Ben Carson: ‘The Lord’ told me to call for flat tax

Ben Carson Copied All God’s Answers On His College Chemistry Final

Know all that stuff about how presidential candidate Ben Carson is the Best Neurosurgeon Ever, and how he did the first successful operation to separate twins conjoined at the head? Well, he never would have done that if he hadn’t cheated OFF OUR LORD AND SAVIOR JESUS during one of his chemistry finals. Oh yeah. He’s that kinda guy.

Carson admitted all of this at the National Day Of Prayer gathering Thursday, regaling the crowd with a tale about how, when he was at Yale, he thought he was “pretty hot stuff,” but then everything went wrong with this one chemistry final:

“My grades were so bad that even if I had gotten an ‘A’ on the final, I still would have failed. That’s how bad it was. But the professor was either very compassionate or very sadistic, I’m not sure which one, because he had a rule, he said, ‘anybody who’s failing, I’ll give them double credit on their final’ … so there I was, night before, thinking about my life, I said ‘Lord, medicine is the only thing I ever wanted to do. I always thought that’s what you wanted for me, and yet, it looks like I’m going to fail chemistry, I’m not gonna go to medical school.'”​

So Carson asked the Lord for a miracle, and he decided to stay up all night studying, right up until the point where he fell asleep. And wouldn’t you know it, there God was, in his dream, giving him all the answers to the test!

“Dreamed I was in this large auditorium, just me and a nebulous figure working out chemistry problems [Ed: The Christ, the One the prophets foretold???], and I awakened early that morning and that dream was so vivid in my mind. I picked up my book, I started looking up the stuff that I dreamed about, and when I went to take the test the next morning it was like The Twilight Zone! I opened that book and I recognized the first problem, it was one of the ones I dreamed about! And the next and the next and the next, and I aced the exam! And you know, got a good mark in chemistry!”​

Carson closes by saying that he “promised the Lord He would never have to do that for me again.” Which, you know, is good, because the Bible is very specific about how frequently God is willing to answer those sorts of prayers.

Rain Man Carson. He can do brain surgery but can't wipe his own ass.

 

[ScienceRocks]

But hey, he wants to take away some other boys food and education. He dreams of those things only being for the rich.

Oh'did I say that boy will be paying taxes on his tiny bit of savings and will likely be on the street.

Carson is a lunatic and will never get more than 30% against clinton.

Former neurosurgeon Ben Carson on Thursday explained that he had been following God’s instructions when he shocked many people by calling for a flat tax at a non-partisan prayer breakfast with President Barack Obama last year.

During a 27-minute rant just feet away from the president at the National Prayer Breakfast, Carson had explained that Biblical “tithing” would make a better tax system. Fox News quickly heaped praise on Carson, while other conservative outlets like The Wall Street Journal and World Net Daily called for a presidential bid.

According to the Old Testament, Israelites were required by Mosaic law to support the priesthood by giving 10 percent of their land and livestock as a tithe, which is definedas a tenth of a person’s income. Many Christians today have interpreted this to mean that they must give a flat 10 percent of their income to the church.

The so-called “flat tax,” however, is generally considered to be regressive because it impacts poor people more than the rich.

And although the plan is almost exclusively supported by conservatives, Carson told CBN’s Pat Robertson on Wednesday that “the Lord” told him to push for it at the non-partisan prayer breakfast.

“I realized that God probably had something special he wanted me to say,” Carson explained. “But I didn’t know what it was until the morning of the prayer breakfast.”

“After a while of wrestling with it, I just said, I’m leaving it alone, the Lord will tell me what to say,” he continued. “And that morning, it was so clear in my mind what I was supposed to say.”

I find this very troubling coming from a presidential candidate. I don't want a president who hears imaginary voices.

Ben, I think your mistaken....it was the porn you were listening to and it said, go call for a fat ass, fat ass, not flat tax.

Created every resource in the universe. Created your mind. Gave you breath. Gave you your skill. Lots more.

Humble yourself.

He should go back to saving lives. Politics is an evil business.

No wonder you guys support Hillary and Obama.

No wonder republicans support it.

Wow. You really are scared.

No wonder you guys support Hillary and Obama.

Both of whom support a woman's right to privacy in accordance with the Constitution, both of whom support the due process and equal protection rights of gay Americans in accordance with the Constitution, and both of whom acknowledge and respect Establishment Clause jurisprudence, the Framers' mandate that church and state remain separate, in accordance with the Constitution.

As opposed to the republican politicians most on the social right and Christian conservatives support – politicians opposed to the privacy rights of women, in violation of the Constitution; republicans who seek to increase the size and authority of government at the expense of individual liberty, republicans opposed to the due process and equal protection rights of gay Americans in violation of the Constitution, and republicans opposed to settled, accepted Establishment Clause jurisprudence, who seek to conjoin church and state in violation of the Constitution and the mandate of the Framers.

Given the contempt most on the social right and Christian conservatives have for the Constitution, its case law, the rule of law, and the rights of individuals, it's no wonder you guys support the likes of Trump and Carson.

Ben Carson is a nice guy who has a very limited understanding of economics. Sure, let's have a flat tax for an income tax, and let's keep a cap on Social Security taxes, and then let's not get rid of sales and property taxes, or any of the other little taxes Americans pay. The rich would love that, and everyone else would get screwed. The problem with those who support flat taxes and fair taxes are that they really do not understand how the economy works and how detrimental those tax systems would be. As much as I think Trump is a racist and a loon, at least he understands that progressive taxation is not a bad thing.

 

[BULLDOG]

I guess that's just more proof that God likes to mess with republicans. Every time an election is near he individually tells a bunch of them that he wants them to be president, and then sits back and laughs while each of them make fools of themselves thinking God is on their side.

 

[tigerred59]

LOLOLOLOL....he reminds me of Clarence Uncle Thomas....who called for the abolishment of Affirmative Action...the same law that got his black ass where he's at today. Gotta love nigga's who want to burn the bridge that got them across the waters of hell!!

You just summed up the GOP...they know how to get elected, but they don't have a clue on how to govern or how the government works.

I am sure Benny Carson is popular in the Bible belt or as I think of it "the Buy Bull" belt
