Ben Carson and Klingon Jesus: A Portrait —

Ben Carson's house: an homage to himself – in pictures
The decor at Ben Carson’s home in Maryland shows that Donald Trump may not have the biggest ego among the Republican candidates. On display are awards, certificates, medals, and a painting of himself with Jesus

I don't have the ability to post pics here but you do a great job of it. There is a pic floating around on Facebook and elsewhere of Dr. Ben with Stonehenge behind him "I believe this is a dog petting park built by God after the flood"
Or something like that. If you could find that it would be great.

12. I literally laughed out loud at that

When I first saw it

[Contrary1]

7. Here ya go...

Ben should have been a comedian. He's a natural.

[underpants]

11. Thanks

If you could post that on its own I think a lot of people will get a kick out of it

[Blue_In_AK]

23. I love these.

They sort of write themselves, don't they?

[Snarkoleptic]

5. I like the Bible quote from poverbs (sic) 22:4

This is carved in marble above the fireplace, misspelling and all.

8. Oh my gosh..."Proverbs" is mis-chiseled!

[Snarkoleptic]

10. Mrs. Snark is an editor and she pointed out to me

that the P should have been capitalized. So much fail in that thing.
I suspect he signed off on the text before production, so there was no recourse.

[gollygee]

17. Maybe he means "poe-verbs" like "pondered" and "quoth" n/t

[Snarkoleptic]

20. Quote the ravin' (lunatic) nevermore.

lolz

[Heeeeers Johnny]

9. Can we be certain that's Ben Carson in the painting?

Looks more like Marvin Gaye to me.

[MisterP]

15. it's getting stronger and strongeeeeeeeeeeeeer

[Tom_Foolery]

13. I thought that was Billy Ocean instead of Ben Carson...

[spanone]

14. the billies...billy ocean and billy ray cyrus....!

[nomorenomore08]

34. The resemblance is quite striking indeed...

And you just gave me an excuse to post this video...

[Tom_Foolery]

36. And now I have the excuse to post this one...

[pansypoo53219]

16. more like gay porn jeebus.

[hifiguy]

18. Mother of Dog.

No words.

19. .

[nomorenomore08]

32. ...

Truly takes my breath away... Because I'm laughing so fucking hard...

[Blue_In_AK]

21. What big hands you have, Jesus.

[saltpoint]

26. - - - -

[Hepburn]

22. What's with the terrycloth bathrobe?

Like Carson and Jesus are hanging out at a spa??? Beyond weird.

[cannabis_flower]

35. Actually..

Ben Carson appears to have a white doctor's coat on, see the lapel. Jesus has on a white robe though, which is how he is usually depicted. However, it is still weird to have a picture of yourself with Jesus.

[Hepburn]

38. Carson is just plain weird...

...I am thinking that he really believes the shit he puts out and on some level really thinks that he has palled around with Jesus.

IMO, he's not playing with a full deck.

[Monk06]

24. Nickleback Jesus says, "Carson for President."

"Am I right? Am I right?"

[Monk06]

25. Steven Harper was our Carson exept we weren't told about it since the CBC was scared shitless

of the Harpster until after he was gone

Here's some more weirdness on the Nickelback theme. Kroeger is from Abbotsford which means he's probably a Christian rocker. That would explain the suck

[COLGATE4]

27. Love the 'Paint by Numbers' picture.

Technique needs a little more brushing up, though...

[Gothmog]

28. That picture is disturbing

[Liberal_in_LA]

29. Carson has a wife and three kids. Any pics of them in the house?

The answer to that question would tell me if he is a nut. If there are portraits of other family members on the walls, I give him a pass on his shrine

[smirkymonkey]

41. I had no idea. He really is a narcissist. I thought he was single.

No mention of his family whatsoever.

[Liberal_in_LA]

44. Pics.. wife, married since 1975, 3 kids

?w=640

[Rex]

30. Why does Jesus have on a Spa terry? Carson looks like he might be on Miami Vice.

It's like when they got to Jesus's face, time was short so they hurried.

[FSogol]

31. Is Jesus wearing a belt buckle?

I can't tell.

[nomorenomore08]

33. I don't think even MJ was hubristic enough to have himself painted with Jesus... n/t

[L. Coyote]

37. That's not Jesus. I think I recognize that guy from his West Point class picture.

I am fairly certain the brain trust here at Dale E Kos, LLC can generate some fine entries into this new political reference.

Ben Carson thinks media scrutiny of his lies is worse than birtherism
By Laura Clawson - Monday Nov 09, 2015 · 7:04 AM PST

Ben Carson is either a giant liar or uniquely persecuted. Guess which version Carson is pushing. As his stories about himself, told in his book Gifted Hands and many speeches over the years, have come under scrutiny in recent days and several have failed to hold up, Carson isn’t trying to produce evidence his stories were true. He’s just saying the media is being mean to him as they’ve been mean to no one else ever.

Yes, he has been asked if what he’s facing is worse than birtherism, and Carson’s answer was yes. Carson told Meet the Press’ Chris Jansing that:

I have always said that I expect to be vetted. But being vetted and what is going on with me, "You said this 30 years ago, you said this 20 years ago, this didn't exist, this didn't." You know, I just, I have not seen that with anyone else. Or if you can show me where that's happened with someone else, I will take that statement back.

Jansing, obviously, came back with “Bill Clinton or the president with his birth certificate.” Carson’s response: “No, not like this” and “Not even close.” ............

Of course, Ben Carson does not perceive himself as ridiculous in his current assumed role and does not say things he perceives as ridiculous. Clinton and Obama do not have a history of being ridiculous. So, is ridicule in politics politically incorrect if the candidate is ridiculous? If you create an infotainment circus for a political party's primaryin an inter-active world, don't complain if the crowd joins the clowns in the center ring.

[ohnoyoudidnt]

40. Okay. Calm down people. There's a perfectly good reason for this.

Carson said we shouldn't make a big deal over this painting because it really happened.

[ryan_cats]

42. That

That is rather tasteless.

My portrait with Jesus has him learning at my feet and accepting my wise counsel.

[ohnoyoudidnt]

43. Now that is a classy painting.

I think I'll have one made.
