The Oink Flu

Let's keep this in perspective.  There is a new strain of the flu out there, which happened to start in Mexico, by all accounts.  Now Janet Napolitano insists we should not be calling it the "swine" flu, and has renamed it.  Really...does it matter what we call it?  Do we really have to be politically correct even when it comes to illness names? Maybe we should call it the Mexican flu, but wait...that won't do because that insinuates it started in Mexico and may offend them in some way...hmmmm, well I'm at a loss and just don't know which way to turn.  

Whatever it gets labeled as, I just don't think the Dept. of Homeland Security needs to be involved.  Why are they involved?  Isn't this a medical and health issue?  Why aren't the big medical associations and the government run health departments the ones who are doing the press conferences and renaming duties?   What is alarming to me is how we are supposed to be listening to people in the government who really should be dealing with closing borders to illegal immigrants and deporting all the illegals who are living off our tax dollars simply because they had the nerve to come here (ILLEGALLY, by the way), have children, and declare they have a right to live here as if they are American citizens because their children are citizens born here.  Not to mention all the drug activity and violence that is happening because of cartels who ILLEGALLY cross the border with their guns and drugs and cause chaos...come on Ms. Napolitano, lets get on the right track here.  You come from Arizona...can't you focus on what the majority of citizens here are concerned with??

Next thing we know...we will be told we have to line up for some sort of vaccine that is supposed to prevent and/or cure this new flu...whether we want to or not.  

I vote we call it the "Oink Flu".  Achoo!
