Is There a Doctor in the House?

Thomas Eric Duncan, the Liberian national who was hospitalized in Dallas TX with the Ebola virus, has died. He is the first patient in America to die of the virus, but will likely not be the last.

This is not a good time to be without a Surgeon General, Truthseekers. Thanks to pressure from the NRA, Obama's pick for the Top Doc position, Dr. Vivek Murthy, failed to be confirmed in the Senate. Dr. Murthy publicly stated that gun violence is a public health concern in America (no kidding) and the gun nuts went postal on him. The Senate bowed to their masters and here we are -- in the face of a major public health crisis with no Surgeon General.

Once again, the NRA proves itself more concerned with making things dead than keeping them alive.

But the fact that Neocons are responsible for the lack of a Surgeon General has not stopped them from attacking the (nonexistent) Surgeon General for not speaking out about Ebola. Yeah, it's kind of confusing. They are criticizing an entity that doesn't exist and they are responsible for its nonexistence. It's good that we're re-reading Orwell's 1984 on the program right now. This kind of doublethink would make O'Brien proud.
