If you go back to how this country was supposed to be he is more than qualified to be President. He is 1000 times more qualified than those of the political class that have put us in the present crisis. The political class put the country in this disastrous position what makes you think they have any desire to get us out of this situation??? They live off of this condition. They get rich from it! Why would they change it?!?

[Ravenstar]

No drip drip drip. It may say something in the book which I haven’t read yet but I have watched the movie several times and there is nothing about Mandela in the movie.

[X-spurt]

My bad, it was the documentaries. Never watched the movie.

Great points .. all of them.



Dr. Ben Carson ... QUIT PLAYING EGO GAMES ... and ACT like you're "Presidential Material".

Under "normal" circumstances with "decent" people and a "moral news media" Congress and the Senate would be filled with 535 "Dr. Ben Carson" types, you included.

That would be a good thing.

But that's not reality.



Dr. Ben Carson (once he accomplished his first surgeries) has been "coddled" ... for both his accomplishments and because he's black ... sorry, that's the TRUTH ...

so Dr. Ben Carson has been wandering around saying whatever he wants, whatever comes into his mind, "whatever" ...

and that is NOT how a 2016 U.S. Presidential Campaign is successfully operated.

Period.



This whole "Mannatech, Westpoint and Pyramids" sequence should be a DAMNED wake-up call for what I suspect is an arrogant (I'm the smartest guy in the room) Dr. Ben Carson.

Being U.S. President is NOT about a person's ego ...

Rather, it's like being a U.S. Marine Sniper at Falujia ... where EVERY shot MUST be a "kill" ...

or your buddies DIE.


Dr. Ben Carson ... QUIT PLAYING EGO GAMES ... and ACT like you're "Presidential Material".

Sounds like my father in law. He was with a civil engineering group that rebuilt roads and bridges. Always a few miles behind the front lines. The few times they saw Germans in the “wild”, everyone just looked at them like they were crazy.
HisWWII experience was that of a four year summer camp. The sleeping quarters sucked, but the activities were fun.
Not so much with his brothers.

Your father-in-law was really in the THICK of it too, I think, as all knew how important the roads were for bringing in the tanks and artillery.
His brothers just did their duty as Americans, as so many men did. God bless them all.

Yeah Patton was hero. Too bad this zero is co-opt Patton's name to his daily infantile smear attacks.
This is the the kind of "supporter" Campaign would pay to join the other side. Mindlessly insulting everyone who does not worship "his guy" is going to drive away, not attract, voters.

You are 100% correct, MNJohnnie.
Well put.

Yes.

Even his brothers (who were in the Infantry in Europe and the Pacific) would give him a hard time about what fun he had in the war. They were always wet and moved from one s-hole to the next.

Not so much him...he said he rarely slept on the ground and always had a good air raid shelter dug nearby. I guess when you are running the bulldozers you don’t need to “dig ditches.”

Well, my dad was older and a foreigner and didn't have to serve. But he loved his adopted country so much that he volunteered. Unfortunately he got malaria while in North Africa. It didn't kill him because he was an extremely healthy and fit man in his early 30's.
But, as malaria will do, it damaged his heart and he died too young from heart trouble, brought on by his long-past malaria.
I STILL miss him.
