Sperm bank, you were the ignorant fucktard bringing up Hillary to defend Carson. Where did you see where I mentioned the Politico article? Fucking dick drainer hankering. Originally Posted by i'va biggen

I've said all along if you show me some dirt on hillary, she should be put away. I haven't seen it yet. Did she lie about the video? yes. Do I give a shit? No. The damage was already done. What is the point. Originally Posted by WombRaider

I can give Carson a pass on some of his recollections of a childhood. The West Point thing has some truth to it, but through the years has been embellished. Sure, he could have gotten in to West Point. They would have loved to have had him. But he chose another path.

All that being said, I think he is living in some type of religious fantasy world when he comes up with asinine statements such as his theory on the Pyramids at Giza.

He is entitled to his beliefs. But, he is not entitled to his own facts.

I simply cannot support a man for President who believes this sort of stuff.

By the way, the Pyramids of Giza were constructed in what is known as Egypts "Old Kingdom" period, some 2600 to 2100 years BC. Joseph, if he did indeed actually live, would have been Alive during the Middle Kingdom's later period.

Carson is off about 1000 years or so in his time table.

It is a question of semantics for the most part. Which is something that libs like usually. Carson says that Westmoreland offered him a slot at West Point which no one, not West Point disputes is possible. Could Westmoreland really make it happen or was he just blowing smoke? That is up to West Point but takes nothing away from Carson if Westmoreland could not do what he said. The semanitics come with the phrase Carson uses "full ride scholarship". West Point does not offer "full ride scholarships" to be very precise. However, if you go to West Point then you have what would be considered a "full ride scholarship" in any university in the country. So if you didn't go to West Point or were not involved in the minutia then you could very well, and very likely, mischaracterize a West Point appointment with a "full ride scholarship". I could ask my cousin but it is hard to figure out where he is at the moment. He got a "full ride scholarship" to West Point back under Reagan.

So the take away is that Politico got ahead of the facts and made themselves look like fools. Nazi Baby Killer did the same.
Most of the time the people at Politico are just Dim shills.

the grain in the pyramid thing is easily explained

and its not near as dumb as Obama's 57 states or corpsman, errors that the worlds smartest man should never make

in the bible it is related that joseph had a dream concerning lean and fat years and advised the pharaoh to store up grain; later, much later, the Hebrews were pressed into slavery and used for construction projects, some of which could be work on pyramids.

it was a simple error not thinking and conflating the two things, grain and construction projects

its only rabid destroyers who press things like this out of all proportion for political sake Originally Posted by nevergaveitathought
Except the Egyptians kept good historical records and we KNOW why the pyramids were built, you ignorant fucktard. It wasn't a simple error. He's a religious nutbag who believes a 2K year-old book holds the secrets of the universe.
Wonder why they never challenged the assertion that the call to Muslim prayer was the most beautiful sound in the world. You'd think that would be some kind of red flag. Originally Posted by JD Barleycorn
Why, if you think something is beautiful, do you have to be a follower of it? You are a fucking simpleton of the highest magnitude.

It's a very interesting example of compartmentalization when someone who is obviously intelligent can be duped by their own brain into believing something so preposterous as a virgin birth or grain pyramids.
