the leftist approach to problem solving.
do everything you can to not fix the problem or even address it.

Actually the leftist approach is to do nothing relative to problem solving and watch the problems go from bad to worse. Shall we start with ISIS and Odumbo being warned up to 2 years ago about this being a serious problem and he did NOTHING!

And your rightist solution would be what?

Or demean those who see the problem for what it is. Anything to avoid reality.

My approach would be to eliminate all non essential travel for the time being... (we can set up the definition of essential after a quick give and take) and then allow citizens to return and essential travelers to spend time in a quarantine. I read somewhere that 21 days might be needed.

That would be my approach until someone presented a better one.
Intelligent governance does not have to be difficult.

1) We don't have the benefit of intelligent governance
2) You'd have to assume the Obongo regime even wants to protect us from Ebola in the first place. All evidence to the contrary, of course.

I will say this about conservatives. The level of outrage they maintain without pause could power the whole country for an entire year.

How do they do it?

Fear. They're afraid of everything.

And how exactly, legally, would you accomplish all this?

Maybe they're right, so let's calibrate. What other advanced nations, our peers, had such travel restrictions in place at the time of this man's entry?

Ebola is something else. The number of particles needed to infect a person is 1-10. One particle will do it. It can survive for quite a while on surfaces. Cases are overflowing hospitals, have been for weeks, in Liberia. Anybody in Liberia could have Ebola. A guy flew from Liberia to Dallas... Is it just me or is the Federal Government a complete waste of our money?

They're worthless .. no accountability ever! And excuses constantly. And as a federal employee it's virtually impossible to be fired. So incompetence abounds.
