[QUOTE=sgman91;46638023]*Note that he didn't say that Obamacare is equal to slavery, or that it is even comparable to the evil of slavery. He says it's the worst thing "since slavery."[/QUOTE] There are a hundred things that the US has done since slavery that are way worse than Obamacare. If you thing Obamacare is worse than Japanese Internment Camps, you're a fucking idiot.
So Obamacare is literally worse than 9/11? World War 1? 2? The Dust bowl? Japanese internment camps? The recession? AIDS? I've read a lot of things written by Dr. Ben Carson, and I can confidently say he is intelligent enough to know these things are worse than Obamacare. Hating Obamacare doesn't go against my beliefs either, I'm very poor, and as I understand it I'm going to get fined if I don't pay more than two hundred dollars a month for insurance I can't use because of a thousand dollar deductible. Roasting marshmallows with my life savings is more fiscally responsible than getting Obamacare. I'm not pissed because he's Republican, he's always been Republican. This is off topic, but I'm also not pissed because he's super religious, so religious to the point that at times he sounds like he's a little crazy, he's always been that way and it never made his points any less true. This is not a quirk or a difference of opinion, since his [URL="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KpiryahOspY"]speech[/URL] in 2013 his whole tune has changed and I've lost respect for him.

I just think it's odd to assume that he's a sellout instead of taking him at his words.
[QUOTE=N.A.N.B;46635877]Just cause you're smart academically doesn't mean you're smart practically.[/QUOTE] That's a pretty bold statement to make. Especially considering he succeeded in both practice and academically.
[QUOTE=Doom64hunter;46638332]That's a pretty bold statement to make. Especially considering he succeeded in both practice and academically.[/QUOTE] But you can't disgree with that statement. Just because you're a brain surgeon doesn't mean we're Nazi Germany.

Actually really interesting and fair.
[QUOTE=Silence I Kill You;46635779]He was the first person to successfully separate conjoined twins who were joined at the head. He is very highly educated. But "LOL CONSERVATIVES ARE ALL STUPID!" Amirite?[/QUOTE] [QUOTE=N.A.N.B;46635877]He literally believes that the US is similar, in any way, to [I]Nazi Germany[/I]. It's fairly safe to say that he's a dipshit. Just cause you're smart academically doesn't mean you're smart practically.[/QUOTE] its interesting how no one considers the possibility that he may be smart and still be a dipshit, its not like they're mutually exclusive.
