Murdoch Pushing Ben Carson

Is the fix in?

Check out these tweets. Insider Rupert Murdoch is aggressively pushing Ben Carson.

To give you a sense of how confused a character Carson is, in his book, One Nation: What We Can All Do to Save America's Future, during his discussion of shale oil drilling and support for it, he partially justifies shale oil drilling this way:
As a bonus, energy dependence for us means decreased revenues for radical terrorists elements who aim to destroy our way of life.
To be sure, there is nothing wrong with oil shale drilling if it doesn't damage the property of others. It is bizarre, however, to promote the idea that radical terrorists have the means to destroy the United States. They don't. But further, assuming for the moment they could destroy the U.S., if U.S. revenue is so important to them, while they fight in the Middle East, are they going destroy this revenue source?

Carson is a typical neocon warmonger, who that holds the American exceptionalism  neocon mantra close to his heart, that is, America must make the world over in its image.

In the epilogue to his book, he writes
If we are not an exceptional nation, we can quietly slide into insignificance...

    1. He was in support of some national health care ID/account. I remember him saying something like that around his critical Obama speech at some rally/event/whatever that first made him famous politically.
