During the outbreak of a horrific lethal disease is no time to find yourself under the control of someone uninclined to act in the country’s best interest. Psychiatrist Keith Ablow tries to get a handle on Obama’s refusal to so much as put a stop to the torrent of Africans from Liberia and neighboring countries who are openly pouring into the USA, some possibly to seek free medical care for their Ebola:
Zitat Such a travel ban would go some distance to stem the tide of Ebolophobia [i.e. Ebola anxiety], too. It would symbolize our country’s intention to shore up its defenses against the illness. But President Obama is very sensitive to being defined in any way by the borders of this country. I think he sees himself as a citizen of the world and sees Americans as having infected others with our deadly economic policies [i.e., capitalism] for a long time, thereby inflicting untold suffering on developing nations. To now lead the way to America insulating itself from a scourge sweeping the very countries he seems to think we have preyed upon could, of course, strike him (if only unconsciously) as profoundly unfair.
I believe the president may literally believe we should suffer along with less fortunate nations. And if he does, that is a very dangerous psychological stance from which to confront Ebola.
Let me say this plainly, as a psychiatrist who has studied this president only from a distance: In order for President Obama to keep thinking of himself as the leader of the world — and not just the free world — it may be that our boundaries must remain porous, allowing illegal immigrants and, potentially, even diseases to flow through them. …
The toll of having a president who seems to see America as having no particular manifest destiny may be seen in the spread of ISIS abroad. And it could be seen, God forbid, in not mounting a sufficient immune defense here at home, to Ebola.
Ablow’s analysis is perfectly consistent with Obama’s anti-neocolonialist ideology. You can tell his observations hit close to the mark by the way they are making liberals’ heads explode.
Even Democrats have been calling for a flight ban from the countries where Ebola is rife. Yet under Obama, the State Department refuses to say how many Americans the Obama Administration is willing to let die rather than implement one:
ZitatState Department Spokeswoman Jen Psaki would not directly respond Thursday to a question from CNSNews.com asking her how many American Ebola victims would be an acceptable price for the American people to pay for the administration’s policy of allowing people to travel to the United States from three Ebola-stricken countries in West Africa—without even putting them through a quarantine period.
It is hard to avoid the conclusion that Obama and those still willing to take part in his administration do not care how many of us die.
ZitatThe toll of having a president who seems to see America as having no particular manifest destiny may be seen in the spread of ISIS abroad. And it could be seen, God forbid, in not mounting a sufficient immune defense here at home, to Ebola. Saying so, even at the risk of offending some or many, is the first step (here taken) to make it not so.
While the assessment of Obama and his minions view of the US is correct, exotic diseases have been tromping across our unprotected borders and flying into our airports under Bush I, Clinton, Bush II and others. For decades free movement of good and persons for the benefit of citizens of the world who run global finance and corporate has taken precedence over the economic and health security of the US.
My point being you don't have to have a negative view of the US to allow infestation by exotic diseases. Rapacious greed also serves as a motive.
