Obama Claims 'Experts' Told Him 'What We're Doing' is FAR More Effective than Any Africa Travel Ban
Reaganite Republican ^ | 18 October 2014 | Reaganite Republican

Posted on 10/18/2014 8:19:46 AM PDT by Reaganite Republican

First Dear Leader told us we couldn't ban travel from east African nations with Ebola victims lying rotting in the streets because it would 'hamper aid efforts'...
like the United States of America doesn't have an Air Force or anything-

NOW the story goes that his bungling, incompetent administration's reactive, 
paralyzed-by-some-racial-narrative response to the crisis is 'more effective' according to  'experts in the field' that he's consulted.

And you know what Obama 'experts' look like.

But as Churchill once said, 'No matter how beautiful the strategy, one should at least occasionally look at the results'... indeed.


I can understand him not wanting to cut ties with land of his birth and all... but since when did 'what we're doing' and a flight ban become mutually exclusive? 

What kind of BS argument is that?

One approach to bible study is to look for prior uses of the subject material.

The number 666 was the number of silver talons that Solomon taxed his people after he turned from God.

This represented a huge burden on the people of Israel, and this level of taxation practically made them slaves.

So 666 means using in this context the Antichrist will raise taxes to unbearable levels and enslave his people.

Why should Africa get stuck with all the Ebola patients? Why are we entitled to be healthy and safe while they suffer? It is one world and we should open our borders to all the diseased ridden masses seeking our wonderful new Obamacare.

How are some of these Africans surviving this nasty disease 0bola?
I read that there is no cure at the moment.
Are their immune systems catching up an saving them?

You might want to cross-post this on ‘the meaning of 666’ thread.

He must have asked Holder’s wife. You know, the one Eric asked about trying terrorists in American courts.

This is why we can’t have nice things. Because the JV team is in charge.

Another one rides the [0bama] bus:
With apologies to all!

Are you listenin' hey, are you ready for this
Are you standing on the edge of your seat
Out of his mouth the bullshit flies
Another liar for the people to meet

And another comes on, and another one on
Another one joins the bus
Hey, they wanna rule over you
Another one rides the bus

How do you think we're going to get along
Without you, when you're gone?
You took us for everything that we had
And left us out here on our own

Are you happy? Are you satisfied?
Can't your liars take the heat?
Out of the Congress your losers fly
Another one hits the street

And another one gone, and another one gone
Another one bites the dust
Hey, gonna lose you too
Another one bites the dust

Aand the hits just keep on comin'!

Political hacks and EEO candidates are not experts in anything useful. They re useful idiots and court jesters to Obola.

Please call congress and tell them that we must be deadly serious about containing Ebola by strict quarantine within the United States and from infected nations. This is our right and our duty and it is THEIR duty to protect US.

Capitol switchboard is 202-224-3121 or Google your congressman or senator and get his contact information and call him / her office directly. You can also call or go to their local offices.

I believe decisive response is urgent because you can’t put this Ebola genie back in the bottle once it gets out. It is a fire, it consumes all the fuel it can get and the fuel is people. The only way to stop a fire is to block it from the fuel or cool it with water. A vaccine or medicine to treat Ebola would be the water and we don’t have reliable, enough or any.

Every possible measure must be taken to stop the spread before draconian measures are imposed. What is being done now is sloppy. We are walking a dangerous road. The threat is blossoming by the day if not hour. Almost every hour there is some new Ebola development and none of them are good. This is a serious and potentially deadly event. Unchecked it could destroy or weaken the United States and facilitate our destruction by others. It has that potential for every country and that is why so many are responding with such strict quarantines. These consequences, no matter how small the probabilities, demand a full effort and significant response.

Ebola is being spread here in the United States right now. First Texas, then Ohio then? Terror is an excellent weapon. It disrupts, confuses, paralyzes and destroys a society. Many others and we on FR have speculated that terrorists may spread Ebola. How do you that remember 9/11 feel right now compared to what you felt then? Do you want to gather your loved ones near you to protect them? I do. Even more than I did on September 11, 2001! Isn’t this passive response by this administration accomplishing the very same things a terrorist would want?
When something is being done that makes as little sense as what Obama is doing there has to be some other reason. I leave it to you dear reader to draw your own conclusions as to the reasons.
What is happening now is insane. It makes no sense at all. For example the head of CDC says: “Stopping travel from Africa won’t do any good because you have to get people into Africa to fight Ebola.” “You can’t get Ebola from an infected person on a bus but an infected person should never be on a bus because he can infect others.” “Blocking travel from infected countries would damage their fragile economies.” What about ours? What about our safety? What about resources we have paid for that should be protecting us?

Even the most despotic dictatorship in Africa has acted to protect his nation by strict quarantine and stopping travel from infected countries. Even CDC, the UN and WHO advocate and credit strict quarantine for nipping the spread of Ebola in the bud at the source in places like Senegal and Nigeria where both have had faster and more successful outbreak controls than we have had here. 35 countries have stopped travel of people from infected West African countries. It is so obvious even a child could understand it so why is it OK for people from infected countries to travel here?
I will post this message and keep posting it until someone stops me.

Think how much easier it will be to get medicines and treatment to the Ebola patients if they are already in the US. /S

Ebola has been around for a long time. If Obama wasn’t in charge it would be one of those very nasty third world diseases that we really had very little chance of having any trouble with in the United States. Unfortunately, with Obama in charge and his lackeys making the most asinine politically correct decisions that they always do... there is the very real possibility that this awful disease will cause a lot of difficulties here.

Incompetence kills in the real world. As far as I am concerned Obama is already responsible for untold amounts of misery and death all around the world from Afghanistan and Iraq to Central America and West Africa. Everything Obama touches turns to Poo and people suffer and die because of it.

As far as the actual threat of dying from Ebola... if the disease reminds us all to take more precautions to safeguard ourselves from communicable diseases it might even save some lives during the current flu season.

At our church, at the end of every service the minister always tells the congregation to turn to those you are near and hug and shake their hands. Then we all immediately go back and enjoy refreshments including cookies and a bunch of finger foods. Is this really a smart thing to do during cold and flu season? Is it any wonder that illness seems to spread through the congregation like wild fire at certain times of the year?

Our church sponsors missionaries in Africa and Central America and we have many members who are new arrivals. To be honest the new arrivals seem to never be sick. I think it is because after spending most of their life in almost unimaginable filth and squalor... their immune systems may be much more robust than all of us germophobes who have grown up here. So maybe our church’s policy of exposing everyone to the illnesses everyone else has brought to church with them will ultimately assist the immunities of our children.

Maybe that is our idiot commander-in-chief’s idea only on a much larger scale. Our wants us to turn and shake the hands and hug all of the other country’s in the world. This is accomplished through his policies of open boarders and no flight restrictions from areas with outbreaks... If this facilitates the spread of all types of nasty third world disease into our country maybe he has figured that those of us who survive will have stronger immune systems? Yeah that id the ticket!!!

I just heard that a man from Nigeria arrived at the Detroit Metro Airport this morning and has been quarantined with Ebola.

Certainly it makes sense to ban travel; no one, absolutely no one, wants to vacation in Africa at this time, but plenty of people in Africa want to leave. Indeed, Americans are far less inclined to want to travel via air at all, anywhere, for fear of encountering Ebola. If the Obama administration were interested in keeping the travel industry prosperous, they would ban flights entirely to and from the affected areas of Africa (other than allowing the military or privately chartered planes to deliver supplies and personnel) so that travelers could fly with some degree of confidence they are not risking contracting a deadly disease in so doing. This administration has no sense whatsoever. (That being said, I think the reason they are doing this is purely political; they want to pretend that Ebola is not a really serious disease and a potentially serious threat until after the election. I think it is working to some degree.)

I thought Nigeria was pretty close to 100% Ebola free due to border controls. At least that is what I read earlier.
