But he is completely wrong as the freepers who posted those links pointed out. Once again Ben doesn’t bother to get his facts straight just goes on his opinion...This behavior speaks volumes about his character and his diligence.
From the link http://www.archives.gov/exhibits/charters/constitution_founding_fathers_overview.html:
The Founding Fathers: A Brief Overview
The 55 delegates who attended the Constitutional Convention were a distinguished body of men who represented a cross section of 18th-century American leadership. Almost all of them were well-educated men of means who were dominant in their communities and states, and many were also prominent in national affairs. Virtually every one had taken part in the Revolution; at least 29 had served in the Continental forces, most of them in positions of command.
Political Experience
The group, as a whole, had extensive political experience. At the time of the convention, four-fifths, or 41 individuals, were or had been members of the Continental Congress. Mifflin and Gorham had served as president of the body. ....Practically all of the 55 delegates had experience in colonial and state government. Dickinson, Franklin, Langdon, Livingston, Alexander Martin, Randolph, Read, and Rutledge had been governors, and the majority had held county and local offices.
That doesn’t make sense. He may be polite and may have great bedside manner but thoughtful, I don’t think so, when you examine his opinions and positions.
Barney Fife summed it up nicely...He’s a NUT!
Yup but I was being diplomatic.
I took the night off from that. :)
Not that it has anything to do with being POTUS, but, hey..,you know.
You can dislike his policy positions, but it is just silly to imply that he is not a very intelligent man. I am sure he did write it himself.

Louis Farrakhan as an associate of Carson who shares the same goals as Sharpton(by his own admission) out weighs any other thing about Carson to me. I would never vote for him.
Trump is very polite and classy, and extremely thoughtful.
But with those that step over the line, he lets them have it.
Carson has no fight in his belly. He’s not going to be effective which is what is needed today. He does not have the negotiating skills and experience that Trump has.
It’s much more than you allude to.
And I am sure you are wrong. Just like I don’t think Donald Trump wrote his policy papers by himself. Get a clue!
> “Carson is polite, thoughtful ...... Some of us want polite, thoughtful.”
Sure, just like Obama is ‘polite, thoughtful’ with world leaders that steamroll him.
There are a million+ ‘polite, thoughtful’ people out there that could satisfy those that want ‘polite, thoughtful’ elected to the White House.
There is only one Trump.
Right. But what he said here and the positions he has taken, especially regarding “entitlements” and legalizing unentitled aliens, are sure to satisfy the revived uncritical plantation mentality who will be glad to adopt him for the next cultural leap into obscurity.
I’m past being diplomatic. The guy is a fraud and he’s giving Christians a bad name. He spends all his time going on and on about how Christian he is, then he just can’t stop lying.
He flat out denied on national television that he didn’t have anything to do with that Uncle Ben’s Liniment Tonic company, like we don’t all have the internet to just look up the commercials and watch them. Then he tells all these wild fabrications about these supposed violent encounters that not a single person or witness can corroborate, and none of his friends can even believe (with reason, I mean look at the guy).
He’s an eccentric con man. Any other candidate in the GOP field is preferable to Carson.
Excuse me for misreading your comment.
I realize that the candidates get help from their respective staffs, but I thought that you were implying that he is not smart.
I would never suggest that Dr. Carson isn’t smart. He didn’t achieve what he did in neurosurgeon by being a dummy. However, he bores me because he talks so slow, and seems to have some strange ideas on things.
““You are absolutely right — I have no political experience,†he bluntly acknowledged. “The current Members of Congress have a combined 8,700 years of political experience. Are we sure political experience is what we need?—
Love this.
It doesn’t matter if he wrote it himself. If he believes it, that’s what matters.
A reasonable question might be, “What have you run?”
Based on his business dealings, his management ability is in question. And if he thinks the pyramids were built to store grain, his logic and ability to understand the real world are suspect as well!
