In a new poll conducted by SurveyMonkey and reported by NBC, a clear majority of Americans want incoming flights from Ebola-stricken countries banned.
58% of Americans stated that they believed the flights should stop. A mere 20% of those polled are opposed to the flight ban, with 23% (the poll rounded up) undecided.
A slight majority, 51%, feared a major outbreak of Ebola in the United States.
This poll comes on the heels of President Obama, among other administration officials, stating that there will be no ban on flights from western Africa, where the virus is ravaging thousands of people. The Administration has stated that stopping such flights may actually increase the outbreak.
However, with public consensus now clearly on the side of stopping the flights, the President's calculus may change.

Well, DUH!!!!!
So they will be doubled by Executive Order.
The fact that we even had a poll for this is sad. Any decent person should recognize that you should do all you can to control the spread of a disease, especially a deadly one.
Sent mu Senators and Reps an email....nothing by the “thank you for your input....blah, blah, blah....BS...
So what?
A majority of Americans want out of 0bolacare.
A majority of Americans reject 0bola amnesty.
A majority of Americans reject the aggressive gay agenda.
A majority of Americans want ISIS ground to powder.
A majority of Americans are sick of Islam, Mohammed, gay-rights, transgenderism, and virtually ever other nut-case cause of the Left.
Hasn’t slowed the leftist juggernaut one iota.
Kinda like repealing O'Care? Majority want it repealed, what does that Bastart in Chief care what the Majority wants. He's black you know, well not quite all black,the best that we can tell, just enough to make him dangerous and off limits.
Exactly!
Stupid luddites, those unenlightened Americans. Next thing you know, they will become sensitive to losing many of the rights they’ve had for 200+ years.
Bunch of racists!!.../s
Unfortunately for us, the easiest, no brainer decision would have been to leave 20,000 American troops in Iraq to make sure we stabilized the country and kept the gains we won from 10 years of war there stabilized and moving forward.
There aren’t any direct flights into the US from the countries affected by Ebola. You can only fly here by connecting to other flights, usually in Europe.
You can book a flight directly into some European city and then separately book a flight into the US (not a connecting flight).
Are we going to ban all flights into the US?
LOL! Like the lyin’king and his admin give a hoot about what the American people would like.
HIV and EBOLA: How Political Correctness Will Get You Killed!
The ongoing – and expanding –Ebola situation and how it’s being handled (or, more accurately, NOT being handled) has a parallel with the HIV panic of a number of years ago.
It may ALSO be another manifestation of the schizophrenic nature of the hard leftists who unfortunately sit at the levers of power in this country and whose double-mindedness should now be clear to all but the dullest among us.
Allow me to explain.
A San Francisco (where else?) based and HIV infected “leader”of the homosexual community began a serious campaign encouraging fellow HIV carriers to attempt to bypass or defeat the donor screening process and actively donate into the national blood supply. When pressed as to his justification for jeopardizing the entire nation, he declared that if HIV spread out into the “straight” community, it would almost certainly catalyze and accelerate the search for a vaccine.
Am I the only “conspiracy buff” to see the similarities between that and what’s going on today vis-a-vis Ebola?
I hadn’t thought about this angle until I heard Rush recently ranting about some author who’d written that because Liberia was founded by former slaves who returned to Africa, it was our unfortunate institution of slavery that is directly responsible for Ebola in the western nations of Africa. (Please note that I stop FAR short of the recent utterances of Calypso Louie Farrakan who claims that Ebola was created by evil white men to kill blacks!)
But I digress. That reasoning that America is responsible for Ebola – if it can be called “reasoning” – holds that it is America’s place to come to their rescue with a “cure”. And how better to “catalyze and accelerate” that process than to INFECT as many native born Americans HERE with the disease as possible?
Now here’s where the schizophrenia comes into the picture:
There is a growing group of folks who believe that the earth cannot support the current population approaching 7.3 billion. The bulk of them are in the same leftist camp as those now directing the present halfhearted “effort” against Ebola. Many of them are one and the SAME people directing the Ebola thing! The most radical of them embrace the words of a speaker at an early green movement/save-the-earth rally in California. Odd coincidence that, aye? He declared that “Man is the ultimate DISEASE of nature.” He got a standing O for that line!
From that meeting and others still being conducted, the greenies now believe that the 7.3 billion MUST be reduced to around 1 billion or less. And which members of which nations, ethnic groups or races are “eliminated” is irrelevant – so long as THEY are excluded!
Scriptures informs us that “A double-minded man is unstable in all his ways.” The writer must have known a fair number of the leftists of his day.
Back to my question.
If, on one hand, the leftists are sincere in their effort to SAVE THE EARTH from overpopulation, why would they attempt to save the victims of Ebola and allow them to come here?
Could it be that allowing them to come here with the disease (and sending 3,000 potential military carriers THERE to bring it back with them) while portraying these actions to the noinfo masses as the compassionate thing to do is part of the same scheme attempted earlier by the HIV crowd?
I suggest that we prepare ourselves for the spread of the this 60% to 90% fatal disease among the population of this nation. (This may have been the reason for the Homeland Security “drills” about some “zombie apocalypse”.) This IS, after all, the same America that is hated by Obama and the One World leftists now in control here as the source of every evil committed in the rest of the world and for which evils it must be properly punished?
Do I really think these miscreants – living in their sanitized and safe gated “compounds” — would do that?
After witnessing 6 years of this gang’s criminal behavior, I absolutely think that!
Seems to me, questions these days are usually posed in terms of mutually exclusive extremes. Poll question, "Ban or not ban?" It's a BS question. Similar to the "Is climate change important?" question.
Waiting for the animated post of the little boy saying “That’s Racist!”
I can find no evidence to dispute your theory.
