Give Dr Ben Carlson a Break: He Did Not Plagiarize His Entire Book.

[Johny Joe Hold]

I understand the problem Republican Presidential Candidate, Dr. Ben Carlson, has. All of us in Republican politics have had to put up with it to one degree or another.

What happens is that enemies pile on. They find unimportant things to criticize and then go overboard. It's like the tiniest issue gets made into a big deal.

Dr. Ben has apologized for the plagiarism he committed in his book. He wrote some of the book himself.

That should be the end of it. But, oh no! Liberals have to keep hammering on him about it as if it reflected in some way a lack of integrity or honesty.

The only thing we need to know is that Dr. Ben is a Christian. Nothing else matters:

Truer words have never been spoken, Brother Mayor. This is all anything anyone really needs to know about anyone. We know that no man is good, no man can do good things (Isaiah 64:6; Mark 10:18; Romans 3:10; 3:23). It is only through the power of the Holy Ghost that any man can accomplish any good on this earth (Philippians 2:13; 1 Corinthians 12:6; 15:10; Hebrews 13:21). It is the Holy Ghost who does good through the man, and who are we to judge the Holy Ghost (Job 15:8; Isaiah 40:13; Romans 11:34)? Not I. I will not judge my Lord! If God desired Dr. Ben to publish certain works not attributed to the original author and taking credit for himself informally, who are we to find fault in that?

I don't hear those people carping on about how Einstein plagiarised his writings. Or is that because Einstein was a joo? And Carlson is a Christian.

Verily,

Plagiarism is irrelevant. The spread of the Word of God is the target. A soul need not know if it has been taken into heaven based on the Testimony Words that were worth repeating without citing the author's bibliography in detail, but it will surely know in Hell that it should have listened to Jesus more carefully.

Luke 12:33
Sell that ye have, and give alms; provide yourselves bags which wax not old, a treasure in the heavens that faileth not, where no thief approacheth, neither moth corrupteth.

Good words are always worth repeating if they come from Jesus.



That said, I have another example of plagiarism combined with disastrous corruption of the soul. Expectedly, it is Charles Darwin. Not only did he come up with the evil lotion scheme, it wasn't actually his in the first place.


Yours in Christ,

Elmer

When liberals copy other people's words, it's called quotation. When conservatives do, it's plagiarism. I'll start caring when the same standards apply to all.

Yes. exactly. Thank you. First, I want to see these liberals taking away Martin Luther King Jr.'s doctorate for plagiarizing his Ph.D. dissertation (source 1, source 2). THEN we can talk about Dr. Carlson.

Re: Give Dr Ben Carlson a Break: He Did Not Plagiarize His Entire Book.

Liberals always show they lack morals and ethics.

If they had higher standards on how to conduct themselves, they would praise Dr. Carlson for his fine book and just mention he had a little help in writing it.

Well, the boy can't be expected to write a lot. Be fair. Your average nigra can't even read or write at all. So Give Benny some credit.

When you give credit to another persons ideas, it is quoting. Trying to pass it off as your own idea is plagiarism. That's what people do when they do not have any original thoughts, merely reciting the same old mantras.....

I'm afraid you are misinterpreting the standards of journalism to fit your own liberal bias.

The Bible is the most influential book ever written. It was written by humans with God precisely directing each pen. This is the highest standard of literature in the world.

Dr. Carlson is a Christian writing to save others from the ravages of hell. His pen, too, is directed by God. If what God choses to write happened to appear somewhere else, it has nothing to do with Dr. Carlson. It is about following the highest calling in journalism, saving souls.

The good Dr. Carson is a very busy surgeon. So what if he wasn't the original author of every single word in his book. Was he supposed to leave his patients dying on the operating table just so he could work on his book? With liberals, you're darned if you do and darned if you don't. There have been so many words and phrases written down over time, it's no surprise that sometimes what one person writes bears an accidental resemblance to something another person wrote before. Big deal.

Maybe it's my trained eye, but did anyone else immediately hone in on this:

Carson recently told David Brody of Christian Broadcasting Network that there's a "good chance" he will run for president as he can feel "God's fingers" touching him gently for the 2016 race.

This tells me all that I need to know about Mr. Carson. The man is clearly following the Will of God here. Who is to say that the sweet caress of our Savior's fingers didn't guide him to borrow some passages here & there?

In a broader sense, this man needs to run for President. Imagine, a President who isn't afraid to wait for a gentle Godly fingering before making a decision. It reminds me of our own Godly George W. Bush! I imagine Mr. Carson spends hours in a prayer cabinet with his aides anticipating the tickle of the Lord to make itself known. I wonder if this is a method of governing that should be incorporated in our Governmental Leadership program at Landover University?

Your training, Dr. Ville, gives you insight into the physical things God does to guide leaders toward the correct decisions. And Dr. Carlson, as well, is aware of the sensuous fingers of God which envelope humans in his loving direction.

Since God's fingers essentially became the writer's hand, Dr. Carlson must leave that material in the book, even if atheist Democrats claim others wrote it first.

Re: Give Dr Ben Carlson a Break: He Did Not Plagiarize His Entire Book.

Dr. Ben gave the media a bloody nose yesterday--told them off good. He said they must stop painting him as a crazy man.

He said the press should stop saying he told them Obama was worse than slavery. All he said was the Obama was the worst thing since slavery. Big difference.

He told the Republican audience again he did not pleasurize his entire book and they should stop saying he did not write any of it.

Good for you, Dr. Ben.

Carson is a disgrace to educated African Americans everywhere!
