Ben Carson's Home Is an Eerie Homage to Ben Carson
http://news.yahoo.com/ben-carsons-home-eerie-homage-195358324.html
FOX “News” is now reporting items like
"Carson's life story has been a central point of his appeal and the West Point story has been part of that appeal. If the other campaigns and the media can go after Carson on trust, his campaign is finished. His support levels are very high, but his support is also very, very soft.People are supporting Carson because they are not enamored with the rest of the field, but they are not wedded to him.
"As CNN goes after the knifing story and now the Carson campaign is admitting this fabrication, we're about to see a novice politician with a less than highly skilled campaign begin to head into a storm the candidate himself created."

This exposes your racist heart.
Unfortunately, you are spot on.
I am always accountable for my own bigotry and hypocrisy.
Jesus teaches me to be aware of the logs and timbers in my own eyes before I deem to point out the tiny speck of sawdust in my neighbor’s.
You and Ben Carson have some things in common: You both defend a sexual perversion that God abhors.
That being said: I suppose if Carson were more like Obama (i.e. he had a job handing out food stamps as a "community organizer" in Chi-town), you'd be slobbering all over yourself at the thought of him being POTUS.

Good for you.
:rotfl: That is some funny stuff right there....
Who gives a rip what you think about anything going on in our nation, you are a foreigner and your opinion doesn't mean spit, you have already surrendered your freedom for socialism. Don't you have an anarchy protest to attend in London with the rest of the malcontent liberals?
Shame on you, despicable shame. Hillary is of her father the devil and hates God with all heart, mind and soul.
Well given that the president does not have the power to make law, nor has any candidate running said that they will not uphold the law you are in a pickle because, that means none of them intend to outlaw homosexuality. A person does not have to agree with the behavior to accept that they have a legal right to behave that way aCW,and so it is with homosexuality, abortion, and other abhorrent behaviors. The president is the leader of all the people not just the ones you agree with so, you go ahead and stand on principle and attempt to set up your theocracy, I will vote for the man that with uphold the constitution & laws of the land, and if that is Ben Carson I will give him my vote. I don't have to agree with the man on every point to understand he is a better choice for this ailing nation than the felon Hillary.
Wishful thinking at best, I would love to see it also but, I don't agree that Cruz has the thrust to grasp the nomination. I too would vote for Cruz but, do you really think he is going to attempt to outlaw homosexuality? and do you believe that Cruz would deny any american their rights as long as they are the law of the land? In this regard I don't see Cruz being any different than Carson both will faithfully execute the laws of the land and follow the constitution.

SCOTUS rulings (Roe v Wade, Lawrence v Texas, Obergefell v Hodges) can be overturned. Being that Ben Carson has promoted homosexuality, I don't see him being aggressive in overturning rulings made by activist Judges.
These "legal rights" that you speak of were made by activist Judges. Refer to my above comments.
Homosexuality is a behavior, (a changeable one at that), a behavior that 1-2% of the population engages in.
I wasn't aware that in order to legislate righteous laws that a nation first had to be a "theocracy" (i.e. to designate a "state religion").
If Carson can't get something as simple as human sexuality right, what makes you think that he won't change his mind (i.e. morals) on other issues?

Amongst other things Ted Cruz has said that he would return things like homosexual legislation back to the States (around 19 of them still have laws against homosexuality on the books) and has been a strong proponent of religious freedom (meaning activist Judges won't have a free hand to persecute Christians as they're doing under Obama).
Obviously you haven't been following Senator Cruz. Might I suggest that you follow him on Facebook and other mediums that will keep you informed of what he intends on doing as President?

Activist judges have sat on that court from the beginning of this nation with plenty of bad decisions to their account but, without the hearts & minds of all Americans changing it is doubtful that these will be overturned anytime soon. That is just being realistic about the world we live in.
Be that as it may they are currently the law of the land are they not? Would you suggest that Cruz or any other conservative rule through fiat like the current occupant? If they don't like it, don't enforce it?
What does that have to do with the legality of this behavior?
Presidents don't legislate anything aCW, they enforce the laws that are legislated, a theocracy has no place in this nation under this constitution.
I don't believe from what I have read, including the articles you posted earlier that Carson is giving the stamp of approval. I do however see that he recognizes the right of the homosexual to exercise a choice to behave that way, and given that the constitution is silent on the matter which makes it a state issue to be allowed or denied at that level. The president is allowed to have a personal opinion while also accepting the law and opinions of others...you, I, nor he has to agree with the law.
Every candidate says they will do a lot of things and Carson said he supported the same thing in the article you posted earlier, he said he believed that it was an issue to be decided by the states but, there is that whole SCOTUS issue that has to be dealt with for him as well. I like both candidates and would pull the lever for either.
I do follow him on Facebook, I also am realistic about what the man can & cannot do in the very remote chance he does get the nomination much less the presidency. It is a long way to the nomination and I would expect the left, the RINO's, & the media to be working in concert against any candidate that is not the party anointed...

Can you think of any that were worse than the one allowing the murder of 58 million unborn babies in a 43 year period and the one that redefined a 2,000 year old institution (marriage) which is the nucleus of all societies?
Your negative attitude is duly noted (and nothing new based on our past conversations).

No, Supreme Court decisions are not the law of the land, this is how uninformed Americans have become. SCOTUS rulings were meant to deal with individual cases, not set a precedent for laws.
Unlike the current tyrant in office, Ted Cruz knows the Constitution and would rule accordingly. Again, SCOTUS rulings were not meant to be legislation.

You had stated above "The president is the leader of all the people not just the ones you agree with..."; I'm just pointing out that there is no such thing as homosexual people, they are people that are engaging in an immoral and extremely destructive behavior.

I agree, and if any politician wants to make a 'state religion' (i.e. The Church of America), I'd be against it. But we're talking about righteous/moral laws being legislated, not forcing religious doctrine on anyone.

Sitting on two large corporate boards that gave it's sexually confused employees the same benefits as married people certainly is a "stamp of approval".
The writers of the Constitution couldn't even fathom a country that would allow something that God and they abhorred. Refer to the table of context in Part 4 of my WHMBR! thread to see what the founders said about homosexuality (so much for it being a "right").
Again, rulings by activist Supreme Court Judges are not the law of the land.

Cruz has a history of doing what he says he'll do.
It's back to his promotion of homosexuality as a board member for two corporations and his belief that those who engage in homosexuality should be able to have "civil unions" (Carson won't do anything to stop the homosexual agenda or protect religious freedom if elected POTUS).

Whether God abhors anything or not, it always has to come down to an interpretation of God and not any free-form perfect knowledge of us finite humans.
Wrong again. Please just be an adult and ask me direct questions of my thinking and beliefs. Never assume.
I am curious as to why you forced the dialogue away from racism and onto a different topic entirely.
Community organizers do not “hand out food stamps.” They are not allowed to. That is the government’s purview.
What they can do is to help community members access the safety nets available to them from their taxes.
Another example of one-dimensional marginalization and condemnation of another human being.
We should have learned a lesson from the history of Germany in the late 20s, 30s and early 40s.
And what of the “malcontent conservatives” of the Tea Party and the House’s “Freedom Caucus”?
Americans have a strong stripe of anti-corporatism in our DNA. In 1773, the American colonists successfully pulled off a nonviolent demonstration against the East India Tea Company, which was the closest thing to a global corporation in its day.
Occupy WallStreet and the conservatives are making common cause today, if you haven’t noticed:

If there's one thing I cannot abide it's a nitwit who continually insists other people act like an adult. That is the tactic of an eighteen year old who suddenly finds himself of age. :carryon:
