Ben Carson had zero concept of anything related to politics. I don't even think he could locate the US on a map of the world. The guy is not qualified to serve in office...

Remember this fun quote?

Retired neurosurgeon Ben Carson originally had his eyes on the Oval Office, running against Donald Trump in the Republican primary. After that failed to pan out, Carson came on as a close Trump ally and appeared to be in a position to get his pick of an office in the incoming administration. Nevertheless, Carson reportedly won't be joining the new administration, his close friend Armstrong Williams told The Hill.

"Dr. Carson feels he has no government experience, he's never run a federal agency," Williams said. "The last thing he would want to do was take a position that could cripple the presidency."

Liberals can't stand Ben Carson because he actually thinks for himself and doesn't buy into the liberal narrative. Even after decades worth of evidence in cities like Detroit or Chicago, the left is still immensely deluded and genuinely believes that their policies are actually helping black people. Thus, they feel that black people owe them their allegiance and feel betrayed and furious when someone like Ben Carson comes along who is too smart for them and sees through all their bullshit.

Ben Carson is a brilliant man. Unlike the vast majority of people, it takes very little effort for him to think great thoughts and solve difficult problems. That's why he always looks so relaxed. Basically everything is easy mode to him.

It's fine to recognize Ben Carson as a successful, talented neurosurgeon.

But he does not belong in politics and the fact that he was appointed an office in government is not something to be praised. If you think otherwise, you must have slept through all of his speeches and "performances" at the debates. He has no grasp of economic, domestic, foreign, diplomatic, defense, or... any policy whatsoever. That is not a person you want in your government.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ben_Carson

He was the Director of Pediatric Neurosurgery at Johns Hopkins Hospital in Maryland from 1984 until his retirement in 2013. As a pioneer in neurosurgery, Carson's achievements include performing the only successful separation of conjoined twins joined at the back of the head, pioneering the first successful neurosurgical procedure on a fetus inside the womb, performing the first completely successful separation of type-2 vertical craniopagus twins, developing new methods to treat brain-stem tumors, and reviving hemispherectomy techniques for controlling seizures.[3][4][5] He became the youngest chief of pediatric neurosurgery in the country at age 33.[6] He has received more than 60 honorary doctorate degrees, dozens of national merit citations, and written over 100 neurosurgical publications.[7] In 2008, he was bestowed the Presidential Medal of Freedom, the highest civilian award in the United States.[8]


It would be extremely rare to find someone with a more impressive resume than Ben Carson. The man is highly intelligent and is more than qualified to work for the government.

We're supposed to be a government by the people. Someone like Ben Carson is exactly who we want - a brilliant man who has achieved a high level of success and now wants to serve his country. I'll take a genius who can easily learn what he needs to on the job over another lifelong bureaucrat who's "experienced and qualified" because they've spent decades bumbling around from one government job to the next wasting our fucking tax dollars.

As of now I disagree.

All of the quoted text pertains to surgery and operations. None of it pertains at all to anything politically oriented, like, at all. I would feel more comfortable with certain high schoolers than with Ben Carson being involved in government.
