EBOLA IN THE USA

If I listened to this paranoid talk radio stuff all the time, I would probably be as crazy as Isobars and NW: http://www.nationalmemo.com/endorse-right-wing-ebola-playbook/

This is something like the 24th Ebola outbreak. You can actually get factual information about Ebola, and the role that government needs to play in Africa and the United States. For example: http://www.dw.de/how-uganda-stopped-previous-ebola-outbreaks/a-17869469 or https://web.stanford.edu/group/virus/filo/eboz.html

But the right wing loonies see the game changer here is Obama, and the fact that his father came from Africa. Of course they play this card, fully aware of the racial meta-messages. Blame everything, from Pandora's box on, on Obama. Not on the funding cuts that slowed progress towards a vaccine.

Some crazy people in this country.

It's all about blaming the President. Statistically, I am 3X more likely to win the powerball than catch ebola. They blamed high gas prices on him and I just filled my tank at $2.95. It goes on and on. Anything bad to come across the wires is his fault within 24 hours on Fox. It's really kind of fun to watch.

Statistically you're more likely to get shot, but it's people with Ebola that kill people and not the Ebola virus. Where's the outrage there? Oh silly me, the constitution....

Yes those open borders do bring in some germs! Especially Canada. 5000 miles of germ people, free to come and go. Maine coast brings in quite a few with 4600 miles of coastline as well. Just row your boat in. Are oceans open borders? Maybe we should build a seawall off all coasts, and a great wall of Canada along the entire 5000 miles. Tourists could take pictures. Oh, I forgot about the Alaska border, Oregon coast, California and especially those pesky little mexican germs. They are the worst. But then again, why not just fly into JFK? I am sure we could defend everything with enough government agencies.

Let's just station a special agent every 100 feet. Or spend 3 trillion on fences. Small government folks will love that. Bard has completely lost his mind.

How many shootings yesterday? Cops, school kids, and I'm sure some dope dealers in Chicago. The NRA and the right wing must be so proud.
