    i see it as unacceptable that the gop takes this crisis and tries to use it for political gain and fundraising

    0bama has only one idea and that is how to gain political advantage and this will end badly for our troops. Ifbarry is right and it goes ari born then our troops will have it all over them and we have to bring them back here no matter the risk to the nation as we saw when 0bama released "5" terrorists for one deserter.



    You are the one that said that you are more likely to be killed in a car and that number is about 34k per year so you expect something near that number or you would have mentioned like lightening.

    It was in DC but it got so hungry that it caught a bus south.

    Nothing to eat at the DNC.

    Because you refuse to see humanity for what the whole of humanity represents.

    The people of west Africa are suffering from Ebola because of their life styles.

    The people in the ME are terrorists because they a genetically disposed to hate - kind of like liberals.

    America was once the strongest nation of the planet because we were builders. Unfortunately we gave women the vote and they voted for liberal fools.

    Well the flippant reply (though still somewhat accurate) is that when all you have as a tool that's proven to be reliable in a really impressive way is a hammer, then after a while everything starts to look like a nail to you. Or to put it another way, humans are predators and so violence is a first instinct even though the tenets of civilization struggle to make it a last resort. Politicians are usually among the most arrogant and aggressive of any population; and therefore the least introspective-minded on the whole. So when they reach a certain level of power and influence they look at this marvelous resource filled with these great big gleaming hammers and to their eyes they spy almost nothing but an endless expanse of easily whacked . . . nails. Then too we have to take into account that it's very rare that our various media outlets encounter a prospect for war that doesn't give them all these nifty leg tingles.

    We as a world were fortunate if this happened in India it would have been a massive world health nightmare this is only spread by body fluids but is very infectious India would be most favorable for Ebola, Africa poses restraints like a dry climate, we have not seen if this is water-borne for example.

    Did you know that that link refutes your argument?
    Oh wait, by "being worried about Ebola", you meant the right wanted to break off all contact with Africa, you didn't mean they wanted to do something about it........
