OT: Politics & News... Have at it.

Ben Carson is the living proof that you can be a neurosurgeon and be dumb as a box of rocks.

I don't know about that. Carson is an acclaimed neurosurgeon, not just a neurosurgeon. Again, his problem seems to be inability to articulate his inteligence in short sound bites.

Or maybe he is just dumb when it comes to politics and regular people
 
Agree totally. I know he is a brain surgeon but some of the things he says are mind boggling... scary too.

Wasn't he the guy who also stated people who went into prison straight but came out gay proves they have a choice in their homosexuality?
Well they had a choice to be a top or bottom!

No, he's a far right wingnut. He thinks the earth is 6000 years old. He thinks that blacks had a good thing going when they were slaves. He's a friggin' idiot who happens to be a good neurosurgeon.

someone should ask him if slavery was so good whether he would be willing to walk in chains for 3-4 weeks in Africa, then do the middle passage on a sailing ship, then pick cotton or sugarcane for years.

that being said, apparently he didn't say what it is claimed he said about slavery

are you joking? He was being interviewed. And compared the USA with Nazi Germany. Don't need a PHD or be terribly articulate to understand that is BS.
 
Don't worry, Krust is just trying to ensure he is not called out for being racist. If Carson were not black, he would rip him a new one.

Could also be, he has "chosen" said 2-3 areas to make him "appealing/acceptable to the tea party base" - cold calculated move to be part of the conversation to win nomination....





Remember need to make it through the primary nut jobs, before general election - that usually involves making unbelievable statements/stances....

And this is what's wrong with the leadership of the GOP, the so-called "adults". Instead of constantly pandering to these tobacco-chewing, bib overall wearing, anti-intellectual, gun totin' hillbillies they need to articulate something that will resonate with Americans who are intelligent enough to know how to eat with a knife and fork. They need to engage in actual ideas instead of just trying to attract useful idiots to their party.

I disagree, there is a different between having a hard time to articulate a thought and being an idiot. This guy is crazy.

#BREAKING Canada withdrawing fighter jets from Iraq, Syria, Trudeau tells Obama

Good... before Russia "accidentially" shoots one down.

My understanding was they weren't going out every day anyhow so they are probably getting plugged up with that deadly Middle East sand and will likely end up at the Edmonton Mall with our working subs.

I wasn't really following the Canadian election campaign much as I prefer the American saga version but was the fighter jets issue even a top 10 concern for anyone? Has Justin told the Pentagon he is also walking away from the F-35 deal also?

Isn't Harper still the PM though and have control over Canada or is Trudeau just giving Obama a heads up?
 
As Bill Maher is fond of saying, this is a problem that is taking care of itself. No need for the US to intervene. Let the Iranians, Russians, ISIS kille each other. The main reason why people in the mid-east hate America is because they're there, taking up space on their soil. Would Americans not get bent out of shape if 20000 Islamic troops were operating on US soil?
