David Quammen, author, appearing on Anderson Cooper's TV show:  "You can't isolate nations.  It doesn't work.  And people talk about,
well, we shouldn't allow any flights in from Liberia.  I mean, we in
America, how dare we turn our backs on Liberia, given the fact that this
is a country that was founded in the 1820s, 1830s because of American
slavery.  We have a responsibility to stay connected with them and help
them see this through. "1.  America ended slavery.  Americans fought against it.2.  Restricting flights from Liberia does not mean aid workers and supplies can't enter the area. 4951

We MUST restrict travel from the Ebola countries and also for travelers that start their trips from those countries. The Obama Administration is more concerned with African economy than the protection of the American citizens. We also need to close our borders until this is resolved. All the South Americans and Mexicans will be trying to get into the US because our healthcare is better. Just like the creep that lied n his airline questionnaire that knowingly brought Ebola to our shores! 4951

@fcabanski: Hmm, I seem to recall having a "discussion" with a certain pink troll about this very subject the other day, and he put me on ignore because he was wrong...

they are saying the economy is why they wont shut down flights, saying it would harm the liberian economy??  WTH?  Look what its doing to our stock market already and of course they are going to put blame on something else.  Now the president announced he has the national guard on stand by incase of a major outbreak?

Step 1 people vote for Obama based on hope and change.Step 2 diseases enter America over the open borders and through unrestricted travel from Ebola infected areas.Step 3 Liberals tell us to stop panicking.  We should only panic when it leads to sending billions to stop Ebola in Africa. 4951

I wasn't aware that the national guard went out of the country.  Maybe I'm wrong. 4951
