Ebola

     I have been watching the news and the one topic that has stuck in my head is EBOLA.  What is Ebola?  It's a virus that can infect humans and primates.  It has been most commonly found in African countries.  This has been true since 1976, when it first appeared in the African country of the Congo.  It reared its ugly head in Liberia this year.  It especially became personal for Americans when two healthcare workers from the Samaritan Purse ran by Franklin Graham contacted the virus.  The symptoms for this wonderful disease are high fever, horrible headaches, bruising and bleeding, diarrhea, muscle pain, vomiting, weakness and stomach pain.  This sounds like a whole lot of fun.  I am not a germ freak, but it's now hear in American.  Yes, there have only been 2 to 4 cases here in the states, but isn't that enough to raise some eyebrows.  Apparently Not!  http://www.cdc.gov/vhf/ebola/about.html
     This virus that has affected real people in Africa and here in The United States has become political.  Why has it become political?  Is it because the policy for closing the borders are so relaxed?  Is it because the person of Barack Obama the man that we as Americans call President doesn't really seem to grasp the situation at hand?  The two question go hand in hand.  In closing the borders would mean that all unnecessary flight to and from Liberia would need to stop.  Then there is the Mexican/American border in case that the virus takes root in South American.  We all know that this border is not secure.  We have had drug cartel fire on our border agents and illegal aliens easily crossing the border into the country with icky diseases of their own.  These men, women and children come into the country and that is the last that anyone of authority will hear from the families.  Yes, I understand that it is a better life for those who know what true poverty is, but we as Americans need to take care of our own.  Closing the border may help quarantine not only the virus, but make it harder for the Isis Terrorist group to stay out of the country.
     I like what Andrew C. McCarthy says in his article about the incompetence of the Obama Administration.http://www.nationalreview.com/article/390616/incompetence-meets-mendacity-obama-administrations-ebola-response-andrew-c-mccarthy   We as American expect that politicians will do their thing as politicians.  These men and women will wheel and deal their way into creating policy or getting bills signed.  When threats to Americans seem to be real that we do expect that the politics stop.  There will be real answers to Ebola and Isis.  I have no veil over my eyes that if Ted Cruz comes into the White House in 2016 (now you know my presidential pick) that he will be a politician.  I really and truly get that fact.  When the proverbial shit hits the fan then Americans need a President to come out fighting.
