Ben Carson works at the white house, he's a neurosurgeon. He has crazy politics but it's hard to say he's an idiot.
I've never got the obsession with calling the other political side idiots (right now there is some conservative forum calling all of you idiots), its not backed up by any data, and it seems counter productive, short sighted and childish.
Not to mention that hating someone for being an idiot makes no sense. People can't control their intelligence, so when people hate idiots they really seem like awful people to me.

What does Ben Carson think the pyramids in Egypt were for?

Clever enough to do surgery, looney tunes enough to think the pyramids were places to tether one's spaceship.

Let's summarize the "wall" issue. This is how I understand it and please correct me if I'm wrong: nobody wants people going over the border unchecked anywhere in the world, hence passports, borders and border patrols, visas etc. Obama also didn't want people illegally passing by and that's why there was like $3 billion invested annually in detention centers and Obama deported many people, actually more than any other president and hence he got a nickname Deporter in Chief.
Then comes Trump. He claims there is no supervision what so ever on Mexican border and that useless and extremely expensive wall needs to be built. As it is expensive people bring this issue to Trump during the campaign and he says that "Mexico will pay for it" to which all normal people call on Trump that he is lying to which his supporters then channel to him and he says that he has a plan to make Mexico pay for it since he is a businessman. Normal people insist that he is full of shit but his supporters believe him and he wins the election because of the wall and some other things.
Now that it turns out that Trump is indeed full of shit and he can't make Mexico pay for it, his supporters and him, instead of admitting that Trump is a liar, start blaming whole thing on democrats that they don't want any supervision on the border and that they actually want millions of Mexicans to enter illegally to bring in drugs, vote for Hillary (or any democrat that will run against Donald), bring down Christianity and put Satan in charge of the world.
Now why they believe Donald that there is no supervision on the border? I'm not sure. Maybe because these conservatives believe Trump more because he is white.
Of course Trump wants to renegotiation NAFTA and to be honest I did hear that NAFTA hauled many Mexicans to US looking for jobs since NAFTA has devastated local communities and the Mexican corn industry. But that's another topic.
teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"

Trump is the bigger douchebag, and on equal level of idiocy with his supporters.

yeah who needs taxes? Taxes are for idiots. I mean when politicians are payed by lobbyists anyway and teachers... well schools will get privatized, that's why we have Betsy and who really needs school? Bible is enough, you have answers to everything there. Especially since schools teach such rubbish there like biological evolution, but until then:
Quote:USA Today: Teachers are striking all over.
Teachers across the country are striking and protesting en masse, shutting down school systems and putting the pressure on state lawmakers to meet their demands.
At least four states this year have mobilized, often with similar gripes. Educators in West Virginia and Oklahoma are lobbying for more pay while Kentucky's teachers are fighting proposed changes to their pensions plans. West Virginia teachers forced lawmakers to give them 5% raises.
But Oklahoma found a solution:
Quote:Oklahoma's teachers plan to stage a walkout Monday, CNN reports, just days after Gov. Mary Fallin approved a $6,100 average pay raise.
The raise, Time reports, amounts to a 16% bump and was paid for by raising taxes on cigarettes, fuel and lodging. Fallin called it "the largest teacher pay raise in the history of the state."

Ah, who buys fuel, just don't touch Tim Cook's or Jeff Bezos' money.

Seems pretty simple. If the other side is idiots. Then our side is the not idiots. Which means I is not a idiot! Works really well for Atheism/Religion as well.
