What the hell do they spend millions of dollars on?

There was an article on FR just the other day about the CDC budget. Tons of cash spent on advancing gun control, gay stuff, and global warming nonsense. In other words, democrats used this agency's budget like it uses all the others: for anything other than its intended purpose.

Unlike every other Obama-caused crisis, Ebola is sticking to Obama, the man, and there’s nothing the Dems can do about it. What I’m seeing as a blogger and someone active on social media is the drumbeat of “It’s not airborne...” over and over and over. These comments come out of nowhere, following up on any Ebola related article. Ebola as airborne doesn’t even have to be mentioned in the article or in comments by other readers. I believe this drumbeat comes from Dem operatives who are panicking about the upcoming election and are doing everything in their power to soothe the public that it’s impossible to catch Ebola unless you’re rolling around in it and shoving handfuls of Ebola in your mouth.

A recent blog post of mine saw 2 women just happen to drop by and leave comments, again, about Ebola being nothing to worry about and, “It’s not airborne, stupid.” Facebook posts of Ebola article draws the same trolls. Those Ebola bumper stickers in L.A. must have drawn some serious blood.

No $hit. Once we were able to sit on the bus with patients, next we cant come within 3 feet of them with proper CDC gear, and that is being revised again too. They are choosing PC over professionalism and good judgement.

So Frieden’s credentials is that he led the fight against big gulp soft drinks for NYC mayor Bloomberg.

I feel better now.

I would like to see the head of the CDC go visit the nurse in her isolation ward wearing the same gear the hospital has been advised is “protocol”

I'd like to see Obama go to West Africa to visit our troops there.

He should be sent in to clean the toilet.

I strongly suspect the carriers we’re flying our soldiers to Liberia in are returning packed with Liberian refugees.

On August 15, 2014 the Obama Administration sneakingly expedited visas from the Ebola effected countries.

Perhaps someone can help me with this.

Allowing no travel anywhere from the hot zone, in other words sealing off these three countries, will contain the virus until it burns itself out. True or false?

Bonus question: If true, why aren't we doing it?

You don’t have to go far to find these people. There are more than a dozen here doing exactly this. Obviously Dem operatives, some are paid operatives as evidenced by their posting only during business hours and never on weekends. Pathetic.

If airport screening is the answer, as opposed to banning flights, why ask patients who show up at hospitals with headaches, diarrhea, vomiting and fevers if they have been to Africa? They have been screened.

Of course ebola can’t penetrate a TSA screen, otherwise American citizens would be in danger.

Are we not puttng TSA agents in an extraordinary risky situation?

Gun control, global warming, and sugary soft drinks.

Why aren't they doing it

Because a flight ban recognizes the legitimacy of international borders, OUR borders in particular, and both parties believe in and promote globalization and a borderless world.

One of Obama's top health advisers (Ezekiel Emanuel) wrote this October 1, 2014 in JAMA:

"there are obligations of global justice to combat Ebola and strengthen health systems and infrastructure in affected countries in the longer term. Advocates of so-called cosmopolitanism—a key position in the philosophical debate about global justice—argue that national borders have no moral significance and that all people, regardless of where they live, are entitled to the same education, health care services, and other social resources."

THAT'S what they believe. That's what a flight ban rejects. And that's why they won't do it.

"argue that national borders have no moral significance"

So putting millions more people at risk of contracting and spreading a deadly disease by refusing to contain it, is moral?

These people are utterly INSANE. They have no common sense. They don't even have the sense to survive. They should not be in charge of ANYTHING.

Maybe the good doctor should be in Liberia, ministering to the sick and dying.
