Ben Carson and not supporting a Muslim President
 

IMHO, Carson should not have answered the question but should have asked the interviewer if a hypothetical Muslim Candidate for President would be willing to take the Oath of Office without any condition.

"I do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will faithfully execute the Office of President of the United States, and will to the best of my Ability, preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States"

Of course, side step the question so you don't show the bigot you are.

Strong and often misused word "bigot."

Carson was correct and sounded like a patriot. There is nothing wrong with what he said. Of course, liberals that don't care what happens to our country, and will bow to radical Islamists, will also bow to a communist dictator, or anyone else to make people believe that they are being PC. They would rather the country falls, than to show allegiance to American principles. Some liberals are finally coming out and exposing themselves for what they really are, anarchists and traitors.

I have no problem with someone that speaks his heart or principles. If one does not agree with Carlson then they should not vote for him. I am sure that they are just looking for an excuse, because they will likely vote for Sanders anyway. They are just looking for a reason. Liberals are probably glad that Clinton is failing so that they have an excuse to support Sanders, the Socialist. But, it would be interesting if liberals would decide to come out of the closet and admit their Anti-American views and support. But, that won't happen because liberals are cowards that like to hide in the dark and snipe at the truth. Liberals use attacks with rhetoric and accusations of "hate, bigot, racist, sexist, war monger, etc" instead of actual facts or intelligent conversation.

Carson was speaking like a true patriot that is concerned about the future of America. It will probably cost him the election, but he will gain a lot of respect.

The reflexive liberal retort of "bigot" is soooo tiresome and lame ... please be more creative in your insults at least.

Having a Muslim for President is OBVIOUSLY a bad idea. Islam is essentially a political movement masquerading as a religion (read your history) and the ultimate obligation of any true believer is to spread the religion until it is supreme world wide.

Do you have a better sense now why what Carson said is on the money?

Islam endorses this type of perversion ... just an fyi to the liberals who still have their head up their butts on this topic. Hmmm ... guess it could be worse?

You must be a racist,if you are speaking against Carson. See, it works both ways. When flinging manure out there be careful you don't get it on yourself.

How about letting Carson speak for himself and most of the rest of us:

Hmmmmnnnnn!

Anonymously calling someone a bigot ? Really?

This article is so disgusting that I could not even finish reading it - although I thank you for sharing it because we cannot afford to continue to ignore these things. Please people, WAKE UP!!!

Good for you, Ben Carson, for being more concerned about speaking the truth than being PC or winning an election. We need more honorable people like you to lead us out of this mess!

Even if he doesn't win the election, I hope that whichever Republican candidate does, that they will look at some of the other candidates like Dr. Carson and offer them positions in their cabinet. We have a lot of talent in this pool.

slip of the tongue, as they say ???

Interesting slip though...

Yes.....as much as I have not been one to promote that he is a closet Muslim, that was spoken by him with such ease that I must say it concerned me.

:agree:

Sorry Ben, but liberals prefer that you lie to them. That's why they endorse the master of liars, Hilary.

I agree with Dr. Carson.

Actually, they DO NOT prefer to be lied to. They prefer to be the ones TELLING THE LIES.

Anonymously? If you haven't noticed all the comments are that way. Right wingers said a catholic would never be elected president, then it was a afro-american and now a muslim. The day will come when it will be three out of three. Thank god the majority of american people are not as bigoted as you.

Here is some nformation I am sure will boe of no surprise to the informed. But for the guessers and ready fire aim crowd they might actually learn something.

Note the obsolete terms as in conservative democrats!

I am not a Bigot, I am an Infidel and proud of it.

I agree with Ben Carson's position. However I believe that when asked Ben Carson should have recognized that he was being set up by the liberal media.

Ben Carson's response should have been, "when a Muslim is a candidate for President of United States then ask me my opinion".

Jeb Bush fell for that same sort of trap when the liberal media asked him, Knowing what we know now was your brother right to have invaded Iraq?

All we mortals can do is make the best decisions we can based on the facts at the time. We all have made decisions that result in unintended consequences.

P.S. We actually do have a Muslim running the country her name is Valerie Jarett and Obama take her word over anyone else in the world.

And (drum roll) look how all that is turning out?

Personal Best Regards:

Trump and Carson ticket ya there you go. Or Carson Trump ticket which ever.

Why do you all think liberals are such idiots? I honestly have no objection to a moderate Muslim being our President than I do any other person of any religion, so long as the good of this nation comes before their religion. Carson was 100% correct that a Muslim that follows Sharia law has no business trying to run our country. I know many of you will find this hard to believe but the majority of Muslims follow Sharia law as much as most Jews follow Orthodox laws. Religion should be irrelevant so long as the laws of this nation and what is best for America come first.

We've had a Catholic president who didn't drag us back to the RC Church. We've had a Quaker president who ewcalated a war. We've had a Baptist president who didn't drag us back to pre-women's rights. so long as the President understands that all Americans are to be served, not just those of a particular group or religion, religion is irrelevant. it only matters when religion takes priority.

Carson should have answered with "well, would you endorse a wicken or an atheist?" Would you want someone that doesn't believe in anything to be trusted with believing in the spirit of America?

The founders didn't have to cope with Muslim, wicken, atheist, etc. I bet they expected a certain amount of common sense. None of this should be brought up as a question, but the liberal media consistently attempts to use "gotcha" questions in order assist the liberal candidates in elections. Have they ever asked Clinton one of those questions? Nope, never happen. They'd probably end up with concrete boots, in a river.

Carson was truthful. Too bad, that's not what America wants anymore. Republicans are being stupid. They shouldn't answer stupid "gotcha" questions. Carson should have asked "are there any Muslims running for president?" And if they asked him again, if he would endorse a Muslim for president, he should say that is a redundant question, next question please. Interesting that the other side never gets those type of questions.

Carson expressed a personal opinion. So what?

He doesn't appoint a President. The President is elected by the people. He can't remove ANYBODY from a presidential run, much less a Muslim candidate if one were to ever arise.

And by the way, look up the website of the Chaplaincy of the U.S. House of Representatives where you'll find the first daily opening prayer said in Congress, as well as years worth of daily opening prayers said in the House by Judeo-Christian clergymen.

I doubt you'll find a single prayer to Allah spoken by Muslim clergy there in the House. The God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob has ALWAYS been The God in whom our nation trusts.

We made the mistake once hope it doesnt happen again. I didnt make the mistake.

Ok, first of all you make an idiotic comparison amongst the three. And, please give it up already with the even more idiotic "bigot" epithet.

Let me explain why having a Muslim for Prez is a suicidal and monumentally stupid idea ... and I'll explain it so even you can understand it.

Islam is NOT similar to the Judeo-Christian credos that most of us are familiar with. It is essentially a political ideology that, as one of the tenets, requires believers to spread the (sick and violent) religion of Muhammad until it rules worldwide. Check out your history. A true believer will also push for Sharia law. (very bad for gay and women's rights by the way but I digress)

I also thought Carson's comment about Muslim use of "Taqiyya" was quite sophisticated ... essentially this doctrine "authorizes" Muslims to engage in deception when needed if that's what it takes to advance Islam.

Thus, even a lefty liberal should be able to figure out why it would not be advisable to have a Muslim true believer as POTUS ... duh. This should not even be controversial and, except for a corrupt media, it would not be.

I'm going to start wearing that label of "bigot" as a badge of honor. That way, stupid liberals will not make stupid comments about the subject. After all, if I was open minded about gays, radical Islamists and abortions, I would be labeled as something much worst...a LIBERAL. And liberals are pretty uninformed and stupid if they don't even know the definition of such words as "bigot" or "racist." You would think that they would have some understanding with all that free Obama education they are given.

Whatever Benny says or thinks is irrelevant - he'll probably be the next Con to drop out.

His 15 minutes are just about up

every ethnic group has had to assimilate and earn the trust of fellow citizens over long periods of time...it took 200 years for a Catholic to be elected President....we may indeed welcome a muslim president at some point in the distant future when many muslim americans have proved themselves more loyal to America than to Sharia and Islam. The current climate of distrust and also the Islamic tenet of taqiyya as previously mentioned, are legitimate reasons for Dr Carson's answer. I don't think it will cost him votes with most reasonable people.

20. YOU MUST LOVE THE CHANGE YOU VOTED FOR!

As was yours a long time ago.

We already elected a Muslim president and look what has happened to AMerica in the last six years. Not again!

I think you are very accurate in your description. I noticed that no one has attempted to argue with any of it.

I remember the fear mongering when the first Catholic ran for President. He was going to turn the country over to the Pope....

His name was John F Kennedy!!!

He did no such thing.....

I do not recall two things....

1. The Catholic Church having a radical wing that was killing people world wide and proclaiming a wish to kill many.

2. The Catholic Church having their own law within the church that dramatically was at odds with the law in the USA.

Liberals might as well go ahead and join the jihad, because they are at war with all American standards and beliefs. They justify their actions by perverting and distorting the meaning of the constitution, and attempt to destroy the Christian religion because it conflicts with their atheist agenda. Liberals might as well join the rest of the radical jihadists. If Muslims are not evil then why are Liberals so sensitive to being labeled Muslims? Liberals go out of their way to protect the Muslims and persecute the Christian.

Because he was a true leader dedicated to the resplve of keeping America great and it's people safe. Plus he had the advantage of NOT HAVING the 24/7 media measuring every breath.....hence facilitating leadership.

And what a Liberal believes
