OBOLACARE - As with AIDS activists placed blame, and now Ebola: The President Is Responsible

OBOLACARE

AIDS was not quite the same and the politics were dishonest to cover up its being a gay lifestyle disease.

Ebola is different. It is a terrible, impartial and ravaging virus that could be contained years ago in small villages, because it wiped out the entire village. It didn't have carriers beyond that. Now, with Ebola in towns and cities with hospitals, with doctors and medical help from abroad, the virus got spread, with its insidious and surprising contagiousness into other countries and continents. 

Obama and his administration deserve some blame; first, for his inability to recognize the actions required and second, how his ridiculous attitudes about diversity have jeopardized the safety of the US population. 

Many of us disregard what is said by Obama, the administration and the CDC as politicized hooey, and that will probably help to save us. m/r 

Ebola: The President Is Responsible | The American Spectator

By Jeffrey Lord – 10.14.14

AIDS activists' precedent for politicizing disease.

“We can make government again responsive to people not only by cutting its size and scope and thereby ensuring that its legitimate functions are performed efficiently and justly.” —President Ronald Reagan, Conservative Political Action Conference, March 20, 1981 

A more perfect description of what’s wrong with the Obama White House’s handling of the Ebola crisis could not be had. But first? 

Two days after the death of Ronald Reagan in 2004, left-wing AIDS activist Larry Kramer wrote this charming missive in the Advocate. The title? “Adolph Reagan.” Wrote Kramer, in part:

Our murderer is dead. The man who murdered more gay people than anyone in the entire history of the world, is dead. More people than Hitler even.…

Year after year of his hateful and endless reign we knew we were not a part of the American People he was President of. He would never talk about us, of course, or do anything for us except murder us. There were no social services for us. There was no research into our health. Even as we were dying like flies. How could he not have seen us dying? The answer is he did see us dying and he chose to do nothing. There was no representation in his government of us. There was never anything for us but his ignoble dismissal of us. All of Washington, indeed the world, knew that Reagan hated us. How could they not? Most of them did, too. And when Daddy doesn’t love you, who is there who will stand up to Daddy? This is a trick that Hitler used and which I believe the young Reagan learned from him. He never had to say much out loud himself about his hatreds; but everyone knew what they were. Gays were as hated under Reagan as Jews were under Hitler. It is a trick that both George Bushes have carbon-copied. We have not been included among their American people either.… 

And so, and so on. Kramer was also the author of a play called The Normal Heart, which focused on the rise of AIDS in early 1980s New York City. Inevitably the book begat a movie, in this case on HBO. The film closed with what it called this “historic note”:

President Ronald Reagan mentioned AIDS publicly for the first time Sept. 17, 1985, vowing in a news conference to make AIDS research a “top priority.” Reagan’s proposed budget for 1986 actually called for an 11 percent reduction in AIDS spending. By the end of 1986, there were 24,559 reported deaths.
