Some of the supportive material in the following post is somewhat graphic, and definitely not for small children.

Only one logical conclusion could possibly be drawn from CDC’s report: 

HIV/AIDS is still largely transmitted through the CHOSEN behaviors of male-to-male sex and/or drug use.  These diseases are not caught from casual contact but are primarily spread by people who are making very bad choices that are sure to produce negative consequences not only for them but for  society as a whole.

Hey, don’t shoot the messenger! Here are the facts:
