Two doctors went to Africa to improve medical care for people there, and, being Christian missionaries to boot, spread the Good News while they were at it.
After having been exposed to it, Dr. Kent Brantly of Samaritan’s Purse and Nancy Writebol of Service in Mission contracted Ebola, and, being citizens of the United States, were brought home for treatment.
The born-again Christian queen Ann Colter was not too happy that American citizens came home from the “disease-ridden cesspool” that is Africa for medical treatment.
She wasn’t even all that happy that the two of them had chosen to do medical-missionary work there in the first place.
“If Dr. Brantly had practiced at Cedars-Sinai hospital in Los Angeles and turned one single Hollywood power-broker to Christ, he would have done more good for the entire world than anything he could accomplish in a century spent in Liberia”.
Apparently the one soul of a Hollywood power-broker has more value than any number of Liberians.
Christians, whom she has preyed upon for years because they willingly bought the invective she threw out about people they didn’t like have objected to her now that she spoke against their own.
Remember how it was in the early days of the AIDS pandemic when they thought it only affected Gay men so it was pretty much okay to ignore it and those who got it.
Then it was discovered that the virus actually respected no sexual orientation.
Christians got it. Christians found compassion.

Remember when the Westboro Baptist Church picketed the funerals of people who died of AIDS, and it was okay?
But then they spread their hate to picketing funerals of military men, and then it suddenly became a bad thing.
Well, this is sort of like that.
Whatever Ann Colter said about certain people, no matter how untrue, was perfectly fine. But, now she went after two of their own, and she is bad now.
Susan M. Grant, the head nurse where the missionaries were taken to in Atlanta, asserted that Americans will benefit from what is learned by treating the patients.
“These Americans generously went to Africa on a humanitarian mission to help eradicate a disease that is especially deadly in countries without our health-care infrastructure. They deserve the same selflessness from us. To refuse to care for these professionals would raise enormous questions about the ethical foundation of our profession.”
I am sure the religious community will now go after Colter, as they will Donald Trump who tweeted:
“Ebola patient will be brought to the U.S. in a few days – now I know for sure that our leaders are incompetent. KEEP THEM OUT OF HERE!”
“Stop the EBOLA patients from entering the U.S. Treat them, at the highest level, over there. THE UNITED STATES HAS ENOUGH PROBLEMS!”
“The U.S. cannot allow EBOLA infected people back. People that go to far away places to help out are great-but must suffer the consequences!”,
and Dr. Ben Carson, another favorite of the conservatives and the religious right, and who went after President Obama at the 2013 National Prayer Breakfast, who said it was a mistake to bring the missionaries home when doctors could have flown to Liberia to treat them.
Once again situational ethics will trump religious conviction, and what was okay when applied to others will be condemned when applied to themselves.
Perhaps, as crude as she actually was with her heartless remarks, Ann Colter may be instrumental in exposing the hypocrisy of the religious people who need a good examination of conscience to see how their heartless remarks about others have been as hurtful.
