What??? Even the CDC is "unprepared" to contain an outbreak of Ebola?

Hmmm.... this is NOT good. Western scientists feel that the consumption and preparation of meat from monkeys, fruit bats, and other forest animals is behind the transmission of Ebola, and possibly a new supervirus, which if left uncontrolled could kill a third of the world’s population.

Everybody just needs to calm it the eff down. Flying those patients here is a good idea. We have the technology and the methods to really study this thing better in the states than out in the field. All the "what if it gets out" business is just mass paranoia. There's not gonna be any outbreak or pandemic or zombie apocalypse or anything. Emory and the people at the CDC are perfectly well trained to handle this sort of this.
So, everyone just keep your shirts on.

Why is that a credible mock? That's like two people standing by as the turkey comes out of the oven after having followed all instructions on how to cook the turkey. And one of the people grabs a fork and knife and says, "It looks beautiful, I bet its juicy because we followed the instructions to a T." And the other person responds, "yup!!! And the titanic was unsinkable!" and refuses to eat it.
Stop doing that pessimistic thing. Seriously, that comment follows that none of us should drive, because we might die because our tires may explode. Or that we shouldn't use a computer, because a wire may fray and electrocute us. Or that we shouldn't take a plane to that job we have to go to, because it might crash. There is risk getting out of bed in the morning. We all assume it, because life is risk.

Well the WHO has upped the alert level to the highest level for this outbreak, they are saying it will go on for months. I also previously posted news articles saying that the cdc as well as US hospitals are ill equipped to handle an out break. (75k patients already die from infection picked up in hospitals btw...) There are potentially infected immigrants coming across our southern border with abandon. And there are indications that this strain of Ebola is airborne. You really need to break the licking the glass habit.

Feds Bend CDC Rules for Sick Illegal Immigrants
^ Liberals say that if you don't allow illegal aliens to kill Americans on immunosuppressive drugs with tuberculosis: you're unloving. They don't care how many Americans die. Liberals are actually unloving.

I'm not aware of a single actual conservative, not to be confused with neo-conservative Republicans who are a different breed of liberal, that support any illegal alien immigration whatsoever and the diseases, crime, and social chaos it brings into the U.S..
So, is this to say that you don't care how many illegal immigrants die as a result of us not taking them into the country? You just sound like the flip side where the same thing happens, just to another group of people. Are american lives more precious than other lives just because they're American? Sounds like that ol' America is the right arm of God logic to me, dawg.

Again, you're confusing true conservatives with neo-conservatives, RINOs, etc... I don't blame you for that as it's a common mistake; however, you should educate yourself with respect to what a true conservative is so that you'll avoid these misnomers in the future.

I can understand how you would be confused after years of indoctrination in the failing liberal controlled public education system. So, I'll educate you. It's not the "flip side" of the same coin.
When you codependently enable illegal immigration what you are doing is injuring both your own nation and people but also ultimately the nations and peoples of the countries they come from.
Let's begin with the first part. As sociologists point out, members of a culture must conform to its norms for the culture to exist and function well. And the better those norms are, the greater they benefit society noting that ours have taken us much farther as a nation than theirs have taken the country's they seek escape from.
But in order for that to occur, they must be taught what those social norms and values are with the expectation that they will follow them and pass them on to their children. Otherwise, they act as leaven reducing the entire loaf so to speak. Sociological studies show that people internalize the norms and values (e.g. social contract) of a society to the degree that a society actively imparts them.
In a well-functioning society, people cooperate like a system of interconnected parts with a social conscience. We call this the "social contract." Though it is looking tattered these days after almost forty years of rising disparate groups negatively deviating from the social contract ripping it apart, America still has a social contract.
If internalization and socialization fail to produce a positive social conformity, some form of “social control” is eventually needed. Social control may take the form of ostracism, fines, punishments, and even imprisonment exactly what we've seen with increasing government authoritarianism as society has degraded over recent decades.
One of the primary drivers of that degradation are the millions of immigrants who simply bypassed the entire process created by our government and society to functionally enculturate them into our society. As a result, they retained the very norms rooted in the poor performing societies they were seeking to escape from and passed those on to their children. Even their loyalties today, in many cases, are not even to this country.
(Note that historically, America has referred to the United States of America with the term American often relating solely to the people, language, and culture found within the United States of America and that is how I am using the term).
And what has been the result? Millions upon millions of illegal immigrants have illegally entered the U.S. and propagated forming criminal gangs, degrading public education, straining social services and increasing government debt, displacing citizens from the labor market while degrading wages and benefits for those they didn't displace, filling up our jails and prisons, etc...
In large portions of the Southwest United States today, gone is the Americanism along with much of the American dream.
In their place are sprawling concrete urban barrios held by criminal gangs and a new La Raza racism which preaches a seditious policy of reconquesta based upon a false history and logic. That's a colossal enculturation failure.
In the state I live in, our judicial and social safety nets have been stretched to the breaking point and our public education system, despite 40% of the entire state budget and the proceeds of the lottery being allocated to it, fell from first in the nation to third from the bottom and it was primarily because of two things: illegal immigration and progressive policy.
Today, large portions of the Southwest U.S. have been partially transformed into the dysfunctional places illegal immigrants escaped from rather than them being transformed into the America they entered... an America which was a great forward-thinking, homogenous, safe, and educationally challenging one to grow up in... even right in Los Angeles County in those days.
As Teddy Roosevelt once said:
"We should insist that if the immigrant who comes here does in good faith become an American and assimilates himself to us he shall be treated on an exact equality with every one else, for it is an outrage to discriminate against any such man because of creed or birth-place or origin.
But this is predicated upon the man's becoming in very fact an American and nothing but an American. If he tries to keep segregated with men of his own origin and separated from the rest of America, then he isn't doing his part as an American.
There can be no divided allegiance here. We have room for but one language here, and that is the English language, for we intend to see that the crucible turns our people out as Americans, of American nationality, and not as dwellers in a polyglot boarding-house; and we have room for but one soul loyalty, and that is loyalty to the American people."
-Teddy Roosevelt.
But just as tragic, by enabling illegal immigration, people like yourself have prevented the desperately needed reform from occurring in the nations they came from. That's part 2.

The author of the article fails to realize that he is attempting to use his rejection of any form of justification for the Jihadist's atrocities as justification for the atrocities of the West. The Jihadist is a 'pure nihilist' in his eyes, unjustifiable, as though that somehow exonerates us of any blame.
Both sides propagandise like this, incessantly, hoping these justifications will beguile those without an ounce of scrutiny, and sinisterly, the object of that hope is violent binary factionalism on a global scale. That end is itself genocide, which the author condemns. You see, the sanctimony that characterizes the tribal mindset is always the same - deceptive, duplicitous, deluded.
