Democrats Try To Deflect Blame For Ebola Outbreak, Fail Abysmally
Breitbart ^ | Oct 13 2014 | Debra heine

Posted on 10/13/2014 8:36:57 PM PDT by NoLibZone

A ridiculous and over-the-top ad produced by a progressive non-profit blames Republican budget cuts for the Ebola outbreak in an attempt to deflect criticism away from the incompetent Obama administration.

Via RCP:

The Agenda Project is a progressive non-profit political organization founded in 2010 by author Erica Payne. This ad, featuring clips of Mitch McConnell, Pat Roberts, and many other Republicans implies that austerity cuts to the Centers for Disease Control and National Institutes of Health are responsible for the 2014 Ebola outbreak. The ad, titled "Republican Cuts Kill," will run in Kentucky and other states leading up to the election.

Don’t know if it’s connected to Soros but it certainly has a leftist slant.

“Duncan was asked ‘have you traveled from Africa?’ and he answered ‘Liberia’. The software prevented protocol and nurses from entering data that would raise the red flag that would have kept him in the hospital.”

Would you explain this in more detail, please?

Did you stop and think that maybe President Ebola is prejudiced against blacks? They suspect that racism is leading to black deaths and white survivors. Well, B.O. is in charge of the Center for Disease Confusion. He even pushed for the Affordable Ebola-care Act. So he must be the racist against blacks.

I think 2 billion dollars thrown at an Obamacare web site that does not work could have helped,but then Obama’s Canadian friend would not have gotten the money,so much for Ebola

The Republicans could do a better job running on issues and telling voters what will change if they control the US Senate. Instead, they're treating campaign season like a giant competition that they'll WIN if they collect the most money. I wish they'd talk about us in all of those solicitations.

Joni Ernst is doing that, and she seems to be doing just fine.

Don't bother with it. It's kinda hemi- semi- demi- true, but not really, and it's off the main thread of this story, which is continued free entry of nationals from the hot zone into the US without quarantine.

When Ferguson Meets Ebola

When Ferguson Meets Ebola

For understanding why our official medicos and politicos are mishandling the Ebola threat so badly, read The Plague by Camus again, and reflect that it was based on ancient human impulses that never change. Look at the 1918-19 flu for some other lessons. Millions died. Very big mistakes were made and important lessons learned, most of them forgotten. The “good news” in this mess is that the cities that get hit first and worst by Ebola will provide lessons for the rest of us. I think we will learn the hard way to segregate standard hospitals from fever/Ebola treatment centers. Admitting a flood of Ebola patients is a sure way to nuke a hospital as effectively as a bio-weapon WMD attack over time. The hospital will be contaminated and much of the staff dead, of the ones who didn’t run away early.

Eventually we’ll see newly-created fever camps become the only refuge available to anybody showing flu symptoms. Hospitals will turn them away, maybe with police assistance and the offer of a handy bus driven by a fellow in a haz-mat suit to take them to their new/last home. What’s behind Door Number Two? Don’t worry, you’ll find out later. Maybe you only have the still-spreading Enterovirus D-68, AKA the Guatemalan Flu. You won’t know for sure until your eyeballs are bleeding. Unless maybe you caught the big-E from the guy vomiting on the next cot over. Maybe you just had a nasty cold when they brought you in last week.

And this begs the question, what happens when 1 or 2% of a city have died: who will go to work? People will self-quarantine at home and the economy will crash. And what about the police, fire fighters, EMTs, and hospital crews? What about the crews down at your local power plant, or food distribution center? Think they will all become Mother Teresas, martyring alongside the lepers for the greater good? Think they will not stay home? But even in the resulting economic crash, unfairness will be ferreted out. Is it fair that some people have prepared, and have several months-worth of food on hand? Is that fair, when the supermarkets were all looted in the general panic, and there have been no more food deliveries, and the EBT system is not functioning? Is it fair that some, who have prepared, will be able to simply ride out the Ebola pandemic?

So the already latently violent among the starving will be very motivated to come out and play. Starving goblins, millions of them. What about the goblins who may think they have already contracted Ebola, and have a week until they die? Or if they believe they will certainly contract the deadly virus soon? And what if they firmly believe by then that Ebola was a CIA/Mossad plot to wipe out Africans and people of African ancestry? Many American blacks are already angry. What happens to that anger when the epidemic strikes them? What happens when Ebola comes to Ferguson, USA, across most of the fifty states? Already brainwashed to a near fever-pitch of racial anger by professional agitators, it is my fear that after the plague hits they will then become super-beyond-belief pissed, and eager to share their case of Ebola with any white overlords and oppressors who come in range as their final act.

If you thought you were going to die in a week, most painfully and horribly, and you already had a giant hate-on for whitey, what might you do as some of your very final acts upon this earth? What will flash mobs of people that angry do? For just one example, home invasions in search of food and perceived retribution, will explode.

Talk about your perfect social storms. No, worse. Talk about your zombie apocalypse.

I’ll say it again: Alas, Brave New Babylon.

Good post. You are realistic about the spread, you will probably get it when they put you in the quarantine "camp", where the 1% or 0.1% Ebola will infect the 99 or 99.9% flu cases. The PPE covered attendents can easily spread it themselves going patient to patient. The only way to prevent the camp vector is to have a quick test, but a quick test will probably have too many false negatives to be useful.

The crux of the problem right now is letting in the 150 a day from Ebola Land which means a new case here each week on average and ramping up from there. Once Ebola is in the general population in any way, the "did you just come from Africa" question will be useless and they will send you to the camp when you only have the flu.

But Karl Rove already went out last week to let everyone know that the GOP ain't gonna do squat when they takeover the senate.

Is it true that Snopes is a Soros agency?

Never seen that anywhere with any proof. That said, to me, Snopes does lean a little left, which is typical of most media outlets these days. However, they have their sources at the bottom of each article, so I find them credible, in most instances.

Bring Out Your Dead

Post to me or FReep mail to be on/off the Bring Out Your Dead ping list.

The purpose of the “Bring Out Your Dead” ping list (formerly the “Ebola” ping list) is very early warning of emerging pandemics, as such it has a high false positive rate.

So far the false positive rate is 100%.

At some point we may well have a high mortality pandemic, and likely as not the “Bring Out Your Dead” threads will miss the beginning entirely.

*sigh* Such is life, and death...

Agreed. If there was ever a time for the GOP to contrast their policies with the Democrats it’s now. Liberalism has failed America miserably and every Republican running for office from Maine to California should be making themselves hoarse speaking out on the failures of the Democratic Party and its prevailing liberal policies. The Democratic Party are sitting ducks and they could be destroyed piecemeal but it won’t happen because of our GOPe leadership that I believe is made up of Democratic Party infiltrators and sympathizers.
