It was a stupid mistake that may have had bad consequences, but it certainly did not reflect poorly on Reagan's moral character -- quite unlike Obama's comment showing his utter contempt for decent Americans with good values.

It is an abomination for the federal government to spend money on AIDS, a preventable disease, when people are still dying from cancer and countless other diseases that could affect anyone.

Even if you start with the assumption that homosexuality is not at all immoral, given that the government has limited funding available for medical research, the right thing to do is obviously to focus funds on non-preventable diseases rather than preventable diseases.

Most diseases other than STDs are non-preventable, including cancer, neurological disorders, etc. Sure, some behaviors can increase risks of some forms of cancer, but the vast majority of cancer sufferers couldn't have done anything to prevent it. This is a far cry from diseases like AIDS with respect to which 99% of sufferers (at least in America) would not be in their position if they had led a healthier lifestyle.

Let's face fucking facts, no one is cheering these 'special olympians' because of their towering athletic prowess. People are cheering them to support them being out there and to improve self esteem. This is not a secret. Hilarious to see right wingers who are usually up in arms about the 'PC police' manufacture outrage over a statement that is so obviously true, but may be a bit uncomfortable.

Mind-boggling. Bush drove the economy over the cliff along with the solidly-Republican Congress but they fault Obama for not fixing it in sixty days! Crazy. Absolutely crazy. The Republican Congressman who asked, regarding the AIG bonus, "What did the President know and when did he know it?" was not so curious about Bush OUTING A CIA AGENT because her husband found information that would have stopped us from invading Iraq on incorrect evidence.

So Bush's enemies were government agents who risk their lives to obtain intelligence that would have stopped us from entering the six-year fiasco that is Iraq?
Good thinking there, chief. All this time I was under the assumption that betraying CIA agents was a bad thing.
