Ebola In America - It's The Republicans' Fault?
Is anyone really surprised by this?
This ad (funded by The Agenda Project - a progressive non-profit political organization founded in 2010 by author Erica Payne), as RealClearPolitics reports, featuring clips of Mitch McConnell, Pat Roberts, and many other Republicans implies that austerity cuts to the CDC and NIH are responsible for the 2014 Ebola outbreak.
This ad will run in Kentucky and other states leading up to the election.

We all really know its Obamas fault.....
Controlled opposition, the gatekeeper of reality and responsibility......sigh.
RIPS
when they point fingers..
is when SWHTF...
now its ON!
"It's all Bush(man)'s Fault!!!"
[why not? They tried to blame AIDS on Reagan...]
Never let a good crisis go to waste... especially in an election year
Cut flights from West Africa NOW!
red team v. blue team... the hyjinks never end...
Do these people have any scruples? Never mind, it was a rhetorical question...
As soon as Ron Paul retired, I unregistered myself as a Republican.
Now I'm Independent.
Ebola "outbreak"....in the US ?????
What, ALL 2 ?
Dr. Fauci: "Good to be with you Bralf"
No they're not at fault directly, but worth noting that the repubs are the most mentally retarded political party re: science this side of the saudi monarchy.
James Cunt- its worth noting that the republican party became the republican party because they specifically opposed slavery. The democrat party became the democrat party for the specific reason as to keep their slaves. Morals this side of the saudi monarchy or any other Mooslime nation for that matter.
You deserve the biggest douche in the universe award. Maybe your name should be John Edward.

K so wtf does that have to do with science policy in the 21st century?
Where are they so retarded...other than your OPINION on where life begins? The Dems picked all of those in charge and per normal, they are failing miserably on all fronts. That is the only fact here that matters and anything else is just BS. Please go back to your ACORN meeting and go fuck yourself
The CDC's budget is 3X what it was in 2001. What cuts?
It's like saying "I expect to make a million dollars this year" and then only making $500K and calling it a 50% reduction in your pay. Idiotic.
I wouldn't give they ANY fucking money at this point. Why? They've completely fucked this up and are ACTIVELY LYING TO US (something I never thought I'd believe of the normally buttoned-down CDC). Far as I'm concered, I'd rather not give them ANY money. At all. I think we'd be better off without them than shoveling money into something that clearly doesn't even work any more.
Republicans are at 'fault' to the extent they have not opposed the wide open borders, open immigration policy of allowing Africans fly here from heavily infected areas, and fostering HMO medicine run by greedy insurance companies who don't give a flip about 'maintaining' your health and so on.
Repugnicans' silence makes them accomplices.
Urine idiot.
Republicans own science and they own you. They don't have to lie, censor, cook the books, and burn the books they don't like. That's what you do. Obama's Science Czar Holdren wants forced sterilizations, de-population, and women forced to get a license to have baby. In the 1970s he said we'd be in another Ice Age by now.
Regarding the 'global warming hoax', the pompous dicks at East Anglia even had to admit they lied and cheated and blackballed science papers that didn't agree with their neo-Aryan science fraud. Yet, you go on as if none of it happened. You're a denier. No warming for 18 years now, and the few years of warming is bookended by the 1970s which was so cold there was fear of "new Ice age".
And a dream team of militant atheists, with Nobel prizes and PhDs, tried to prove life happened spontaneously on Earth and they failed so miserably it shook their own beliefs very badly. They publicly admitted life could not have happened without external intervention. Hoyle even went to his grave in his 90's in 2004 still denying that even the Big Bang happened, because it was too "Biblical".
Those are your loser science heroes, the ones you still revere. So cry us a river.
Om the basis that current observations indicate that spacetime is flat, not curved, it seems that the Universe (of which the observable part is but a small part) may be infinite. Such evidence does not help the "Big Bang" aficionados, especially since there are still significant problems in accounting for observed events (problems that necessitate such exotica as "Dark Matter" and "Dark Energy").
There are many newer, and better explanations, especially of the CMB (which can also be ascribed to stellar light scatter), and these newer ideas do not need a latter-day Phlogiston to maintain their integrity. So, I'd be a bit cautious in discounting Hoyle and Wickramsinghe's work - since it's becoming rather likely that they were on the right track after all.
Uhu... Yeah, this is a U.S. American site all right...
God made it happen! (yawn)
So please tell me, since you're so certain you have all the answers: who or what made your great creator of the universe and everything, god, happen?
the democrat party became the democrat party because they pander to the whims of the dumb-masses...to call someone a democrat was (and still is) an insult...take your democracy and shove it up your ass
Oh, if the Republicans would let them print more money, we would all be so much richer. The audacity of demanding people earn when we so easily can tax and print ourselves to prosperity. Bunch of fucking meanies.
If Ebola goes full epidemic here in the US and infects one of your friends or family. I will venture to guess even you will not want Obama to complete his 2nd term in office. So then why does he not quarantine the travel? Sounds to me like he is the one who is scientifically challenged.
Political correctness trumps all else. It tells us to ignore what we personally see, deny our reality for those who purport to be more intelligent, more enlightened, more moral than us regular "folks".
I think you are being even too kind to blame it on political correctness (except lapdog media coverage can always be blamed on that factor.) It actually seems to be a deliberate political gambit by the globalists, especially the PC technocratic variety, to make sure the American public is exposed to ebola in order to force the American taxpayers to cough up the tens of billions it will cost to contain the epidemic. The backlash would be huge, much larger than the expidiots in their closed circles ever imagined (if they thought at all). They are certainly praying now that no new cases pop up (even the athiests, just in case) because if ebola really does get going in the US, it's the blackest of swans that will blow up a lot of stuff, and no one will forget how it happened. The American people have been willing to bend over for every outrage, but I am guessing there is a limit.
Mr. Cole, the Democrats need to do a lot less preening about science, and a lot more encountering common sense.
As for Obama, by now it's clear that he barely even knows what is going on. White house policy is made like this: do the bidding of big money elites, until the polls erupt, then reverse course. (N.B. polls are erupting; time to reverse course.) Obama himself is barely in charge and clearly demoralized.
You have it exactly reversed, as usual.
Dems earn less than 50% of the college degrees Repubs do, both men and women, and this has been true every single year for over half a century. Dems also earn less money, pay less taxes, are more likely to cheat on their taxes, give less to charity, and are less tolerant of others than Repubs are. If the Dems could just keep up with Republicans there would be no national debt and social problems would be nil. -- Joseph Fried, "Democrats vs Republicans... Rhetoric vs Reality"
Dems are so retarded they need Nancy Pelosi to tell them what to do. Barrack and Michelle both lost their IL law licesnes for fraud. Throw in dufus Joe Biden and you have what passes for the 'Intellectual elite' of the dems.
they was robbed...
At the 20 year HS reunion a classmate told me he changed to the democrat party and I wanted to know if it was painful. He said filling out the paperwork, the interrogations, and the beatings were not so bad, but in the last room they stick this tube in your head and suck all your brains out.
The headache lasts for weeks.
Coming from the party of "the sky is falling unless we pay extortion money to Wall Street" globull warming cultists LOL
They're just gettting warmed up. I can't fucking believe people are so stupid as to render that sort of shit effective.
jus wait, dey was 70 peeps tried to save my uncle life in d'Dallas...d'bola be comin'...glad I gots in to d'airport b'for dey stop d'flights...
0, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13, 21, 34, 55, 89, 144,,,
I understand. But keeping a Party affiliation allows me to to vote in the primary for "the lesser of two weevils".
I unregistered myself as a Democrat in 2000 or early 2001, soon after I saw how the Dems acted after Bush won the election. No more, thank you. I have not been able to bring myself to actually register as a Republican...every time I have started to consider that a viable option they go and do something stupid.
I see no reason to believe I will join a political party again in my life. I've lost the ability to see how it would benefit me or anybody I know.
So you have come to the conclusion that drinking the hemlock as opposed to the strychnine is not so effective. Smart man.
There is not much difference between the two parties.....just different shopping lists....both will spend us blind.
The whole registering by party thing is still confusing. They can still vote for whoever they want to so why do they need to name a party? Is there some kind of psychology thing going on here. If someone has a theory please post it. I'm sure there is some kind of logic to it.
In most states you have to declare a party affiliation to vote for party candidates in a primary election. Otherwise, you can only vote for the issues and levys. Hope that helps.

Ebola-snakes On A Plane
"I have had it with these goddamn Ebola-snakes on this goddamn plane!"
They are already doing it. It's "The Strain". The victims go home to their loved ones and kill them, which turns them into more victims who then go out and kill their friends, and on and on....
With the Republican party being the same criminal organization as the Democratic party in mind I find it fascinating to watch this ad. Because as you sate the obvious, that closing the borders from these countries was the only responsible and correct action, progressives in this ad have the Chutzpah to blame the RESULT of open borders on another globalist lobbygroup and on a fact that has zero to do with the spreading of Ebola.
What really shows the criminal irresponsibility of the globalist regime which the makers of this ad are a part of, is the fact, that today business travels thanks to video-conferencing in most cases can be substituted very well. Also to the benefit of less pollution. There is no need for airtravel to Africa as long as the desease is not contained.
But maybe their criminal irresponsibility is just part of a much worse crime according to their strategy of PROBLEM - REACTION - SOLUTION? Maybe certain forces WANT Ebola to be spread in a pandemic worldwide?
CDC Director Frieden broke protocol and did not quarantine visitors from the affected region of an extremely lethal virus with a vaguely understood mode of transmission and no vaccine.
Frieden doesn't behave with the sense of a rank and file 19th century doctor working at Ellis Island.
Yep.
"Frieden" is German for peace and "Friedhof" is German for graveyard, so Frieden brings the "peace of the graveyard".
And again we ask, where is the most invisble man in Washington DC? Where is the Surgeon General?
The fun part of this is, they are setting up an entire bureaucracy (the CDC) as the "go-to agency" for all things ebola and failing at it miserably. Apparatchiks can't save the teeming masses with speech's and good will, another death knell for statism and its payroll? Can Boris come riding in as the White Knight and save Sweet Polly Purebread from the mean old Ebola Dragon?...lol.
Stay tuned ;-)
Amen.
Just like Brownie and FEMA after Katrina.
Actually Brownie wanted to move fast but was overridden by DHS. The guy with the peekaboo machines for stripping folks in the airports was the correct asshole in the Katrina fiasco. Lay it at dual citizen Michael Chertoff's feet.
Aw, son, nice fish.
The beauty of this nmewn is Ebola has no respect for their bureaucracy.
These people think you can control something that is 970nm in length and is hypothocized as little as 150 virions being infectious. This is a Bambi vs Godzilla moment and those of us that understand this will have a chance to survive it. Those who respect " authority" will be meat.
"Listen, and understand. Ebola is out there. It can't be bargained with. It can't be reasoned with. It doesn't feel pity, or remorse, or fear. And it absolutely will not stop, ever, until you are dead."
So have a nice day CDC idiot assholes.
Miffed
Correct as usual M.
This..."Those who respect " authority" will be meat."
Many people don't know that "authority figures" are shipping illegal aliens everywhere from the southern border due to "space constraints". All fine and good as far as alleviating the singular focus of...space constraints...not so much with TB or a hundred other diseases no longer common or alien to here.
Respect mah authoritah!
Well actually, no...they're idiots and can only think on one level.
Thank you Miffed Micro----Gov't is obsolete--
How long after we're declared overdue and can expect a rescue?
...
17 days??
Where is the surgeon general indeed. There is an acting surgeon general currently….
"The Surgeon General is the overall head of the Commissioned Corps, a 6,500-member cadre of health professionals who are on call 24 hours a day, and can be dispatched by the Secretary of HHS or the Assistant Secretary for Health in the event of a public health emergency."
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_Public_Health_Service_Commiss...
The real question is why are these guys not setup to fly all the gear needed to PROPERLY isolate an ebola case anywhere in the US? Their mission has been well established, why does the CDC even exist for that matter.
Funny, I had posed that question many times during numerous CDC missteps in my professional life. I worked at a lab 20 years ago that did an internal study of MRSA colonization of the healthcare staff and came up with a fantastic number. When we contacted the CDC with this fact. They called it interesting but had no recommendation. They criticized US for doing the study because we had no plan for the outcome if it occurred. This did not instill in me much respect. So blaming others is not without precedence. Now they have an accepted BSL 4 protocol that is not even being remotely followed and are telling us BSL 2 labs we can handle it if proper procedures are followed! Ok, is it just me or does anyone see a problem here?
Here's my take. They know without a doubt this is an impossible situation. They are counting on a few hot spots that will have a certain casualty number by basic epidemiological modeling. These people are being written off. Their display of calm and control is to prevent a mass exodus of healthcare workers by an attempt to allay fears. I honestly don't think they have any idea what to do if the unthinkable occurs.
I will not play their orchestrated game. I will not obey. I will not harm my friends or family and the rumblings I here now indicate others are waking up to this fact as well.
Miffed
yea, well of all the people they are trying to bullshit I would think the medical Profession is the last one that would fall for it, I give this about 30 days before hospitals are working on skeleton crews and dumbed down volunteers. Probably bring in thousands of "experienced" workers from dark africa to staff the halls of the death suites.
Miffed- I got nothing, but your husband must be one lucky man to have you as his wife. Your posts are the epitome of grace and class.
Well, my husband does have to put up with a lot of craziness. Sometimes I do get a little distracted tilting at windmills, painting myself in numerous corners, fighting my management with never ending obstreperous glee. Mr often says I am the most fun, entertaining and the most exhausting person to be around. He certainly has patience when my mind is firing nonstop. ZH gives me a great avenue to stop and try to collect and express my thoughts cohesively. This is what you see here. He has to live with the other parts few here have witnessed and maybe a bit surprised.
Don't sell yourself short. You may be the fortunate one. ;-)
Miffed
and humility! they dont make too many or your model these days, unfortunately.
He's an Obama bureaucrat, what do we expect?
Nailed it. + 1000
Hell, even Nigeria banned travel to and from the infected nations. Now if only they would give me my money back...
that's a bit of a stretch...as i recall, the only people blaming reagan for AIDS were those who contracted it from him. legend has it that reagan personally infected the entire castro district. the man was prolific!
dr. gallo (and others of his ilk) are responsible for AIDS -- amorica's foremost authority!...and then there's that theory about AIDS not really being a virus but more a condition effected by long-term drug use and other 'social' factors. if memory serves, when they were attempting to pad the AIDS #s in africa, 'virus-load' was never even tested. it was based on four vague criteria, and if the 'AIDS victim' met two of them, ta-da! another statistical boost for funding research for a disease that can be easily avoided. just foreswear sodomy and don't share needles with infected sodomites.
but i'm past all that shit now, it's time to start blaming reagan for ebola.
voodoo ebolanomics bitchez,

Gay marriage! Puck your chicken!
lol...yeah, dude, i had it in mind to run an impish lil scheme. as apolitical as we are, certain names are just sacrosanct around here -- reagan being chief among them. hell, i like reagan, too...but are we gonna canonize him for being amorica's pitch-man in the whole brilliantly marketed 'american renewal' thing? look, guys, reagan was a good guy, sincerely hated commies, loved his wife, never kicked his dog, perfectly mannered, always reliable for a thank you note (great taste in stationary, too), but Thomas Jefferson he was not. high-intelligence makes some red-state amoricans nervous; and it makes neocons terrified. if reagan could figure out what those boys were brewing in the basement, he would'a stewed them in their juices. but reagan liked to get along, and especially with his staff (which berthed the neocons).
sorry for toyin with your idol, guys...and i promise to someday do it again.
all the same, i guess i'll take conservatives who're nervous around high-intelligence over 'progressives' who're comically convinced of their intellectual superiority.

The reality is that the ad will work. How else do you explain the half illiterate people who get in Congress today? It's certainly not on merit.

We all know D.C. is "fubar" on both sides, but Zero owns this debacle after 6.5 years.
make that 3/3rds, or did you miss the judicial branch take over the legislative's duties and did them the favor of rewriting obamacare and bypassing all that stupid debate about what it even was or how much it would actually cost?
they make the "correct" choice each time, its probably given to them in a manilla envelope with their bribe cash and a note saying "make it happen quickly or we have some things people might like to know about you"

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention will see an 8.2 percent budget increase for fiscal 2014, thanks to a $1.1 trillion spending bill announced by Congress Jan. 13.
This influx of cash will raise the CDC budget to $6.9 billion, which is $567 million more than it received in 2013. This is more than the agency anticipated, because the president’s fiscal year 2014 budget request for it was just $6.6 billion — a decrease of $270 million from fiscal 2012.
Of course, until a few days ago the CDC was saying that Ebola wasn't very contagious and hence not a serious danger.
They have no clue how they look when they put this crap out. To politicize this is beyond tacky.
Does anyone in any position of power have any decency or integrity at all?
They really have no clue how they look doing this or they would not touch it with a ten foot pole.

short answer...NO!
long answer...HELL NO!

(funded by The Agenda Project -
Apparently not...
The communist cares not how they appear to others. They care about The Agenda. This is all they care about. We have lost some friendships because they decided to take the "progressive" path. For those who don't know, around ninety years ago communists in the US realized that the word "communist" carried a lot of baggage, much of it bad. So they began calling themselves "progressives". This is a fact.
Some of the so called, "progressives" I know, really don't know that, particularly upper income ones (who are not the "elite"). To say it a different way, they do not appreciate how their logics do not hang together. They are rather oblivious, taking their tax breaks, investing their money, screaming about how the government takes too much and at the same time wanting to increase spending for so many different programs and services. I don't think they think of it as communism. I think some elite may damn well know.
I used to be a liberal. I feel angst about the idea that there are times when you give someone a break, they take it, run with it, say thanks, and become productive citizens. I used to be very poor and got out of it. I do think big govt. is in our bedrooms, courtrooms, and boardrooms waaaay too much. But there is that piece of me that knows some folks deserve a break and would benefit from it. But I don't think others should be forced to pay for that break.
Take Ebola. If you believe it (I know some don't but just follow here) and someone is too poor to get treatment, it endangers all of us. I am mostly Libertarian/Independent in my views, but I can't get a clean bead on how to be sure resources are there for those who really need to be tended to.
I last voted Dem in 1992. I now have no where to cast a vote with any confidence.
I was at my farthest liberal soon after I started working the night shift in the Emergency Department of the teaching hospital that was essentially the county hospital of Sacramento. I encountered people I'd never interacted with and suddenly saw living examples of why a much broader social safety net was needed.
As time passed, the regulars who owed millions of dollars for frequent visits -- some necessary, some less so got less sympathetic and more simply pathetic. As I sent them off with a tech for their regular de-lousing I would think there had to be a better use of Medi-Cal dollars and certainly, of the Emergency Department itself.
Two years later, I was ready to move on before I got too hard and crusty, the way many of my co-workers were. But I was a lot more conservative than I'd ever been.
We have been on a similar path, though I am in the social sciences, not nursing. Very similar.
In case you haven't noticed, ideologues of all stripes care only about the agenda. It's part of the Rethuglican's playbook too. Just look at the way they all use the same RNC approved words and memes and force their party members to sign onto their agenda, etc... But hey, at least they're not communists, insane religious zealots a lot of times, sure, but not communists.
What's the difference?
That was my point, but it appeantly flew right over at least three people's heads on here...but that's not really too hard to do, considering.
You ... realise that if adverts didn't work, they wouldn't exist.
There are a lot of stupid people out there.
How could they get into a position of power if they had any decency or integrity?
"Does anyone in any position of power have any decency or integrity at all?"
No.
I've noted a few other times, I think the upper echelon of the political class is living in a distorted reality and actually believes the shit they're putting out, instead of cynically taking advantage (though I am sure behind the scenes there are such people.) This is the political thought equivalent of many generations of inbreeding -- they're so damaged they literally can't see how fucked up they are, and everyone around them agrees with their thinking.
Just imagine what the shock is going to be like when reality intrudes, the government collapses, and they bark orders at some armed remnant group of the middle class and they have dozens of rifles pointed in their direction.
The Sociopathic Class. I think you have something here. Alt. take, The Narcissistic Class. Or maybe I spelled that wrong, The Narcicystic Class. It is an alien way of knowing.
One. more. time.
(I know I sound like a broken record here, but people keep commenting on this). Governments sole job is to ensure government continues and that it expands. Kinda like the 'bugs' in question here.

Beaten to the punch again by the Democrats. Republicans should be the ones making a political issue out of Ebola, but they don't play to win, it seems.
The republicans are the stupid party.
The democrats are the stupid and evil party.
Republicans are a zombie political party. They just don't know they are dead.
I disagree. No one should be politicizing these deaths. No one. It threatens us all. We are here making videos and hashtagging (admittedly a good answer to this crap) while ROME IS GETTING INFECTED.
Watch that stupidity as if it was your family member that was sick (or dead). Watch that stupidity as if you were the infected nurse (who has also been blamed) in Dallas. This is a surreal nightmare.
Back in July Alan Grayson went off the reservation in a subversive act of party disobedience and spoke his mind...
Rep. Alan Grayson (D-Fla.) is calling on the Obama administration to impose a travel ban on three West African nations in response to a growing Ebola virus outbreak.
The House Foreign Affairs Committee member wants the State Department to bar citizens of Guinea, Liberia and Sierra Leone from entering the United States, including any foreign travelers who have visited those countries in the previous 90 days. He also requested that the ban be expanded to any nation that reports an originating case of the virus, and that restrictions only be lifted 90 days after the last reported case.
http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2014/07/30/alan-grayson-ebola_n_5633977.html
If Obama had listened all the national anxiety to-date over ebola simply would not have occured. In the next couple of weeks a travel ban will be imposed but only because it's an election year...
Unfortunately you can't fix STUPID (or CORRUPT)
Alan Grayson goes off the reservation frequently, which is why he is so valuable. (NOT sarcasm.)
Agreed. The need for independant thought has never been greater..
Why wouldn't they politicize it? Isn't that exactly what the incessant wars have done? Bah Bah blind sheep with their yellow ribbons displaying never ending support & patriotism.
There's only 3 things that get most people's attention in our age of raging exploitation:

I know someone in the military going over to be part of the 4000 or so in Africa. Lets just say there will be a stigma about him when or if he comes back if even on a subconcsious level.. Can only imagine what his wife and daughters are and will be thinking about. And to think some jackasses lower it down to picking up some political points.

The Nazi finance minister who did the calculations to determine the minimum caloric intake to maximum labor output before death from malnourishment and physical exhaustion weighed into the stream of projected available slave labor for the Nazi concentration canmp system. The only Nazi to be acquitted at Nuremberg primarily because he had to many potentially embarrassing financial connecting to the likes of Averill Harriman a d Prescott Bush. What a guy! Left Germany, went to Egypt and converted to Islam. No coincidence there move along, move along!
Schacht renegotiated what terms he could of the Versailles Treaty and was instrumental in bringing Germany out of the Weimar inflation and the economic depression of the 1930's. He believed in international trade but insisted on the trade working in Germany's favor. Germans still have a talent for doing that; perhaps Shacht's legacy.
He wasn't a Nazi, nor was he a philo-semite. He was arrested by the Gestapo in July of 1944 and spent the rest of the war in KZ camps. He lost his only son on the Eastern Front. He was tried repeatedly by the Allies after the war but never convicted due to the lack of evidence proving any guilt in the committing of war crimes. He was never a convert to Islam, nor was he a nutritionist with any interest in the caloric intake of camp inmates.
Give sources to the contrary if you have them, other than Alex Jones.
In the early ‘70’s I had the great pleasure of meeting Bernard Metzler, the man who was originally charged with preparing the prosecution’s case against Schacht. He asked to be removed from that charge after complaining to Chief Prosecutor Roberts that he was coming under pressure from other member of the staff to drop the charges “for political reasons.” He also stated that in conversations he had with Roberts and some of the judges after the trial, that Schacht was acquitted because “the political pressures were to great.” He further said that in his mind he interpreted that to mean threats, but he didn’t think it could ever be proven. Schacht’s personal and financial connections to FDR’s Ambassador to the USSR, Averell Harriman, and Prescott Bush were to numerous and ugly to withstand scrutiny at the time. Harriman was too powerful and too well placed within the Truman administration.
Schacht fully endorsed military agression in the persuit of "Lebensraum" which was part and parcel of the concentration camp system. He remained "Minister Without Portfolio" until 1943. After his release from prison where he served only one year of an eight year sentence he formed a new bank and served as an advisor to Gamel Abdul Nasser government in Egypt.
Got it! Republicans made Western Africans eat bush meat!
