Ben Carson: "If You Believe You Came From a Monkey That's Fine; Listening to You I Think You're Probably Right"

Ben Carson: “If You Believe You Came From a Monkey That’s Fine; Listening to You I Think You’re Probably Right”

So very open-minded and objective

PoliticsNovember 2015 • Views: 53,808

In this clip from an interview Ben Carson did in 2010, he launches into a garbled account of Darwin’s Galapagos Island finches, then says he’s objective and open-minded and has no problem with evolutionary theory or scientists — and follows it up with an insult: “If you want to believe you came from a monkey, that’s fine, and listening to you I think you’re probably right.”

So very objective and open-minded!

Dr. Carson is a Seventh Day Adventist (SDA) and therefore is most probably a Young Earth Creationist. SDAs demand a rigorous literal interpretation of the Bible, the 7th refers to the God resting on the 7th day of a week long creation.

Of course, this will simply fuel the RWNJs screams of “he’s only being persecuted because he’s a Christian”.

Yet another questionable police shooting

Initial story told was that City Marshals were attempting to serve warrant to Chris Few.
Few attempted to flee in his vehicle, chase ensued.
Stuck in a dead end, Few attempted to back out, ramming police car.
Marshals exited vehicle and fired on Few.
Jeremy Mardis, Few’s autistic six-year-old son, was discovered shot to death inside vehicle.

Links are arranged in close to chronological order

Six-year-old boy in Louisiana was likely fatally shot by police says coroner

Father of six-year-old boy killed during police chase was not armed, chief says

UPDATE: Stepfather says there were no warrants out on Few

State Police Commander Mike Edmonson said he’s not aware of any warrant that had been issued for the arrest of Chris Few.

The Clerk of Court for the City of Marksville said they had “nothing” on Few, and the Avoyelles Parish District Attorney’s Office said they had no pending warrants on Few, and that they had “never” had any warrants out on him.

Louisiana police concede officers fired shots that killed six-year-old boy

Police disavowed an earlier explanation for why officers shot at a car driven by Chris Few, killing his six-year-old son, Jeremy Madis, in Marksville

Few’s fiancee, Megan Dixon, said the entire tragedy started with a romantic dispute. Earlier on Tuesday night, she said, she and Few had bickered at TJ’s pool hall, and she had left with a friend named Sally. Few also left, and picked up his son at a relative’s house.

A short while later, Few pulled up next to Dixon at a stop light - Marksville is a small town - and tried to get her to come home with him. “I wouldn’t do it,” she said. “I’m stubborn.”

Moments later, she said, as the cars pulled away from the light, she saw two marshals’ cars - marked in black and white - approaching from behind with their lights flashing. She looked into Few’s car as he pulled away, and he was pointing at his son’s head, indicating that he was in the car and he wasn’t sure what to do.

Few was afraid of the marshals, she said, because he and and one of the marshals on the scene had a prior personal conflict.

EDIT-Forgot to add this quote from the above article, likely the most damning:

Orange spray paint marks the orientation of Few’s car and three patrol cars, at the intersection of Taensas Street and Martin Luther King Drive. The particular placement of the cars – and a spray of glass from the passenger’s side of Few’s car – seems to indicate Few was not backing toward the officers. His car was perpendicular to them, and the officers’ shots hit the driver’s side broadside.

It would be nice if a moderator at the next debate asked Jindal, Cruz and Huck about their appearing at a conference promoting Christian Reconstructionism. The organizer, Kevin Swanson is a piece of work… just a quick excerpt from rightwingwatch.org. And most of the other speakers are just a crazy.

Swanson, a Colorado-based homeschooling activist, pastor and radio host, rejects the term “Christian Patriarchy” but says he ascribes to the passage in Ephesians that guides the movement’s view of male headship and female submission in marriage. Swanson also takes hardline Christian Reconstructionist positions, such as his view that the death penalty for gay people is just. Just a sampling of Swanson’s views includes: - See more at: rightwingwatch.org

Not even that. This guy was apparently dead serious about mentally and emotionally abusing his wife to enforce his will. The website’s author stopped short of endorsing physical abuse, but acknowledged that it was a viewpoint with some traction in the hardcore fundamentalist niche.

Just edited my comment, forgot to include this:

Orange spray paint marks the orientation of Few’s car and three patrol cars, at the intersection of Taensas Street and Martin Luther King Drive. The particular placement of the cars - and a spray of glass from the passenger’s side of Few’s car - seems to indicate Few was not backing toward the officers. His car was perpendicular to them, and the officers’ shots hit the driver’s side broadside.

Scott Walker cited shooting of Illinois cop to bash Obama

A police death linked by Gov. Scott Walker to President Barack Obama and anti-police rhetoric is now being described as a suicide and hoax rather than the shooting of a hero.

As the governor’s presidential campaign plummeted in September, Walker wrote a column for the conservative website Hot Air in which he decried the death of an Illinois police officer, Fox Lake police Lt. Charles Joseph Gliniewicz, and another officer in Texas.

Citing those deaths, the GOP governor said then that the Democratic president was a “divider-in-chief” who had failed to speak up for police and speak out about the “inflammatory and disgusting rhetoric” used by some critics of law enforcement.

“In the last six years under President Obama, we’ve seen a rise in anti-police rhetoric. Instead of hope and change, we’ve seen racial tensions worsen and a tendency to use law enforcement as a scapegoat,” Walker wrote.

Don’t know if this has been mentioned, but the large religious institution (that’d be the Mormon church) which dominates the Intermountain West came down with two edicts today.

1) Children of same sex marriages cannot be blessed (as babies) or baptized at age 8. They have to wait until they’re 18 and then swear that they’re against same-sex marriage.

kutv.com

2) The large religious institution has changed the definition of apostasy to include “being in a same-gender marriage.” The other items are a) acting in public opposition to church leaders b) teaching false doctrine after being told not to c)following apostate groups like polygamists and e) formally joining another church and advocating its teachings.

kutv.com

I can’t even begin to imagine the havoc this is going to wreak on families as grandparents discover the children of their same-sex married children can’t be blessed in church, and the church is now going to root out and excommunicate apostates who are in legal marriages.

This is also likely to provoke frosty relations between the Mormon church and Salt Lake City Hall, as the putative next mayor of SLC is Jackie Biskupski, a lesbian.

N.B. I’d also note that under point 2), there’s a bit about formally joining another church and advocating its teachings. A certain Marco Rubio joined the Mormon church as a teenager. Currently he splits his time between a Baptist church on Saturday night and Catholic mass on Sunday. I wonder if he’s still a member of the Mormon church, which doesn’t dump you until you turn 110, or if he quietly resigned?

God helps Ben Carson replace his secretary

“I had to address the problem of what to do about my current secretary, who, besides being incapable of doing the work, was an alcoholic. I had not told anyone else, but I knew that something had to change.

How do I handle this situation? The woman really needs help. My firing her might add one more disaster to her life. But I can’t have this kind of gross inefficiency, I thought. At the same time, I’m softhearted. I always feel sad when I have to do something unpleasant even if necessary, and it is especially hard for me to fire somebody. I was beside myself, not knowing what to do.

I walked back into my office, shut the door, and prayed quietly, Lord, how am I going to resolve this dilemma without having to hurt anyone? I want to be kind to her, but I can’t let this go on.

I did not get an instant answer, but I felt better.

Two weeks later, my then-secretary did not show up on a Monday morning. We called her apartment and got no response then or later. For days we kept trying to locate her, including checking with all the local hospitals. We never did find out what happened to her. She simply disappeared. I regret that the depth of this woman’s problems leading to her dismal situation was not more apparent to me and that I did not have more time to try to help her resolve her problems.

I am thankful that this problem was resolved without any unpleasantness on my part.”

Does not compute.

My overlord is a highly efficient mouser. She’s seems more talented in the torture arena than my past ones, too. I would attribute it to her feral origins, but she was probably only about 10 weeks old when she condescended to join our household.

Oy. My ex had a good friend who was into that sect. One of the most annoying people I’ve ever met, because she was very passive, yet very into victimhood (“woe is me, I’m so helpless”, etc.) After a time, she finally got on my ex’s last nerve, and their friendship soon ended, much to my great relief.

This was posted on Tuesday

If the actual number comes in higher than 181,000 — let’s say, 200,000 — Wall Street will worry even more that the Fed has the excuse it needs to raise borrowing costs. And the stock market could convulse if the number is too good.

This is the part of the plot where Wall Street gets angry, frantic and concerned all at once. This is where Wall Street becomes the damsel in distress.

So, the Fed will have the excuse it needs to raise rates, right?

Maybe. If the next Fed meeting were next week. But the next time Yellen gets the band together will be Dec. 15 and 16 — and, by that time, we’ll have the jobs report for November.

Lets see what happens to the stock market today.

I know the feeling. My ex was into the Soka Gakkai. She’d start the day chanting “Nam Myoho Renge Kyo” for a good hour and end the day the same way. She’d recite the leader’s (Ikeda) latest writings. They put pressure on me to join but I just couldn’t handle the bullshit.

My ex was into that for a while. Must admit, I had a look at it and there was very little about the message that I disagreed with, and I found the organization interesting: no priest, only lay functionaries. I did not get any pressure from anyone, they seemed friendly and welcoming to outsiders.

But there was nothing about the religion itself that appealed to anything within me to make me want to follow it.

Russia is suspending flights to/from Egypt following the crash of the Russian jet in Sinai. It’s looking more and more like a bomb was responsible for taking down the plane - as Russia wouldn’t take this step unless the cause was likely terrorism.

Now, the question is how does Egypt go about improving security for airlines, let alone getting a grip on activity in Sinai. Egypt has been dealing with terrorists/militants in Sinai for decades, with mixed success. Egyptian leaders are content to allow Sinai to simmer so long as it doesn’t affect tourism, which is a key economic driver for the country. Attack tourist destinations, and the crackdown is likely to be harsh - as has happened after attacks on Luxor.

Egypt will pour resources into trying to improve airline security, but the airlines still flying there aren’t taking chances. A number have changed their baggage rules - allowing carry on only; the remaining luggage will be sent separately. Flights were also halted between the UK and Egypt’s Sharm el-Sheikh.

The situation is a mess, especially as Egyptian authorities say that they can’t handle the baggage left behind by those airlines refusing to include them on passenger flights.

re: #162 goddamnedfrank

White people love to make this face when you make random eye contact in an elevator

Years ago I took an Improv class in college. One of the skits we did as a team was to upset the norm of elevator etiquette. We did a skit where there were a couple of people on the elevator and when a new guy got on, instead of turning around and facing the door, he stood with his back to the door, in essence staring at those already on the elevator. Facial expression hilarity ensued.

This was based on the same thing happening when I used to work for a company whose facility was in a 14 story building. This dude would always get on and just look at everyone. Well almost the same…we skipped the facial expressions, because really, that’s serial killer behavior. Who doesn’t face the door? And who want’s to garner the attention of an obvious serial killer! :-)

The derp is strong, and overpowering at that. There is no scenario in which Gov. Christie is surging, or staging a comeback with polling that has consistently been under 5% since May.

He’s been lucky to have been included in the main debates up until now, and now his support has dropped to the point where he’s at the little kid’s debate. He’s entered asterisk territory, and it doesn’t matter that he gave a thoughtful response to a single policy question yesterday.

We usually hear about this kind of thing in Europe, but it’s not entirely uncommon in NYC - excavations adjacent to Washington Square Park find two burial vaults containing dozens of human remains dating back to the 19th century. It appears they may be from one or two defunct churches that existed nearby.

I can’t help but to think of the ending scene of Gangs of New York. Don’t know if you ever seen the film LH so I’ll spoiler tag it.

Click to Reveal

The camera shows the graves of Priest Vallon(Liam Neeson) and Bill the Butcher (Daniel Day Lewis) on a hillside. First the graves are readable and visible. Then they fade and we see I believe the Brooklyn Bridge in the background. And finally the Twin Towers in the skyline and the graves are pretty much out of sight “Like we were never here” says Amsterdam Vallon (Leonardo DiCaprio) in the voiceover.

Now they are married, with two girls aged 16 and 17.

Honestly, as weird as this is, these two people, in my mind, simply went against societal norms. Of course I think it’s weird, because it is my societal norm as well - that an adult doesn’t have an affair with a 12 year old child - but these two people seem to genuinely be in the kind of love that is in novels.

I think simply saying “they had sex” doesn’t explain their relationship. It wasn’t just sex. And it wasn’t a simple case of teacher/student abuse.

I was fascinated by this originally and have read a lot of follow up stories. It’s something I can’t really understand or relate to…I can’t imagine that kind of love, because that is what it truly seems to be.

The interesting thing about that case was Mary Kay’s father was a John Bircher and Rep from California. So weird to see they have children who are upper classmen in high school now.

I mean it’s simple. President Obama is not qualified for BenCarson’s job as a neurosurgeon. Carson only qualifies in that he’s a natural born citizen that fits the age requirement. There’s lots of people like that in this country. He may be a successful neurosurgeon and good for him on that but that does not qualify him to run the United States government. Funny how conservatives worries about experience go out the window when it’s one of their own.

As a teacher, I had (and have) real qualms about this sort of thing, but, you know, it happens. Too often, it’s a male teacher seducing a female student (or male, ftm). More rare is the female teacher seducing the male. In Letourneau’s case, it doesn’t seem like a seduction, but a case of two people finding their soulmate. The very awkward (and illegal) part was one of them was only 12 years old at the time, and the teacher, being in loco parentis, is supposed to be the adult keeping the child from sexual activity. Letourneau was acting unprofessionally, even recklessly, by having sex with the boy. Whether they were in love is irrelevant. She could have kept her knickers on until he was old enough to marry her, or at least be above the age of consent.

Now, that’s all water under the bridge. He’s 32 and she’s 54. They seem happy. So, I suppose I can turn off the judgmental shit now and wish them well.

Ben Carson is not right in the head. He’s getting angry that CNN are investigating the stories he’s told about his past

“This is a bunch of lies, that is what it is,” Carson said on CNN’s “New Day” when Alisyn Camerota asked about the report by Scott Glover and Maeve Reston in which they spoke to people Carson grew up with. “This is a bunch of lies attempting to say I’m lying about my history, I think it’s pathetic, and basically what the media does is they try to get you distracted.”

“The vetting that you all did with President Obama doesn’t even come close, doesn’t even come close to what you guys are trying to do in my case, and you’re just going to keep going back, ‘He said this 12 years ago’ — it is just garbage,” Carson said. “Give me a break.”

re: #322 wheat-dogghazi-mailgate

As a teacher, I had (and have) real qualms about this sort of thing, but, you know, it happens. Too often, it’s a male teacher seducing a female student (or male, ftm). More rare is the female teacher seducing the male. In Letourneau’s case, it doesn’t seem like a seduction, but a case of two people finding their soulmate. The very awkward (and illegal) part was one of them was only 12 years old at the time, and the teacher, being in loco parentis, is supposed to be the adult keeping the child from sexual activity. Letourneau was acting unprofessionally, even recklessly, by having sex with the boy. Whether they were in love is irrelevant. She could have kept her knickers on until he was old enough to marry her, or at least be above the age of consent.

Now, that’s all water under the bridge. He’s 32 and she’s 54. They seem happy. So, I suppose I can turn off the judgmental shit now and wish them well.

We’ll never turn off the judgement. It’s weird to us…all of us.

It’s the right wing’s MO. They actually do fling racist crap at Dem candidates and the few times they actually find an African-American or racial minority that agrees with their shit to run on their party’s banner and when those candidates eventually do attract criticism because A) political criticism is inevitable and B) because guys like Jackson and now Carson are batshit insane, the right cries YOU’RE THE REAL RACIST LIBTARD. The fact of the matter is liberal and Democratic groups aren’t sending racist chainmails about Carson. Their problem with Carson is simply with his worldview. The same cannot be said about many (not all) right wing critics of President Obama.

What a strange world we live in though.

I had a student like that. His English teacher gave up trying to explain imagery, metaphor, and “reading between the lines” to the kid. Meanwhile, he was burning through all the AP science,math and compsci courses.

Being someone who loves math and science and does not really care for a lot of the “interpret why Moby Dick is an allegory for a fight between the past and the future” (yes, bad on purpose), what I and he needs is an engineering explanation for a lot of that stuff. More importantly, not every person can be taught the nuances of Shakespeare sonnets just like not everyone can be taught proof by induction. And Carson, obviously, can’t be taught anything after he received his license.

What’s fucked up about all this is that he’s using the stereotype of the violent black man to make himself look hardscrabble, street smart and tough. He’s fucking creepy.

Someone can correct me if I’m wrong, but wasn’t the book “The Cross and the Switchblade” eventually found to be mostly fiction? Carson may be trying for a similar dramatic “come to Jesus” narrative, which sells more books than “I was a smart and nerdy kid who became a 7th day adventist because it sounded OK.”

re: #426 Fourth Football of the Apocalypse

Is that actually true?

Looks to be:

Ben Carson’s campaign on Friday admitted, in a response to an inquiry from POLITICO, that a central point in his inspirational personal story was fabricated: his application and acceptance into the U.S. Military Academy at West Point.

The academy has occupied a central place in Carson’s tale for years. According to a story told in Carson’s book, “Gifted Hands,” the then-17 year old was introduced in 1969 to Gen. William Westmoreland, who had just ended his command of U.S. forces in Vietnam, and the two dined together. That meeting, according to Carson’s telling, was followed by a “full scholarship” to the military academy.

West Point, however, has no record of Carson applying, much less being extended admission.

“In 1969, those who would have completed the entire process would have received their acceptance letters from the Army Adjutant General,” said Theresa Brinkerhoff, a spokeswoman for the academy. She said West Point has no records that indicate Carson even began the application process. “If he chose to pursue (the application process) then we would have records indicating such,” she said.

When presented with this evidence, Carson’s campaign conceded the story was false.

In May of his senior year, he was chosen to march in the city’s Memorial Day parade.
“I felt so proud, my chest bursting with ribbons and braids of every kind. To make it more wonderful, we had important visitors that day. Two soldiers who had won the Congressional Medal of Honor in Viet Nam were present,” he wrote. “More exciting to me, General William Westmoreland (very prominent in the Viet Nam war) attended with an impressive entourage. Afterward, Sgt. Hunt” - his high school ROTC director - “introduced me to General Westmoreland, and I had dinner with him and the Congressional Medal winners. Later I was offered a full scholarship to West Point.”
But, according to records of Westmoreland’s schedule that were provided by the U.S. Army, the general did not visit Detroit around Memorial Day in 1969 or have dinner with Carson. In fact, the general’s records suggest he was in Washington that day and played tennis at 6:45 p.m.

There are and remain serious issues with the route selected for Keystone XL (which is Phase IV, and meant to parallel Phase I (already built). The route for Phase IV has potential to damage key aquifers and sensitive lands. And it’s not like the oil isn’t already coming to the US by pipeline in this region; it’s going through the already existing pipelines.

Though when you look closer at those other pipelines, you see issues with leaks, and it’s impossible to believe that the new pipeline wouldn’t eventually leak either.

re: #160 Eclectic Cyborg

I unfortunately have recent experience with both Victor’s mouse and rat traps.
Set properly and baited enticingly I find them reliable and superior to the glue traps, poison, and even our old house cat.

The glue traps torture the critters till you dispatch them, and sometimes they break a leg or tear their skin trying to escape, increasing their suffering.

I do not like poison due to the unintended bi-kill but we had a smart rat get in our crawl space so I tried one judiciously and could not get it to take it.
Finally got it with a Victor.

Our old cat is fat and has taken mice on occasion, but other times just played with or ignored them.

The Victors with the big yellow, plastic bait paddles cost a little more and seem to work better.
When you hook the retaining wire on the paddle to set it you can position it to one side for normal sensitivity or the other for hair trigger.
On hair trigger it can be tricky to set down without it snapping on your finger (the big rat traps can leave a nasty bruise).

You still want to smear some bait on the paddle, and I have had success with cheese and peanut butter.
Ants will consume the peanut butter within a day or two; cheddar cheese lasts longer but goes oily and kinda stale after a while.

Try to place along walls or their tracks so that they do not approach the bait over the spring side.
Otherwise your target may survive and learn, or you may find it trapped but still alive.

I have created restrictions to direct their path or placed in the trap in a small box to assure proper alignment for the kill bar over their neck for a clean, quick kill.

Rats seem smarter than mice and you may have to experiment with baits and placements.
And if you have trouble enticing them I have left traps baited but un-set for a time to get them comfortable and feeding on it.
Then one night set the trap and you will often find the pest in the morning.

Good luck controlling the vermin.

I think what has happen is this weeks revelations have opened a cut and he is bleeding. Now that the media has the cut open, they will be in it like a bad infection and they will now be going over everything he has said over his lifetime.

With the way he is reacting to it just ups the game, They know they have him hurt and backtracking.

We may be seeing the end of Ben Carson. And it won’t take any left leaning media to do it.

Next up for him is his buddy TRUMP® and the rest of the pack going after him. And how can he put down all of them when they are all as crazy as he is. Ben is in jam and I don’t think he has the ability to get out of it other than to start a downward spiral of more lies and bullshit.

Pass the popcorn…and fill the glasses. The Egyptian plane crash isn’t the only crash disaster in the news.

With unemployment down to 5% and 271,000 jobs added last month, the GOP clown car are laughable with their attempts to spin KeyStoneXL as a needed job producer.

That will produce only a handful of actual permanent jobs. Once finished, it will require only a handful of jobs to maintain.

Goes back to what I said above- his followers wont care what comes about about Carson. They’ll follow him regardless of how much BS he’s bloviating.

That’s why this might actually cause his polling to rise.

For everyone else, it’s yet another sign he lacks the character and judgment to be president.

For the detail, everyone at West Point is on ‘full scholarship’. In fact they pay you, because cadets are Army personnel. IIRC the pay is that of an E5, the lowest sergeant.

The whole story is BS, and Westmoreland was a pimp.

I think the market doesn’t like solid jobs reports, especially as time goes by, because we are getting into the stage of recovery where applicants can demand better wages because the supply/demand is more towards their side.

The stock market operates within its own set of rules - pressures on profits are seen as bad. Job gains can result in pressure on profits since it signals to the Fed to increase interest rates, which would increase borrowing costs, reducing profits. So, good news for most folks is taken as bad news on the Street.

Same thing with wage growth. Wage growth is good for everyone but those on the Street, who see it as eating into profits (except that if more people have better wages, they can spend more of it, priming the economy - if inflation remains under control). Inflation is currently not an issue, so the market treats job/wage pressure as a bad thing.

And I say, “Hey, Lama, hey, how about a little something, you know, for the effort, you know.” And he says, “Oh, uh, there won’t be any money, but when you die, on your deathbed, you will receive total consiousness.” So I got that goin’ for me, which is nice.

Minnesota woman smashes Muslim in face with beer mug for speaking Swahili at Applebee’s

A Ramsey woman is facing assault charges after she reportedly attacked another woman at an Applebee’s in Coon Rapids, Minn. for speaking in a foreign language.1

“I was sitting turned around like this and all of a sudden I feel something thrown on my face. Boom! My cousin started screaming and everyone wanted to run away,” Asma Jama, assaulted at Applebee’s, said.5

Jodie Marie Burchard-Risch, 43, of Ramsey and her husband were eating at the Applebee’s at 129th Street NW on Oct. 30, according to the criminal complaint. Witnesses say the pair was upset that the victim, who was sitting in a booth next to them, was speaking in a foreign language.

I think it is just getting going. You can tell by reading through this thread (which I am stupid enough to have done…as fast as it is flying) the tone changed a few hours ago.

Ben Shapiro is coming to grips with the “L-word” (liar), FOX news has called him a liar. That is just a signal to me that it has been decided that Carson is now open to be attacked by the establishment GOP. So, over the weekend there will be GOP people on all the talk shows saying they don’t see how Ben can get past there “tale tales” as oit doesn’t make him “look presidential” and stuff like that.

Some will be all fire and brimstone about how Carson has to go, others, like Cruz and Jindal will just soften it by saying the media is hurting a good man, but it might be best for him to step out of the race.

It will all be geared to get one of the non-GOP politicians out of the race. That is politics in 2015.
