So tell me about Ben Carson...

Really? When did Clinton throw the US military into a conflict for which it was unprepared and then claim victory while American boys were still dying so that they could claim victory (and then leave us there in active conflict for another 4 or 5 years)?

Too true.
If you have a problem with Vietnam war, protest and use your deferments. But being pro-war and then using deferments or weaseling out thru going into Nat’l Guard is another thing entirely.

Sooo…

Tell me about this Carson guy.

(thread shortened for snark value)

Nana-nana-nana-nana batshit! Batshit!

I liked him better than Leno, but this Fallon kid is growing on me.

(looking at the thread title)

Who the hell is Ben Carson? Which is a question you’ll hear now and then for the next few months, then never to be asked again until some Trivia Tuesday.

Actual quoted answer from Carson to WND’s question:

“We the people would oppose it through our Constitution, the 22nd Amendment of which forbids more than two terms. Even some of the timid people in the other two branches of government would be willing to stand behind the fortified walls of our Constitution.”

Gee, it sounds like he thinks it’s reasonable to believe Obama actually might stage this horrifying assault on the “fortified walls of our Constitution”. Or else (and more likely) Carson is too timid to risk offending the nutbars who are worried about such nonsense (and who he sees as an essential part of his “base”).

Either way, bleah.

He was Hoss and Little Joe’s dad.

And the Republicans have been so timid during the Obama administration, just letting him do whatever he wants, but something like this could get them fired up.

I would, on account of the fact that there aren’t going to be any more GOP administrations.

I’d be okay with a Democratic president appointing him to Surgeon General, though. He seems like he’d do an okay job.

There were rumors back in the day that both Clinton and Dubya would seize power when their second terms were drawing to a close. Some people will believe anything.

Come on. Democrats enjoy an edge in the Electoral College math right now, but no party has an eternal lock on the White House.

My favorite story about how Obama will do it is that he’ll use his evil Muslim powers to build up the economy so strongly that he’ll have the popular support of a dictator, use that popularity to force an amendment through eliminating term limits, get re-elected, and then use his extra time in office to destroy the country. :wink:

Ben Carson solves the Palestinian problem:

I can’t even. I literally just. Cannot. Even.

So, adaher, still liking Ben Carson?

BrainGlutton, you posted this exact same thing in three different threads. Please refrain from the cut and paste style of posting in the future. If you have something to add, at least try to be creative about it.

Oh man, now we have to be creative?? I can’t handle this kind of pressure.

Well, it’s only for certain values of creative. Typing anything original is a good start.

Cripes, now we have to evaluate our our degrees creativity.

Hey, I noticed my spell checker didn’t cough up any complaints about ‘cripes’!

:dubious: Of course I did. It fit perfectly in all three. That, sir, is creativity.

Nah. That, sir, is annoying. Carson’s idiocy has little to do with the Israeli Knesset elections and their aftermath other than it is something someone said about Israel. You might as well reanimate every old Israel thread and add it to the end of them too.
