Egomaniac Ben Carson Says He’s The Only Candidate Who Can Prevent The ‘End Times’

Not The Onion!

http://www.addictinginfo.org/2015/10/13/egomaniac-ben-carson-says-hes-the-only-candidate-who-can-prevent-the-end-times/

Dr. Ben Carson has always muttered crazy things. Normally, and in the age of Trump, this would’ve propelled him to frontrunner status months ago. So, why is he only recently seeing a spike in his polling? The answer is obvious: as of a week or two ago, Carson simply started muttered more crazy things, more often....

To be fair, at least he said he’d try to stop the, you know, Armageddon. That’s something. But think about it: Ben Carson believes he can stop the End Times. He can prevent the end of the world and the second coming of Christ. He said this. Ben Carson thinks he’s more powerful than God.

The very fact that he seriously believes it’s just around the corner should be a gigantic red flag to anyone with a brain in their head — and that includes deeply religious people who happen to understand that the book of Revelations was metaphor and coded language penned by proto-Christians in hiding from persecution.

By the way, it’s worth noting that quite a few Republicans also happen to be Christian Dominionists who believe the End Times will begin in the Middle East, specifically Israel. The last thing we need is a president who dabbles in such horseshit.

No wonder the batshit crazy religious far right love him so much.

That kind of explains why he quit medicine suddenly and started his religious crusade to establish theocracy, which is basically what his candidacy means. I always wondered what happened to the man and now it's beginning to look like a psychotic break. Really.

Hard to say who the theocrats will pick for their candidate. One thing that I am sure of - I do not want to live in a totalitarian religious theocracy.

He's such a sleazy character you can't ever be sure. Carson, on the other hand, is sincere in his insanity.

bullshit should be fitted for one of those stylish wraparound jackets and get a massive dose of some powerful anti-psychotic. Every hour on the hour. In the form of a horse-sized suppository.

It's becoming scary to think of the top of the Republican party and the number of total nitwits who will vote for them.

5. That the corporate media never mentions the extremist Christian ideology of these megalomaniacs

is yet another example of their criminal negligence.

The Isane Religion demographic is unfortunately large enough in backwoods America that you know someone is going to pander to it....that it would be a neurosurgeon versus a Harvard Law fighting over these children tells me how vile they both are.

receives for making inane comments, and he's following suit. The Republican candidates who make the most idiotic, inane, and offensive comments are in double digits; the rest are in single digits.

Speaks volumes.

10. Sorry Ben. There are a lot of idiots in this country, but most of them aren't that bat-shit crazy.
