They risked their lives and now they’re risking yours and mine. We had thousands of miles between the US and the ebola capital of the world, a great natural barrier, but our “government” invited ebola in and its here to stay. The doc and nurse new the risks and they shouldnt have been let back in to the country.
Just more strife, peril and chaos foisted on America by our lying president.
The fact remains... Not ALL christians are indeed christians...
There are many people doing charity work here. This man went to Africa specifically to bring them medical care, which clearly they do need.
This is a very silly article.
The problem wasn’t that he was there. That’s a noble cause.
The problem was that they brought him back.
Grow up for cripe sake. America is not yet a third world country and you have a greater chance of dying from the influenza virus than the Ebola virus.
Yes, they infected were brought back as specimens to expirimented on to the benefit of the drug companies. The drug scientists should have gone to them!
She likes Christy. Nuff said.
Wow. The title, alone, is an abomination.
They are Christian missionary members of the organization that Franklin Graham runs, and Americans, they are being treated at our top american Ebola treatment clinic.
Samaritans Purse does good work in Africa and other places. I think it is up to them where to concentrate their efforts.
And if donors disagree with the expensive measures taken to save the doctor and nurse they can stop donating to Samaritans Purse (which I doubt will happen).
The “free market” applies to charities too, Ann.
I could see the great stupid masses getting hysterical, with help from the amoral media, and calling for retribution on Christians.
Nicely done. Sometimes even the best and the brightest dim their bulb.
wait a minnit... a PRIVATE charity paid the $2million to fly him back here????
I though it was a government jet or somethig...
(they should have treated him there)
I see by the direction that this thread is going that I will be a minority opinion, but I agree with Ann on this one. He might have done it out of selflessness, or he might have done it out of vanity (”look at how I’m working for the truly poor”) but he would have accomplished more by working to convert some of the powerful, and donating to send medical supplies to Africa. Maybe train some African docs here.
I’m really happy to see the responses here. Pretty well my first thoughts as well. This guy is a hero in my mind, to selflessly serve others in the armpit of the world, taking a chance on dying from not just Ebola but all the other third world issues. He did a good thing. To roast him because he has a giving heart is not very nice, Ann.
Right.
Wow. Bless her heart.
Hey Ann, I have some advise for you. Not every thought that goes through your head should come out of your mouth. She needs to learn when to SHUT UP!!! What an idiot. There are plenty of docs and resources to do the work here. Those people in Africa need us. One doctor from America going to Africa will not tip the balance here Ann.
Ann Coulter is not an Evangelical Christian, her input on how Samaritan’s purse should handle their money is a little cold and pretentious.
As far as the West letting new diseases and epidemics be handled solely by whatever Africans can do, well you might want to rethink that.
You really prefer that the entire world just sit in ignorance since 1976, waiting to see if the numerous African outbreaks ever escaped their borders?
As it is, the West has helped end the (at least) 18 breakouts prior to this one over the last 38 years.
You? No Ebola there.
