So it makes it here, which should not have been surprising, yet people who I thought were level headed are in full on panic mode. I suspect with another reported case they will be barricaded in their living rooms waiting for the zombie Apocalypse.

No, way this works is, we let any idiot fly in from connecting flights all over Africa and Europe even when we KNOW some of them flew into/out of Liberia, the ground zero for this ebola outbreak. In another week we'll start seeing more cases and of course, once again, this administration - the smartest of the smartest - will be "shocked" and "surprised" by all of this. Obama will blame the CDC for not telling him how serious it was; the Surgeon General will get dragged up to Capitol Hill to answer for the administration's complete ineptness.
Some people will die as a result of his negligence and indifference.
But not to worry, things will get steadily worse while he figures out a strategy and you can be sure by election day there will be CDC checkpoints all over red states and blue states in contention. This time you will be able to keep your doctor because you won't be able to go anywhere else on your own. Day after election day it'll all be reigned back in and the coast will be clear. Saved once again by the mighty O.

Dr Ben Carson has suggested (as have I) that with every crisis this "inept" regime creates, the more the likelihood there will be no elections in 2016. If this Ebola planting by our own government takes off, which it will, they'll have every component in place long before then.

Shoot, by then it'll be politically incorrect to vote anything but D anyways, with penalties to include IRS audits, DHS investigations, being placed on a no-fly list, and labelled a domestic terrorist/hate monger.
The only hope is to claim illegal immigrant status in which case you will be given a new driver's license, registered to vote, given a ride to the polls, and several thousand dollars worth of benefits, not to mention free college for your kids.

Whatdayamean 'by then'? Or have I skipped back in time somehow? Well, my words were actually "long before then", but I guess that can mean the same. The fact that so many STILL take comfort and continue to have any faith whatsoever in a government proven over and over to be devious, incompetent and politically opportunistic with crises of any severity unnerves me no end. A great potential for a sheep-to-slaughter event is in the offing. |

I'm beginning to think the best thing for the sheep is to give them the slaughter they seem to want so badly. Every other time in history some despot seized the reins it resulted in massive casualties to the population. Once they start making lamb chops a few of them might wake up, if not, they'll become those chops.

Whatdayamean 'by then'? Or have I skipped back in time somehow? {summoning his best DiNiro voice} You talkin' ta ME? You TALKIN' TA ME?  Yeah, it is already so that it's non-PC, but the penalty phase hasn't shifted into high gear yet. So far only some Tea Party non-profit groups have had the IRS down on them, and we can't know the extent of it because our federal investigative arm doesn't know the difference between a mail server and a PC hard disk drive. I'm thinking seriously about going that illegal alien route. It's the best thing since witness protection, and you don't even have to rat out any mob guys to get all the bennies. I have to renew my driver's license next year and now you have to have 17 forms of ID, if you're married you have to have a certified copy of your marriage certificate. WHY? WTH does the DMV care if you're married or not, and what does that have to do with driving on public roadways? Also, the fee has been upped, it used to be $12 but now I think it's 20 or 28 bucks. Course if you're an illegal alien, your license is free and you don't have to give ANY information you don't want to. Guess I'll have to change my username back to OHE, only this time it will stand for Orlando Hernandez Escobar so it will match my new driver's license. |

Speaking of not letting a good crisis go to waste, why don't they simply plant the idea in the Liberians heads that a cure for ebola was just discovered in northern Syria?

Well when you renew maybe you should say you renounce your citizenship and are here illegally and change your name to something like Abdul Ghafaar Aasim , you'll be golden.

Can they be this stupid? I've started wondering this the first day the WH refused to ban flights from Plague-frica; How do you keep people from the polls? Yep, import an epidemic, all the time claiming they have it under control and there's no chance of an epidemic. The sane won't believe or trust the government, as well they shouldn't, and avoid public places...And that 30-some precent I mentioned in another thread WILL believe the government and the dims can win by sacrificing whatever number of "enthusiastic supporters" they need to win.
Now they're passing these first few cases around the country, shipping Nat'l Guard troops into ground zero, and continuing to allow any and all from west Africa who want to fly into our international airports. They have imaginary "protocols" in place, belied by the simple reaction of healthcare workers, the whole time claiming the idiotic idea that they know what they're doing...
What scares me is, I think they do...

Don't worry. The new Plague Czar is a specialist in pandemics... er /dem hanging chad defense lawyer/lobbyist/partisan yes man/scapegoat, what could possibly go wrong from here? He after all handled the dispersion of stimulous money (i.e Solyndra...hello?), so its handled.
BTW isn't there a dancing with the stars or survivor on right now?
Why they believe they need a micro manager in this situation is simply inconceivable to anyone who can deduce their way off an escalator. Did the GOP really think they were going to appoint someone who would handle anything?

The short answer is not only can they be this stupid, they ARE this stupid.
They don't have any protocols forgoshsakes, that's just mediaspeak designed to give the reporters something to fluff their stories with; a buzzword. Were they real reporters, they would be demanding to see the protocols more ardently than the mayor of Houston wants to see sermons dealing with LGBT issues. Reporters might ask where said protocols came from, who made them, and who's putting their professional ass on the line to say they absolutely work?
I used to think this administration is nefarious and willing to cross whatever legal lines they need to to accomplish their goals. Now I think it doesn't matter how nefarious they THINK they are, they're just flat out incompetent to do anything. Anything. That inverse Midas Touch of Obola's simply haunts them; no matter what they set out to do, if he's driving the bus it will turn to sh*t sure as the sun came up this morning. I ask Dem friends to name two things he's done in 6 years, and I ask for two because they will always say "he" got Bin Laden, as though he tracked Bin Laden and offed the terrorist bastage himself. No one can name a thing except for Obamacarte, and they can't explain why he built a system to help insure 30 million uninsured by causing over 58 million to lose their existing plans. S'plain me that one, eh?
The problem we have is the administration put unqualified dolts in positions of responsibility and all they did was pose for cameras and tell congress they need more money. They didn't have any plan. Now we have an Ebola "czar," I guess to take the place of the lady in the CDC who we've been paying big bucks to be in charge of epidemics and outbreaks of diseases. And this new czar's qualifications? Doctor? No. Medical field experience? Nope. Biologist, epidemic expert? Naw. We got a guy whose medical experience is he took Tylenol for a headache several times. He's going to tell the whole nation how Ebola will be handled.
Any bets the IMT (Inverse Midas Touch) will turn this entire effort to sh*t? That's where my money goes.
These guys would be fearsome if they could actually do anything right but they can't so they are nothing more than a laughingstock. And they criticized Bush 20 times worse for nothing near as utterly incompetent as this fool. Guess that says a lot about what the country has become.

They may be criminally incompetent, which in the end brings the same result as conspiring to damage us. I don't think they actually set out and plan it, but I do think they have a mindset and fundamental principle that always goes to what is the worst for us in favor of other things, like perception.
Literally being communists at heart and in action while claiming public disapproval of communists.
Yeah, look at Bush and Katrina where FEMA really was doing something albeit slowly compared to now whee they are flat out refusing to do something. And from the left, crickets.
