This whole government shutdown slash Obamacare thing sure has given the GOPers a lot to talk outloud about lately. Ted Cruz gathered "thousands" of vets for a "million" vet march to make speeches about the government shutdown Ted Cruz caused. Louie Gohmert
I wondered if there&#039;d be an perfect opportunity to post <a href="http:\/\/images.nymag.com\/images\/2\/daily\/2013\/10\/14-obamacare-restaurant-sign_560x375.jpg" target="_blank"> this. </a> And of course, there was.
&quot;Dr. Ben Carson, an African-American neurosurgeon and Fox News contributor, literally called Obamacare...&quot;
&quot;Litterally?&quot; What wordsmith wrote that - Miss South Carolina? Duh Gov&#039;? What the hell is &quot;literally&quot; doing there? Also.
As I have said before, a good surgeon (even a brain surgeon) is more like a good quarterback than like a good scientist. Reflexes and eye-hand coordination are crucial for surgeons. Reasoning power is useful, but not essential.
My guess would be that it&#039;s a little like the situation with Clarence Thomas. In my theory, Dr. Carson&#039;s subconscious is worried that he is not properly credited with brilliance because of his ethnicity (a mistake by his subconscious -- by all accounts the dude was a fantastic surgeon). So he aligns himself with the racists, because if they accept him, he must be better than okay.
I will repeat my analogy of top surgeons to NFL quarterbacks. In both jobs, what is most important is great reflexes and hand-eye coordination, and fast decision-making. A good memory is useful. What aren&#039;t particularly useful are introspection, long-term planning, or a love of abstract thought.
&quot;Primum non nocere&quot; is the ancient rule taught to every medical student. &quot;First, do no harm.&quot;
Also known (to medical malpractice attorneys in particular) as &quot;Non-maleficence.&quot;
Not a concept fully grasped by the right wing nutz.
On &quot;steroids.&quot;

According to many christian apologists, Hebrew slavery was not like Southern slavery, because God told them how to own people the right way.
I think Doc Ben has destroyed the &quot;You don&#039;t have to be a neurosurgeon to know...&quot; meme.
An almost fanatical devotion to the Pope?
You know <i>who else</i> is the new Hitler?

This here.
I have to admit, it was cool being a Packer fan before FA, but it was a terrible way to run a business.
At least you weren&#039;t subjected to traffic-stop slavery.

Apparently he&#039;s never met a dog-whistle so absurd he couldn&#039;t repeat it.
They forgot to put &quot;Meals&quot; in the middle, though.
Comparisons to slavery is the new Godwin&#039;s Law.
Wingnuts are extremely good at finding imaginary threats to be afraid of than real ones.
