And a wall carving that misspells "Proverbs"

[forest444]

1. An egomaniacal sociopath.

Perfect fit for today's GOP.

[DawgHouse]

2. So weird. What the hell is wrong with him? nt/

[Skittles]

4. he wants to be prez so that will go on his wall too

he is demented

[notadmblnd]

21. he's a legend in his own mind.

Thinks he's qualified to be President because he feels he is most God-like and superior to everyone and everything.

[Skittles]

3. he beats even Trump in sheer narcissism

[NOLALady]

5. Painting?

I heard it was a selfie that Jesus took with ole Ben!

[uawchild]

6. don't forget he's humble too... n/t

[Fred Sanders]

8. How many broken Commandments have been revealed in just a week regarding Dr. B. Stabby?

[Fred Sanders]

7. That being a proud racist or religious extremist in America is still apparently a total disqualifier

for it's highest political office comes as a relief.

How long does Cruz have left to make his run?

[truthisfreedom]

9. poverbs pretty much sums it up.

Dude's a joke.

[n2doc]

11. That got me too

How could anyone who is supposedly intelligent allow that to stay up and not be fixed?

I love the black Jeebus, though. Wonder what is supporters would think of that?

[WorseBeforeBetter]

20. That's why I recced: Poverbs and black Jesus.

My stepfather was pretty high up the military/federal government food chain and had a home office showcasing decades of service since the Korean War. You could really get lost in that room -- so much history. But no Poverbs or black Jesus!

[Plucketeer]

10. HOLY CRAP!

Literally!

[RoccoR5955]

12. He's a legend in his own mind! n/t

[BlueJazz]

16. Man, isn't that the truth. I wouldn't be caught dead in some "Ceremonial Ego Trip" such as that.

Reminds me of this>

13. Is this guy a real person, or is this some kind of Saturday Night Live sketch several decades in the

making?

[icymist]

14. So when is he beginning to build his pyramid?

I mean, grain silo?

[lebkuchen]

15. Pretty cool--a member of the Knights Templar

in the 11th century. He fought with Richard the Lionheart during the 3rd Crusade. NOW I'im impressed!

[kelliekat44]

17. Lay off. He earned his awards, rewards, and renown. He still is a man of achievement.

You just have to excuse his manic dementia right now.

[Beacool]

18. I guess the basement is his man cave.

He decorated it as a temple to himself.

Funny the proverb he chose to have engraved atop the mantle:

"By Humility and the Fear of the Lord, are Riches and Life"

Humble, he's not........

[Hoppy]

19. How much did Jesus have to pay Carson for the privilege?

[JLTaylor]

22. Wow

He is everything they said about President Obama. Karma.

[TeamPooka]

23. The Bible quote about Humility is lost on Dr. Carson. nt

[trueblue2007]

24. CARSON LIVES IN AN UGLY HOUSE!!!

Yuck

[LiberalElite]

25. A lawyer I worked for, very down to earth, high integrity -

sneered at the common practice of displaying the various ornate diplomas and certificates lawyers collect in the course of their career on a wall in the office. He called it the "I love me wall."

[trillion]

28. There's nothing wrong with putting up a degree or certicate. I have a few up that I am proud of.

I don't have a wall of them or any pictures of myself up, but I do have my framed degree up and a few more certificates. I do love me but I love others just as much. I put up pictures of others - whom I happen to love. I have a picture of one grandma on a Camel in Israel on a trip to the Holy lands(a Christian one) and another literally in her Marijuana field with the blades surrounding her - she grew it albeit not legally. She was arrested when she was 68 for protesting a nuclear power plant. I'm proud of her. She died when I was 10. I wouldn't dream of putting up pictures of myself though. Family, absolutely. dozens of those.

[Agnosticsherbet]

26. I have seen a lot of I love me walls, but never an I Love Me house. nt

27. !!!

29. Ben Carson was a very gifted man at one time.

Isn't it obvious that he has some sort of illness going on, mental or otherwise. I'm going to watch "Gifted Hands:The Ben Carson Story" and see what has gone wrong. A man that did some brilliant neurosurgery can't be this cartoon of a man that is running for President. I feel sorry for the man.

30. It's the "Anybody can be president myth."

It's another one of those phoney markers proving that you live in a democracy, even when you clearly do not.

31. As I've mentioned before, he sent my late dad a signed lithograph of himself

He isn't exactly shy about being an egomaniac.

[Hoppy]

32. How much did Jesus have to pay to be in the picture?
