Ben Carson and Those Patriotic ISIS Fighters

Yes, for real, he said this:

In a speech to the Republican National Committee's winter meeting outside San Diego, the former neurosurgeon and conservative favorite praised American patriots for their willingness to give their lives for their beliefs. Then he mentioned the Islamic State group.

"They got the wrong philosophy, but they're willing to die for what they believe, while we are busily giving away every belief and every value for the sake of political correctness," he said as Republican officials from across the country interrupted him with applause. "We have to change that."

Commonly known as ISIS, the Islamic State group has been responsible for hundreds of deaths across the Middle East in recent months. Islamic State militants claimed responsibility for recent beheadings of Western journalists and aid workers. One of the suspects in the recent Paris terror attacks claimed allegiance to the Islamic State group.

Yeah! We should all be willing to kill over our disagreements and differences, Dr. Ben! ........ Oh..... wait..... no.

This guy is an absolute imbecile. Yes, he was a brilliant surgeon, but the man is either socially ignorant, crazy, or just in over his head. Just because I won some campaigns doesn't mean I'd go become a doctor. Perhaps the doctor should leave politics to people with mature, adult thoughts on the issues, and not try to incite lunatics. If he honestly sees something redeemable in ISIS, he only proves every critic's point.
