That Barry-O sure has a way with “B O L O G N A”

The true lesson of the ebola “crisis” in the United States is we’re a nation of easy-to-manipulate, fearful weaklings.

The fear sweeping the nation is not a fear of ebola, per se. It is a fear of the incompetence of the government response.

Ok, NOW I’m going to start getting worried.

The calls for keeping calm are going to get very strident soon.

The concern over ebola in the United States is a manifestation of the overwhelming lack of trust in our government and our awareness of its inherent incompetency.

We know our government - especially those that identify as liberal or democrat - are either unwilling or incapable of handling this. They were not hired on merit and elevate political correctness far above common sense.

Ebola has gone “viral” I get it nyuk nyuck. How long before we see Ebola tee- shirts, posters, bumper stickers, Ebolamania! Ebola playset for the kids, Ebola costumes for Halloween, Ebola candy, Ebola action figures, Ebola games “I gave you my Ebola! You lose!”

Awareness is necessary.

Idiots trying to amp up paranoia after watching ebola news stories for hours on end, talking about mutating viruses and “it’s going airborne” while having no idea what that means are the ones that will cause a panic.

Here we have the left, AGAIN, derisively dismissing human nature.

Humans react to epidemic disease the way the react to drowning. It's not rational and for good reason.

Through human history the survivors are the people who panicked at epidemic and undertook quarantine. Either by moving themselves or isolating the sick. Or both.

And the left thinks they can stand in front of that train. I'll say it again:

Silly bastards.

I think it's entirely appropriate to be concerned because our "authorities" are not taking appropriate precautions, or taking the threat of this virus seriously.

I mean, it's our butts on the line, after all.

There are two places on the planet fighting this disease, albeit at different scales, so far. Africa. And the United States. Now, why is that, since the disease has been known, FOR 38 STINKING YEARS. There is a cause and effect for everything. Think about it.

"I want people to understand that the dangers of you contracting Ebola, the dangers of a serious outbreak in this country, are extraordinary low, but we are taking this very seriously at the highest levels of government," said Obama

That's what worries me. (Us?)

Maybe it is time to get some local African advice?

I don’t see any “panic”. I see and hear a lot of concern and discussion which is perfectly appropriate. Panic is manifest when there’s hysteria and irrational decision making - unfortunately only characteristic of the current bureaucratic a** covering and policymaker ineptitude...

The same montra every day “ The chance of catching Ebola is extremely low, you have to have direct contact.” The problem seems to be the waste product left over after a person has full blown Ebola. Seems like there are allot of ways for the stuff to contaminate.

Actually, no. The only fear-mongering going on is on the part of the dying media who are desperate for the next ‘crisis’ to bolster flagging sales of their increasingly irrelevant product. The average citizen is either oblivious or simply following the news as it develops.

Considering the laws of average, even an incompetent manager has a 50 50 chance of making the right decision. For the sake of the good of this country, obozo demonstrably falls far short of those odds. Check the stats if one believes we are better off today if one doubts it. Just about everything this regime (obozo) has said is exactly contrary to the reality and truth. Basically they (he) are still expecting us to trust what they are telling us about Ebola. The more we trust their contention that we the public have little chance of getting Ebola, one need only to apply the history of lies from this regime and trust that more people in the US WILL contract the Ebola virus. It’s likely that has been part of the obozo’s Transforming America plan all along. Defeating America and not a shot fired, yet.

Maybe because the government’s reaction to second hand smoke and the ability to hijack a plane is stronger than their ebola reaction.

Keep in mind the gov’t is really only interested in protecting itself, not the public.

Smoking stuff is a good way to get money. Folks that hate it have an excuse to limit it. No more danger from 2nd hand smoke to the public than any other kind of pollution.

For planes, notice how fast those body scanners went out. You will not see any such speed in getting level 5 quarantine facilities set up to deal w/ebola.

The gov’t doesn’t particularly care about you dying on a plane, but since they can be used as weapons, they needed to get those scanners out fast. What got gov’t to react was the hit on the pentagon, not the deaths of civilians.

So, folks are nervous because they realize that gov’t is not looking out for them.

I see no panic. I see no fear. I see curiosity, concern, and prudence. And anger at a dictatorial government. But we already had that before Obola. I do not see the need for articles telling all of us not to panic.

"The science is settled - ebola poses no threat outside of Liberia to anybody..."

Questioning the official line coming from the most lying corrupt Administration in the history of the Republic isn't panic, or ignorance, or fear mongering. It's common sense.
