fear ebola? how about terrorism? no, dems say it's climate change 
- really are living in bizarroworld when a fabricated, fictitious "crisis" outpaces the real ones
The Pew Research Center/USA Today survey, conducted between Aug. 20 and 24, shows that 68 percent of Democrats said global climate change is THE “major threat” to the U.S.
Among Democrats, global climate change topped the list of greatest threats to the U.S. But among Republicans and Independents, it placed last on a list of nine "major threats."
The top major concerns for Democrats were global climate change, followed by extremist groups, North Korea's nuclear program , Iran's nuclear program, the rapid spread of infectious diseases from country to country, growing tensions between Russia and its neighbors, the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, and China's emergence as a world power.

How true! The true statesman William Vaile of Colorado one of the prime movers of the Immigration Act of 1924 on the congress floor:
"Let me emphasize here that the restrictionists of Congress do not claim that the “Nordic” race, or even the Anglo-Saxon race, is the best race in the world. … What we do claim is that the European migrants, made this country. Oh, yes; the others helped. But that is the full statement of the case. They came to this country because it was already made as an Anglo-Saxon commonwealth. They added to it, they often enriched it, but they did not make it, and they have not yet greatly changed it. We are determined that they shall not. It is a good country. It suits us. And what we assert is that we are not going to surrender it to somebody else or allow other people, no matter what their merits, to make it something different. If there is any changing to be done, we will do it ourselves. "
[h=1]'What about me?': Texas sheriff's deputy rushed to hospital with symptoms of deadly Ebola complained about lack of safety when he was sent to 'patient zero's' apartment[/h]
A Dallas County sheriff's deputy has been hospitalized today with Ebola symptoms, a week after he went unprotected into the apartment of first patient Thomas Duncan.
Sgt Michael Monnig went on Wednesday to an urgent-care facility in Frisco, Texas with his wife, after complaining of stomach problems.
The deputy presented at the clinic a week after he visited the Dallas home where Duncan was staying when he developed Ebola symptoms. Sgt Monnig was at the home to deliver a quarantine order to family members.
Neither Sgt Monnig, nor the other two health officials, Zachary Thompson and Christopher Perkins with him, were wearing protective clothing or masks despite being in the apartment as cleaning crews were going about their work in full protective gear.

The day after going into the apartment, Monnig and his fellow officers were told to bag up the clothes they'd been wearing. Their police cars were also taken out of commission.
'That starts putting question marks in your mind,' Monnig told WFAA in an October 3 report. 'You know when you go home and then the next day you start hearing that equipment is being quarantined or asked to be bagged up, that you had on or were driving.
'Then your question is, "well, what about me?" And so those were the questions that were raised.'
Now the question is: Why wasn't Monnig warned before entering the home completely without protection?
'There should be some kind of protocols as far as what kind of a response we're going to have and what kind of safety equipment we're going to have,' Dyer said in the WFAA interview. 'Those kinds of things didn't happen.'
Monnig's wife Lisa echoed his sentiment.
'It was pretty scary,' Lisa Monnig said about the day her husband entered the apartment. 'I was awake until he got home that night.'
No doubt Monnig is now feeling that pit in her stomach again as she and her family are forced to wait out the next two days it will take to determine whether Monnig managed to catch the dreaded virus.
Mr Duncan, 42, died on Wednesday morning at Texas Health Presbyterian Hospital, two weeks after developing symptoms of the virus.
Sgt Monnig told medics at the Frisco clinic today that he had been in contact with first victim Mr Duncan and had not been wearing protective clothing.

he CareNow clinic was immediately placed in lock-down because Monnig was exhibiting signs of the deadly virus - including feeling sick and appearing flushed with a fever.
The CDC told MailOnline today that the person is not one of the 48 contacts being monitored, and there is no indication of any direct contact with the initial patient, Mr Duncan.
None of the 48 individuals with verified or possible contact with the patient has shown symptoms, the CDC said today.
Sgt Monnig's son, Logan Monnig, told CBS that his father had woken up with 'stomach issues' and had gone to the clinic as a precaution.
Logan said family were told by the CDC that their father was not at risk of the virus, as he had only been in the apartment for 30 minutes and had not come in contact with bodily fluids.
'We are not expecting him to' test positive for Ebola, said Logan.
A father who had taken his teenage son to the clinic to get a flu shot on Wednesday told WFAA that the man entered the clinic with his wife, appeared flushed and was hunched over.
Chuck Moreno said that he and his son had self-quarantined in an exam room, put on surgical masks and sprayed themselves with disinfectant.
Sgt Monnig answered yes in a screening questionnaire to a question about travel to West Africa and is said to have contact with Duncan, referred to as ‘patient zero’.
The Frisco patient was rushed to Texas Health Presbyterian Hosptial by ambulance after turning up at the urgent care clinic on Main Street.
Medics at the clinic called 911 at around 12.30pm to request an ambulance for the patient. A team in hazmat suits and face masks transported the law enforcement officer.
A hospital spokesman said: 'Texas Health Presbyterian Dallas can confirm today that a patient has been admitted to the Emergency Room after reporting possible exposure to the Ebola virus.
'Right now, there are more questions than answers about this case. Our professional staff of nurses and doctors is prepared to examine the patient, discuss any findings with appropriate agencies and officials.

'We are on alert with precautions and systems in place. At the same time, we are caring for routine cases which are completely separate in operations.'
The clinic was keeping everyone at the center until they are checked out by the CDC - it is unknown how many people were exposed to the patient.
All those at the clinic will be transferred to a hospital but it is unclear which medical facility.
While no doubt in a fearful and nearvous state now, Mr. Monnig's career has often hinged largely on his physical toughness, even more so than most cops.
The large-framed Monnig once worked as a sort of human punching bag for incoming Dallas County police recruits who learned how to use batons by beating Monnig.
At least that was his job until 2008, when Monnig was temporarily terminated from the police force after getting seriously injured during one of his brutal training sessions.
He was unable to work in active duty and the force was apparently not interested in giving him a desk job.

""This is particularly possible scenario if the disease gets to Haiti or Central America, he said. If the disease gets to countries like Guatemala, Honduras or El Salvador, it will cause a panic and people will flee the region, the general said.

“If it breaks out, it’s literally, ‘Katie bar the door,’ and there will be mass migration into the United States,” Kelly said. “They will run away from Ebola, or if they suspect they are infected, they will try to get to the United States for treatment.”
At that time, a group of men “were waiting in line to pass into Nicaragua and then on their way north,” he recalled. “The embassy person walked over and asked who they were and they told him they were from Liberia and they had been on the road about a week,” Kelly continued. “They met up with the network in Trinidad and now they were on their way to the United States -- illegally, of course.” Those men, he said, “could have made it to New York City and still be within the incubation period for Ebola.”"

"Secure the border. Don’t let anyone into the country illegally. Catch and discourage those who try to enter illegally. And, stop all tourists, legal immigrants, visitors, whomever, from countries or areas of the world that have diseases like Ebola and Enterovirus and any other widespread deadly contagions. Quarantine any citizens returning from the infected areas."
