Muslim isn’t a race. Frankly, I think it stands they and the rest of Africa are savages.

I KNOW that "Muslim" isn't a race. I never said that it was.

There ARE 6-7 MILLION Muslims in our USA.

As for the rest of Africa...sad case.
We have a Nigerian PRIEST (Roman Catholic) in our parish. He's very worried about his mother, still in Nigeria. He has cause to fear for her.

This incident probably gives Obamugabe more desire to send our brave fighting men there.

Hubby is a retired county firefighter here. The last 11 years he worked was in a small town that is 98% Mexican with a ton of illegals. They have a huge gang problem. They were issued and wore bullet proof vests on every call. The fire engine would get beer bottles thrown at it. The station was shot up in a drive by. Broke out every glass window in the front of the office.

There would be ZERO illegals here if there were no jobs for them. UNFORTUNATELY, our own companies HIRE them, so the illegals come.

SUPPLY and DEMAND...old concept.

kHas anyone in the Obama administration given any thought to the fact that the 3,000 soldiers we are sending to Africa could very well become targets for Boko Haram and other groups looking to make a name for themselves?

***
With this Soros Administration, that may just be part of the plan: Kill off our best warriors and leave us defenseless.

OdumBO sending the military to fight ebola, reminds me of when The State Department during the Iraq war was looking for volunteers to staff Baghdad and the Bolshies at State shouted down the idea they should go in harms way. ObOzO just didn’t want to have the same thing happen when he sent in the Peace Corps.

more reasons that our help should be confined to air dropped supplies

For pundit and politicians publicly commenting on these things is like touching the third rail for their careers. All the egalitarians want to believe everybody in the world has equal mental and physical abilities. The best evidence i.e. reality proves that's not true.

[SMARTY]

Gee...that’s the way they behaved to people providing a LIFE-SAVING public service .... which they receive FOR FREE, since they are undocumented and don’t pay taxes!

What wonderfully wholesome and “salt-of-the-earth”
people these new ‘residents’ are!!! :(

Eeeee-bolllll-aaaaaa ping!

Bring Out Your Dead

We’re gonna need

a bigger cart!

Post to me or FReep mail to be on/off the Bring Out Your Dead ping list.

The purpose of the “Bring Out Your Dead” ping list (formerly the “Ebola” ping list) is very early warning of emerging pandemics, as such it has a high false positive rate.

So far the false positive rate is 100%.

At some point we may well have a high mortality pandemic, and likely as not the “Bring Out Your Dead” threads will miss the beginning entirely.

*sigh* Such is life, and death...

should have had government soldiers escorting the aid workers.

Should have had aid workers who weren't so stupid as to go into savage tribal areas to help ignorant and stupid people.

I’ve been in IT since 1983 and am quite aware that you could train a person of average intelligence to be a c#, Java or a host of other types of developer. I went to COBOL school at Boeing Computer Services for a measley 10 months and it VERY WELL prepared me to not only enter the IT workforce but be very successful as well.

So, I moved to rural KY three years ago on the edge of Apalacia and have seen the squalor in which many of my neighbors live. A lot of them STILL do not have indoor plumbing. And I think to myself: What if I started a free IT training course for the college aged kids here. It could completely change the economic environment and, who knows, could end up with the area being an IT development “outsourcing” location. It could compete with India, et-al and keep the jobs and money in the US - and wean the local culture off Coal.

But then reality sunk in. The pre- and post-natal care wasn’t there. The parental training in life skills is not there. The self confidence is not there. And on and on.

Sure, maybe one or two out of two hundred might make it, but it would be an exercise in futility that would have the added negative affect of slamming their self confidence and amplifying their belief that they are just poor, stupid hicks.

But the story is to be continued...

During the Rodney King riots, fire and ambulance were sniped upon. They sent in a marine corps sniper team and the problem was abruptly resolved.

Yep! It continually amazed me.

I think in some situations, like many people in Appalachia, apathy sets in. People get used to living on the gov. dole just subsisting. My wife grew up in England, and she spoke derisively of some of her cousins who actually quit decent paying jobs to get on the dole. Or didn't pursue opportunities because they could subsist on the dole.

It's a fact that many people simply don't have the IQ to make it in the modern world. It's also a shame that many people who have the mental capacity to make it give up. The thing about Appalachia.... it's not the only place in the world. If there's no jobs around where you live....MOVE!!!

In my case, I have a great job. That’s why I’m able to help. But your comment about moving is spot on.

I remember seeing a guy at a washington state RV park in the late 1980’s that had just moved there from Detroit. He was working as a mechanic.

I asked him why he moved to Washington state and he said the automaker jobs were drying up in Detroit so he moved away.

Not all of them are stupid.

That’s the way it should be, but the government gives them just enough to stay in place, miserably.

"There would be ZERO illegals here if there were no jobs for them."

Oh BS.

Tons of them would be part of the Gubmint "FreeStuff" wing of the D party. No jobs needed.
