New Ebola Czar believes in population control
I think, I think the top leadership issue in the world today is how to deal with the continuing, growing population of the world and all the resource demands it places on the world and uh uh burgeoning populations in Africa and Asia that lack the resources to have a happy healthy life and I think we have got to find a way to make the world work for everyone…. Climate change is an issue that impacts that greatly.
~ Former Democrat operative and newly-appointed Ebola Czar Ron Klain, in a 2008 Georgetown University interview advocating population control, American Thinker, October 23
Dang. With the election of our first African-American president, one would hope that our nation is past that ugly racism which still fears the other races in other nations.
But the ruling classes have been concerned about the “Yellow Peril” for over a century, and this present regime still suffers from that paranoia. Obama has shown no emotional or cultural connection to Africa, in spite of the fact that his father’s family are there. (Nothing, that is, except to encourage a “right to abortion” in Kenya’s new constitution).
=======================
A few years ago, Dale Ahlquist addressed the American Chesterton Society and shared an anecdote about a population control advocate (whom he respectfully did not name) speaking at a respected university. This eugenicist urged drastic measures — deploying an airborne ebola virus that would decimate the human populations in Asia and the southern hemisphere. This was the only way to save the Earth from the terrible plague of humanity. AND THE MEGALOMANIAC GOT A STANDING OVATION FROM THE CROWD!
I would love to heap scorn upon the Ron Klain of 2008. I hope that he has repented of this opinion since. But the sad truth is that those evil words are merely a reflection of the opinion of many world leaders and elites. The Culture of Death is very strong among the very rich.

When Obama comes to Philly, he spends his time with wealthy contributors. He never even goes to the ‘hood, where he received 99 percent of the vote. Yet most black folks still love him. Go figure.
I have nothing against NON-COERCIVE, VOLUNTARY population management programs — educating women about the benefits of smaller families, providing safe, non-abortifacient contraceptives, etc. but it seems like efforts like this are rare. As a person of color, the term “population control” makes me nervous!

Yep Del, with their private jets, vast estates, etc., they leave a bigger carbon footprint then the rest of us “regular people” put together!

When I was 18 I registered to vote as a democrat and at the time I was so proud to be American.
I never felt the gut-sinking disappointment in either Bush as I feel now about Obama. Worst president ever.

Why is it that he makes having a happy healthy life and being populous mutually exclusive?
From Human Life International:
“And while it is true that dramatic economic growth, especially in its earlier stages, does not necessarily equate with sustained improvement in standard of living, it is worth noting that Standard Bank predicts a boom in the “middle class” of several Sub-Saharan nations with high fertility rates, matching what is a well-established trend of upward mobility for many in China and India.”

With all due respects to any dems who might be reading, I did work with some really nice people. I also knew some big wig repubs who didn’t give a rat’s behind about anyone other than themselves and only pretended to be prolife.
In the end though, I couldn’t stay with a party that would have supported my killing my children or my grandparents in the name of helping others.

If the self described ‘elite’ believe the planet is grossly over populated and the answer is to de-populate then I suggest they practice what they preach and bore a hole large enough in diameter to accommodate each of them with two like minded zealots under each arm.

Why is ‘American Thinker’ claiming Klain is pushing for population control. The excerpt provided above speaks of “we have got to find a way to make the world work for everyone…” He’s talking about the need for enough resources for everyone, not reducing the population. All he mentions is resource provision, not of any need to control population. I guess this is just another oblique attack on Obama.

Nobody expects Obama to do anything competent about ebola in America and in the world. Although many people still hope to be surprised by something hopeful. Hope, hope, hope’n’hope.
Maybe Klain was talking about something other than the need for contraception, abortion, and aggressive population control in Africa. Dear Reality, what do you suppose that ‘something other’ might have been?
Was he advocating that Americans should cut back on our consumption, settle our debts, and donate our excess to Africa’s children? He was speaking at a Catholic university — Mother Teresa said many things like that.

“Nobody expects Obama to do anything competent about ebola in America and in the world.” – you missed out ‘who hates Obama so much they’re blinded’ between ‘nobody’ and ‘expects’.
“Although many people still hope to be surprised by something hopeful. Hope, hope, hope’n’hope.” – yeah, that the Obama haters might become at least a little bit rational.
“Maybe Klain was talking about something other than the need for contraception, abortion, and aggressive population control in Africa.” – he must have been, because he doesn’t say what you claim he’s saying, not in the tract above anyway.
“Dear Reality, what do you suppose that ‘something other’ might have been?” – the need to find and secure adequate resources for everyone, as he actually says. You know, the words he actually spoke rather than what you ‘hear’.
“Was he advocating that Americans should cut back on our consumption, settle our debts, and donate our excess to Africa’s children?” – I don’t know Del, he probably should, do you think that’s what he was advocating?
“He was speaking at a Catholic university — Mother Teresa said many things like that.” – yeah, and?

There’s blind hope, and there’s blind hate.
I will keep an open mind.
Name something that Obama has done effectively…. [aside from protecting the abortion industry. He was consistently brilliant at that. Withholding all MedicAid funds from states that refused to contract with Planned Parenthood! Hard on women in need, of course — but great at protecting his allies.]

Feigning ignorance doesn’t exactly boost your credibility Mary. Unless you’ve been living in a bubble, which doesn’t appear to be the case, then you’d know as well as anyone else that Obama has done what has been recommended by the relevant and appropriate experts. And that doesn’t include travel bans.
If republicans choose to be unnecessarily and unjustifiably hard on women in need by not allocating the required portion of funding to PP then they obviously think their state doesn’t need Medicaid funding.

You suggest in your 7:28PM post that hatred of Obama is what motivates criticism of him.
You said it, so back it up. Tell us everything Obama is doing to stop ebola from getting into this country and prove once and for all what Del said is based on hate.

How would knowing (which you actually do, despite your protestations otherwise) what Obama has done about ebola demonstrate that hatred of Obama is what motivates the criticism. The hate inspired criticism spews out at everything and anything Obama does. The fact that you refuse to acknowledge what anyone with sense knows he’s doing about ebola is itself indicative. Del’s words speak for themselves, the fact that he only recognizes Obama’s support for women’s freedom as being the only effective thing he’s done says it all.
Now if only you could enunciate any reason as to why you claim Obama would allow ebola to spread. Or is your claim just another hate inspired event?

The facts are that Obama has done more than one thing effectively – ya’ll probably wouldn’t hate him so much if he hadn’t ;-)

Since Obama has taken action on ebola, even if it isn’t to your liking, then Del is wrong. You can choose whether it’s the action you’ve claimed he took but didn’t or the action he did take that you told us about as well as what you choose to ignore.

It was in reference to Del’s comment on Obama doing nothing about Ebola, as that was what we were discussing, and you know that as well as I do.
Now, if you can’t tell Del or anyone what Obama has done to stop ebola from entering this country, say so. Not a big deal.
1 likes
It may have been what you were discussing but since Del made the broader comment I addressed that.
Despite the fact that you know very well what Obama has done to address the problem here are a few of the actions he has taken – established a military command in Liberia to support civilian efforts, via the CDC – a surge in supplies and medical care to treat victims, funding earmarked to combat the outbreak and develop Ebola treatments and your favorite – appointed an ebola czar. You do realize that most of the necessary procedures for dealing with such a situation were already in place don’t you?

Yes, he’s put our soldiers at risk. I’ve read that Italy isn’t too happy about our soldiers being quarantined there before returning to the US. I have no problem with helping victims. However you still haven’t told us what he’s doing to keep ebola out of the country. You know, like the Australian Prime Minister who has closed his country to any entry from ebola infected countries.
I don’t know if he appointed a czar though.

You kept referring to Del’s comment, so did I.
“Yes, he’s put our soldiers at risk.” – so now you don’t want him to take action?
“I’ve read that Italy isn’t too happy about our soldiers being quarantined there before returning to the US.” – where did you read that?
“I have no problem with helping victims. However you still haven’t told us what he’s doing to keep ebola out of the country.” – dealing with the problem at it’s origin minimizes the risks of it being spread. You know, treat the epidemic before it becomes a pandemic.
“You know, like the Australian Prime Minister who has closed his country to any entry from ebola infected countries.” – well not ‘any’ entry. Hey, if they did that’d mean Obama wouldn’t be able to attend the G20! What do you think about that? Did you also read that the responsible agencies in both countries say travel bans are not the way to go?
“I don’t know if he appointed a czar though.” – that doesn’t surprise me.

He could make it so much easier by simply doing what the prime minister of Australia is doing. Apparently the PM of Australia takes action and does not just appoint another gov’t bureaucrat, like you know who.
Treating at the point of origin is only putting our soldiers at risk and not making the Italians too happy. Check google.
Reality, I said ebola infected countries, that does not include the US, at least not yet.
Travel bans don’t work? Tell that to the Senegalese and Nigerians. They would beg to differ.

Hang on, the PM of Australia hasn’t done exactly as you claimed.
Your switch of position merely reinforces the fact that you will criticize Obama whether he takes action or not or what that action may be.
Treating at the origin is what the experts in that field of medicine recommend.
There have been infections, someone died remember. Therefore Obama shouldn’t be able to attend G20 given the Australian stance.
The travel bans in regards to the US and Australia are what have been declared unnecessary by the relevant experts.
