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

I have pictures, I have hung awards in the past.

Everyone’s home is an expression of themselves - so I don’t believe your response.

Who is your candidate? You are obviously attacking Carson because you favor someone else. Do you have the integrity to declare your choice? Or are you going to hide behind your false piety?

Oh, my, a famous brain surgeon has pictures of himself with awards in his house - the horror of it all.

When I was in private practice, I had my diplomas/certificates on the wall and every award I had been given. When I retired, those came to my house - oh, the horror of it all.

Many people's...Teddy Roosevelt's, several of the Rockefellers' ( living ones ), Trump's ( in photos only ), and many other stellar, accomplished people.

Your claim that absolutely NONE of those running for president are as "accomplished" as Dr. Ben, which I replied is patently ridiculous and it is.

As if Carson’s somnambulent, drugged manner, and bizarre biographical embellishments weren’t disturbing enough, now the freak show named Glenn Beck is trumpeting him almost every hour on Facebook.

I agree! Ridiculous that anyone would fall for this tripe, even more ridiculous that freepers should.

Also ridiculous that everyone doesn’t recognize by now that liberals attack hardest those they fear most.

People who turn their homes into a museum of themselves are just wrong somewhere.

Kind of reminds me of the character Gloria Swanson played in Sunset Boulevard.

Who gains access to his home to do a photoshoot of the interior of whichever home and turns around and criticizes just about everything? The media never cease to amaze.

Somebody may have done the photos under false pretenses and sold them to the Guardian, or the Guardian commissioned them; they are quality photos, like a camera a news photographer would have.

lol - you are an idiot! You are claiming that those folks did not have pictures of themselves with famous and admired people, and no awards hung on the walls?

Reread what I actually said. It is not what you claim I said.

BTW - maybe you could cite some accomplishments of your candidate that rival Carson’s. Which other of the candidates can display a Medal of Honor?

No, the reason most people do not do that is because most people are not obsessed with themselves.

ROTFLMSO.....I really doubt that any DEM is "afraid" of the dear doctor.

And FYI...I don't give a damn about his displaying his "stuff"; my reply was to NOBODY being as "accomplished" as he. The decor is tacky, not well done, in the style of an unprintable old term, here on FR. Neither am I "impressed" by Melania's ideas re decor; so stick that in your pipe and smoke it.

You are sadly inexperienced, or simply a liar - people don’t display what they don’t have. I believe most here would display a
Medal of Honor if they had it.

The guy is literally one of the BEST surgeons in the WORLD!

WAS one of the best neurosurgeons with possibly the largest ego to suit (or to boot).

At this point I believe he is suffering from a mild dementia, possibly a degenerative form. I see memory deficits and even confabulation. In addition his typically flat affect and speech patterns are very unusual in a highly accomplished person.

Oh no, your reply was beautiful - especially in what it revealed about yourself!!!

Name one candidate as accomplished. Start with the Medal of Honor winners.....

If you look at the picture, Jesus isn’t black, he has the skin color of a Jew, which is not white.

The hand of Jesus is on Carson’s shoulder which says to me Carson is a believer and he believed God’s hand was on his shoulder as he operated on people’s brains. That is the kind of surgeon I would want to operate on me.
