Not sure if serious? Let's see, we're currently being invaded on our southern border and there is a growing population of people in this world who would love nothing more than to kill Americans. We just inexplicitly and very publicly transported an extremely contagious and deadly virus into our country and you don't think there was a reason to escort that threat? Please tell me I missed the sarcasm.
Good ol' conservatives. Spreading fear and paranoia of non white folks since 1981. OMG they're invading the border!!! Mexicans gonna take over Amerka! Those muslims HATE FREEDOM OMG!!! BE AFRAID!
If you want to bury your head in the sand and pretend like we're not being invaded on our southern border and/or that the world isn't full of people who would love to kill Americans be my guest. You seem to get it about as well as our reject president.
Conservatives. Lol, just an extension of your anti-Christian agenda. Love the "non-white" dig. Probably why you defend the Ray Rice battery. Oh, his fiancé was non-white too. _
Lame. Why does the idea of border security (let alone national sovereignty) strike you as something to be scoffed at?
Because calling it an invasion is an extreme exaggeration of the situation and it's comically wrong. It's also quite rich considering it's coming from some of the people whose ancestors (not you guys in particular) took this land by force and killed off most of the natives here. THAT is an invasion. The Spanish Inquisition was an invasion. And how are terrorists growing if we've been killing em for 13+ years now? (rhetorical) How can you support the war on terror while at the same time claiming terrorists are growing? Obviously our efforts are NOT working over there IF that is a true statement and not simply a fox news-esq paranoia standpoint. That invasion nonsense reminds me of the this picture: Don't get me wrong I think many liberal viewpoints are silly as well, but conservatives and fear mongering go together like Taylor ham and cheddar. I'm pretty sure there was a scientific study on the brain function and it showed the conservatives did indeed process fear differently. I'll find it if you really want. They aren't invading, they are more like refugees escaping a fucked up country largely controlled by drug cartels. And let's not forget where the Latino people originally came from.
your cartoon is retarded. no one has any problem with legal immigration. did obama tell you to call all the illegal immigrants refugees? I hear it's racist now to call them illegal. of course the word invasion is an exaggeration. it's purposely used to accentuate the huge numbers of illegals crossing our southern border. harry reid says it's secure though so we should be good. they're flocking here because our reject president with an executive order granted amnesty to 800,000 illegals. now they think they're also going to get amnesty. those drug cartels have been a problem for a long time. the surge of illegals can be traced directly back to the amnesty executive order. it doesn't matter where any race originated. we're a sovereign nation ruled by laws and these people are illegally entering. I don't even know what the fuck you're talking about with the war on terror. just keep your eyes closed and continue listening to whatever liberal retards are filling your head with utopian nonsense. let the adults handle real life.
The hypocrisy and fear mongering by the far right is in full force. And it is simply amazing that every topic becomes a platform to blame the President. On the one hand they sue him for taking Executive Action with a program that is working( yes Obamacare is working), and on the other hand they urge him to take Executive Action to solve the immigration crisis because Congress can't and won't.
The only people it's working for are people who had a pre-existing condition. Overall, as a whole, it's a large sized turd. There is no way around pointing the finger directly at Obama for the border crisis. It's a direct result of his executive order. When the president makes an executive order that falls squarely on their shoulders. There's a reason for checks and balances ... when you bypass that it's on you. Obama will never take the responsibility for it though, because he knows nothing of responsibility. It's always someone else's fault, probably just "hatin".
Not like the brazen giant of Greek fame, With conquering limbs astride from land to land; Here at our sea-washed, sunset gates shall stand A mighty woman with a torch, whose flame Is the imprisoned lightning, and her name Mother of Exiles. From her beacon-hand Glows world-wide welcome; her mild eyes command The air-bridged harbor that twin cities frame. "Keep, ancient lands, your storied pomp!" cries she With silent lips. "Give me your tired, your poor, Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free, The wretched refuse of your teeming shore. Send these, the homeless, tempest-tost to me, I lift my lamp beside the golden door!" Unless they have Ebola, then they can say the fuck out.
Wrong. Wrong, it was a criminal imposition, not an 'invasion'. Where the hell did I make any reference to terrorists? Border security, national sovernignty-period, that's all I made reference to so don't try to drag all your other agenda pieces into this--stay on track. Further, don't disingenuously pay "I think many liberal viewpoints are silly as well" lipservice to me under the assumpton that I'm some died-in-the-wool partisan of one-side-of-the-aisle only while you in the next breath pull out your own hackneyed, MSNBC-ish reference to Fox news. Assuredly, you've no idea who I am. You're a 'blue' sheet, cynically flapping in the wind. I am a checkerboard. My positions on 'issues' centers on accountibilty, not partisan spin, not slavish devotion to one-trick-pony dogma. I would love nothing more than to tear down both parties, the Tom DeLays of the world and along with it, cynical, uppity progressive bigots such as yourself. You mean those same folks who literally drove my nephew off the farm he worked his ass off to save up for and purchase (Calif.)? Hey, you want to give California (and its 25% poverty rate) along with the southwest United States back to Mexico? Fine by me. Except what would your excuse be for the "shifted north" border insecurity issue? That the problem is Mexico and that we should serve in perpetuity as a clearinghouse for their dysfuctional house? Where then does that leave the idea of border security (or borders, period) or national sovereignty? Eliminated. And I'm supposed to feel guilty rejecting that mindset? Sorry but please give away your own store. Port Chester, New York? Everyone wants immigration reform, no reason to ship a kid who's lived here all his life out of here. But first: fix the border. Now. 12,000,000+ and counting is an invasion.
I work in a detention center that houses the worst of the worst juvenile immigrants and I could tell you some things that would blow your mind. Needless to say the general public doesn't know much about the reality of the situation. And the government is doing a good job of keeping it a secret. The media paints it as these poor "refugees" fleeing poor conditions but they don't have to deal with these people up close
On-topic: ATLANTA—An American infected with Ebola in Liberia was being treated and monitored in the U.S. on Sunday, as doctors worked to provide care in what will be a crucial few days in his attempt to recover from the deadly disease. About a week after his first symptoms of Ebola were reported, Kent Brantly, a doctor, was in an Atlanta hospital's special isolation unit. He had arrived Saturday, flown from Liberia in a chartered air ambulance, and he appeared in fairly good condition as he walked, covered from head to toe in a protective suit, into the unit at Emory University Hospital. Plans to soon bring a second American Ebola patient from Liberia to the same hospital were on schedule, according to the air-charter company hired to do the job. Nigeria Confirms Second Ebola Case Ebola, Terrorism Cloud Obama's Africa Summit 5 Things to Know About the Ebola Outbreak The other infected aid worker, Nancy Writebol, who had been helping decontaminate workers at the clinic for the other charity, SIM USA, was expected to arrive soon for treatment. A SIM USA spokesman couldn't be reached for comment; a news release from the group Friday said she was in serious condition. The next several days will be critical for the two patients. Ebola has taken the lives of as many as 90% of those it has infected in past outbreaks. American Ebola patient Dr. Kent Brantly arrived from West Africa for treatment at Emory University Hospital on Saturday. His is the first known case of Ebola to be treated in the U.S. Another infected patient, charity worker Nancy Writebol, is expected to arrive in the coming days. Photo: AP There is no vaccine or treatment for the viral hemorrhagic fever, which causes symptoms such as fever, headaches, vomiting and diarrhea and can puncture blood vessels to cause internal bleeding. But good supportive care, such as fluids to replace those lost in vomiting and diarrhea, medication to bring down fevers, and antibiotics for complications can improve a patient's chances by keeping the immune system as strong as possible to fight off the virus. In fact, early treatment may have helped keep the death rate lower in the current outbreak in West Africa, according to Stephan Monroe, an emerging infectious diseases expert at the CDC. Of 1,323 cases, 729 have died, according to the World Health Organization, putting the death rate at 55%. Dr. Brantly and Ms. Writebol began receiving supportive care as soon as they were diagnosed, according to their respective charities. Dr. Brantly also got a blood transfusion from a 14-year-old boy who survived Ebola under Dr. Brantly's care, in the hope that antibodies would help him, too, fight off the virus. Both Dr. Brantly and Ms. Writebol received an experimental serum, the charities said, though they didn't specify what the treatment was. An Emory spokeswoman wouldn't comment on what treatments are being used at the Atlanta hospital. There are several vaccines and drug treatments in development and testing for Ebola, but none have been approved by regulators. Commercializing them is a challenge given that Ebola is a rare disease, said Thomas Geisbert, who works on potential Ebola vaccine platforms as a researcher at the University of Texas Medical Branch at Galveston. "Ebola is very rare—there is not a financial incentive for large pharmaceutical companies to make vaccines for Ebola," he said. "It's really going to require government agencies or a foundation." Vaccines would be helpful not only as a preventive tool, but to stop transmission during outbreaks, said Thomas Ksiazek, director of high-containment laboratory operations at Galveston National Laboratory. They can be given shortly after infection, and having a vaccine to offer could help draw out contacts of a patient, he said—something that has been hard to do in this outbreak. "If you identify all of these people at risk, that would reduce the chance of them becoming ill and transmitting it on to others," he said. Dr. Ksiazek, a veteran of multiple Ebola outbreaks as a former special pathogens branch chief at the CDC, is heading to Sierra Leone Aug. 11 to help with outbreak-control efforts, part of an all-hands-on-deck call by the WHO. Ebola is such a rare disease that no more than 300 medical and public health professionals have experience with outbreaks, said Dr. Ksiazek's former colleague at the CDC, Pierre Rollin, who has been in West Africa for most of the past four months. "People with this experience are getting to be overwhelmed," Dr. Ksiazek said of the reasons he was asked to come. He said he would help lead a team of epidemiologists tracking the outbreak. Samaritan's Purse said it expected to finish evacuating this weekend all but its most essential personnel from its operations in Liberia. SIM USA is evacuating nonessential personnel, too, though sending in another American doctor to help at its Ebola treatment center near Monrovia, Liberia.
