Ebola and economic conservatives.

[ZombieHorde]

I wonder how economic conservatives feel we should handle those with Ebola here in the US. Many economic conservatives feel those who can't afford health care should be left to die, but do they feel the same if the person has Ebola? Probably not.

Seems to me contagious diseases is a fantastic argument for single payer health care. I would love to see someone go on FOX and ask them about Ebola and socialized health care.

1. Excellent post.

Great question. Damn, I too would love to hear that question asked of FOX hosts. Each and every one of them should be required to answer.

Of course, if anyone asked the question she/he would not be invited back. So we'd have to line up a relay type crew to pick up where the last one left off. So much fun!

2. Conservatives want everyone with Ebola shipped straight to West Africa and abandoned to die.

Even the Americans returning home with it.

3. Realistically, they'd probably like to simply incinerate them.

Or dump them in leper colonies, and leave them to their fate.

4. Look how many balls got dropped in Dallas over the man with ebola

That's what happens when economic conservatives get control and start to cut "frills" like public health departments.

6. Per the Daily Show, blocking visitors from West Africa

has been proposed. They may like that proposal for more reasons than one. I wonder if Pat "Mr. Xenophobe" Buchanan came up with it.

Denying rights is often less expensive than meeting needs. But, even if it's more expensive, they still like it better 'cause flexing muscles just makes us feel so good.

7. I would ask them,

what we should do if the US did have poor, Ebola patients? What if the keep-them-out plan doesn't work?

8. When your wallet has replaced your heart and mind, coming up

with answers to questions like that gets a lot easier.
