Keep Ben Carson away from the White House

I’ve made it clear that I would not trust Ben Carson with the keys to the Oval Office, and I am now of the opinion I wouldn’t trust him with the keys to a Cabinet post, either. (See “Dr. Ben Carson for president: Not so fast,” Feb. 6, 2014.)

Carson is a without question one of the most gifted doctors in the history of medicine – but beyond that, he is either naïve, clueless, or he secretly supports an agenda or aspects thereof that have contributed to the racial divide in America. And as you will see, his disagreeable heterodoxy doesn’t end with a racial divide.

Carson, in a prepared comment pursuant to the recent passing of Julian Bond, the former chairman of the NAACP, said: “I am deeply saddened to learn about [the passing of] America civil rights leader Julian Bond. May we continue to honor him for his contributions to society.” (Aug. 16)

My question to Carson is: Just what contributions to American society did Julian Bond make? Does Carson suggest that hatred, racist diatribes, racist accusations, fomenting racial acrimony, messages of Leninist ideology that rivaled Du Bois, ad nauseum were in some way beneficial to America? I demand Carson enumerate just what Julian Bond did to improve America.

When someone is so centered on their job and all that goes with it, they tend to have a very limited world view.

I think you're on to something there. Obviously, Dr. Carson is a very smart guy, accomplished in his field and that is not a universally transferable kind of smart. I still gotta give him his props for his National Prayer Breakfast smackdown he laid on The One, though.

SNCC was an important part of the real civil rights moveent (the one in the 60’s) and Julian Bond was a major force in that movement. What he became later isn’t the issue... Carson’s right on this...

The most hard core right wingers I know were once liberals. They are like ex-smokers.
