| Aw what now? |
The decor at Ben Carson’s home in Maryland shows that Donald Trump may not have the biggest ego among the Republican candidates. On display are awards, certificates, medals, and a painting of himself with Jesus.
Seriously WHO has a picture painted of themselves with Jesus?
I guess Ben was too busy learning how to cut open human brains to learn anything about spelling.
There are many more photos at the link which show that Carson's home is literally covered with certificates, photos, and medals all paying homage to his greatness.
Speaking of proverbs wasn't there one in the Bible about pride and a fall?
By the way this is his wife Candy Carson.
And of course there are still more of Carson's lies coming to light almost on an hourly basis now.
At this point I think Carson's goose is cooked.
Or at least it should be.
But then again attempting to predict what the loons in the Right Wing might do in response to these revelations is becoming just about impossible.
Poverbs 22:4... lol
ReplyDelete"Poverbs 22:4"
ReplyDeleteNot to nitpick, but isn't that supposed to be "proverbs" 22:4?
Not trying to be funny but is "poverbs" ebonics for "proverbs"?
po' verbs
DeleteVerbs for po' folk?
Ebonics? Nah, it's just a typo.
DeleteWhy assume that illiteracy, poor spelling skills, and most of all, simply not proofreading, are characteristics of African American Vernacular English (ebonics)?
DeleteGo back to C4P.
DeleteNot to nitpick but I think that Jesus pic is supposed to be HIM!!!
DeleteHolyshit!
(insert music from psycho here)
Wow, Jesus has not aged a day from the pictures I remember of him when I was a child. I am impressed that he posed with Ben Carson. Have you heard Mrs. Carson singing the National Anthem? She does that at every event. Let's just say...she has a voice only a mother can appreciate ..or people who have paid a huge sum to be allowed to sit and listen to her husband. The crazy runs very deep in that family!
ReplyDeleteBen Carson might be a brilliant neurosurgeon, but the man isn't wrapped too tight!
DeleteJust speculating, but is Candy a wealthy woman in her own right? Maybe she is the only one he could find that agrees with his very high opinion of himself. There is an old saying "God matched them as he made them." Seems true in the case of the Carsons. Please tell me they do not have children.
DeleteThere are children. Bennie Boy missed most of that part.
DeleteAccording to Candy, "sometimes I felt like a single mom because he wasn't around most of the time."
http://thehill.com/blogs/pundits-blog/presidential-campaign/257849-with-ben-carson-a-contender-a-look-at-wife-candy
Ben chose getting ahead over his family. He left Candy alone to feel single. I suppose they went regularly to church and the children, when they were young, had that example of their faith.
The children grew up to be successful. At least that is what their social media claims. They are adults now and won't be vetted.

Delete6:45 AM Don't kid yourself! We will be hearing more about his adult children and his wife! They will be vetted unless Carson is dumped by his party (Republicans) soon!
DeleteIt's perversely fascinating to watch the loonies of the right embrace Carson, and not make a peep about his wife, after the years of vitriol they have dumped on Obama and Michelle. Maybe their knickers were in a knot not because there was a black man in the White House, but because the black man in the White House is smarter, more accomplished, wittier, and more sophisticated than they are in their wildest dreams? With a better family, also too.
ReplyDeleteIn short: uppity.
You are so right! But they heap their vitriol on anyone with more than a ninth grade education.
Delete"the black man in the White House is smarter, more accomplished, wittier, and more sophisticated than they are in their wildest dreams? With a better family, also too."
Delete-------------------------------
Oh, I think you've nailed it.
The loons and maroons on the right will always find something to bellyache about President Obama and his family.
DeleteRemember when Ann "the man" Coulter claimed that their blacks (Republican) are better than ours (Democrats).
You would think Ann was talking about produce. I wonder what the old hateful skank is doing these days?!
I have a photo of the First Family (sent to Democrats) in my office. I look at it every day for inspiration. I think I'll just keep it up after Jan. 2017 because they are so terrific.
DeleteI have one of those, 8:04. I put it in a prominent place just to piss off my brother at Thanksgiving time.
DeleteI have one of Hillary, too.
Wow, Mrs Carson is no Sunny Johnston! But is she as educated?????
ReplyDeleteHuh?
DeleteNo Tymber, sorry but she isn't.
DeleteYES, she IS educated.
Delete"Proverbs," with a capital P, actually.
ReplyDeleteCandy Carson looks like a middle-aged woman, which she is, and you picked a particularly ugly photo of her to illustrate your post. Don't be an asshole about her looks. She's not putting pictures of herself with Jesus up on the wall.
Have to agree with you.
DeleteGryphen would NEVER be an asshole about a woman's looks! He's a FEMINIST! /S
Delete+++
DeleteI agree. I will not shame or ridicule Mrs. Carson based on her looks.
DeleteShe is not trying to sway public opinion or garner votes by the use of props and phony enhancements.
Not too many photos out there of her not looking like that, take a gander before you rip on Gryphen.
DeleteShe a meek, humble Xtian wife selected only to serve her husband. Ya'll really think we don't say a thing?
Delete>>Candy Carson looks like a middle-aged woman, which she is,
DeleteSo is Michelle Obama. What the hell does being middle aged have to do with it? You can be middle aged and be fit, stylish and well presented. Our First Lady is a stellar example. Mrs. Carson is sloppy, dated and not easy to look at. And that's a fact.

She a meek, humble Xtian wife selected only to serve her husband..... Also too subservient in that Xtian way. She was kept at home to do all the heavy lifting in regard to a family life. If that had been my choice I would have had several years eating bonbons and chocolate covered cherry candies while watching "The Doctors". Her name is Candy. She had to find away to cope with the cards she dealt herself.
DeleteDo they have kids? Wonder what they are like? I'm sure we'll be finding out eventually and then he is really going to be pissed at the media/journalist.
DeleteAmazing he didn't think he and his wouldn't be vetted during his run for the primary for the Republican party! He's never going to be selected, but it will be fun finding more out about the lying and over-inflated piece of caca!
Yes, the kids should definitely be dug out too. Let's make sure they're at least healthier looking than the Huckabee sons, who seemed to have been rolled into deep cover this round, perhaps gotten even more alarming in appearance than '08,
DeleteOh those nuclear codes...
ReplyDelete"Oh those nuclear codes..." Terrifying isn't it?
DeleteBwahahahahahahaha!
DeleteI've never seen a picture of Jesus with such a big grin.
ReplyDeleteDr. Ben's favorite pic of Jesus is the one on his nightstand; it is autographed.
DeleteBull O'Really can verify the signature, since I am sure he was THERE when the photo was signed.!!
DeleteIf you haven't already, you have to check out the Guardian article. His "home" is like a museum to Ben himself. It looks like he's already started his presidential library. After seeing the interior of his home, I'm having trouble deciding whether he or T Rump is the bigger egomaniac.
ReplyDeleteThe inclusion of a picture of Mrs. Carson with the caption "be nice" was sexist as f*ck.
ReplyDeleteHardly. The point of including her picture (And by the way try to find one on the internet that is much better) was to help illustrate Carson's megalomania.
DeleteEVERYTHING in his home, including his wife, are there to put a spotlight on him. HE is the most accomplished, HE is the best looking, HE is one worthy of attention.
Yes she has her own quite impressive accomplishments, but they pale in comparison to her husband's. At least that is the way he wants it to appear.
By the way if you think he has not cheated on her several times in their past, I have a bridge I would like to sell you. These super super religious types, with doting wives, are almost always incredible hypocrites, and I seriously doubt he is turning down too many opportunities to take advantage of good looks and fame.
Oh by the way, she sings too: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oD8x5JBuV0c
How the heck was she to develop her career potential when she was left on her own to be like a single mother and raise 3 sons? Boys don't need their father when he is a neurosurgeon? Mrs. Carson knew her place and would not want to share child raising and have time for her own pursuits?
DeleteHow the hell would you (Gryphen) know about whether Carson has been faithful to his wife? With these examples of how his home is decorated do you really think that a mistress would stay in the shadows if he had one? I don't like Carson one bit, but that is a pretty shitty thing to say without any proof or backup. I suspect Gryphen is projecting. Would love to hear the ex Mrs Gryphen's take on their marriage.
DeleteI, too, suspect Carson has probably had affairs! It would not surprise me one bit if we later learn he has.
DeleteAmongst all of this, he probably thinks he is god's gift to women being the lying Republican, god-fearing Christian he says he is!
Christian that he says he is!
I agree with Jennifer. What was your intention when you posted a picture of his wife without mentioning her accomplishments?
DeleteWomen need to call this stuff out whenever and where ever we see it! Whether it comes from men, women liberals or conservatives.
Considering the treatment of Mrs. Obama I think saying "be nice" was totally appropriate.
DeleteAlthough the posters here are less likely to be insulting than what you'll find out in the general public.
LOL!
ReplyDeleteLook how big Jesus' hand is! He could wrap one hand around old Ben and shake some sense into him. Isn't that in proverbs somewhere?
ReplyDeleteAs far as Candy, I have not heard her sing, but it takes a special kind of hubris to sing the national anthem every time your husband takes a stage. For all that I despise Condi Rice, I don;t recall her sitting down at every piano she saw and playing Chopin, and she is a classically trained pianist. I suspect the Carsons are just too cheap to hire someone to sing, or their organization is too loose to find a volunteer where they are performing, er speaking, er lying.
Isn't it a form of blasphemy to have a painting of yourself with Jesus? I'm sure that is the farthest thing from the true Christian spirit that can be done. He has doubled down on his "heroic" stories but gets mad when the media can't find any verification. He scares me more than Trump right now.
Delete@5:56 or Mrs. Carson want a legit cover for supervising her husband on the campaign trail?
DeleteThe late Dr Harvey Cushing was a much better neurosurgeon than Ben ever will be.

‘God’s Spokesman’: A New GOP Frontrunner Comes To Florida
ReplyDeleteA gasp rippled through the aisles of the bookstore as hundreds of mainly older, white women waiting to see Dr. Ben Carson realized the neurosurgeon, author, and presidential candidate was in the building. “I can see him,” squealed a white-haired woman, clutching a stack of books to her chest and straining on her tiptoes as those around her cheered. Another breathlessly told ThinkProgress, “We waited here for hours, no chairs, no nothing. But we endured because we wanted to see him.”

Ben Carson’s “proof” for story about hoax class is literally parody
ReplyDeletehttp://americablog.com/2015/11/ben-carsons-proof-for-story-about-hoax-class-is-literally-parody
http://crooksandliars.com/2015/11/how-much-worse-do-things-have-get-carson
Here's the problem with Ben Carson: he has all these gifts, but a deep reservoir of self-doubt that he cannot overcome. His whole life has been about shaking a sense of not being good enough, so he's had to overachieve, while simultaneously telling himself he really IS better than anyone else, just so he can sleep at night.
ReplyDeleteSO his background - featuring the anger he barely holds in check all his life - has transmogrified into a hero's journey - from field hand to house boy - starring Ben Carson as all three persons in the Trinity. He is cursed with the authoritarian mind set, as well as infected with a strong religious fervor that exists because GOD chose BEN, but only after Ben chose God, first. What this means is that he ALWAYS has to be the smartest, purest guy in the room, and everyone else, in comparison, is stupid and impure, ESPECIALLY "secular progressives."
Oh, my FSM! This guy is a powder keg, ready to blow! He's spent the last 40 years surrounding himself with fawning sycophants, and only now that he's being called out in the cold light of - you know- reality! are the surgical mask and halo slipping, and the monster coming out.
I made it a point to read Ben Carson's book, Gifted Hands, once my two evangelical sisters got excited about his candidacy. My overwhelming take from the book as a whole is his extreme arrogance and his view of himself as the savior to other African Americans. Those pictures of his home were not in the book, but they totally reinforce my impression of him from the book.
ReplyDeleteWhere was the vetting on the stupid final exam story? How does his story demonstrate who is the most honest? How would lying about exams being burned and telling students that they would need to retake the exams result in your identifying who is the most HONEST? Really? If everybody in the class walked out, refusing to retake a test that they had already taken, and Carson was the only one who stayed to do it over--it shows who is the most obedient, or compliant not the most honest. He is constantly saying how honest he is, but his book isn;t really helping him there. Also, what was the point of having a photographer there to take the photo of honest Carson receiving $10 from his teacher? Who goes through the trouble of having a photographer to document the event, if no photos of it exists? Also, what would they have done if 25 kids stayed to take the test? How would they determine the "Most Honest" or whatever the test was about- if more than one person behaved the same way?
ReplyDeleteMy thoughts exactly.

Bullsh*t. Trump is a vainglorious arrogant bastard, who loves to brag about being rich, handsome, and the smartest Teaparty cretin that has ever walked
DeleteThis one's been floating around online for a while but resurfaced on social media yesterday: A video of Ben Carson going after the New World Order which vaguely has to do with atheists and socialist trying to destroy America. As an atheist and a socialist and I can assure Mr. Carson, our goal is not to "destroy" America but rather the people who run it. Nevertheless, check out the clip yourself. Begin at roughly the 0:58 mark:
ReplyDeletehttp://www.alternet.org/news-amp-politics/more-bizarre-carson-stories-emerge-new-world-order-paranoia-and-paintings-himself
Trump looks far better than the Carson guy!
ReplyDeleteAnd, Carson is nuts thinking he doesn't warrant vetting when a 'supposed' candidate for POTUS! In fact, he deserves much more based on the off the wall things he has been saying!
When he said he's been put under more scrutiny than President Obama, I almost lost my cookies! Give me a frigging break!
Carson needs to be kicked in his ass and run off the stage! He is a nut job and he's in no way qualified to run this country!
I can't help but wonder about his being declared an outstanding doctor. Who put that out there? Would love their name(s) and proof sources of what he's actually accomplished medically. I wonder if any of the journalist are in touch with any of his former patients? Plus, I wonder what the nurses think of him? They'd be the real truth tellers! I'll wager he's a pain in the ass with a horrible attitude problem!
I know he'd never see me as a patient!
What can be said? The man is a self-absorbed narcissist. He actually surpasses Sarah Palin and Ted Cruz and, yes, Trump.
ReplyDeleteWith Trump, the bravado is easier to swallow, because Donald doesn't push any religious dogma down people's throats for votes. He wants the evangelical vote, but his platform isn't self-promotion of his faith, and while Trump has a yuuuge ego in his own right, still doesn't do sacrilege by having his image painted alongside Jesus.
Holy cheeze whiz on a cracker! That portrait is just just........no words.
He reminds me of Clarence Thomas.

ReplyDeleteDr. Ben Carson does like to spin a tale, doesn't he? There are now so many examples of his embellishments, To think that the Conservatives went ballistic when Brian Williams got caught with a single example of poor memory resulting in embellishing his history. He got booted off the air. Why aren't the Conservatives at least a little interested in all these embellished, stories about Dr. Ben Carson. Double standard? Well, of course!
ReplyDeleteWhere are the pictures of Mrs. Carson? Where are the pictures of their children? Guess they don't count in Ben's mind.

ReplyDeleteCandy's kind of cute, (did I mention I'm blind?) but the Jedi Jesus portrait is a bit over the top. So Jesus hung out with homies who hit their mom in the head with a hammer, knocked some kid upside his head with a lock, and tried to stab someone.
Even though I think Carson is a wack job, his wife looks like a nice lady. She always has a smile on her face.
