You think the Obama
Administration wants to “Change,” err destroy America? Well, if you weren’t
sure by now, you just got your answer – Yes!
Opening up the southern
border to communicable diseases, Mexican Drug Cartels, and Islamic Jihadist wasn't quite doing it. So
now Mr. Obama takes the unprecedented decision to bring Ebola, the world's most
deadly communicable disease, to the United States and the North American
Continent.
Why? For the purpose,
we were told, of "potentially" saving two U.S. citizens. Who on
arrival, are not near death's door, but are in “serious but stable condition.”
In fact, video of the first to arrive, Dr. Kent Brantly, showed him not on a
stretcher, but walking in a hazmat suit from the ambulance that transported him
to Emory University Hospital, Atlanta, Georgia. He is the first person, ever,
to be infected with the Ebola virus to be on U.S. soil.
But Government
officials and health experts tell us not to be worried. CDC Director, Dr. Tom
Frieden, explained the infected patients pose
little risk to others. Then why have over one hundred health workers in Africa,
in biohazard suits been infected?
Dr. Frieden
further proffers that "these are American citizens. American citizens have
a right of return.” From the
Director of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), a federal
agency of the Department of Health and Human Services, whose primary mission is
to protect the health and safety of the nation through disease prevention and
control, this is an alarming statement. In other words, an American citizen has
the “right” to return to the United States with the world’s deadliest
communicable disease.
The CDC, it
should be noted, was originally an agency within the U.S. Public Health Service
(USPHS). The USPHS was founded 1798. Its earliest mission was the care of sick
and disabled seamen in USPHS established hospitals. But more significantly to
the matter at hand, in 1878, the USPHS mission was expanded to take on control
of infectious diseases, including quarantine, which previously had been a state
function. As immigration increased, in the late 19th century, the
USPHS took on the responsibility.
Yet today, the
Director of the CDC proclaims that a U.S. citizen has a “right” to return to
the United States, to a hospital of his/her choosing with the world’s deadliest
communicable disease – Ebola. No Government quarantine required.
Today we learn that a Tennessee doctor, Alan Jamison
MD, working at the same Liberian clinic
as Dr. Kent Brantly, returned home to Morristown, Tenn., after he was
evacuated from Liberia by the aid group he was volunteering (for). Dr. Jamison,
a retired pediatrician, says he's "well" and asymptomatic.
Apparently, Dr. Jamison has put himself in quarantine in his home. I guess the
Obama Administration did not get the memo on who is responsible in this county
to quarantine an individual for communicable diseases. That was not meant as a
joke.
Finally, today, Dr. Frieden lectured the American public that he ‘certainly
hopes people’s fear doesn’t trump their compassion.’
Where have we heard that “compassion” thing recently? Yes, in conjunction with
the massive illegal immigration on our Nation’s southern border. I wonder if
the Obama Administration is following U.S. Code, Section 34.3 of
42 CFR Part 34[1]? Should not
Dr. Frieden be concerned that thousands of illegal immigrants from Central
America are not only on American soil, but are being dispersed to all parts of
the United States?
Still, we are told not
to worry. The United States Public Health Service, Centers for Disease Control
(CDC) will be there to ensure our safety. Never mind that just in the last months,
the CDC:
1.
Mishandled live anthrax;
2.
Misplaced live smallpox;
3.
Mislabeled influenza virus
that had been cross-contaminated
with the highly deadly H5NI strain of bird flu.
with the highly deadly H5NI strain of bird flu.
Words escape me to
describe the pandemic potential this moronic and inept decision by the Obama
Administration can bring to the America people. And who stands between a
catastrophic pandemic and us? The CDC and the Obama Administration.
If this doesn't bring
America to its senses (remove Obama), than maybe it is time that the surplus
population is removed.
