The left’s biggest myth about Reagan is that he let a lot of gays die due to his inaction with the AIDS epidemic. That is what I was referring to.
 

Agreed, and I apologize that my flippant reply didn't make it clear that I got your meaning.  Not enough coffee for me so far this morning, perhaps  :-)

No problem. I am a Reagan conservative, so I am not disrespecting him. And I knew you were not accusing me of doing so. I just figured that you may not have known what I was really referring to since some conservatives don’t know that lie about Reagan (he did nothing about AIDS, etc.).

Reagan probably also knew AIDS was not the biggest priority (we have finite resources) at the time and thus he did what he thought he could about it and then went on to solving more important issues.
