“That’s what America is about,” Carson said. “A land of dreams and opportunity. There were other immigrants who came here in the bottom of slave ships, worked even longer, even harder for less." Ben Carson is a might confusing because he is without a doubt a brilliant brain surgeon & yet, & yet ... according to him he communes telepathically with wild bears, can calm armed-robbers, stabbed his best friend, & now sees slavery as some sort of Welcome To the Land of Liberty All are Welcome Act. Ben Carson is an idiot because well ... where to start, well how's about millions of folks forced to board ships naked, afraid, chained in rows, as SLAVES, & yes, half of all slave infants died in the first year, survivors lived on a basic nutrition-free gruel, there was diarrhea, dysentery, whooping cough, blindness, skin lesions & convulsions, & they were SLAVES. but to Dr. Ben Carson these terrified, beaten, chained, whipped, SLAVES ... were immigrants just like you and just like me.

Ben Carson is an idiot ... a poem of simple astonishment.
