Ben Carson likened Syrian refugees fleeing the country’s bloody civil war and Islamic State violence to dogs on Thursday.

Speaking to reporters following a campaign stop in Mobile, Alabama, Carson stressed that the United States wants smart leaders who care about people, but noted there should always be a balance between safety and humanitarian concerns.

“For instance, you know, if there is a rabid dog running around your neighborhood, you’re probably not going to assume something good about that dog, and you’re probably gonna put your children out of the way,” Carson said. “Doesn’t mean that you hate all dogs by any stretch of the imagination.”

Continuing his analogy, the Republican presidential candidate said that screening refugees is like questioning how you protect your children, even though you love dogs and will call the Humane Society to take the dog away to reestablish a safe environment.

I really have not listened to him for a bit --so do not know his take on Carson in general.

bragged about taunting and harassing elderly people, bragged about running from the police, allegedly tried to stab someone with a knife, allegedly tried to attack someone with a padlock, left a sponge in someone's brain and thinks that the Pyramids were built to store grain.



How in the hell is this guy a 2nd place pick?

Oh wait, these are the same people who voted for George W. Bush twice.
