OBAMA FAILS TO PROTECT US, AGAIN

Of all the examples of incompetence and failure to protect Americans that the Obama Administration has displayed, its failure to keep Ebola out of our country may be the worst. Obama’s number-one job is to keep dangerous people from coming into America, and he has flunked the test.

Ebola is a particularly horrible disease. Infected patients face a death rate of 25 to 90 percent.

Long ago, our country designated Ellis Island as a place where people could be held until we decided whether or not to let them in. Disease is one of the major reasons why, over the years, thousands of people have been denied entry and returned to wherever they came from.

Ellis Island was a facility with immigration inspectors and public health officials who screened out aliens who might have a disease that posed a health risk to Americans. Just because the alien reached Ellis Island was no guarantee of being admitted to the U.S.

Ellis Island inspection was thorough. Anyone suspected of having been exposed to Ebola, or who comes from a country where Ebola is a problem, should be denied entry.

But Obama’s priority is apparently not protecting the safety of Americans. Remember, his proclaimed goal is the fundamental transformation of the United States to make us more like other countries, and in 2010, the Obama Administration scrapped regulations that might have prevented Ebola from entering the U.S.

About Phyllis Schlafly:

Phyllis Schlafly has been a national leader of the conservative movement since the publication of her best-selling 1964 book, A Choice Not An Echo. She has been a leader of the pro-family movement since 1972, when she started her national volunteer organization now called Eagle Forum. In a ten-year battle, Mrs. Schlafly led the pro-family movement to victory over the principal legislative goal of the radical feminists, called the Equal Rights Amendment.

Her syndicated column appears in 100 newspapers, her radio commentaries are heard daily on 460 stations, and her radio talk show on education called “Eagle Forum Live” is heard weekly on 45 stations. Both can be heard on the Internet.

Mrs. Schlafly is the author or editor of 20 books on subjects as varied as family and feminism (The Power of the Positive Woman and Feminist Fantasies), nuclear strategy (Strike From Space and Kissinger on the Couch), education (Child Abuse in the Classroom), child care (Who Will Rock the Cradle?), and phonics (First Reader and Turbo Reader). Her most recent book: The Supremacists: The Tyranny of Judges and How to Stop It.
