Irony on display in my Facebook feed.

So one of my right wing Facebook friends posts a quote blaming President Obama for not doing enough to stop the spread of Ebola in the US.

That's idiotic in and of itself. But then another rightwing Facebook friend of hers chimes in with the following:

"I miss Ronald Reagan."

Yes. Because the one president who had a proven track record of helping to stop the spread of a deadly virus that originated in Africa was.....Ronald Reagan. We know Ronald Reagan would do all that he could to stop that.

One presumably should be informed when one votes. With most of these rightwingers, it's more like copying and pasting.
