Ben Carson's house: a homage to himself – in pictures
The Guardian ^

Posted on 11/07/2015 10:12:43 PM PST by TigerClaws

The decor at Ben Carson’s home in Maryland shows that Donald Trump may not have the biggest ego among the Republican candidates. On display are awards, certificates, medals, and a painting of himself with Jesus

Okay...I'll say it: TRAILER PARK TRASH" ! Happy now? I find that term offensive, so that's why I didn't use it. And I was thinking about the garish TRAVELERS kind of TPT.

I have NO idea what term you have in mind, but you're no mind reader!

I never claimed to have been in any of the present candidates' homes, but DID calmly state that I have seen picture's of Trump's current Manhattan digs. So have many other people! I also stated, quite cl.early, that I am NOT enamored of Melania Trump's *cough* decorating style.

My objection to Carson is that he isn't qualified to be president. He may be a great surgeon; however, he is ill equipped to be president, doesn't know factual ancient history, economics, how government works, claims to have the same goals as Al Sharpton, and on and on and on. My adverse opinion of his run is endless and based on his own words, gaffes, and the shadow figures behind him.

LOLOL - elitist much??? Very poor form, that.

No, you obviously LOVE dropping names. It makes you feel superior. And to help you do that, you make a gross assumptions about those I do or do not know.

Your eagerness to try to impress, speaks volumes. If you really had the accomplished friends you would have us believe you do, you wouldn’t have over reached about being in Teddy’s home.

You are still lagging far behind. You are so far behind that you don’t even know your racist, elitist butt has been severely thrashed.

The picture with the black Jesus just goes over the edge to me

Maybe we should be surprised he doesn't in his biography talk about meeting with Jesus and having a portrait of the meeting.

LOL - your objections to him are a great recommendation, IMO.

Hey there snookums - who is more accomplished? I’ve been waiting.......

You continue to validate my original assessment of you.

Exposure to prions might have aggravated his squamous non small cell pseudo bulbar affect mesothelioma and released pieces of his blood clot filter into his brain resulting in bedsores, broken bones and other signs of neglect or abuse.

This caused him to miss his smoking cessation support group and rely solely on Chantix which can in some cases cause mood swings, thoughts of suicide and new or worsening heart failure.

But if you take pictures of the accident, the Texas Law Hawk can get you three times the average settlement, which you can have whether or not you win your case, thanks to Oasis.

OH! You have been in the homes of “some” Purple Heart medalists and read about “some” others? But you stated with authority that MOST do not display them.

And you dare call any statement of mine ridiculous???

Oh for crying out loud.,..Teddy's summer home is a MUSEUM !

OTOH...his childhood home is only a block and a little from where I once lived; didums.

You're the one making vast pronunciamentos about people doing the same as Carson with their things/portraits of themselves/etc. and you have less than NO idea about what you're talking about.

Go ahead, sweetums, drop ALL of the names of the famous, well accomplished people, whom YOU know and in whose homes you have often been in.

I am not a mind reader and have NO idea what was alluded to. How what I said, out of politeness, somehow got transposed into me being a “racist”, I find difficult to comprehend.

Your home is a homage to you and your family. It is the nature of who and how we are.

Your very choice of drapes and sofa says something about you....and you intended it to when you chose them.

You’d look much better with your nose down out of the air, just a tad.

Oh just stuff it!

Your alternating banal and supercilious post are inept by every measure.

This all appears to be a misunderstanding. This is not a portrait of Carson & Jesus. It appears to be an oil painting depicting Carson backstage at a Siegfried and Roy show.
