Carson is a smart man for the right topics which is why it's upsetting he's running for President and saying stupid, awful stuff. He could've stayed at home, been content with being a famous neurosurgeon with an inspiring backstory. Now he's the neurosurgeon that really hates Muslims with a voice of pure Ambien.

Carson not sounding like Dr. Sleepy Baby one time doesn't make him qualified for the White House, just like being an amazing neurosurgeon in no way qualifies him for the White House. He is less qualified than any of the hacks who gained brief primacy in 2012 over Mitt Romney, and that is a ridiculously low bar to clear. Your guy sucks. Please take your meds and deal with it.

A Carson-Clinton debate would be a bloodbath of epic proportions and it would probably break Carson on a deep psychological level getting so thoroughly trounced. Hillary is no Diamond Joe, but she's a hell of a lot closer to that than Carson is to Palin or Ryan.

See what I did there? Also, Breitbart? Really?

Generalising about Muslims aside, you do realise that having values at odds with the constitution isn't in and of itself a bad thing? Nor was it considered as such by the Thomas Jefferson posted:Some men look at constitutions with sanctimonious reverence and deem them like the ark of the covenant, too sacred to be touched. They ascribe to the men of the preceding age a wisdom more than human and suppose what they did to be beyond amendment. I knew that age well; I belonged to it and labored with it. It deserved well of its country. It was very like the present but without the experience of the present; and forty years of experience in government is worth a century of book-reading; and this they would say themselves were they to rise from the dead. e: ah gently caress, didn't realise that smoothrich has an av now Bryter fucked around with this message at 04:58 on Nov 3, 2015 |

I do have to say, a lot of the knee-jerk things to be said about Carson's chances sound a lot like what people were saying about Trump, while Carson's been hanging out around second (and now around first) for quite some time. He might not be any more susceptible to the boom-bust cycle of the 2012 not-Romneys than Trump was, at least not for a while. The real difference is Carson just doesn't come off as someone who can ride a wave or control a narrative - his poll numbers seem more the result of the evangelicals and not-Trump outsiders choosing him, rather than something he's created. He doesn't quite come off as wanting to win. The book tour explanation is quite plausible, or if he makes a really strong showing maybe as VP for some of the non-establishment types. People sat around waiting for Trump to burst and it was a spanner in a lot of strategies when he didn't but there's something about Carson that seems to encourage the same kind of thinking, even in Trump himself. He seems unserious in any way that term can still have meaning. It's probably useful for Trump if Carson sticks around, even if he has to worry about losing his lead. The two of them are locking up half the GOP electorate which is keeping the rest of the vote split a dozen ways while candidates wait to see if they'll self-destruct and which way their supporters would break. The strength of their combined candidacies promotes the narrative that this is an outsider election and rejects the power of the establishment, all good for their side. Trump and Carson trying to take votes off each other would be as unproductive as it's been for Jeb trying to claw back relevance from Rubio.

memy posted:The sunglasses in They Live are meant to symbolize LSD John Carpenter on They Live posted:"I began watching TV again. I quickly realized that everything we see is designed to sell us something... It's all about wanting us to buy something. The only thing they want to do is take our money." To this end, Carpenter thought of sunglasses as being the tool to seeing the truth, which "is seen in black and white. It's as if the aliens have colorized us. That means, of course, that Ted Turner is really a monster from outer space." (Turner had received some bad press in the 1980s for colorizing classic black-and-white movies.) The director commented on the alien threat in an interview: "They want to own all our businesses. A Universal executive asked me, 'Where's the threat in that? We all sell out every day.' I ended up using that line in the film." The aliens were deliberately made to look like ghouls, according to Carpenter, who said, "The creatures are corrupting us, so they, themselves, are corruptions of human beings." Sounds a lot like the liberal/corporate media being in the tank for Hillary/Democrats to me. Time Warner (Ted Turner/CNN) Universal (Comcast/NBC) etc are all Hillary shills, which is why all the late night talk show hosts that are owned by the same half dozen companies bash Republicans and praise Hillary nonstop. Stephen Colbert, Jon Stewart, John Oliver, they are all ghouls once you "Wake Up." "PUT ON THE GLASSES" is Carson's message basically, the propaganda is everywhere keeping America divided and hyper-partisan. http://www.nationalreview.com/article/375116/how-comcast-bought-democratic-party-matthew-continetti for some Facts about Comcast lobbyism "The ugly forces of hate and division they won't let up, but they do not represent the American people.. they represent a small fraction of the political elite" - Joe Biden, describing the liberal media and Wall Street's backing of Hillary Clinton and hijacking of the Democrats that made him give up on his Presidential ambitions. Every channel, newspaper, and website owned and operated by a handful of NYC media conglomerates just blast left-wing hate speech now about racism, islamophobia etc to work up the liberals into a frothing rage for easy votes. Want reform? Carson 2016, the only one not corrupt as poo poo.

I said a few days ago that the narrative is shifting from "Trump dominates" to "Trump/Carson horserace," but that narrative might actually benefit Trump because it leaves less room for Cruz and Rubio. Carson snatching the lead away from Trump might be humiliating for Donald, but it'll force him to get his game face on and put a fire under his rear end, and that is pure upside. We'll start getting Trump ads and serious campaigning out of him. The competition will help force him into shape.

It was founded by a coalition united against "Slave Power" that the Democrats were wielding to cause Congressional gridlock to protect the wealthy elite class, slave owning Democrats in the South and media/finance Democrats in NYC. The Dems incited NYC draft riots with "Irish/Italian Privilege" propaganda to undermine the Republicans during the Civil War, just like they do today. I guess Abraham Lincoln, the first Republican president, forced his values on the South by the mechanism of government too when you put it that way.
