The latest on Dr. Brantley:

Dr. Kent Brantly, a doctor working for Samaritan’s Purse, and Nancy Writebol, a missionary with SIM, have shown a slight improvement in the past 24 hours. However, both remain in serious condition in Liberia where they are being treated for Ebola.

I imagine he flew back home. It could be all over the place by now.

Yes, they’ve got to be stopped. ALL OF THEM. And all who have been there recently regardless of how they have travelled here.

I respect this doctor for doing the right thing, and I most certainly hope he will be ok.

But basically those entire countries should be quarantined RIGHT NOW.

The entire continent needs to be quarantined and blockaded. All air travel shut off to/from the continent.

Was just thinking the same thing. He had to of flown home...likely on a commercial aircraft. But, he’s not exhibited symptoms, according to the article.

Sorry but my compassion button does not work for these third world countries or for any westerners who go there to help. Ban any and all people traveling from these countries from entering the USA. This includes the so called children from Central America who will only grow up here in America to be enemies to our way of life.

If he comes down with it, then it could be a problem. What I find more interesting is that he came home.

BIBLE PROMISES FOR THOSE WHO HELP THE POOR

Psalm 41
1 Blessed are those who have regard for the weak;
the Lord delivers them in times of trouble.
2 The Lord protects and preserves them—
they are counted among the blessed in the land—
he does not give them over to the desire of their foes.
3 The Lord sustains them on their sickbed
and restores them from their bed of illness.

God also promises protection from the plague in Psalm 91.

Something I posted previously on the two Ebola victims:

http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/news/3185792/posts?page=5#5

I love the Psalms - one of my favorites ... the Lord will watch over them:

Psalm 121

1 I lift up my eyes to the mountains—
where does my help come from?
2 My help comes from the Lord,
the Maker of heaven and earth.
3 He will not let your foot slip—
he who watches over you will not slumber;
4 indeed, he who watches over Israel
will neither slumber nor sleep.
5 The Lord watches over you—
the Lord is your shade at your right hand;
6 the sun will not harm you by day,
nor the moon by night.
7 The Lord will keep you from all harm—
he will watch over your life;
8 the Lord will watch over your coming and going
both now and forevermore.

Yes, I have been praying for Dr Brantly, and must continue. He is a brave man.

These doctors were working with Samaratin’s Purse, a Franklin Graham ministry. Doing the Lord’s work, as it were.

First batch will be in one of these illegal alien holding facilities.

I do believe Obama would welcome this horrible disease on our shores. He would welcome the death and mayhem. it is an extremely powerful political tool to gain power. What is more powerful than thousands of dead children on the border?

I still maintain the opinion that Obama has the same blood of Pol Pot, Stalin, and Castro flowing though his veins. The only thing keeping us safe is he hasn’t figures out how to get all the guns at the bottom of the nearest lake.
