Connecting Logical Dots

Connecting Logical Dots

Kids love connecting the dots, the same, simple game many adults can’t quite figure out especially when the dots make sense.

Well, there are no real dots to connect in our illogical world but try connecting some logical dots anyway–without cheating or the Thought Police will come and take you away! 

POLITICAL DOTS:

President Barack Hussein Obama is an abject failure yet he still has a 40% approval rating, albeit among low-information voters.  Is his continuing if relative popularity connected to the fact those voters would vote for him if he hated America?
  
EBOLA DOTS

The ebola virus is spreading like the plague it is yet America is being told not to panic since the president isn’t panicking at all.  Are all the warnings the product of someone’s wild imagination and subservience of bureaucrats?

America Can't Trust Thomas Frieden's CDC

America Can't Trust Thomas Friedan's CDC

Among my favorite Ronald Reagan quotations are, “Politics is supposed to be the second-oldest profession. I have come to realize that it bears a very close resemblance to the first” and “The nine most terrifying words in the English language are: ‘I’m from the government and I’m here to help.’”  

Without suggesting that someone is a whore or a governmental waste of protoplasm, both observations are all too applicable to the former Commissioner of ultra-liberal Mayor Michael Bloomberg’s New York City Department of Health and Mental Hygiene, Thomas R. Frieden.

Since 2009, MD-MPH Friedan has been the Director of the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and Administrator of the Agency for Toxic Substances and Disease Registry (ATSDR), federal public agencies of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services responsible for controlling health threats from infectious diseases, responding to emergencies, and battling the leading causes of suffering and death in our nation and around the world, according to the CDC website.
 
The ATSDR website says it “serves the public by using the best science, taking responsive public health actions, and providing trusted health information to prevent harmful exposures and diseases related to toxic substances.”

The chief problems with Friedan, the CDC, and the ATSDR are that all have failed miserably in controling much if any of the suffering and  fatalities related to the deadly Ebola virus now on the precipice of rampaging across America.

It seems some things–such as base politics, political correctness, and gross ambition–take precedence over duty, honor, and competence for some people.  In fact, for all his cheerleading and bluster on the Ebola issue, . . . (Read more at http://www.genelalor.com/blog1/?p=39276.)

Ebola--Obama's Deadly Politically-Correct Disease

Ebola--Obama's Deadly Politically-Correct Disease

Over a month ago, I published two articles in this space on the subject of the Ebola virus, the first titled, “Ebola–Obama’s Latest Gift to America” and the second a few weeks later titled, “Ebola Spreading Uncontrollably.”

I intended the first piece as a sarcastic indictment of President Barack Hussein Obama and his administration’s ineptitude in dealing with a potential pandemic and concluded by writing, “The poor guy may just stay home in our White House, watch CNN, pray to Allah, and gleefully watch the body count.”

In the second I noted that, “To suggest the Ebola virus could very well and not in the distant future, reach and infect perhaps millions in America may be unnecessarily alarmist but such a suggestion could also reflect a reasonable doubt that Ebola researchers and physicians completely grasp its dangers or, for that matter, whether information as to its proliferation would even be publicized to suppress panic.”
Unfortunately but predictably, both articles are proving to have been all too prophetic and, though the causes are complex, their validity can be attributed mostly to the president’s obsession with political correctness and the attendant P.C. corollaries of self-defensive insecurities that supplement them. 

How else do we explain Obama’s repeatedly denigrating the critical interests of the nation he supposedly represents in service to foreign people and countries who present major threats and dangers to America but by an innate fear of offending them? 

Now that Brtain’s Daily Mail has dared to front-page the news that most people already expected, namely that Anthony Banbury, the Secretary General’s Special  Representative, has admitted a “nightmare” prospect that the Ebola virus could  easily become airborne instead of only being spread by bodily fluids as heretofore thought, compounded by officials at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention refusal to divulge any details on precise steps being adopted to contain the disease, suspicions are increasing that panic has set in. 

None of that news will influence President Obama’s P.C. approach toward controlling its spread but it all can mean that the simple act of breathing may soon become sufficient to communicate the most dangerous epidemic seen on our planet in many years.

The Roots of Barack Obama's Selective Crises

The Roots of Barack Obama's Selective Crises

From the outset, when Barack Hussein Obama first announced his candidacy for the presidency of the United States in 2007 and through Election Day, Americans of every political stripe have had serious, if often belated, misgivings regarding a candidate with minimal qualifications and experience with all of two years as a U.S. senator presumptuously vying for the highest office in the land and the position as leader of the Free World. 

Unfortunately and wrongly, those concerns were frequently dismissed as baseless reflections of racial prejudice against an African-American.

A few days before that election, liberal Charlie Rose made no reference to that canard but astoundingly admitted to liberal Tom Brokaw on national television that, “I don’t know what Barack Obama’s worldview is.”  Brokaw responded, “No, I don’t either” and added that, “We don’t know a lot about Barack Obama and the universe of his thinking about foreign policy” or the people advising him. 

In essence, two of Obama ‘s staunchest supporters were conceding that their chosen presidential candidate was a total enigma.  

In short order, although to my knowledge neither Rose nor Brokaw have ever reiterated their qualms, they and the American people have learned a great deal about Obama’s thinking on many issues and about his advisers and we are learning more and more every day about his thinking on both foreign and domestic affairs. 

Many of his ideologically-driven thoughts and actions have reinforced the view that Obama was woefully and dangerously unprepared for his office.  

For example, just recently, America’s commander in chief decided that the deadly Ebola virus currently confined mostly to west Africa represents a far greater threat to America and the world than any other problems including ISIS terrorists who have vowed to visit their murderous movement on our country and the rest of Western civilization.

There exists no reasonable doubt that Ebola represents a significant danger to Americans’ health and safety but the virus  hardly poses an imminent threat anywhere near comparable to ISIS.

In the unlikely event Obama is right in his comparative threat assessment of Ebola, which the UN Security Council has also called a danger to world peace–without singling out the virus as the most pressing world problem–he felt it merited dispatching at least 3,000 combat troops to Liberia to set up treatment centers in lieu of sending them to Iraq despite the fact they are trained for combat and not for construction missions.

Likewise, Obama has determined that in order to crush ISIS in the Mid East, “boots on the ground” are unnecessary and that America’s potent air power, in conjunction with assistance from our coalition allies, is sufficient to wipe out 32,000 ISIS terrorists.

The problems with his “strategy” are manifold, . . . (Read more at http://www.genelalor.com/blog1/?p=39120.)

Ebola, Obama's Latest Gift to America

Ebola, Obama's Latest Gift to America

 

As if exposing Americans to millions of illegal aliens carrying and transmitting everything from tuberculosis to polio to any number of other contagious diseases didn’t sufficiently demonstrate Barack Hussein Obama’s contempt for the health, safety and well being of our country, his administration has now introduced the deadly Ebola virus to our shores.

The symptoms of the Ebola virus disease (EVD), aka Ebola hemorrhagic fever (EHF), include high fevers, throat and muscle pains, severe headaches, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, decreased liver and kidney functioning, possible bleeding issues, and a mortality rate ranging from 50% to 90%.

Despite the unfortunate fact that there is no vaccine or cure for the dreaded disease and even though the World Health Organization said Friday that it was spreading wildly in Africa, the Obama-Kerry State Department authorized the transfer from Liberia to Atlanta’s Emory University Hospital of two American missionaries, Dr. Kent Brantly and Nancy Writebol, who have been diagnosed with Ebola.

Ebola victim Dr. Brantly arrived in Georgia on Saturday and Writebol will follow shortly.

Emory is more than ready for its infected patients and the head of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) reassuringly said last week that, ”Ebola poses little risk to the U.S. general population.”

Of course, since the CDC’s reassurance came before State’s magnanimous, humanitarian gesture on America’s behalf and since Ebola has an incubation period of up to three weeks prior to the appearance of symptons, the contention by CDC spokesperson Stephan Monroe that, “No Ebola cases have been reported in the United States” is totally irrelevant.

For their part, the good people at Emory University Hospital employed a Gulfstream jet paid for by the generous Samaritan’s Purse charity and equipped with a collapsible tent designed to prevent the escape of infectious germs and have prepared an isolation unit for patients exposed to certain serious communicable diseases. 

The area is separate from the main hospital facility and Emory officials assured the public on Friday that there is zero risk that Ebola could contaminate anyone outside their secure unit.

What could possibly go wrong?  After all, the Obama administration, the same people who created the abomination of Obamacare and the chaos on our southern border, is overseeing everything!

More to the point, what was the necessity of our government needlessly introducing an incurable disease like Ebola into continental America when the patients could be treated, not as easily yet feasibly, in a safer location far from our cities? . . .
