Ben Carson is brilliant and kind. Therefore, he has no business running for president.
There is nary a word to be said against Dr. Ben Carson. He is a soft-spoken gentleman of civilized refinementbroadly educated, highly skilled, widely accomplished, and universally respected. And he rose from a background of social adversity and economic deprivation that makes President Obama look like the lost Bush brother.
Thus Ben Carson makes us feel small. By us I mean the part of America filled with funk and failure. This is the America where political pundits reside.
We pundits have done our best to cut Ben Carson down to size. But we might as well be George Washington with the cherry tree if George had the body mass index of Kelly Ripa, Georges little hatchet were a butter knife, and the tree a mighty oak.
But George Washington couldnt tell a lie, and we pundits can. Here, quoted from a recent AP political analysis piece, are two typical failed attempts to throw Ben Carson into the snark tank.
...a gaffe-prone novice lacking a national profile and any significant political network.
In other words Ben Carson is a person who says what he thinks, hasnt spent decades screwing the pooch in Washington or flying his ass from the media flagpole, and he isnt friends with the pack rats running through the sewers of democracy.

Down with Carson!
In a perfect world the only Pubs on the debate stage would be Trump , Cruz and Carson , and the debates would be moderated by Rush , Jeff Kuhner and Michael Savage .
Surgeon General Dr Ben Carson-— who can help play a significant role in getting rid of OblahMaoCare.
I say let him stay in as insurance in case something happens to the Donald.
It’s time to pull the plug on Bush, Walker, Rand Paul, Graham, Christie, Jindal and the rest of the >5 percenters.
It makes no sense to pull the plug on #2 in the polls. That’s just wishful thinking on the part of the GOPe.
And Attorney General Ted Cruz....
It’s up to Carson if and when he decides to withdraw.
Yes. Down with all of them until only one remains! I say we start alphabetically...
I already said this about Ron Paul, and I’ll say it about Dr. Carson.
Although I like many of their statements on issues, I think Washington would chew them up and spit them out.
Dr. Carson has a good ‘bedside manner’. I’d want him if I needed brain surgery.
But to be the engineer on a runaway locomotive ? No.
Need a Gladiator.. Super-Cruz.. the Sheriff..
Not Scrooge McTrump..
Exactly.
But wait ... Megyn Kelly thinks he and Carly are da Bomb!
AGREE!
Really, do I want an honest man in the white house in such a wicked environment.
boy, what happened to Walker. Sounds like he’s done a great job and shows he can win, but just doesn’t light a spark in me.
Who is a relative newcomer and who can be bought by unknown donors unless he comes as part of a Trump package. Excellent as Trump's choice for Attorney General. But you purists are going to have blood on your hands if you persist in your own brand of conservative elitism. There is a new paradigm. Trump is necessary to the presidency not because he is perfect--which he definitely is NOT--but because he CANNOT be bought, he is his own man. And because he has an enormous track record of getting incredibly difficult objectives achieved. Do not forget that fact. And we are out of time.
amen to that. He’s a GOPe stooge along with Carly. Michael Steele 2.0 2015 for white guilt-ridden conservatives...
I wondered why this article was so brilliantly written and then looked at who the author is.
Which is rare in a surgeon.
Fiorina would nuke half the planet on a bad hair day.
