Not a Carson fan but this contrived crap is beneath this site.
If you don’t get Carson’s very easy to understand point below, then perhaps you don’t have the lobes he was referring to.
This all makes sense to me (and anyone not intentionally trying to libel a good man):
CARSON: Well, you know, as I’ve said all along, you know, bringing people into this country from that area of the world I think is a huge mistake. Because why wouldn’t they infiltrate them with people who are ideologically opposed to us? It would be foolish for them not to do that. So, we need to be very compassionate to understand that these people have been displaced and we should use our expertise and resources to help get them resettle over there, and to support them over there, but to bring them here under these circumstances is a suspension of intellect.
You know, the reason that the human brain has these big frontal lobes as opposed to other animals, because we can engage in rational thought processing, we can, you know, extract information from the past, the present, process it and project it into a plan. Animals, on the other hand, have big brain stems and rudimentary things, because they react. We don’t have to just react, we can think.
It was the part about shooting down Russian planes in airspace they have permission to fly in that I found scary.
Carson’s trying to pad his lack of foreign policy creds by blathering about brains was unimpressive to say the least.
