    We didn't have a black president when AIDS spread from West Africa to the world. But now the president is black and out come the nattering nabobs.

    Isnt it amazing. Since the idiot Obama is not banning entry from infected countries, the usual list of sycophants and Obama ass kissers are the only ones that say it will do no good. They are willing to do his bidding even if it kills Americans. Sad!!!!

    still waiting for the Republican House to pass a bill demanding that the FAA stop travel from West Africa.

    That would be a start. Why haven't they? In fact, why haven't they passed a bill locking down our borders and closing off all trade with other nations. After all, stopping flights from Liberia doesn't stop flights from Liberia to Toronto and then a bus ride to New York.

    if someone wants to come to the USA, they will do it.

    fly to London instead.

    fly to Toronto instead.

    we would have to ban all persons from West Africa.

    ...not just flights.

    I cannot recall anyone making such a proposition. There are three current ebola countries. If you go there you should not expect to come here. In a year, or so, there may be a vaccine available. Let people wait until after they have the vaccine.

    We do not need to expose Americans in order for the Left's sense of fairness to play out.

    How many American deaths is this commerce worth? Can we count you and your family to volunteer to pay the freight?

    What about a French or German missionary, doctor or other humanitarian worker who goes to help or research in the region or has contact with an infected person and then travels to the US?

    Just to be completely safe, the House needs to pass a bill locking down all borders and turning the US into a police state with martial law. For the children, dontchaknow.

    The guy on the golf course can give the order to prevent people who have traveled to ebola country from coming to the US.

    It seems like a reasonable thing to do.

    Do you think the guy on the golf course will call ebola a JV virus? The throw the CDC under the bus after a few Americans are sick? Or will he say the CDC under estimated it once many Americans are sick?

    Or will we get lucky? Do you feel lucky?

    The GOP-run House has a lot of power.

    they could cut off all sorts of funding from the FAA unless they shut down flights from West Africa.

    Hmm. The one story I read said that in 1982 AIDS was believed to be a white gay American male disease. It took a few more years for us to realize that HIV/AIDS most likely originated in Africa. In the mid 1980s how many people were flying to the US from Africa with HIV/AIDS? Any?

    its also funny how folks are sooooo scared of Ebola, even though we know that its not that easy to catch it.

    i think a lot of this fear is being feigned simply because Obama is President.

    if this was happening under Bush, Conservatives would be calm and cool.

    True. But it takes longer. It will require more effort. How many people take that route today?

    Right. That is why when doctors and support staff are working with an ebola victim they take no extra precautions.

    I am impressed with how much you can get wrong from post to post. It must require a great deal of effort. Share your secret.

    Money interests.

    In politics everything can be traced back to big money interests.

    Mod edit,,flounder,,3

    But that's just me.

    PS....here's an interesting fact. Sierra Leone and Liberia were never slave states of imperialism. They were completely free states set up for emancipated blacks from the UK and US respectively.

    Now they want to come back and spread disease.

    Does anyone realize that the Ebola outbreak started actually in Madacaskar one month earlier and it was airborne. The media isn't sharing this information with us. You have to wonder why.

    They tried almost fifty times to repeal Obamacare with no chance of winning, so why not something as important as protecting all Americans from dying of Ebola?
