But the bath houses will remain open.
Ronald Reagan was also responsible for nasty thunderstorms, burnt toast, bad hair days, rug burn, and puppies who get run over by cars.
Everything else that is bad is George Bush's fault.
None of them died as a result of their own actions, particularly the continued practice of unprotected anal sex long after it had been established that this was the proximate cause of about 99% of AIDS infections.
As they did when the "epidemic" was in it's formative years. They were warned of the dangers, they were pleaded with to close the bathhouses, and (as the movie stated) 'the band played on'.
That's what I was alluding to.
Gee, then what was that 6 billion bucks for?
In 1985, the doctors were already telling the gay community what the general problem was and how to avoid the problem. If they didn't listen to a health professional, then why would they listen to some president? And if they think money will solve this problem...they are in the same group that believes homelessness in America can be solved via $ as well.
you nailed it.
The homosexuals are out in force to attack Reagan.
They do not want any awarness of the man lead by determining good and evil, right and wrong.
I feel it would be very safe to say RWR would oppose homosexual marriage or "normalizing" homosexual conduct in public or the public schools.
So what, was Reagan the second coming of the Messiah??? I am a great admirer of Reagan, but I wasn't aware that he had the power to cure people who had terminal illnesses.

Wrong! Steven is dead because of his foolish choice to be homosexual! Amazing how folks never want to take responsibility for their own bad decisions!
just a few points:
Pandemic: Epidemic over a wide geographic area and affecting a large proportion of the population
Epidemic: Spreading rapidly and extensively by infection and affecting many individuals in an area or a population at the same time.
The AIDS situation never qualified for the definition of epidemic in this country, let alone pandemic. The term outbreak may be more appropriate.
Funding for AIDS is wildly disproportionate to countless other diseases with even more disastrously impact. The first that comes to mind is Alzheimer's, however there are numerous others.
Finally, AIDS is entirely preventable with even a modicum of caution.
AIDS killed those men, not RWR. Denial, denial, denial, -- all of the left practices it.

"If there is evidence that HIV causes AIDS, there should be scientific documents which either singly or collectively demonstrate that fact, at least with a high probability. There is no such document."
Dr. Kary Mullis, Biochemist, 1993 Nobel Prize for Chemistry.
"Up to today there is actually no single scientifically really convincing evidence for the existence of HIV. Not even once such a retrovirus has been isolated and purified by the methods of classical virology."
Dr. Heinz Ludwig Sänger, Emeritus Professor of Molecular Biology and Virology, Max-Planck-Institutes for Biochemy, München.
It's time to re-evaluate the HIV-AIDS hypothesis:
Is HIV really the cause of AIDS ?
A growing group of bio-medical scientists claim the cause of AIDS is still unknown. These heretics do not believe in the lethal AIDS virus called HIV. They claim that the virus is indeed harmless. Most of them think AIDS is also not sexually transmitted; it probably has toxic causes. People die because they are poisoned to death by toxic antiviral drugs. Part of the AIDS dissidents even question the existence of a virus entity. These HIV skeptics say that the AIDS virus has never really been isolated, and the AIDS tests are worthless...
This website tells you their story.

The "gay community" protested loudly when Ed Koch -- New York City's androgenous liberal mayor at the time -- closed the city's gay bath houses as a way of slowing the spread of AIDS. So you can imagine what would have happened if the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services had ordered a mandatory quarantine of AIDS patients.
While aids is only a virus which only knows to infect, the irony is that according to the CDC 92% plus of new aids infections are homosexuals.
Homosexual conduct is STILL the dominant way aids is spread. It is STILL a death sentence.
Homosexuals attack Reagan is based on a homosexual myth that Reagan did not care. This is from the outright LIE in the "thereagans" CBS movie produced by two homosexuals. They were just attacking republican icons.
"Gee, then what was that 6 billion bucks for?"
AIDS was not an issue on the political scene until 1981, period. In otherwords, there was zero Federal funding for AIDs up until Ronald Reagan (the Greatest President in over sixty years) signed off on the expenditure,. That is 6 Billion Bucks worth.
The liberals and Homosexual Lobby bitch because Ronald Reagan (the Greatest President in over sixty years) was not PC about the epidemic and he did not "embrace" the issue. Problem is, about half of the sheep within this country have no center and believe virtually everything they are told, somewhat like Sponge Bob.

Ditto's. Bump!
