It's become clear over the last few years that while Ben Carson evidently understands paediatric neurosurgery very well, he has but the most tenuous grasp on anything else. The latest derptastic noise-module to fall out of Dr. Carson's always-open mouth is that being gay is a 'lifestyle choice'.
And how does Dr. Edward Scalpelhands know this? Because (as he told CNN): '...sexuality was a matter of choice because a lot people entered prison straight and emerged gay.'
According to The Independent:
Ben Carson, a black neurosurgeon-turned-conservative activist, told a US broadcaster the fight for gay marriage equality bore no resemblance to that struggle for civil rights because people “have no control” of their race.
The CNN host then asked Mr Carson if he believed homosexuality was a choice.
“Absolutely,” Mr Carson replied. “Because a lot of people who go into prison go into prison straight — and when they come out, they’re gay. So, did something happen while they were in there? Ask yourself that question.”
So, I asked myself that question and the answer came back: prisons are incubators of the ghey; to stop the plague of ghey that is destroying America and forcing decent un-ghey GOP congressmen to decorate their offices like Downton Abbey, we must close all prisons. Have I got that right? Fabulous!
Now...how do we fix libruls, Dr. Ben? Close all institutions of higher learning? We need to get on that soon, Doc, before every decent American is blighted with the misery that is affordable healthcare.
