QOTD: Ben Carson
by digby
At one point, the interview entered odd territory as Carson suddenly brought up neurological principles in response to a question about whether the United States should allow Syrian refugees to enter the country.
“To bring them over here is … a suspension of intellect,” Carson said. “The reason the human brain has these big frontal lobes as opposed to other animals is because we can engage in rational thought-processing … Animals, on the other hand, have big brain stems and rudimentary thinking because they react. We don’t have to just react, we can think.”
Actually, the interview had entered off territory from the moment it started.
When it comes to national security I think Trump’s simple formulation of “I’ll bomb the shit out of them” is probably a lot more appealing to Republicans.
