re: #115 FemNaziBitch

The GOP and right wingers try to go through contortions to claim that they didn’t cut spending (it was the sequester that Obama suggested), even though they agreed with the outcome and touted all the cuts, which is something Democrats didn’t).

They ignore that the Surgeon General is still awaiting confirmation (they claim that we have an interim SG, ignoring that a carryover/caretaker doesn’t carry the same weight).

They ignore that the same Congress members complaining about Obama’s decisions, and refusal to institute travel bans, are the same members who are anti-science, are creationists, and otherwise shun science and logic and the opinions of experts in their fields, and instead proffer their opinions as superior to the experts.

Experts say travel bans are a bad idea, and even the right wing’s own health experts note this - instead offering that there’s a psychological benefit to the bans (it makes us feel safe - rather than actually making us safe). It’s a false sense of security, when the only way to stop the spread of Ebola is to stop the outbreak in West Africa, which takes a lot more resources than we’re putting in (and for which the GOP had delayed for weeks, and had initially cut the President’s request to boot).
