Ben Carson: eminent neurosurgeon, idiot politician

[whitepug6]

Dr. Carson: "[W]hat I have said consistently is we need to seal our borders—but not just the southern border, the northern border, the Pacific border, the Atlantic border, every border. We can use a whole series of things to do that, not just fences and walls but electronic surveillance, drones and many of the techniques that are used to keep people out of top secret places."

How can you do that when half the current illegal immigrant population entered the US legally? Federal law allows tourists from 38 countries to enter the US without a visa. People from other countries can get a temporary work or school visa and remain in the country.

So Carson would have the federal government build a Berlin Wall around the entire continental United States, eliminate the visa waiver program (which would cripple the American tourism and retail industries), and track every foreigner who is visiting the United States?

And you think the Democrats are the ones who want BIG GOVERNMENT?

Oh, and there's more!

Dr. Carson: "All of those things are available to us. We have the ability to do it, we just don't have the will to do it. That will change when we have the right administration in place. The reason that is so important—a lot of people think there are just people coming from the south of the border—there are radical global jihadists who want to destroy us and our way of life and we have to keep them out. We have to make it not easy for them to get in here. This is a matter of our own security."

Since 11 September 2001, every Islamic terrorist attack on US soil was committed by people who were either native-born Americans or came here legally. A Berlin Wall would do nothing to prevent a terrorist attack.

Another priceless quote:

Dr. Carson: "[O]nce we have that border sealed, we have to turn off the spigot that dispenses the goodies. If there are no goodies, guess what? They won't come. It won't be worth trying to get through our borders if there are no goodies. That includes employment—we should make it illegal to employ people in this country who are not legally here."

There are already laws prohibiting the employment of illegal immigrants, and most welfare programs for illegal immigrants have been shut off since the 1990s.

Dr. Carson actually has a brilliant mind...both professionally and politically.

 

[d-dawg]

Liberals hate conservative black presidential candidates. It Goes against the narrative that they have been preaching since LBJ. Always have and always will.

LOL Oooooooohhhhhkayyyyyy. Keep believing that. The lunatic fringe right wing of the Republican Party is going to deliver the Latino electorate to the Democratic Party for generations to come.

The American people are not interested in that old culture war snake oil---abortion, illegal immigration, gay marriage. But hey, go ahead and try to sell that poison to the people! The Republicans will lose again and again.

He wants to seal the borders from all directions..nothing wrong with that . Ever heard of the Cuban boat lift ...guess what? Miami is a war zone now with the Cuban mafia making all the calls. Yes you have to close all borders. He wants to quit giving benefits to all of the illeagals too. Ok. its documented on so many levels that healthcare and other benefits are being abused ..just open your eyes or go to any emergency room.

Ok. its documented on so many levels that healthcare and other benefits are being abused ..just open your eyes.

You are badly informed about immigrants---they are net contributors to the US welfare system. In 1996, the IRS began issuing ID numbers to enable illegal immigrants who don't have Social Security numbers to file tax returns. According to the IRS, each year close to 8 million of the 12 million or so illegal aliens in the country file personal income tax returns using the alternative numbers. For example, in 2010, undocumented workers paid $11.2 billion in federal and state taxes.

It is NOT "documented on so many levels that healthcare and other benefits are being abused". Here's some documentation that proves your ignorance (WARNING: the linked report is written by a professional, intelligent person. Low-information types may not understand the data): http://www.fas.org/sgp/crs/misc/RL33809.pdf

 

[whitepug6]

Dr. Carson: "They tell you that there’s a war on women. There is no war on women. There may be a war on what’s inside of women, but there is no war on women in this country."

Wait a minute. The insides of women aren't women? I am confused by this distinction. Please continue, Doctor. LOL

He is nuttier than a squirrel turd.

 

[whitepug6]

Dr. Carson: "You know, Obamacare is really, I think, the worst thing that has happened in this nation since slavery. And it is, in a way—it is slavery in a way because it is making all of us subservient to the government."

The Affordable Care Act is worse than segregation, lack of voting rights, and Japanese internment during World War II? He is an idiot.

 

[whitepug6]

Dr. Carson actually has a brilliant mind...both professionally and politically.

As Dr. Frankenstein proved, being a brilliant surgeon doesn't necessarily mean one possesses good judgement in other fields.

 

[whitepug6]

Chris Wallace asked Dr. Carson if he really believed there might not be elections in 2016 because of widespread anarchy.

Dr. Carson: “Well, I hope that that’s not going to be the case, but certainly there is the potential. Because you have to recognize that we have a rapidly increasing national debt, a very unstable financial foundation. And you have all these things going on like the ISIS crisis that could very rapidly change things that are going on in our nation. And unless we begin to deal with these things in a comprehensive way, and in a logical way, there is no telling what could happen in just a matter of a couple of years.”

While it is true that the debt is increasing and ISIS is a problem, it doesn't even remotely follow that anarchy is growing in the United States or that for those reasons, America won't be able to hold state and federal elections in 2016---that is nutty logic at best.

 

[whitepug6]

On gun control:

Dr. Carson: "It depends on where you live. I think if you live in the midst of a lot of people, and I’m afraid that that semi-automatic weapon is going to fall into the hands of a crazy person, I would rather you not have it."

So Carson's position is that he should decide if you should own guns based on where you live. NUTTIER THAN A SQUIRREL TURD.

 

[FeralDawg]

So is Obama's idea that if you're in the White House you should have a bigger fence around you, BUT...if you live in the rest of the country there should be no borders.
If you're the President you should be surrounded by armed men but if you live in the rest of the country we need your guns confiscated.
See how 2 can play the word games.
There are none so blind.
I like how you call out Carsons intelligence. You should compare your
bank account to the Donald, or debate Rubio En Espanol. It's obvious you're just bent with the Republicans. That's OK. But don't be silly. You come off like Tina Fey.

The reality is that few journalists (or even the American people) question President Obama's sanity. Unfortunately, that's not true of Dr. Carson.

 

[conCOCKshon]

I don't like Obama. He's been in the job nearly 7 years and still acts like he just started. He's petulant, arrogant and seems to have insulted or ticked off nearly everyone. He's clearly the most divisive POTUS in my lifetime (circa 1960). He and that idiot AG have set back race relations in this country 40 years. You can disagree with the politics of Presidents like Reagan, Nixon or W but nobody has ever doubted or questioned the devotion those men had for the country. I seriously question how Obama truly feels about the country. And, there's no doubt in my mind that Big Chelle doesn't care too much for the U.S. I can't wait for him to leave. Worst POTUS ever, and it's not even close. Frankly,I never thought anyone could be worse than Carter. At least JC can go to his grave knowing he's no longer the worst.

Excellent job agent WP6. All of us at democrat HQ appreciate you carrying out directives from the latest conference call. Carson is a serious threat and we must use our most effective tactics to slow his progress. We must make him look stupid, by taking what he says and twist it to sound like an old "ignant house boy". Keep him down on the farm where he belongs. No matter what he says just repeat "that's impossible and unrealistic". "use racism or bigotry whenever possible". This will be hard with target because he is black so you may want to make him seem like some sort of "Uncle Tom, as we like to say". He is off the democratic plantation and needs to be reigned in. Just keep calling him stupid like we did with Palin and Quail, it will eventually take because many Americans don't pay close enough attention to politics and just want to feel intelegent by going along with what someone else says. Keep repeating things as though they are facts and people will assume they are true. Over and out.
p.s. Next weeks tickle party is at 8, not 9 o clock. Don't be late and bring extra kook-aid.

Iowa radio talk show host Steve Deace: "Do our rights really come from God? Or do they come from the mob, do they come from the state?"

Dr. Carson: "I think you’re right about that. The Constitution actually [inaudible] this message. It says that those kinds of matters are in the jurisdiction of the state. That is not a federal issue. And, what the president and what the Supreme Court needs to reiterate is the states have a mechanism whereby they can determine the will of the people. It’s called ballot referendum. It has been done multiple times already. 32 states have indicated that marriage is between a man and a woman, and a few judges have come and overturn that. That, as far as I’m concerned, is unconstitutional. And Congress actually has oversight of what they call the inferior courts, everything below the Supreme Court. That’s where those overturns have come. When judges do not carry out their duties in an appropriate way, our Congress actually has the right to reprimand or remove them. Most people don’t know that because they don’t know the Constitution."

The US Constitution states that federal judges can only be removed for "impeachable offenses", which are defined as "treason, bribery, or other high crimes and misdemeanors". Dr. Carson doesn't know that, not only because he really doesn't know the Constitution, but also because he is as nutty as a squirrel turd.

Radio host Hugh Hewitt: "How would you respond if Russian President Vladimir Putin engaged in hostile action against the Baltic states of Latvia, Estonia, and Lithuania?"

Dr. Carson: “We need to convince them to get involved in NATO and strengthen NATO.”

Hewitt: "They are already part of the alliance."

Dr. Carson: “Well, when you were saying Baltic state, I thought you were continuing our conversation about the former components of the Soviet Union. Obviously, there’s only three Baltic states.”

Hewitt: “Right, and they’re all part of NATO."

 

[whitepug6]

Radio host Hugh Hewitt: "How would you deal with Islamic terrorism?"

Dr. Carson: “You have to recognize that they go back thousands and thousands of years — really back to the battle between Jacob and Esau.”

Hewitt: “Dr. Carson, you know, Mohammed lives in 632 A.D. So it’s a 13, a 1,400-year-old religion. How do you go back to Jacob and Esau, which is B.C.?”

Dr. Carson: “I’m just saying that the conflict has been ongoing for thousands of years. This is not anything new, is what I’m saying.”

GQ writer Jason Zengerle: "Do you think the unrest in Baltimore is indicative of a larger problem?"

Dr. Carson: “In no way am I saying that all the police are righteous, by no stretch of the imagination. We need to get to the bottom of any problems of discrimination. But the larger issue here is, how do you react when something is wrong? If you have an unpleasant experience with a plumber, do you go out and declare a war on all plumbers?"

A plumber's screw up is unlikely to result in someone's death, and there doesn't seem to be a pattern of plumbers screwing up only for their black customers around the country.

For a self-proclaimed "Professional Historian" you're pretty stupid, you condescending POS. Your disdain for anything Republican is crystal clear, which I really don't have a problem. I'm not a fan of establishment Republicans either. However, when you start dissecting every word of a brilliant conservative and take it as literal policy you really do show your ignorance and narrow-mindedness.

Each of your ridiculous disagreements with Dr. Carson could be taken apart extremely easy but, I don't have all day nor do I feel like getting in an argument on the internet with a mental midget.

But, what I will do quickly is point out your ignorance in relation to this posting about undocumented workers paying 11.2 billion in federal and state taxes:
On average, unlawful immigrant house holds received $24,721 per house hold in government benefits and services in FY2010. This figure includes direct benefits, means-tested benefits, education, and population-based services received by the household but excludes the cost of public goods, interest on government debt, and other payments prior government functions. By contrast, unlawful immigrant households on average paid only $10,334 in taxes. Thus, unlawful immigrant households received $2.40 in benefits and services for each dollar paid in taxes. All unlawful immigrant household together [in 2010] received $93.7 billion in government benefits and services and paid $39.2 billion, yielding an aggregate annual deficit of $54.5 billion.

Your perceived intelligence is truly annoying to those of us who do actually know something.

you must spend a lot of time doing research to prepare for your periodic appearances on this site, i guess you go to a liberal site to obtain the lib talking points . computers make that fairly easy to do , very obvious . only 24% of voters claim to be liberal, so most on here are not interested in liberalism !

What facts do you want? Economy still anemic. Race relations worst in decades. Obamacare is not working. Healthcare is far more expensive and is worse. Treats Israel like crap. Campaigns instead of leading the nation.

 

[d-dawg]

Very easy to see the libs fear Carson the most. It makes me think that he might be the best candidate. They won't be able to play the race card against the pubs like they would with other candidates. That has always been a big part of the liberal playbook to scream racism from the roof tops. So, I'm guessing that if that doesn't work, it will be the "war on women " narrative against Carson.

more whites are killed by police. Blacks commit the majority of all crime. So what would you want the police to do, not arrest them because they're black? No defend themselves because blacks attack them? Blacks have killed 8 police officers in the last week.

Why do you libs think blacks are so stupid? Why do you treat them like pets? Lets be honest, black culture is a cancer, it produces savages and stupid ppl. Until blacks clean up their own house, they're going to be put in jail and be killed in the ACT of committing crimes.

No OTOH you libs and blacks DGAS that blacks slaughter each other by the dozens daily. That too according to stupid libs is the white mans fault too. Typical liberals, its always someone else's fault. Damn ppl like you sicken me.

However, when you start dissecting every word of a brilliant conservative and take it as literal policy you really do show your ignorance and narrow-mindedness.

Each of your ridiculous disagreements with Dr. Carson could be taken apart extremely easy but, I don't have all day nor do I feel like getting in an argument on the internet with a mental midget.

But, what I will do quickly is point out your ignorance in relation to this posting about undocumented workers paying 11.2 billion in federal and state taxes:
On average, unlawful immigrant house holds received $24,721 per house hold in government benefits and services in FY2010. This figure includes direct benefits, means-tested benefits, education, and population-based services received by the household but excludes the cost of public goods, interest on government debt, and other payments prior government functions. By contrast, unlawful immigrant households on average paid only $10,334 in taxes. Thus, unlawful immigrant households received $2.40 in benefits and services for each dollar paid in taxes. All unlawful immigrant household together [in 2010] received $93.7 billion in government benefits and services and paid $39.2 billion, yielding an aggregate annual deficit of $54.5 billion.

Your perceived intelligence is truly annoying to those of us who do actually know something.

OK, since you actually claim to know something, and since each of my ridiculous disagreements with Dr. Carson can be taken apart extremely easily, I'll call you on your bluff: Just take one disagreement apart extremely easily:

Dr. Carson: And Congress actually has oversight of what they call the inferior courts, everything below the Supreme Court. That’s where those overturns have come. When judges do not carry out their duties in an appropriate way, our Congress actually has the right to reprimand or remove them. Most people don’t know that because they don’t know the Constitution."

Article II, Section 4 of the US Constitution states that federal judges can only be removed for "impeachable offenses", which are defined as "treason, bribery, or other high crimes and misdemeanors".

Let's see if you can back up your boast. I'll check back with you.

whitepug6 you are the worst sort of racist! You qualify your racism with a yes but. He is a good worker but an idiot when it comes to his mental capacity is what you just said. An idiot who is fit only to labor away. I think it may be you own close minded hatred and non-acceptance that is on display here.

That's a poor attempt to deflect criticism. I've never once mentioned Dr. Carson's ethnicity.

Yep, no problem, since your reading comprehension is so Gawd awful terrible. You, with your infinite wisdom {{sarcasm}}, just made the case for me:

do not carry out their duties in an appropriate way, our Congress actually has the right to reprimand or remove them.

That is all Dr. Carson is saying. He obviously didn't mean Congress could remove them because a certain court case didn't go their way. For a college professor, you're not very bright.

Now, if you want to debate whether Congress has the Authority to review certain court decisions we can do that too:

Of course, review and consideration of particular court decisions or other judicial acts are well within the purview of Congress’ legislative authority. For instance, Congress has the legislative authority to amend statutes that it believes were misinterpreted by court cases, or to propose amendments to the Constitution that it believes would rectify erroneous constitutional decisions.

It must be a slow day over at the Daily Kos for you spend so much of your time on a sports forum trying to lecture intelligent adults.

May I suggest you go back to the college teachers lounge you supposedly teach at and try to lecture to those other left wing imbeciles?
