If, GOD forbid, Carson is the nominee, Hillary will eat him alive in the first minute and 1/2! Dr. Ben may be a "hero" to your crowd and a bunch of stupid children, as well, so be it; however, he isn't fit to be president or even Sec. of health; or whatever! You may imagine that you "love education", but you are uneducated about Carson, what it takes to be a good president, and what type of person we need NOW to be president.

Homeschoolers generally come from families where both parents have been to college, score hoghly on tests, and they are hardly stupid.

Ben Carson is a hero because he rose from nothing, and went on to, you know, save lives by taking children's brains apart.

Fine -- attack him on policy, but these personal attacks are vile.

Would Reagan have talked trash? Donald Trump is a reality TV salesman who talks trash.

You may have gone to college, but you aren't "well educated".

Did Reagan say "mean things"? YOU BET HE DID! How old were you when he first ran for president against Ford ?

Christian Barnard was also a miraculous surgeon and quite religious, but that didn't qualify him, nor did he run for the presidency of South Africa!

I do agree that Carson's rise has been heroic, and he is a role model. But his demonstrated intellectualism, Seventh-Day Adventistism and hand-eye skills don't make him the man we need to take on the thugs inhabiting the world stage right now, who are deterimined to kill your children BECAUSE they are American Christians. Don't send your lambs to the slaughter by thinking the whole armor of God would not permit actual warfare with the weapons at hand, including a hard-nosed negotiator with rude manners. He, too, is a child of God and a tool of the Holy Spirit. It's not for you to judge his heart.
