My 24 year old boy acheived ACT and SAT tests scores within the top 1% percentile while in high school....................he's apparently much brighter than dad, but I digress. He graduated high school with a GPA over 4.0 with about 30 hours of college credits, depending on the school I'm certain. He received letters from hundreds of schools including West Point, Vanderbilt, Notre Dame, Duke, Brown, and Northwestern stating that they would love him to attend their school.

Was he offered an invitation to attend or not? Technically no, since if he was found to be a criminal the offer may have been rescinded. That being said, my son could have attended any of those schools. If I claim that my boy was offered entrance into the Notre Dame business school, was I lying? I think not. This is what Liberals are doing with Ben Carson, and they feel very comfortable doing so.

The same Liberals also feel very comfortable with Hillary lying.

West Point NEVER offered Carson an appointment. That fact is not in dispute. What happened was that General William Westmoreland probably urged him to apply, but Carson chose not to. Then Carson claimed in his autobiography that he was offered a "scholarship" to West Point.

So he lied.

Yes, those dirty liberals at the Wall Street Journal. Don't forget Jeb promised to "Fix It." I suggest to you this is part of his fix. Liberals are amused by Conservative on Conservative violence.

That's it, terminology!

When Carson said he WAS offered an appointment to West Point, he should have used the proper terminology and said he was NOT offered a position at West Point.

When Carson said he did NOT have an affiliation with Mannatech, he should have used the proper terminology and said that he DID have an affiliation with Mannatech.

When he claimed to be a hero in a Yale class called Perceptions 301, he should used the proper terminology and said there was NO SUCH CLASS at Yale.

When he said that NO signers of the Declaration of Independence had "no elected office experience," he should have used the proper terminology and said that MOST signers of the Declaration of Independence had elected office experience.

And when he said that the Pyramids were built by the biblical Joseph to store grain, he should have used the proper terminology and...just admitted he's batshit crazy.

Terminology! Thanks for clearing that up, Roulette Man.

Personally, I can care less about Carson's tall tales of his earlier life. I'm much more concerned about his complete lack of knowledge of foreign affairs, his mathematically ignorant economic platform, and his hostile views towards anyone that does not share his religion or values. The fact that he made shit up to sell a book comes in a distant second to all that.
