Wow. The wingnuts never disappoint. Over the last couple of days, characters like Trump and Alex Jones have blasted the Obama administration for bringing American citizens home to be treated for serious diseases they contracted overseas doing the sort of work that would make Jesus smile. In fact they were doing the sort of work that would make small-government libertarians smile (helping a faith-based NGO combat a devastating disease outbreak), except that the decision was approved by President Obama. Therefore it must be condemned as nefarious and a mortal danger to our country.
Mind you, these are the same people who argue that we should invade Mexico to free a jailed Marine who admittedly broke Mexico's laws and whom Mexico is according protections under international law to consult with US consular officials; something the US has failed to do for Mexican prisoners in US jails, including ones that have been executed in the US.
But I digress. Being outraged that an American President has approved bringing American citizens home to give them a chance at life -- citizens who risked their lives in an endeavor that should fill every American heart with pride -- is stunning in its hate-filled insanity.
