    Well isn't this special.

    This drug-resistant fungal infection originates from South America and South Asia.

    Let me repeat that for you alt-lefties, it originates from South America and South Asia.

    And where have the tens of thousands of refugees and illegal immigrants been coming from the past few years?????

    All politics aside, at least remember this -- when in doubt (and it looks like there is a lot of doubt about this new strain), the world's best antibiotic, antifungal, antimicrobial agent known until about the 1920's was GARLIC. Point is, if there were suddenly an outbreak in Colorado, where I live, and everybody is running around in a panic, I'd take lots of garlic, garlic extract, and cleanse my body with it, externally and internally. You won't make many friends while you're doing this, but it could keep you from getting really sick if this strain is for real.

    The left is responsible for massive, illegal immigration from the third world. We're all paying for the idiocy of liberals.

    the native Americans were infected by disease from invading european immigrants, we must not allow native Americans today to suffer the same fate.

    You are correct. The entire left wants to flood the country with illegals while only the GOP establishment agrees with them. The lefties want the votes and the GOP establishment wants the cheap labor. The rest of us with common sense just want it to stop.

    The right has tried to pass comprehensive immigration reform. The left has refused to go along because Republicans have insisted that stopping illegal immigration must be part of that reform. Democrats will never agree to any reform that stops illegal immigration.

    You make a good, penetrating point... and it is one that has more than a few of my fellow Right-wingers sputtering with weak excuses and rationalizations.

    Truth (and you, rahl, more than most, should know that I do seek to adhere to the TRUTH whenever I'm sure of what it is), is that many Right-wingers have simply looked the other way about the swarms of illegal aliens that have packed themselves into this country for over 80 years, and especially since the end of WWII. Why? Truth? They worked hard, and they worked cheap! They outworked everybody else, for less money, and never complained about anything until the Mexican grape-pickers in California started raising hell out there.

    To this very day there are many owners of small businesses and large ones, too, who barely even bother to go through the motions of checking to see if someone applying for a job (especially work involving manual labor, the "trades", etc.) even has a valid work permit or a Social Security number. When these owners and bosses get caught, they just shrug and protest their innocence, even though it is universally known that huge numbers of illegals make up the populations of these categories of workers.

    There is plenty of blame to go around... Capitalist Republicans looked the other way and were happy to have "Pancho" and "Fernando" come to work hard for peanuts, send all the money back to their families in Mexico, and then return there themselves. Socialist Democrats saw in these illegals the opportunity to cultivate and breed their own constituency, so they made it easy for "Pancho" and "Fernando" to bring their pregnant wives, existing children, immediate family members, remote family members, and everybody else who could wander in here to do so, get on the Democrat welfare handout systems, and VOTE -- for Democrats, of course.

    I curse both the go-along-to-get-along RINO Right-wingers, and the hyperliberal, America-hating, radical Democrats (like "Justice" Sotomayor). Any employer in the United States who is proven to have willfully or even negligently hired illegal aliens of any kind, from any foreign country, should be thrown in prison for at least one full year, and suffer a fine of not less than $50,000 per illegal alien hired (for the FIRST offense). As for the radical, "enabler" Democrats? They should get exactly the same punishment! Is that not fair, rahl? Is that not the truth...? It is also true that there are many more "emerging" disease strains in the Third World (especially in the warmer tropical regions) than in countries with more sanitary conditions, better medicines, etc. All of that is being imported with the illegal aliens, too. It's been well-documented....

    But the dismal, miserable truth is that no one in either political party is going to stop it now, especially after Hilarity Clinton is installed in the White House. She panders to all minorities endlessly, because she needs them like the air she breathes... at least until the election is won... then she can go back to running government like a gigantic whorehouse for her "Foundation" contributors.... :smile:

    Western Europeans (the white evil white man) created more cures for diseases than all Native Americans.

    They caught the damn fungal disease from all the illegal immigrants coming to this country from south america, and from refugees and H1B1 workers from south asia.

    Do you understand now????

    Wow! In over eight years that's the first nice (almost) thing I can recall that you ever had to say about my viewpoints. I must be making progress. Good! After Hilarity is elected, you're going to see a BIG change in me. I'm sick and weary of fighting "Rome", rahl. I'm sick of trying to champion the protection of American values, the American Constitution, American ethics, American success, and every good thing in this country that has been ground down into the dirt of lies, corruption, treason, and "situation-ethics". If the American public is really going to elect a stoopid, reckless criminal like Hillary Clinton to any office, especially after having elected, and RE-elected a damned nothingness like Barack Obama, then I'll be done with it. Stay tuned! We may just end up on the same side yet, General.... The idea of just locking my doors, loading my guns, and collecting what the government owes ME becomes more and more appealing every day that we live in this "Socialism-lite" hell. The Russians and the Chinese will change everything in this world about another ten years, rahl, but with any luck, I'll be dead by then.... :smile:

    they have found many cures for diseases they cause, like heart attacks from cheeseburgers.

    dick cheney has survived several heart attacks from the past 30 years.

    Please try to distinguish the current Republican establishment from that likely to eventually prevail if Trump wins.

    Ah, so while all the experts are uncertain of the vector for this disease YOU have pinned it down. So tell us
    how you did it? Was it door-to-door sleuthing? Late-night blood tests?
