Thank You, Comrade Stalin, for Ben Carson
Say what you will about presidential candidate Ben Carson, but his performance in Saturday's Republican debate has moved his party forward. After years of Republicans comparing Barack Obama to Hitler, we now know that the GOP is our only hope against a rival totalitarian dictator: Joseph Stalin.
