So one of our brilliant leaders said yet another idiotic thing about Ebola yesterday:
"If we have a 21 day quarantine for people coming back from West Africa, then that will discourage people from going over there to help."
So, these doctors and aid workers, are going into the lion's den, they are facing one of, if not THE most deadly viruses ever known, but a quarantine scares them? The guys that say this stuff are pretty ******* stupid alright, but you know who is even more stupid? Those who believe this garbage.
I also overheard that some of these organizations are now encouraging medical personnel to LIE to customs officials as to their whereabouts should they be returning from west Africa.
That's just brilliant.
Well, we all know that public safety is less important than winning elections.
Sure it is, for conservatives, that's why they all agree that nuts should be able to own guns, because they are so concerned with safety.
Link?
Post a statement that says we support guns owned by crazy people.
I am just weighing in here...
Conservatives have not said they support guns owned by crazy people. but what they have done is supported laws and candidates that want gun control so lax and unenforced that crazy people (and felons) can easily obtain guns...
I that way conservatives have indirectly supported crazy people getting guns.
Truth is Regan was for background checks and wrote very eloquently on the issue:
Why I m for the Brady Bill - New York Times
The Brady bill would require the handgun dealer to provide a copy of the prospective purchaser's sworn statement to local law enforcement authorities so that background checks could be made. Based upon the evidence in states that already have handgun purchase waiting periods, this bill -- on a nationwide scale -- can't help but stop thousands of illegal handgun purchases.
And, since many handguns are acquired in the heat of passion (to settle a quarrel, for example) or at times of depression brought on by potential suicide, the Brady bill would provide a cooling-off period that would certainly have the effect of reducing the number of handgun deaths.
I may not have agreed with Regan on a lot of things but he had a bit of class about him.
That is the thing about the conservatives now, Regan today would have been a RINO or a Democrat. Most likely a Democrat.
