Political Crossfire Forums

i'd rather retain my ideological purity than my immunological purity. proposal denied.

I'm curious if you guys have had any rightwing representatives blame Ebola on the homosexuals or the atheists yet?

If there's one thing I can appreciate about rightwing (vs leftwing) crazies, it's that they are predicable.

3 people out of 330 million.. And it looks like those 2 nurses in Dallas may have treated this guy while he was vomiting and having diarrhea while they only had on paper gowns and paper masks..

But we now have round the clock coverage, the networks are all over this, it's rating gold.. We have Congressional committees and hearings and they are blaming and pointing fingers at everyone and anyone so they can get political points, there is an election coming up you know? I saw 1 Congressman ask the head of the CDC if they were going to train all the personal at the hospitals in his state? It was a perfect 'gotcha moment' for the Congressman... Except then Frieden pointed out that the hospitals are under STATE CONTROL!! So yes the CDC will offer guidance but it's up to the STATES to train their people.. You just can't this stuff up..

Anyway this reminds me of Y2K is almost everyway. Death, destruction, ratings, money to be made, politicians feigning outrage, finger pointing, political points..

this is 2014. we can report on epidemics and raise awareness BEFORE the next town has already been destroyed by it. it's a good thing.

We're a f'ing gullible bunch. I often wonder how these AM radio guys get away with being so popular and getting so rich. But it's really easy to see, we'll believe any BS, or conspiracy if it's told enough times. We are slaves to our media.

I knew DOZENS of people, smart people, buying supplies, buying canned foods, taking their money of of their banks, and getting ready for Armageddon in 1999. Because the media EASILY convinced them the world was going to end on Jan. 1st, 2000.. And I'm not exaggerating, I was in the F'ing business.. Up to my neck..
