This theory about the President's attitude toward America has been around for a long time now. I've always resisted it, but I have to admit that where his actions regarding the ebola threat are concerned nothing else makes sense.


The President romanticizes countries like Sierra Leone as being the victims of colonization and US imperialism who would be every bit as prosperous and advanced as the US if it were not for the oppression they went through. Riven by corruption and poverty, they are still morally superior to the US in the President's eyes.

You know to a certain extent is thinking like this that is virtually fascistic in nature.

To many on the right, because Obama doesn't share the same views and does exactly what they want him to do when they didn't elect him that somehow that means he's not American.

It's the strange idea that to be a "true American" you must adhere to a very strict code to be considered American which is very antithetical to what America should be about which is individual freedom, deciding for yourself and voting and acting on your conscience on issues that you care about.

The idea that Obama or anyone else is "Rolling out the red carpet for Ebola" is ridiculous as is this entire article which is made up of every extremist right wing talking point in the book.

That Obama is not an American, but a foreign, marxist infiltrator that is trying to destroy the country.

It's ****ing nuts and it's never been true.
 

I wanted to comment on this but Boggieman ****ing knocked this softball right out of the park.
 
On another forum a great American ultra conservative once told me I could not have been a Marine because I did not share all their ultraconservative beliefs. I think this is an insecurity shared by people who allow a dogma to think for them. Everyone who dont share in that dogma is agianst them.
 

I've been saying for a while that we should bring the fascist lean back. There's so many posters on here that put their lean as Libertarian - Right or Conservative that would really just be better described as fascist. Some of the crap coming from these posters, like travel bans and quarantines, especially over something as small as ebola, is not conservative or libertarian on any planet I can think. Add in that some of these posters want opposing parties banned and think our President should be deported, and that just kinda rounds out the whole picture.

I oppose travel bans because I believe it's counterproductive but I think sometimes you have to believe in the purity of ones beliefs, that they are not believing a certain thing for nefarious purposes.

I understand and accept the concerns of those who want a travel ban, but I also believe that those concerns are baseless and shrouded in fear of something they do not understand coupled with many irresponsible news shows, web pages and even posters on this site stirring up false information about the virus, airborne being one of the worst lies about it.

What I was speaking of was more this idea that to be "American" in the eyes of far too many on the right, you have to adhere to a very strict, uniformed code of what it means to them, when America has always been changing and shifting and that individual freedom to be ones own person trumps their ideals of a homogeneous society where all believe and behave as they do.
 


President Obama has been rolling out the red carpet for Ebola. His policy is not designed to keep the American people safe from the deadly airborne virus that is ravaging West Africa.

What a bunch of bull****. How typical. A source full of lies and a conservative saying "I hate to say it, but the communist fascist socialist president hates america!"
 
The Obama ebola policy is not anti-American but is certainly quite strange; for the military it is a 21 day quarantine (upon leaving the world's known ebola hot spots) but for all others it is subject to change without (much) notice.

Much like the use of (50K+?) TSA nannies (invented by Bush) our federal gov't seems to have the urge to "do something" and then leaves the implementation "details" up to some unelected officials. Why we need more TSA nannies than border security agents and ICE agents combined has never been explained.
