OF COURSE A TRAVEL BAN WOULD WORK !
THAT'S WHY the LEFT DOES NOT WANT ONE.
AND EVERYBODY KNOWS IT.

But the LEFT does NOT CARE about "Safety for the United States Citizens".
They hold them "IN CONTEMPT" !


THEY ONLY CARE ABOUT POWER !
" Speaking LIES in hypocrisy; having THEIR CONSCIENCE SEARED with a hot iron ", " and even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them over to A REPROBATE MIND ", and so in that state, the LEFT has NO PROBLEM WITH THE CONFUSION they profess. When they come, " ... then cometh also contempt, and with ignominy - reproach. "

LIBERALS ONLY care about THEMSELVES and what other people think of THEM,
They want everyone else to pay for THEIR STUFF.
THE LEFT wants everything for them to be provided by the government (that's us, the working and retired tax payers).
THE LEFT will LIE, CHEAT, STEAL, and COHERES anyone dumb enough to trust them, to get what they want.
They are GOATS, pushing and shoving everyone else out of their way, to get what they want.
The LEFT will DRUG you and your children, in order to manipulate them, to have sex, and to steal their votes, money, and stuff, and subdue them into submission.
Someone said: No it wasn't!
Only with an ILLEGAL ALIEN IN CHIEF, a MUSLIM TERRORIST IN CHIEF, defiling the White House with every decision he makes, could this happen.
He DIRECTED this disease UPON US by every policy and every directive he issued,
because he WANTED another CRISIS,
so he could continue to shove his FASCISM/MARXISM down our throats !
DAMN HIM TO HELL !

Dear Heavenly Father, remember Psalms 7:10-17"
and apply it to this VERY VILE deceiver, Barack Hussein Obama, II .
He dug this pit,
so let him fall backwards into his own trap that he himself has directed to be made.

Wait, I get it!

I understand what they are trying to teach us all!

In order to not get burned, we must put our hand in the fire! (hat tip to Phil Valentine)

We are so lucky to have people so smart as this!

We should give them all a raise!

The only way to close down the flights is to pass a veto proof law in both house and senate. Might be able to do it in house but Reid would block it in the Senate. Also, one of the flight crew unions could refuse to fly there but they appear to be supporting Obama on this issue; based on flight attendant union president on Hannity tonight.

To liberals, never let a crisis go to waste.

They want to use this one to demonstrate how competent the federal government is in addressing a communicable disease.

But its failing miserably and the liberal answer as always is to let it fail some more.

If people die, so be it. Your government knows best.

Prison for murderers doesn’t work.
Taking aspirin for a hangover doesn’t work.
Telling my wife I don’t need to lose 30 pounds doesn’t work.

Voting for RINO’s doesn’t work.

Wow I didn’t think you could pile bull dung that high! They actually did a cut and paste job with their illegal immigration arguments.

I read this on three Lefty websites today. Shadows. Liberals hate shadows, like illegals or gays.

What a pair of morons. Obviously they nothing of what Europe and other African countries are doing. They know nothing of what Firestone did in a Nigerian town to stop and outbreak. They are more concerned about the meme that says we will hurt the economies of third world countries rather than dealing with this disease. I say they should go be on the front lines in Sierra Leone or Liberia. Let them tell us how inconsequential all of this id then

Right .... I think in all their pointy head delusionary thinking, they actually think they know how to contain this here ..... But I have a feeling it’s going to backfire miserably on them .... I think this disease is something entirely different ...... Something that’s going to kick their PC backwards thought processes and “protocols” to the curb....

Why in the world wouldn’t it work!? Not only a travel ban, but a stay in your house and feed you with food on a stick ban. Idiots.

Never in my life have I seen so much STUPID coming from the MSM.

From Heather’s ‘About me’ page:

I’m a Capitol Hill reporter covering transportation policy. I’ve gotten pretty good at chasing members of Congress around and like to wear cute shoes while doing that.

Yep, sounds like someone we should listen to.

and send an unknown number of infected travelers into the shadows, increasing the difficulty of knowing how many were entering the U.S.

I guess the idea is that all potential Ebola carriers will naturally only come in through normal channels, so that we can track and monitor them. That is very obliging of them. Reminds me breaking into the high school dance. JV indeed.

People who post this horse shit are just doing it to prop up obama’s defense for open borders and Amnesty... After all you see - if we can close the borders to people from Liberia, Sierra Leone and Guinea - THEN WHY NOT MEXICO and CENTRAL AMERICA .. this is what they fear.

Please spread the word.. stopping flights from the Ebola Countries is not a good answer - it would help but it is much easier to just stop issuing VISAS to the residents of the Ebola stricken countries... That way they cannot do as Mr. Duncan did and fly to Brussels or somewhere else in the EU...

NO VISA to AMERICA - NO FLY To AMERICA.. if you don’t have a Visa in your passport allowing you entrance into the USA - then you cannot even get on a plane to the USA...

STOP VISAS - much easier ... an order to the U.S. Embassies and Consulates in Africa ... No Visas issued to people holding passports to citizens of Sierra Leone, Guinea or Liberia - and add any other country that develops a Ebola Epidemic. EASY.

If - and it looks good so far - the Dems lose control of the Senate - out Congress could pass legislation banning issuance of Visas to citizens of the Ebola countries - stick that legislation into some big bill that obama cannot afford to veto and we have it ... otherwise starting today - pound Congress to stop issuing Visas...

If we don’t stop Ebola in the U.S. OUR Visas may be banned by other countries who have sense enough to protect themselves.

“If you literally sequester the markets, which is to say remove all scheduled service, you really eliminate the possibility of practical access to those markets by public health officials and public health [groups] who are trying to help,” Mann said. “You would force them into the charter market, which is very expensive and in some cases also not very practical.”

These are some of the dumbest arguments I've ever heard. These people are complete idiots and liberal Democrats of the highest order.

They are literally saying we have to expose the United States to Ebola in order to save Africa flight costs.

“throttling travel would hammer already devastated West African countries, make it difficult to send relief where it’s needed, and send an unknown number of infected travelers into the shadows...”

As soon as a leftist is losing an argument they start throwing people into the “shadows”.
