those two cohorts are pretty much right the fuk on the mark in my honest opinion...

I am in FACT a LIBERAL MINDED person that is 100% sick and fuking tired of the Repulican and Tea Party IDIOTS...

Carson was born in Detroit, Michigan, the son of Sonya (née Copeland) and Robert Solomon Carson, a Seventh-day Adventist minister.[3] Both his parents came from rural Georgia.[3] A DNA test on the television series African American Lives showed that his ancestry is 20% European and 80% African, including ancestors within the Makua people.[4] His parents divorced when he was eight, and he and his ten-year-old brother Curtis were raised by their mother.[5]

In his book Gifted Hands, Carson relates that in his youth, he had a violent temper. Once, while in the ninth grade, he nearly stabbed a friend during a fight over a radio station.[6] After this incident, he began reading the Book of Proverbs, applying verses on anger and thereafter "never had another problem with temper".[7][8][9]

Carson attended Southwestern High School in Southwest Detroit where he excelled in JROTC, which is a program sponsored by the United States Armed Forces. He quickly rose in rank and was offered an appointment to West Point.[10]

Carson graduated from Yale University, where he majored in psychology.[11] He received his M.D. from the University of Michigan Medical School.[12][13] He completed his residency in neurosurgery at Johns Hopkins Hospital in Baltimore.

Carson was a professor of neurosurgery, oncology, plastic surgery, and pediatrics, and he was the director of pediatric neurosurgery at Johns Hopkins Hospital.[15] At 33, he became the youngest major division director in the hospital's history as director of pediatric neurosurgery. He was also a co-director of the Johns Hopkins Craniofacial Center.
Carson specialized in traumatic brain injuries, brain and spinal cord tumors, achondroplasia, neurological and congenital disorders, craniosynostosis, epilepsy, and trigeminal neuralgia.[15]

Carson believes his hand–eye coordination and three-dimensional reasoning made him a gifted surgeon.[16] After medical school, he became a neurosurgery resident at Johns Hopkins Hospital. He began his career as a neurosurgeon, but also developed an interest in pediatrics.[16]
In 1987, Carson successfully separated conjoined twins, the Binder twins, who had been joined at the back of the head (craniopagus twins). The 70-member surgical team, led by Carson, worked for 22 hours. Both twins survived.[17][18][19]

Carson figured in the revival of the hemispherectomy, a drastic surgical procedure in which part or all of one hemisphere of the brain is removed to control severe pediatric epilepsy. He refined the procedure in the 1980s, encouraged by John M. Freeman,[20] and performed it many times.[21]
[22]
Carson has served on the boards of the Kellogg Company, Costco, and the Academy of Achievement.[23] He is an emeritus fellow of the Yale Corporation.[23][24][25]

In March 2013, Carson announced he would retire as a surgeon, stating "I'd much rather quit when I'm at the top of my game".[26] His retirement became official on July 1, 2013.[27]

Awards and honors
Carson is a member of the American Academy of Achievement,[28] Alpha Omega Alpha Honor Medical Society[29] and the Horatio Alger Association of Distinguished Americans.[30] Carson has been awarded 38 honorary doctorate degrees and dozens of national merit citations.[31] Detroit Public Schools opened the Dr. Benjamin Carson High School of Science and Medicine[32] for students interested in pursuing healthcare careers. The school is partnering with Detroit Receiving Hospital and Michigan State University.[33]
In 2000, he received the Award for Greatest Public Service Benefiting the Disadvantaged, an award given out annually by Jefferson Awards.[34]
In 2001, he was elected by the Library of Congress on the occasion of its 200th anniversary to be one of the 89 who earned the designation Library of Congress Living Legend.[35]
In 2004, he was appointed to serve on The President's Council on Bioethics.[36]
In 2005, Dr. Carson was awarded the William E. Simon Prize for Philanthropic Leadership.[37]
In 2006, he received the Spingarn Medal from the NAACP, their highest honor for outstanding achievement.[38]
In 2008, the White House awarded Carson the Presidential Medal of Freedom, the nation's highest civilian honor.[39]
In 2008, Ford’s Theatre Society awarded Carson the Ford's Theatre Lincoln Medal, for exemplifying the qualities embodied by President Abraham Lincoln—including courage, integrity, tolerance, equality, and creative expression—through superior achievements.[40][41]
In 2008, U.S. News & World Report named Dr. Carson as one of "America's Best Leaders".[42]
In 2010, he was elected into the National Academy of Sciences Institute of Medicine, considered one of the highest honors in the fields of health and medicine.[43]
In 2012, Carson was the Influential Marylander Award recipient from The Daily Record, Baltimore's legal and business newspaper.[44]
In 2014, an American poll conducted by Gallup ranked Carson sixth on a list of the most admired men in the world.

"Just reiterates the complete biased idiocy in your posts and "opinion", LOcker."...



FACT!!!...

It took you longer than everyone else here on Super Topo...

to figure that out..

1) On wheth­er be­ing gay is a choice: “Be­cause a lot of people who go in­to pris­on go in­to pris­on straight””and when they come out, they’re gay. So, did something hap­pen while they were in there? Ask your­self that ques­tion.”

2) On polit­ic­al cor­rect­ness: “I mean, [our so­ci­ety is] very much like Nazi Ger­many. And I know you’re not sup­posed to say ‘Nazi Ger­many,’ but I don’t care about polit­ic­al cor­rect­ness. You know, you had a gov­ern­ment us­ing its tools to in­tim­id­ate the pop­u­la­tion. We now live in a so­ci­ety where people are afraid to say what they ac­tu­ally be­lieve.”

3) On the IRS: “You know, we live in a Gestapo age, people don’t real­ize it.”

4) On Ad­vanced Place­ment his­tory class: “I think most people, when they fin­ish that course, they’d be ready to go sign up for IS­IS.”

5) On vet­er­ans dy­ing wait­ing for med­ic­al care from the De­part­ment of Vet­er­ans Af­fairs: “I think what’s hap­pen­ing with the vet­er­ans is a gift from God to show us what hap­pens when you take lay­ers and lay­ers of bur­eau­cracy and place them between the pa­tients and the health care pro­vider. And if we can’t get it right, with the re­l­at­ively small num­ber of vet­er­ans, how in the world are you go­ing to do it with the en­tire pop­u­la­tion?”

6) On Obama­care: “You know, Obama­care is really, I think, the worst thing that has happened in this na­tion since slavery. And it is, in a way””it is slavery in a way be­cause it is mak­ing all of us sub­ser­vi­ent to the gov­ern­ment.”

7) On Obama’s ap­pear­ance: When a col­league said the pres­id­ent “looks clean. Shirt’s white. The tie. He looks el­eg­ant,” Car­son re­spon­ded: “Like most psy­cho­paths. That’s why they’re suc­cess­ful. That’s the way they look. They all look great.” He later said: “But he knows he’s telling a lie! He’s try­ing to sell what he thinks is not true! He’s sit­ting there say­ing, ‘These Amer­ic­ans are so stu­pid I can tell them any­thing.’”

8) On sim­il­ar­it­ies between the Found­ing Fath­ers, who were “will­ing to die for what they be­lieved,” and IS­IS: “They’ve [IS­IS] got the wrong philo­sophy, but they’re will­ing to die for what they be­lieve, while we’re busily giv­ing away every value and every be­lief for the sake of polit­ic­al cor­rect­ness.”

9) On the im­port­ance of the GOP win­ning the Sen­ate in 2014: In Au­gust, Car­son said he couldn’t be sure “there will even be an elec­tion in 2016” if Re­pub­lic­ans didn’t go on to win that fall. (His wife also said they were keep­ing their son’s Aus­trali­an pass­port handy if the elec­tion didn’t go their way.)

As you have absolutely ZERO experience in ever being is such a situ.

I have to give you this one...

+1 for The Chief...

"Thanks for verifying that you are in fact a total politard buffoon."...






You pick who you believe would be best for us here...

I want Biden...

Of everyone out there...

I think he could get some sh1t done...

if a buddy with PTSD was having a bad day, didn't 'comply' to the satisfaction of the cop who's never seen combat, outside of walmart on back Friday, and gets killed, this wouldn't bother you?
