So, Dr Ben, who is going to collect taxes to fund your dirty little wars?

“If you’re black, and you oppose the progressive agenda, and you’re
pro-life, and you’re pro-family, they don’t know what to call you,” he
said,
Wrong again, Benny. We know exactly what to call you.

“If you’re black, and you oppose the progressive agenda, and you’re

said, “you end up on some kind of watch list for extremists.”
No. If you’re black, oppose the “progressive agenda” and you’re pro-life and pro-familystraw-man, then we call you a conservative anomaly. If you say the crazy shit you say, then people start calling you an extremist.

… what a load of asinine crap.
And if he thinks there are any old “uncles” out there who haven’t voted in the last 20 years who would actually support the garbage he spews, he clearly doesn’t know that anyone who would support their bs is already watching Fox News 24x7 and does indeed already vote.

The former neurosurgeon then turned to politics proper, asking, “How do we use the incredible brains God gave [us?] to recognize when things don’t work?”
Great Zeus on Olympus, I’ll tell you how. It’s called critical thinking. Try it some time, you might like it; and, if you can master that, you can move on to root cause analysis.
P.S. This guy may have been a skillful surgeon, but I’d be willing to bet he was a dismally piss-poor diagnostician.

“We need to talk to our uncle that hasn’t voted in 20 years,” Carson said.
He does realize that for this audience, that uncle has been in the ground for 20 years, right? Maybe explains why he says “uncle that hasn’t voted” instead of “uncle who hasn’t voted.”

What a pandering piece of non intellectual nonsense. The great doctor doesn’t equate with a great leader. There are a lot of institutions that should be gotten rid of, and the NRA and the KKK would be right up there on my list. Then all the phony PAC’s, think tanks, private clubs and of course, the so called “Tea Party” and fake patriots therein. Finally, Fox Noise and Hate Radio should go away. It would go a long way in bringing our country back together into one union and the goal of E Pluribus Unum that we were founded under.
Right Wing Wackos area dime a dozen. We need to get rid of Ben Carson

What A pandering asshole
I wonder just how skilled he really is/was. Is his record as a surgeon clear for all to see and read about other than the publicity he may have gotten by hiring a good firm to make him look good. I ask that in sincerity as I have only heard claims of how good he is.

Getting rid of the IRS must be some kind of dog whistle that I can’t hear. No matter how “fair” in his mind the tax system becomes, someone will have to collect taxes.

Uncle is not a word you need to be using, Ben. I won’t even go there, it’s just too damn easy.

It’s a klaxon call for people in financial trouble to send their rent check to his PAC.
