I agree with Dr. Carson.

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

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.
