| We’ll tell you how dangerous Ebola is after the election |
| 2014-10-16 |
| [Ann Coulter - Human Events] There had never been a case of Ebola in the U.S. until a few months ago. Since then, thousands of people have died of the disease in Africa, and millions upon millions of dollars have been spent treating Ebola patients in the U.S. who acquired it there, one of whom has died. But the Champ administration refuses to impose a travel ban. This summer, the U.S. government imposed a travel ban on Israel simply to pressure Prime Minister Netanyahu into accepting a ceasefire agreement. But we can't put a travel restriction on countries where a contagious disease is raging. It's becoming increasingly clear this is just another platform for Champ to demonstrate that we are citizens of the world. The entire Ebola issue is being discussed -- by our government, not the United Nations -- as if Liberians are indistinguishable from Americans, and U.S. taxpayers should be willing to pay whatever it takes to save them. Maybe we should give them the vote, too! If Ebola were concentrated in Finland and Norway — certainly Israel! — we'd have had a travel ban on Day One. Hundreds of years of colonial oppression have wrought this plague upon Africa. It is only fair that the west share the cost of Liberian misery. Obamian logic wills it. |
