I have yet to hear an honest, sensible argument against a travel ban, and there are plenty of arguments against a travel ban being put forth by the Obama administration. The most pathetic one of all is it would stop help from going to the infected countries. A guy on Fox Sunday said that it would take “hundreds” of planes to fly help. Debbie Wasserman Schultz said a ban was “saber rattling”.
That's insane. The first step to turning an epidemic or any disaster around is containing it. We didn't contain ISIS, and look what happened. Would you let a fire burn out of control so more communities share the responsibility of fighting it? How about letting those protestors in Ferguson also protest in surrounding communities and states, so we can all share the problem. Perhaps we should move the disgraced Muslim Brotherhood in Egypt all over the world, because that's the way to contain it.
It's not just a principle of medicine. It's a principle of survival.
soon the only place West Africans will be able to go is the United States ,Good luck with that
Yep. If Obama gives in to banning one group of foreigners, even temporarily for life and death health reasons, he’s then let the Camel’s nose under the tent for restrictions on other groups down the road.
The issue is somewhat parallel to partial birth abortion. Once the left allows a ban on nine month baby killing, regardless of how horrific the practice, it then creates an existential threat to their entire abortion argument.
Nothing. Nothing at al. Just like everything the government does not want to do or insists on doing... they pull a number out of their butt’s to justify whatever they want to do. They are all liars and the truth is not in them.
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.

Obama hates this country. He needs to be impeached now!!! It is a high crime to not protect this country. He swore to protect the country and is doing everything possible to ruin it and claims he’s a victim of his own adminisitration. You can’t make up this shit. Unbelievable.
Commie pink fag tyrant.
He was in ‘08 and even more so today. Just imagine how it’s going to advance by ‘16.
“....the incompetence of the president will most likely kill the ones who voted for him.”
.
Chickens coming home to roost.
It doesn’t make any sense to not impose a travel ban except that it would affect certain people’s income. That is why the democrats oppose it.
If there is anyone who likes to do videos, here is an idea that expresses how I feel about this:
Cuts of Obama doing his middle finger nose scratch then pan to the audience and they are all doing the same thing right back at him. The whole audience scratching their noses with their middle finger.
“Hey Obama, be a MAN - Implement a travel BAN!”
