Intelligent in surgery, yes, open minded I dont think so - the man doesn't believe in evolution, compares gay marriage to bestiality and then says all blacks dont think for themselves.

The truth is hard to swallow sometime isn't it?

BTW he didn't say all Blacks. You're already getting it twisted.

Hardly surprising, we see that in a two-party split, 60-80% of welfare recipients are Democrats, while full time Workers are evenly divided between parties.
I have googled that study and found the chart that actually has the link to the study in it.

Campbell Public Affairs Institute: Merged Data Set

It seems the data in the chart is mentioned no where in the study. The person who created the chart could only come up with those figures by claiming everyone who responded yes was a democrat, and the study clearly states they are not. it also states that not all yes answers are about the responder.

a little advice, dont quote charts from blogs, especially when the blogs ONLY post the charts and no information behind it.

seriously, i went to about 8 blogs before i found one with the link to the data itself, none of the blogs had the data from the chart actually written out in words. just the same generic copy and paste statement you posted in the above

You can bet that if Dr. Carson was a Democrat, petch would be berating him as just another minority moocher who got where he is by exploiting affirmative action and the welfare system.

I have no desire to listen to hate speech, guess others didn't either.

Was he born a doctor? How did he get the money to go to medical school? How did his single mother support him? Did Affirmative Action help him along the way?

You know, there's this other black man who was raised by a single mom, too, and who rose pretty high (all the way to President!) who did so all on his own, without welfare or affirmative action. But somehow, I kind of doubt petch is as impressed with his accomplishments. I wonder why that is...?
