That, I am. But I am also willing to look rationally at what he says and not get persuaded by media headlines.

For example, last week he used a metaphor of "rabid dogs" in describing terrorists. The headlines and the news articles conveyed that he "compared refugees to rabid dogs." If one didn't take time to understand what was actually said, you would have believed the media, which was an out and out lie.

Beyond that I posted about it on Facebook and several of my liberal friends were offended -- including two active news reporters. They simply could not see how a metaphor is different from a comparison. That is their line of work. They aren't stupid people. They are committed liberals, though.

I do think that Carson may be well above the intellect levels of most of you creating a difficulty in understanding what he's talking about. And that probably is going to end his run.

So, you'll get Trump instead. Here's hoping the Left feels better about that.
