"Dallas is safe," the mayor said in a video posted on the Dallas Convention & Visitors Bureau website Friday. "There are only two people in the United States that are symptomatic, and they're both outside the City of Dallas," he added, referring to Texas Health Presbyterian Hospital nurses Amber Vinson and Nina Pham.

Rawlings emphasized that other people who might have been exposed to any of the Ebola patients in Dallas are being isolated and monitored.

Rawlings is a far left DEMONRAT.

It was before and the lying 'RAT Rawlings is a disgrace to Texas. He's a Yankee who steadfastly refuses to embrace Texas values (pro-God, pro-gun, pro-military and pro-life). He was once the CEO of Pizza Hut, makers of a truly horrendous product, far exceeded by Godfathers due to the effectivness of the QSC programs instituted by Herman Cain.

Mike Rawlings is NOT a true Texan unlike genuine Patriots Ted Cruz and Louie Gohmert.

A 'RAT president killed by a fellow 'RAT. And Jack Ruby was also a far left 'RAT just like smut peddlers Larry Flynt and Hugh Hefner.

Dallas may be safe, however the people that live and work in and around Dallas are not safe from Ebola. They will not be “Safe” until the last case of Ebola is cleared up and no one is being watched to see if they will present symptoms at the local ER or Wal-Mart.

Yep. Pretty ironic that the Democraps Golden boy was offed by a commie and his brother offed by a Muslim. Commie and a Muslim: two things Democraps worship today.

Bull SPIT.

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.

I won’t be traveling to Dallas. Even if there was no Ebola threat. Big cities in Texas have gone rat. My small conservative hometown town here in Texas is just fine .

Mr Polidiot Socialist Democrat Progressive Mayors ...I vote with my dollars.

Stay safe ...

Thanks.

We have been on the same page of aerosol spread of Ebola for quite some time as well.

Maybe she won’t need that attorney and there will be some other punishment for spreading fear and disease.

Sirhan Sirhan was baptized Catholic and born to Christian parents, with some religious confusion in his adult life, but no Islam.

Could be, he was born in Jerusalem and it is as good a theory as any, although because he is nuts, it is hard to say for sure.

“Sirhan supposedly believed he was deliberately betrayed by Kennedy’s support for Israel in the June, 1967 Six-Day War, which had begun exactly one year before the assassination. However, the “RFK must die” diary entries started before Kennedy’s support of Israel became public knowledge.

After his arrest, these journals and diaries were discovered. Most of the entries were incoherent and repetitive, though a single entry obsessed over a desire to kill Kennedy. When confronted with this entry, Sirhan couldn’t deny writing them, but rather expressed bafflement. In the 1990s, Sirhan proposed the theory that he had been brainwashed.”
