Dr. Carson: Obamacare The Worst Thing That Has Happened Since Slavery

Certainly he was unprepared, unqualified and of limited intellectual groundings but he was re-elected! Certainly the opposite of Obama is what's required.

And when people begin looking seriously at a candidate like Hillary Clinton then you know something is terribly, terribly wrong in American politics.

So replacing one unqualified person with another is a good thing?

Has their been demonstrated leadership? Some knowledge of the issues? Success in some field of endeavor? Some knowledge of administration, economics or business? Then I would say they deserve a look.

Of course that eliminates Hillary (and Obama of course) but there might be plenty of other Democrats who might be worthy. Can you think of any?
 
Alan Keyes is absolutely bat guano insane.

Absolutely. But have you listened to him speak? This guy can so suck you in with his cadence and charisma that you find yourself going "yeah, lets jail the gays and institute a state religion". Then he stops speaking and you come back to yourself.

I loved the scene with Alan Keyes in Borat.

I have never seen it actually. My favorite is during the 96 presidential election, Rage Against The Machine was playing somewhere he went, and he ended up crowd surfing. Next republican debate one of the candidates(Alexander maybe, or Buchannan) asked him to repudiate the bands terrorist message. Much to my surprise, he refused, talking about how he had been "lifted up" by the hands and hearts and courage of the young people in this country. With his delivery, it was a remarkable shocking moment, that needless to say was ignored by the press because, well, Alan Keyes.

Edit: I misremembered it a bit. It was 2000, and here is the story(yes, it is Michael Moore, but it is funny)(the Keyes part starts about 5:30 in):

Now I ****in like this guy. Thanks a lot.
 
But his own party, the GOP, is 100% against him. GOP pols, backed heavily by insurers, overwhelmingly favor the mandate.
You know what, its now beyond that, its time we, WE THE PEOPLE, tell them, the boob and anybody else who wants to get in the way, on my side or yours...get your skinny and fat butts outta the way... you can't shove this turkey down our throats, this overly foul fowl that the boob rolled out with its feathers still on...get outta our faces with this half baked idea.

Too too many of us out here DO NOT WANT IT. Better be listening, hope you are hearing that, the country is in the mood to throw ALL Y'ALL OUT.
 
race has nothing to do with it. it's just some people don't agree with dr. carsons assertion that obamacare is worse then slavery.
No way...

You are actually trying to pawn fresh cow manure off on me like that? Conservatives in general are rudely, crudely beat upon by your folks, but its hardly the hurting that y'all put upon Black Conservatives. Those guys are the super resilient, have to be, standing up to the lie...and finding more and more audiences because what they are saying is spot on... but even though most of the racists, the people who sell minorities short nearly all the time while making like they are your best friend forever, most of the racists are of the lib persuasion [ especially the trust fund types ], that feel extra guilty cause they do nothing and they are more than adequately taken care of...

In any event, race most certainly means something if the guy or girl is Black...and steps outta line enough to be proud to be a Conservative...your folks just cannot/will not have any of that...

So, credibility took a big shot in the shorts right there, fellow citizen.

And while some might also have a problem with Dr. Carson's perspective on what the Obamama[hey now, he aint my momma!] is saying is good for us, just take it...he did not assert "that obamacare is worse then [ should be than, than is for comparisons, then is equated with time ] slavery..the article directly quoted Dr. Carson as saying, “Obamacare is really, I think, the worst thing that has happened in this nation since slavery,” Carson declared. “It is slavery in a way because it is making all of us subservient to the government.

So, think some libs might need read a slight bit more closely, there being quite a difference from equating it, at this point, as being worse than slavery as opposed to the worst thing since slavery...

So get back to me when you fully, and correctly, assimilate...

I have read a lot of nationalist propaganda from all over the world. They have had various effects on me, such as laughing insanely, getting angry, or being simply amused.
Yours however, is EXCEPTIONAL in that it made me puke.
As for the good doctor, may my comment be that worse things have happened such as the Tea Party, the latest Hollywood, and US soccer (football or whatever)
Here's what I would say all concerned should do first...

Initially it might be best to become acquainted with the word patuey, maybe look it up if necessary... then feel free to associate it with a rat, for instance, as in a rat's patuey.

Next, Let me add that I have never been to South Korea, I have met several very decent folks from there, very respectful and so I, in turn, respect the country and its many accomplishments. Admire it for its hard work, innovation, many things...

I also have read an awful lot of history and watched a lot of documentary film on the War there. I would say with a screen name like yours, you would/probably should understand being proud. And of course you should also well understand me being very proud of my own, and no offense specifically intended, much much much more extraordinary country. You know, the one that saved y'alls [ most of who seem very grateful] behinds against those pesky evil cousins of yours to the North there, you know, the communist ones? I could care even less if you are tired of hearing about it.

Still, to this day, we have your back, have our brave guys stationed there ready to sacrifice, to defend your country...you know, my country, remember them guys, the Americans? You bet your butt you do.

So...
That is about the worst slam by someone from a country that has done, on balance, pretty much nothing but benefit from our involvement, including loss of much American blood and treasure, for your country. The best label for those type of views I think might just be: ingrate.

So, now to utilize that vocabulary prefaced earlier...so that the learning experience will be real, that you may imprint and learn the phrase, now in full context... I DO NOT GIVE A RAT'S PATUEY WHAT YOUR THOUGHTS ARE ABOUT MY COUNTRY OR ANYBODY FROM MY COUNTRY.

We straight there now, are we?

I remember that. It was some religious mousy guy that chastised him for the concert.
 
Thanks for making my point for me, that plantation comment is the proof.
Besides making a fool of himself, by stating Obamacare is worse than Obamacare, I don't detest the man. He should thank his lucky stars he walks today because of liberals who who fought for his civil rights.
Well, I, too, am glad you agree with the proof that the Democratic plantation has no plan for African Americans but to keep them voting for y'all, keep them subservient... but thank god for the internet and curious minds who are tired of hearing the rot MSM puts out in your behalf.

Now Obamadontcare is meant to do the same thing to all us peoples, not just African Americans, so I guess you could say its kinda nondiscriminatory in that way. Now we will all be subservient to the state if the boob and his minions get their way...sure has you folks fooled ...

Oh please, Black People fought hard for their own Civil Rights, for all of our Civil Rights, you Dems sure weren't the ones that did much of anything except come to the dance way way way late...after all the heavy lifting had already been done. Then you suckered many of their leaders- turned- sell-outs, cough--- JacksonSharpton---- to in turn back your Great Society abominations placed like a plague upon the community....

And let me have your sources on Dr. Carson stating, as you put it, "Obamacare is worse than Obamacare" ?????? He actually said that obamacare is worse than obamacare? Didn't say anything of the sort in the initially referenced article...
 
Kobe did fine eventually, but he didn't even start until his second or third season. The President of the United States doesn't have the luxury of coming in off the bench at first.

Obama was unprepared, and not well qualified. However, I don't think that the answer to that is to replace him with another ill-prepared and unqualified person. Voting for Obama in 2008 because he was the "opposite of Bush" was a mistake, and voting for Carson in '16 because he's the "opposite of Obama" would also be a mistake.
I think its a plausible point, so cannot find much to fault... Point is he could though, and while I do not at this point think it advisable, I would take him any day over the boob... Carson is a patriot and proud of it...

Obama, on the other-hand, rarely appears particularly proud to be from here.
 
Whatever does that mean???

It's not hard to follow. You chose the quote, attached it to your thoughts, your point. That makes it yours as well. You cannot divorce yourself from it. It's the same as if you said it all by yourself. If you don't understand this, you don't want to.
 
Why can't he be called racist? Obama is called racist all the time, and he is half white.

Does the slavery reference even earn an accusation of "playing the race card?"



Best things about Dr. Carson are that he is super articulate, he is absolutely fearless, he cannot be called a racist credibly and he is, in fact, an actual brain surgeon...so his intellectual abilities are beyond question.

While I think Obama is, indeed racist, I do not hear him being called that all the time... and just because you are white has no bearing on whether someone is a racist or not...

Show me some credible information, with trustworthy sources, wherein Dr. Carson has said something racist.

Slavery has been committed on all races by all races...so maybe the humanity card?
 
and how does being a doctor prepare one for being president of the united states? Does dr. carson have a law degree or any background in constitutional law.
I have been told he is a Constitutional Scholar, have no independent evidence however... but Obama was what, an adjunct prof of Con Law...little help it seems to have done for him...or, sadly, for us.

There's less evidence Obama's racist. Yet you believe he is. Odd that. :coffeepap

You mean evidence like having his Justice Department drop the slam dunk case against the New Black Panthers... or how he immediately jumped on the side of Professor Henry Lewis Gates against the white police officer doing his job and fully vindicated...hmmm...oh, it certainly could not be because Prof Gates was black was it...nah, just happenstance...probably...

Oh, then you have him getting involved in the Trayvon Martin Case, sticking his nose in, his two cents worth that just happened, somehow, to be on the side of the person that was...what race was Trayvon again, for those who may not remember....was he African American, too, was he? Why does the boob keep on sticking his nose where it doesn't belong and always end up supporting the one race over the others...

But that would not be in the least racist... or would it?

So, your case against Dr. Carson as a racist?

"The point I was making was not that Grandmother harbors any racial animosity. She doesn't. But she is a typical white person..." --

"It was usually an effective tactic, another one of those tricks I had learned: (White) People were satisfied so long as you were courteous and smiled and made no sudden moves. They were more than satisfied, they were relieved -- such a pleasant surprise to find a well-mannered young black man who didn't seem angry all the time."

"That's just how white folks will do you. It wasn't merely the cruelty involved; I was learning that black people could be mean and then some. It was a particular brand of arrogance, an obtuseness in otherwise sane people that brought forth our bitter laughter. It was as if whites didn't know that they were being cruel in the first place. Or at least thought you deserving of their scorn."

"It is this world, a world where cruise ships throw away more food in a day than most residents of Port-au-Prince see in a year, where white folks' greed runs a world in need, apartheid in one hemisphere, apathy in another hemisphere...That's the world! On which hope sits!"

"I can no more disown (Jeremiah Wright) than I can disown the black community. I can no more disown him than I can my white grandmother - a woman who helped raise me, a woman who sacrificed again and again for me, a woman who loves me as much as she loves anything in this world, but a woman who once confessed her fear of black men who passed by her on the street, and who on more than one occasion has uttered racial or ethnic stereotypes that made me cringe."

Or....maybe its that you are not terribly bright. Leftists always throw the 'racist' card around when lost and confused, which is always..
