Hypocrisy

Submitted by ub on

I am not a registered Republican, nor a Democrat, but I am a long-time Libra who believes in fairness and always enjoys research. The USA now has 40 thousand deaths and counting. Are we all sick and tired of the lies and hypocrisy yet?

It has been written that when a hypocrite speaks he lies when he gives a promise he breaks it, and when he is trusted he betrays. Does this sound familiar?

Hypocrisy is the false appearance of virtue or goodness while concealing real character traits, especially with respect to religious and moral beliefs; hypocrisy may involve a sham.

hypocrite preaches one thing and does another. ... The word hypocrite means “stage actor, pretender, dissembler.” So think of hypocrites as people who pretend to be a certain way, but really act and believe the total opposite.

Sort of like one who orders others to do as I say, not as I do... So, is Do as I say, not as I do the real Trump philosophy? He hit President Obama for picking an Ebola czar with “zero experience in infectious disease control,” and then put Vice President Pence in charge, who's not a medical expert. Years ago, he said Obama must resign following a couple of US deaths, but after thousands, his memory may be failing.

 

There's always a Tweet or comment which usually comes back to bite him.

Donald Trump once reportedly wanted Americans infected with Ebola to be kept out of their own country. In a series of tweets, Trump said doctors who treat Ebola patients "are great," but shouldn't be allowed to seek treatment back home if they get sick. "Treat them, at the highest level, over there," Trump tweeted, adding: But The Donald didn't stop there. He said the U.S. must "stop all flights from EBOLA infected countries or the plague will start and spread inside our 'borders.'"

Dr. Kent Brantly, the American doctor stricken with Ebola in Africa, returned to the U.S. and improved once he received treatment at Atlanta's Emory University Hospital. His assistant, missionary Nancy Writebol, also contracted the disease while working with patients suffering from ebola. Both were in Liberia, working for Samaritan's Purse, an evangelical Christian relief organization.

The director of the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention appealed for calm in the wake of fears about Americans sickened by Ebola coming to the states. "I hope that our understandable fear of the unfamiliar does not trump our compassion when ill Americans return to the U.S. for care," said Dr. Tom Frieden, according to The Associated Press.  

 No vaccine. No treatment. No surveillance testing. No strategic plan. USA may never get back to normal unless we change.
