He’s like Santa. Just write GWB, Dallas, Texas, and they deliver it to him.

I never even saw the envelope Xsteen did all of the invitations. And remember she went to school in Dallas and knew exactly where he lived, prob not the house # but she knew the street. She took xsbaby and I over there when we were visiting once. She and her best friend knew where several Caps lived too (didn’t invite any!)

humanitarians are distinguishable from selfish mountain climbers. Samaritan's Purse is franklin Graham's organization. They're doing the Lord's work.

While I agree that there are people who do stupid things and put themselves in dangerous situations, I don't think a doctor or nurse helping people falls into that catagory. As conservatives, we want people to donate time or money to things they believe in, instead of our government deciding for us, so when an American donates his time and skill to help, why would we abandon them? A soldier joins the military, would we not bring him home? What about people traveling in another country - if war broke out and they needed help getting home would we say "too bad, you went there on your own"?

If someone went to save the "selfish mountain climber" and got hurt, would we also say they were selfish and not help them?

I apologize for missing class yesterday, but after work I had to go find a keyboard and do a couple of other errands...

Of course they are. That is hardly the point.

And the Dr. That wrote that article, is an @$$hole. Sorry. Calling people un-american over fairly justified concerns, is both arrogant, and foolish beyond belief.

There is also the issue of buo-terrorism. Is it likely...no. Possible...only about as much as 19 guys with box cutters taking down three of the most prominent buildings on the planet, near simultaneously.

It’s fairly quite surprising on consideration that these nuts that strap bombs to themselves or drive them into buildings have not yet thought to just go get sick, and dwell around five or six major airports...

It took 19 on 9/11.

A category A bioterrorism agent. Yes, lets bring it to the US, not treat in place, and going one step further, lets treat it in a civilian area...

*excerpt*
Given the lethal nature of Ebola, and since no approved vaccine or treatment is available, it is classified as a biosafety level 4 agent, as well as a Category A bioterrorism agent by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. It has the potential to be weaponized for use in biological warfare.[91] The BBC reports in a study that frequent outbreaks of Ebola may have resulted in the deaths of 5,000 gorillas.[92]
