Here is a copy of the map that Dr. Ben Carson’s presidential campaign shared recently on Facebook in an effort to show how America’s governors are standing up and saying no to Syrian refugees.
However, upon close inspection you’ll notice that the good doctor and his campaign specialists know very little about what America looks like…at least on a map!
Five New England states are in the wrong location, and where’s Connecticut???
And what’s that crazy blue state shaped like a gun next to New York?
And get a load of all that great beach front north of NYC!
Massachusetts borders Canada! They can see Sarah Palin’s house now!
What’s Maine doing up around the North Pole!
And Maryland’s got a new crab claw! Sorry Virginia!
Who is this Dr. Carson anyway? A brain surgeon?!
I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again. If you are an idiot you should not be allowed to run for the Presidency of the United States. We have tests and standards that students must pass and demonstrate before they can graduate high school.
But we have no test to determine whether or not our politicians are qualified or intelligent enough to run and manage one of the largest countries in the world, with over 300 million citizens and trillions and trillions of dollars in bills and expenditures.
Our only qualifications are: Citizenship, age and immense access to great wealth…period.
Here’s a thought. Let’s send Dr. Carson and his campaign aides to wherever the refugees are so they can lead them to their promised land. God knows where they’ll end up… but I doubt they’ll be able to find the United States.
Bizarre! Also bizarre, I think, is how many states are refusing to take refugees. What happened to “Give me your tired, your poor/Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free”, …
I find him creepy. Can you imagine him being your doctor?
