*  Both trump and carson are egomaniacal narcissists, and their weak minded followers pump themselves up vicariously watching these clowns in their antics. All the while spouting mindless John Birch bumper sticker philosophy or some kind of Christian non-sequiturs.
*  And here we thought Trump was the egomaniac of the bunch!
*  This guy is a massive ego maniac with a huge penchant for lying and deceit..Perfect GOP candidate.
*  its one thing to be proud of your accomplishments . But i think having a shrine built to hold them and have paintings of you and Christ together is kinda creepy
*  It just like Ted Baxter's dressing room!!!!!!
*  Am a Christian, however this is just a little to much for me. I for one will question his sincerity.
*  The most frightening thing about Dr. Carson is that he has this carefully tailored presentation of a humble thoughtful honest person....but the more he says and the more I learn about him, I am starting to think it is all an act designed to sell the image (and book) of Ben Carson more then anything else.

Ben Carson's Home Is an Eerie Homage to Ben Carson
By Tom McKay, November 7, 2015

Neurosurgeon Dr. Ben Carson, who continues to rank in first or second place in polls for the Republican presidential primary race, has what could charitably be called an eccentric taste in home decor.

A recent profile in the Guardian took a photo tour of Carson's home in Upperco, Maryland, and dubbed what it documented as an "homage to himself."

Carson's walls are covered with dozens of news clippings, honorary degrees and photos of him alongside various celebrities, dignitaries and world leaders — as well as full-size paintings featuring Carson proudly posing in his white coat alongside the lord Jesus Christ.

No, really:

A pretty large portrait of Carson rests above his fireplace.

Here are some other shots of all the strange memorabilia one finds in Casa de Carson:

worst thing in Carson's house isn't the painting of him with Jesus, it's this inscription with "Proverbs" misspelled pic.twitter.com/KhvLvAcEfh

To those not inclined to find Carson's political views particularly compelling, this choice of furnishings will doubtless seem as weird as the candidate's consistently bizarre public pronouncements. Just recently, those include his alternate explanation for who really built the pyramids, his shifting narrative on his violent past as a teenager, inconsistencies in the story of his supposed full scholarship to West Point, and his theory that Jews could have prevented the Holocaust if they had just owned more firearms.

On the other hand, Carson's supporters will probably see the photos as more evidence that the legendary neurosurgeon is a very accomplished person and dedicated Christian.

Strangely enough, Carson isn't the only presidential candidate to prominently display paintings of himself. Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas), who is currently ranked well behind Carson in an average of polls kept by Real Clear Politics, has long kept a massive portrait of himself arguing before the United States Supreme Court in his office.
