Ben Carson hits back at Ilhan Omar after she knocks his performance during House hearing
Fox News ^ | May 22, 2019 | Sam Dorman

Ben Carson has fired back at Rep. Ilhan Omar, D-Mich., after the controversial freshman congresswoman criticized him after a hearing Tuesday.

Omar knocked the Housing and Urban Development (HUD) secretary over his conduct during an appearance before the House Financial Services Committee.

"Not sure he was fully awake, maybe he meant to reclaim his time back to sleep," she quipped. She was playing off of Carson's request for time during a testy exchange with Rep. Ayanna Pressley, D-Mass.

Again, I ask you:

What is your solution?

‘I don’t have much interest in ‘firebrands’ and their wayward solutions to problems that haven’t yet fully bloomed.”

Oh, you mean like the not yet ‘fully bloomed’ attempted coup removal of the President of the United States ? or,

the not yet ‘fully bloomed’ open border replacement of the population of the UnitedStates?

good thing your view didn’t prevail in 1776

My solution is to recognize the extreme danger we are in, and to recognize and fight the enemy all out to the end.

You still haven’t told me your solution.

(I think that in 1776, you would have been required to declare - there was all that ‘hang together or hang separately’ stuff, y’know...)

I’m still trusting the system, and the decent men that I think are still in the game; you don’t seem to trust any of it anymore.

So: what is your solution?

By the time it "blooms" it will be too late.

Well that seems a very vague, general and safe way of putting things.

At this point, if you fight otherwise than with your vote or
with your freedom of speech, I can’t follow you.

We don’t need another revolution or civil war. We need rule of law - which we already have - and decent men who will stand up and demand adherence to them.

You don’t need guns to do that; you need brains.

Well, I guess you really don’t see any ‘fully bloomed’ problems do you ?

My solution; not “just noise’.

Still no declaration of a practical solution from anyone...

G’Nite. You’ve all become boring.

Your solution, which you won’t declare but which I sense, *stinks*.

We tried it once; and far more people died than in any of our other wars - including most of the other wars put together.

Grow Up!

We need 33%. The revolution was a third patriots, a third for the King and a third “moderate” fence sitters.

I’m an American; and I love my fellow citizens. I believe that we can work things out - the last couple of years have proven to me that the Nation is slowly moving back in line with its Founding.

If you think otherwise and feel the need to go to guns, then any blood will be on *your* hands.

I don’t want it on mine.

I think you are hallucinating about something for which you have not the slightest evidence.
Probably that “academia discontent” influence.

(You also, not so subtly, want to spark something inflammatory for some pathological reason.)

I can’t see what’s ‘pathological’ or ‘inflammatory’ about asking people to just ‘calm down’ and ‘wait and see’.

(I think you’re just covering for yourself, now :-)

AOC is just plain stupid. I worry about Omar donning a suicide vest and blowing up some of our people.

Your continued,”What’s your solution?” is what is a perverse attempt to provoke;

And at the same time an unsuccessful transparent attempt to obscure from YOUR refusal to answer whether the coup action against the Presidency, and the illegal antiAmerican open borders are sufficiently enough “fully bloomed” for you to get off your moral high horse.

It's NOT a perverse attempt to provoke. You repeatedly suggested that you had some solution - but you would never declare a practical solution in plain words!

I'm sorry, but I'm a believer in plain words. Tell me in plain words what your solutions are to:

"coup action against the Presidency, and the illegal antiAmerican open borders"

Darling, unless I'm madly in love with a man, I actually demand that he clearly explain himself!

(You can work on it overnight. It's late, and I'm going to bed.)

There you go again with your diversion antics.: “You repeatedly suggested that you had some solution ...”

Well, NOT, I suggested no such thing but you just keep going back to that to cover up YOUR refusal to answer the “fully bloomed problem” question, which is the question.

(Whether or not I have a solution has absolutely nothing at all do with your “just noise” meme.)

*sigh*

I told you I was going to bed; and this time I mean it.

In your post 48, you wrote:

My solution; not “just noise’.

What did you mean by that?

G'Nite!!!
