There had never been a case of Ebola in the U.S. until a few months ago. Since then, thousands of people have died of the disease in Africa, and millions upon millions of dollars have been spent treating Ebola patients in the U.S. who acquired it there, one of whom has died.
But the Obama administration refuses to impose a travel ban.
This summer, the U.S. government imposed a travel ban on Israel simply to pressure Prime Minister Netanyahu into accepting a ceasefire agreement. But we can't put a travel restriction on countries where a contagious disease is raging.
It's becoming increasingly clear this is just another platform for Obama to demonstrate that we are citizens of the world. The entire Ebola issue is being discussed -- by our government, not the United Nations -- as if Liberians are indistinguishable from Americans, and U.S. taxpayers should be willing to pay whatever it takes to save them.
Maybe we should give them the vote, too! If Ebola was concentrated in Finland and Norway -- certainly Israel! -- we'd have had a travel ban on Day One.
The head of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, Dr. Tom Frieden, justifies Obama's refusal to prohibit flights originating in Ebola-plagued countries, saying, "A travel ban is not the right answer. It's simply not feasible to build a wall -- virtual or real -- around a community, city or country."
What is it with liberals living in gated communities always telling us that fences don't work? THAT'S WHAT A QUARANTINE IS.
At the congressional hearing on Ebola last week, Republicans repeatedly pressed the CDC representative, Dr. Toby Merlin, to explain why Obama refuses to impose a travel ban.

A 5 year old could run the country better than Obama.
The Democrats - and not without excellent reason - treat their voters as idiots who are incapable of thinking for themselves, merely fodder by which to generate votes for Leftist schemes and oddball visions, all of them calculated to increase government power and diminish liberty.
The Founders would be appalled.
Transforming America... ...into a third-world, socialist cesspool.
Yep.
Not exceptional. Used to be. Not anymore. Just another country.
Dreams From My Fatwa: A Bucket List For Bugchasers
http://clashdaily.com/2014/10/dreams-fatwa-bucket-list-bugchasers/
The Obama administration is violating their own policy by not banning flights from Ebola infected countries.
I thought their policy was “don’t do stupid sh*t”.
Hey, Obama, this is stupid sh*t!
I believe our great leader will end ebola with executive action since congress won’t act.
Ann Coulter is dead to me.
I will not forgive her trying to shove Romney and Christie down our throats.
She is part of the problem.
She’ll be pushing LBJeb next time probably
Yup
And Coulter never repented from Christie or Romeny. .She’s still going to pimp both of them if she gets a chance to.
“Why, precisely, must we attack Ebola in Africa? Research on a cure doesn’t require cuddling victims in their huts. Scientists who discovered the AIDS cocktail didn’t spend their nights at Studio 54 in order to “fight the disease at its source.”
My favorite blurb in the article.
Put Quarantine travel restrictions on people traveling to the United States from Ebola epidemic countries but extend the 13,000 travel visas for those in the country who do not have Ebola until the Ebola epidemic is over if they wish to stay.
The Obama’s flat refusal to observe the most basic disease control measures is going to do massive harm to the United States .
It's almost as if he wants Ebola to come to America and is inviting it in, just like he invited in the the massive influx of illegals
What is worse Ebola or Mittens? many would say Mittens. But, I think he could do a better job as president than OBumble we have now. Maybe America deserves Ebola—for re-electing a poster like Obama. I believe Lots of folks are going to die before obama leaves the White House? In time he will be the most hated man in America.
bttt
Time for the Solution to the root problem in a single day:
Playing Russian Roulette with people THIS LATE in the crisis! When does the A-Game kick in? From the beginning, up until now:
This is too stupid to be stupid!
Which means?
Either it was deliberate [a desire for panic, economic crisis, martial law, and culling of the riffraff herd] ...
... or ...
... political correctness to this degree is severe neurosis if not outright psychosis by multiple misanthropes. Either way HIGH CRIME AND MISDEMEANOR, not only by Fried-ham, but also by President Ebola the Chief has failed miserably reg. national security/public safety despite warning bells from sea to infected sea. The DNCs apathy is on parade as well. [Like I’ve always said, the top republican leaders never go for the kill.]
If deliberate, the first phase of the plan would have been vague deliberate apathy in the hope of a good disease crisis so that it could be exploited. That’s how the game is played by tyrants who can’t openly conspire in a republic. It’s just a salting of incompetency.
If it’s due to political correctness, I find that to be a difficult stretch. This is wa...ay crazier than a naked tree-sitter.
Or, is it sheer hatred of us parasite-humans? Misanthropic population control measures? Possibly. Makes more sense than political correctness.
One thing is for certain why doesn’t even matter. A high crime and misdemeanor does not need to demonstrate motive. And the only proof required is abject, unpardonable failure to do ones sworn duty. The RNC should go through the motions impeach and patriotic senators petition for an impeachment trial on the same day.
A single day!
Public record is all that is required at this point.
PUT THE DNC ON THE HOT SPOT. THIS CRISIS IS FAR ABOVE PETTY RACE ISSUES BECAUSE EVERY RACE IS VULNERABLE TO EBOLA! If the DNC wants to subject the US to more of this leader-ship, let it BE ON RECORD! Then let the voters decide next month.
We can choose to forgive without pardoning. Forgiveness is a matter of the heart, not a matter of good governance.
So how are the Benghazi and IRS scandal investigations coming along?
