Ben Carson may not be flashy or outspoken, but he's very intelligent and more qualified than our present President. What are your thoughts?

Yes he is....a nutter

*Young earth creationist most likely. Thinks evolution is the work of the "adversary" -- the devil. I kid you not.
*Has some crazy theory that the pyramids were built by the Hebrews to store grain.
*Thinks you "learn to be gay" in prison.
*Compared Obamacare to slavery.
*Thinks the US is "like" Nazi Germany these days.

Good surgeon? Seems that way. Keys to the nuclear button? Fuck no.

Okay...since the train has now officially left the station:

Lemme see.............the Doc vs., say, Billary? Or Bernie?

Hmmmmmmmmm. Now, THAT's a real 'tuffy', innit! :laugh: 'Choosing between two faaaaaaaaaaaar left socialists who want/stand for/support big gov't, HIGHER taxes (supposedly just on "the rich"[lol!]), more regulation, "social justice", "affirmative action", "Black Lives Matter", "Occupy Wall Street", FREE college tuition for e-v-e-r-y-b-o-d-y, more gun laws, more social programs, single payer health care, open borders, amnesty for illegals (and doing NOTHING about "anchor babies"), "global warming"/"climate change", DOWNSIZING our military, limited action against ISIS/ISIL/Al-Qaeda, et al, and telling Israel to 'show restraint' when attacked, "negotiating" with - and at every opportunity bowing down to - Russia, China, N. Korea, Iran and all the REAL "nutters" around the world (as opposed to taking military action when/where needed).......or a traditionalist who opposes all the above.

Gee...I'll be darned if I know which would logically be the better choice.

'Guess I'll just hafta do a bit more soul searching and get back to y'all... :undecided:

I just read up on Ben Carson (Wikipedia) and at the risk of offending any of his acolytes among us, to me he sounds a little, how can I put it, simple minded? :shifty:

Uh huh. "Simple minded".

How many "simple minded" folks have you heard of who've become THEE foremost figure in their respective professional fields?

Can you name one? Aside from Doctor Ben, that is...

I said he "sounded" simple minded, not that he was. Perhaps he needs a new biographer/publicist. Indeed he seems an eminent physician and bless him for his work, but perhaps he should stick to his day job. I just read the 7th Day Adventist bit and thought perhaps like their founder, how many of Carson's political predictions would bear fruit? He seems to sit aside the fence on a number of issues but I guess that's necessary in American politics.

The Pyramid reference made me smile - I thought Jeff was joking... :)

Ever heard the term idiot savant? Seems pretty appropriate here. He's good at one thing.

He apparently is a complete loon at basic history, sociology, economics, etc.

Okay then, give me an example of another individual who "sounds" simple minded who has become THEE foremost figure in his professional field?

Well, I could do some research but it wouldn't prove anything one way or another so I'll pass on that one...

How much grain do you reckon they could have stored in the Great Pyramid at Giza? Must have been an absolute shedload!

Amazingly, he didn't call you a racist, but there's still time.

Shuddup, Al! I was saving the "RACIST" card to use on him since he's criticizing a BLACK candidate! And, as we all now know (courtesy of Obama supporters), one CANNOT/DOES NOT criticize a black person or his policies for ANY reason other than being a "RACIST".

...just as making that claim re: Carson didn't prove/verify/confirm diddley either.

This is the 1st I've heard about it. I'd have to Google it. 'Not really all that interested.
