"Ebola doesn't spread via air. It's not like common cold with sneezing causing the spread of it. It's closer to AIDS." - David Cohn

Re: Patient Being Tested for Ebola in New York After Travel to West Africa - http://www.breitbart.com/Big-Pea...
"I hope you are not serious. You are hoping for a virus with a fatality rate as high as 90% to spread through an American city? Not just any American city - but one of the greatest cities that is at the heart of our financial system (among other economic strongpoints). The moral implication of wishing the disease would spread in a city of 8.3 million people is ghastly." - David Cohn

"I am not a kid. I am a father, a husband and I have a career spanning over a decade. I do not think I know everything. I did not go to government run schools. My last school was private - granted it was Ivy League (yea, I dropped that, deal with it). Not trying to play mind games. Just trying to understand what evidence there is that a coup has taken place in this country and that Obama has become a dictator, as you seem to claim. From what I can tell: Things are moving along just as always. Some things are doing better than before, some are worse. But that's just how life goes and there is no serious collapse of society. And all signs point to the notion that in 2016 there will be another election and peaceful transfer of power and some things after that will get better and some things after that will get worse, but there still will not be a collapse of society/America as we know it. I tend to think that it is the folly of every generation to think that it is the last great..." - David Cohn

"I am not trolling. I sincerely do not believe that Obama is a Muslim. Lots of people don't. As far as I know - all evidence that he is a Muslim has been debunked pretty thoroughly. I think Rev. Wright is probably the best evidence. He was going to that Church for YEARS. Well before he was ever a presidential candidate. Was that a rue? I am not braindead. Or uninformed. I am not a socialist troll. Just a guy with differing opinions. I think it's possible for two intelligent people to disagree." - David Cohn

"In what ways is your freedom of speech curbed while you are in Church? Or is your church curbed in matters of speech about the community? Not only is there freedom of religion in this country still - but freedom of speech. As far as I'm aware - the government is not forcing Church's to say anything they don't want to say. What is the "gag order" that you are talking about? And you believe that liberals and atheists are spying? Like - they secretly go to churches to hear what is going on and report back to the government?" - David Cohn

"I don't think you understood my point in the "I want to be rich" example. One could also say that everything from the Civil War, Suffrage, Civil Rights was fought and won for by northern, progressive, big government believers. They were "Republicans" - but they all believed in BIG government and had progressive ideals and were mostly centered around cities and mercantile/bank economics. Today - that sounds like Democrats more than Republicans. Most republicans today believe in small government, conservative values, rural economics, etc. Those were the ideologies and characteristics of people that fought AGAINST the Union, suffrage and civil rights. But that's more of a history issue and has nothing to do with Obama's supposed dictatorship. Obama does represent the executive branch of government. And indeed the executive branch's power expanded greatly between 2000-2008. But I do not see a dictatorship. And in 2016, when there is another peaceful transfer of power, I want you to..." - David Cohn
