President of Liberia apologizes to Dallas mayor for Ebola landing in the U.S.

The President of Liberia apologized to the Mayor of Dallas, saying she felt 'responsibility' for Ebola spreading from Africa to the United States.

Ellen Johnson Sirlead, president of the nation hardest-hit by Ebola, called Mike Rawlings to express regret that the killer virus had crossed the Atlantic.

Thomas Eric Duncan, a Liberian citizen, brought Ebola to America in late September when he flew from the capital of Monrovia to Dallas.

He was taken in to Texas Health Presbyterian Hospital in Dallas, where he died after infecting at least two nurses, who are being treated in secure facilities.

Rawlings revealed the exchange in a group call with faith leaders about the Ebola crisis, which was then reported by the Guardian.

Rex Howe, pastor for a Dallas church, spoke about the conversation. He said: 'The mayor said that there was a call to him personally, and that the Liberian president had mentioned apologies, and, in his words, a little bit of responsibility that this was even happening.'(continued)

I’m impressed with this apology. It shows moral character.

So am I. On behalf of our POS Marxist, I thank you and accept.

Two people are responsible for this horrible disease coming to America. One of them is a Liberian, the other, a Kenyan. One of them travelled when he shouldn’t have, the other allowed travelling when he shouldn’t have.

“Call me too cynical. This just sounds like another one paid off to deflect blame. These jokers can not accept responsibilty, in its truest sense. Which is why they will never learn to solve anything.”

Good point. Having 4,000 troops in a country does give you some sway with the bosses there.

[tomkat]

That woman strikes me as having more integrity in her hat than this entire Reich collectively.

[Sequoyah101]

I just wish someone with enough stature and credibility would let the cat out of the bag. The wraps on the conspiracy that is this government defy the imagination. There is not one honest person anywhere amongst them? Obloa has successfully stacked the deck of the military with toadies loyal to him.. that is complete. The only way the military does its duty is by field grade officers... colonels and below. The generals are in the can for Obola.

One more Ebola case and Obola is finished? Really? I doubt that and I doubt it matters if he were finished. His work here is nearly done. You can almost be certain there are already other cases. They may be hidden now though. I’d imagine they are.

Remember the time before the last two cases erupted? It is the incubation period. Other cases are simmering right now. What better way to terrorize than to allow people to begin to feel safe then hit them again out of the blue? It is a perfect way to spread crippling uncertainty and chronic fear. This Ebola is a terror weapon made to order.

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.

Wow.

Did you forget the sarcasm tag?

This is uncharted territory for America

A force multiplier for bureaucratic ineptitude

[Professional Engineer]

Now Dallas should apologize to the rest of the country.

Blame the victim is strong in this one.

[sagar]

“You should apologize to Dallas

Texas too while you’re at it goober.”

I’m not the one sending ebola infected nurses around the country for cruises and vacations.

[catfish1957]

Insulting possibly the most conservative large city in the United States? Yeah , that will make you real popular around here.

[catfish1957]

Texas too while you’re at it goober.”

FU dipshit.

[re_nortex]

Texas too while you’re at it goober.

I note that sagar, unlike you or I, does not reveal where he's from. Instead, from his undisclosed location, he hurls invective at the state that leads in job creation, is the home of Ted Cruz and Louie Gohmert, shutters baby killing factories and enacts no-nonsense voting rules. The South leads the way in the fight against liberalism and unionism. And Texas is a key state in that battle.

All that said, there is one Yankee city that sure looks pretty good considering what the holderites and messkins are up to:

The full article, Pittsburgh metro area named one of nation's least diverse, is an "interesting" read. The commie newspaper columnist is appalled that his city isn't diverse. In reality, he ought to be glowing with pride of that distinction. Multiculturalism is a death warrant for a nation.

[sagar]

“and messkins are up to...”

You would know that because 60% of your kindergarteners are “messkins”.

[wardaddy]

Well FMR....

salutation still applies

[re_nortex]

Why do you continue to not be forthcoming about your location? Respected FReeper wardaddy and I, as well as many other stalwarts from the classes of 1997, 1998 and 1999 and are proud of where we choose to reside. What are you hiding? Are you a foreigner?

[sagar]

I will just say this: I’m from a State far more conservative. Do you need my blood type?

[Night Hides Not]

I will just say this: I’m from a State far more conservative. Do you need my blood type?

My guess would be an insignificant state like Wyoming.

[eyedigress]

I agree. She takes responsibility unlike the Lib asshats in this Country. She couldn’t have known this guy was sick but understands her role as the most powerful person in her Nation.

It shows class.

Are you listening Barry?

[Califreak]

At least their president had some compassion and decency

[Alamo-Girl]

Thanks for the ping!

[wardaddy]

The anti Freeper sorts and non culture war folks never disclose what they are

South bashers and race baiters ...ditto

Scratch the skin you’ll find some sort of minority grievance connection

Race religion.. gender....sexual leaning
