lets talk about 2016 presidential candidate Dr. Ben Carson

[Kid McNamara]

He's an actual c00n. He may be brilliant in his craft, but he panders for White support, and hides it under a thin veil of "traditionalism."
He's conservative and believes in bootstraps, because he was 1 in 1,000,000, he is anti-affirmative action, seems to have no concept of the right actions for foreign policy, is anti-women's rights, would make it harder for marijuana legalization and immigration reform, and thinks Christianity should be a pillar of the government.
he's been ripped apart quite a few times in Higher Learning already.

Expand on this please. Why shouldn't he believe in bootstraps.

Then you shouldn't vote Democrat either

You shouldn't vote at all

 

[pimpineasy]

You're on crack. I'd rather have a black puppet than a white puppet

Then you are being racist if your criteria for choosing someone is skin color. By that logic u can't knock racist white people.
On another topic obamacare was about 2 things eliminating people being refused insurance due to preexisting conditions and lowering cost due to an increased pool of people.

You clearly don't know the definition of racism.

Healthcare is still a private business you fukking idiot.

^^^no where in the QUOTE u quoted me said it wasn't a private business...

Obamacare did none of those things you just regurgitating misinformation

^^^ok - well I'm not debating on things that I have first hand experience with through LIFE rather than read articles spun to whatever "side" your on...

I told you what Dr's I know say about the law. Sorry it's on the wrong "side".

The reason there are so many Republicans running is because they were inspired by Obama's stunningly breathtaking political storm that was 2008. They won't say it publicly though.

A lot of good candidates are actually running for veepeee. But yeah a lot of them were inspired by Obama coming out.of nowhere and upsetting Clinton. A lot of people don't appreciate how large an upset that was. Much less to go on and win the presidential. I think history will be extremely kind to Obama's record except on foreign policy. He will get a barely passing grade there.
Separate note I'm glad he ended Cuba embargo

K then define it here. My working definition is

prejudice, discrimination, or antagonism directed against someone of a different race based on the belief that one's own race is superior.

I dont see why healthcare should be a private business. Its not a private business in the rest of the world and people having access to prevenative healthcare and living healthy is a positive economic and public policy outcome.

Why should national defense be run by the gov for free? Why dont we all pay cash along with our tax dollars? Americans already pay way more per capita for healthcare in tax dollars than any other country, including some that garuntee free healthcare

In my opinion by having the field private it allows us to have the best DR'S and resources in the world. There's a reason our healthcare is far above and beyond any other country.

Look at Canada - people I've talked to personally and met all say that if they ever need any procedure or serious testing done they will try to come to America for it. I don't want to live like that...

Right but then you can't have it both ways. Them you have to be.willing.to go full hog and deny healthcare to any and everyone who cannot afford it. You are willing to treat healthcare as a service where only rich or those without a preexisting condition are able to get help strikes many as inhumane. As an economist I love to debate this. But no matter what the system previous.to aca was highly inefficient that both parties agreed need reforming.

Exactly, I said "I'd rather have a black puppet than a white puppet". Where do you see a declaration of superiority?

Well, you were clearly arguing that the healthcare industry should be a private business with profit margins. Why would you argue that the sky should be blue if it's already fukking blue?

Thats actually a common misconception about the Canadian healthcare system. I am actually Canadian and conversely have never met anyone who went to America for a procedure or testing. Also while America has the highest quality healthcare, it is restricted to the private hospitals which most people will never afford to get treatment at.

Statistically, America has some of the worst healthcare outcomes. Worse than Cuba and Costa Rica. Ouch.

He is a fundamental christian which is akin to having a mental disorder. Then add on the fact that he is trying to get white republicans on his side. He has to out bigot the average racist white man or woman to get any attention
