By the way, did you join so you can participate in discussions or only so you can keep posting articles critical of Carson?
Narcotics abuser?
I remember there were people in Obama’s book that never existed and it was explained that they were fictitious characters that represented several people in one. Everyone was happy with that explanation.
Who said that about him? Link?
Are you Humblegunning?
Now in verb form!
Classic.
(And I don't even agree with you lol.)
When I was in college I used to dream in math formulas and sometimes I solved them. Your brain doesn’t stop trying to solve problems just because you are sleeping.
And these are the people not just telling us who should run the country, but are also the same people actually doing it.
Talk about idiocracy.
But the front running Republican candidates include medical doctors and corporate CEO's, people that the scribblers and lawyuhs never run into...because they couldn't do the work.
The fact that they don't understand the experience that these people have had is merely indicative of their own lack of achievement.
People who don’t know God will tend to mock anyone who acknowledges God.
They don’t have a clue.
I’m not a Carson supporter but this stuff doesn’t hurt him, it actually helps him. Any conservative that piles on to the stupider media hit jobs is simply beclowning himself.
There is plenty to criticize Carson for, from a conservative viewpoint. These media hits tend to miss the point. You begin to notice that the kind of people hired to write this stuff are not the brighter bulbs. But thats not new, we’ve always known that.
My question is why the good doctor got such good grades if he had such poor study habits. Everything is so strange.
It’s best to not take the Inquisition here too seriously.

Well my research on this thread is revealing that it is not uncommon to sleep study.
It happened to me the day before a physics final. Could just see the solution, got up and wrote it down, went back to sleep.
Patton commanded his chaplain to pray for good weather so he could go to the assistance of the 101st Airborne at Bastogne, encircled by German troops.
MacAuliffe’s 101st denies to this day needing any help, Divine or otherwise.
“But now we are on the subject—why are there official chaplains in the armed forces at all? Is not their very presence, paid for out of the public treasury, an affront to the establishment clause of the all-important First Amendment? The author of that amendment, James Madison, certainly thought so. His “Detached Memoranda,” which also opposed the use of chaplains to open the proceedings of Congress, were very clear about clerics in the armed forces:
Better also to disarm in the same way, the precedent of Chaplainships for the army and navy, than erect them into a political authority in matters of religion. … Look thro’ the armies & navies of the world, and say whether in the appointment of their ministers of religion, the spiritual interest of their flocks or the temporal interest of the Shepherds, be most in view.
Madison also thought that such appointments would lead to majority tyranny, as indeed they mostly have. He could not believe that even a Catholic chaplain could ever hope for preferment in the U.S. armed forces. But it may not be long now before we hear demands that Muslim chaplains be allowed to conduct separate (and perhaps sexually segregated) ceremonies in the ranks, and what I want to know is: What will our Christian, godly campaigners say then? Defense of the Constitution and of Madisonian principles, if invoked at that too-late point, will be portrayed by Muslims as discrimination. The evangelicals have already prepared the way for such a stupid outcome, with all the litigation and time-wasting in Congress that it will require. Their activity is a clear and present danger to the national defense, and ought to be regarded and treated as such.”
Christopher Hitchens (1949-2011)
Are you prepared to use special pleading, as so many `finger pointers’ have been doing here lately, e.g. “Democrats and their lunacy—give `em both barrels! Carson’s unusual behavior? That’s off-limits, lefty troll!”
If local zoning authorities are going to continue to allow your local Methodist church to toll its bells by speakers located in the steeple, before long we’re going to have muslims demanding, pursuant to the Equal Protection clause of the 14th amendment, the right to broadcast five times a day their `call to prayer’—what Obama called “One of the prettiest sounds on Earth.”
What do you think about that LauraJean? Are you ready to listen to that heathen BS, and not just this morning but every day?
I’ll wait right here.
What he meant as satire portrays perfectly the God of Love who counts the hair on each believer's head and answers the prayer of a child with a dream.
The chemical structure of benzene was revealed to Kekule in a dream.
You.
Just a question.
Hell, you make the baldfaced claim he cheated and paid for the answers. No proof, just up and ignorantly toss the charge out there.
I am asking if your ignorance is the result of brain damage from drugs or some other induced medical condition or birth defect.
You are as bad as the WashPo hack, mocking a man's deep faith and disregarding the possibility that God intervenes in His creation's lives.
Faith is mocked and attacked every day by many in media, politically, in entertainment, in schools and even within the armed forces.
It has no place of FreeRepublic. No place, whatsoever.
Had advanced courses in chem and math with a kid in high school. He kept a pad and pencil next to his bed to write down answers to problems which during his wakening hours he could not solve. This was over 40 years ago and he didn’t tell me, his and my math teacher did. It was always a competition between he and I for top scores in these classes. He didn’t say that God gave him the answers. He has done well in life and business.
Have proof Carson cheated? Present it. If not, they may have a job at the WashPo for you. In research.
I did not make that claim, Thumper. But I did offer a humorous comment that illustrated the absurdity of the original story.
Narcotics? No.
Re: faith. I make fun of people who use it for their own devices. Because of faith I am supposed to believe this silly story. Because of faith I am not supposed to criticize Carson, who has some very bad positions (regardless of his faith). Because of faith I am accused of being a narcotics addict by you.
So, with all the honesty I can muster, take your faith and insert it forcefully into your colon.
Have a nice day!
