Meanwhile, our own Ebola patients are so trustworthy:

I agree. The money is of secondary importance, what matters is that more hosts are being brought in and, inevitably, more people here will get infected.
Best to cordon off the affected/infected countries and let it burn out. Help them with aid, to be sure, but protect ourselves first.
For all:
Stand back and look at the real picture. So far, every American has survived the disease. In Liberia, it’s one out of ten.
The difference? No wonder drugs in this mix, remember this first and foremost. We do it with fever control, early ID of the disease, IV liquids, and using blood anti-bodies from previous survivors. Toss in some decent first-class care, and liquid foods that stay down. That’s it. Nothing really that fancy....no $16,000 special drug treatment...no wonder drug.
So, the Africans look over this and say it’s unfair. You need to cough up some “fairness”.
So, you ask yourself this logical question....how exactly would you transport daily....maybe five-hundred patients, with very risky transmission...who already are days into the episode with high fever....safely across the Atlantic for fourteen hours....avoiding undue stress which might kill them as well?
To make this work, you would have to deploy upwards to ten thousand US troops into the zone....create at least five hubs for US transport planes to land, then work out agreements that allowed you to have that many military troops there, and allowed these undocumented individuals some type of emergency passport. Cost per month? Figuring one military site for all of this....maybe in New Mexico...around $1 billion a month.
You could hand the $1 billion a month over to the various countries, in the form of medical aid, and break even...but no one wants that deal.
Bellevue Hospital in New York has been transferring ICU patients to NYU a few blocks away in order to free up staff to take care of their single Ebola patient. We all should hope and pray that there isn't an Ebola epidemic in the US. Despite decades of warnings, the capabilities to deal with an epidemic of Ebola or anything like Ebola in the US are just not there.
Any time I try to imagine the most maliciously destructive and evil thing Obama could do to our country, I fall short. I just don't have the creativity he demonstrates. Who thinks "I'm not getting enough infected individuals by just fast tracking visas from West Africa, I should give a Fast Pass to people who have full blown active cases of Ebola"?
Just remember, as King Obama says, “Make no mistake, the upcoming midterm elections are a referendum on my policies.”
But are we willing to fill up a 747 a day and transport hundreds routinely, to be dumped in semi-prepared ICU's around the country? Of course not.
And now the real question: who is willing to trust Team Obama to make rational distinctions in such a matter? Anyone? I didn't think so.
If they allow these “patients” to come into this country, house them in the White House, the odumbo’s don’t use it very often anyway, the security is pretty fair and not too many “outsiders” get in (note I said “not too many”)

"We have to get ebola to know what it is."
I almost used it in the front pages of a book, but I decided to verify it, and it checked out as 100% certifiably bogus.
Since there are only a limited number of beds anyway, maybe this “program” is intended for a few super-elite important non-citizen buddies of Obama that might fall ill. You couldn’t handle mass importations— a plane carrying a few dozen would overwhelm existing facilities in the country.
I’d go one step further on this. Once you detail that you are intentionally bringing people into New Jersey....by the dozens or hundreds....what do you think the state of Jersey will do? Or say it’s the state of Texas? Or perhaps the state of Michigan?
What do the locals do with the local air base commander? Tell him that they will refuse to allow any member of the base to exit until quarantine is shut-down permanently at the base?
If you wanted massive state-by-state discontent....this is the best way to get it.
I understand the idea here...there isn’t four-star care in Africa, and there will never be such care. There’s a big unfairness situation brewing. But there is simply a limit to hospitality and fairness.

They operate outside the realm of believability. That is how they get away with it. Everyone thinks they couldn’t possibly be that evil.
Quotes are so often misattibuted. I just found out the famous quote of Washington’s about “foreign entanglements” was actually said by Jefferson.
Ah my favorite saying is proven once again, and I’ve been saying it since 2009: “Obama is a radical Muslim and an enemy of the United States and he proves it every day” How many billion more examples does Congress need or are they just going to allow this enemy of the United States continue his campaign of destruction?
As Cicero wrote in his Barnum Quaestiones, "There's a sucker born every minute."
Meanwhile, ISIS terrorists attack a major city in the US and threaten more attacks - while the majority of our troops are in Africa, “displaying leadership” to the world as dictated by O-Butt-Hole.
It would seem that the Director of the CDC certainly bought the “fledgling democracies” line. I wonder if Obola committed our 4,000 troops during that summit meeting. Not to mention, if whatever our troops are doing over there isn’t good enough to provide treatment for the non-US citizens that Obola plans on bringing here, then get our troops out of there.
I totally agree, and I’ve been saying, basically, the same thing. Too bad that not enough people listen and understand the destruction Obama has caused, and more that he is planning; especially the people who love this country and have the authority to do something about saving it before all hope of doing so is gone.
