Ebola now confirmed in NYC

[JAMESBJOHNSON]

All who matter discount ebola's threat yet I wonder why we take any precautions at all if the threat is miniscule. We go to great trouble for something that's of no consequence.

There is no excuse for this sort of treatment. While I fully support the quarantine these people still need to be treated with respect and not like some criminal.

And for the record, neither the forehead scanners nor the automated blood pressure cuffs are reliably accurate.

That his haters blame him does not make it a conspiracy. There is no conspiracy.

Okay, granted. Nobody sat around and planned it all out. It's more like a gleeful pile-on.

And I note your tactic of not responding to what I said, but what you say I said. Reagan couldn't have stopped AIDS any more than Obama can stop Ebola, I know that, but he went nearly FIVE YEARS before he even acknowledged the word in public, and that was only in response to direct questions about it in a news conference. And it wasn't until his last year in office that he gave a speech about it. If Obama did that with Ebola, you'd crucify him. That's the point I was making by bringing up Reagan. Get it now? Most likely not.

And you bitch about me referring back to previous presidencies but then drag up Clinton and Bush? C'mon, why stop there? Tell us again what a waste Carter was. You didn't hesitate to bring up old presidents to blame when your boy was in office.

And finally, you trot out ONE expert who says that AIDS isn't viral. Really? Ironically that's the same number as those who've died of Ebola in the US. Meanwhile, those who believe in science say that more than 15000 people died of AIDS in the US in 2010 alone (which is three times more than have died of Ebola worldwide in this latest outbreak), and nearly 650000 of those infected with HIV here have died since it first appeared in 1981. People don't talk about it anymore because it's become a common part of our lives. Wait 20 years and the same thing will happen with Ebola. Magic Johnson is still alive for the same reason people are surviving Ebola. We're a whole lot better at treating viral infections than we once were.

AIDS due to lifestyle? People waste away and die, become infected with infectious diseases that are benign to the rest of the population, pop up with cancers virtually unrecognized in the 1970s and earlier...all because a lifestyle? I'd love to hear the rationalization for that one.

I responded to your blaming one group for the hysteria.

If you did not, I am truly sorry.

If you do not like the rest of what I said, I can put you back on ignore for another few months.

You are such a cowardly little shithead. Seems to be a common RWCJ trait.

Damn good thing the government is keeping us safe.

IN 6 years, you'll be posting something contrary.

Ishmael's views seem to waver between which party is currently residing in the White House or , *gasp*, the color of the President.
