Ben Carson Says Muslims Should Be Disqualified From Presidency

[Skylar]

Carson thinks a Muslim's beliefs are in conflict with the Constitution,

and yet, Muslim Congressman Keith Ellison is pro-choice; Carson is anti-choice,

and abortion is a constitutionally protected right.

Who is conflict with the Constitution?

Abortion is a constitutionally protected right? Ha ha ha. What a joke!

Why many conservative politicians are trying to pass a bill making a fertilized egg a person. I guess the joke is on you.

I just find if funny that you actually think that the US. Constitution gives a woman the right to kill a baby she conceived, no matter what when and how.

The constitution gives a woman the right to control her own body. You insist YOU should be in control of her body.

The court clearly disagrees.

Does it? So if she's suffering from dementia and wants to die, does it give her the right to take a lethal dose of barbiturates?

In terms of her reproduction, it absolutely does. Her reproductive choices are hers. Not yours. And for a lot of conservatives the fact that she gets to make this decision herself infuriates them. As these conservatives feel that its a choice they should be making for her.

Nope. In the question of her reproduction......you're nobody.

BUT the government NOW can and does tell me what I may and may not present via Public Education.

The government says my children cannot be forced to pray to your God in their school.

You are more than free to teach your children whatever you like.

 

[LogikAndReazon]

Mmm..... If a woman has the "right" to control her own body, why the **** does she have to depend on taxpayers to manage her uncontrolled f--- ups ?

It's a valid question.

The state cannot tell Christians how to practice their faith. And their faith tells them that gay marriage, in the religious sense, is a sin.

Then they shouldn't marry a person of the same sex....but they also cannot tell others, who don't practice their faith that they can't. Adultery is a sin, too, and I don't see too many here on this forum that are against ssm, voicing complaints about that. Donald Trump committed adultery with Marla Maples, and yet there's a bunch of homphobes here that think Donald Trump should be President.....

You all have seen how the Muslin Islam haters react to pictures of what we have done ....they shrug and call it "war" and that resolves all moral issues ..."hey its war" LOl

This is the nut bag other genius response

"victims of war for the past 5000 years" but I only used samples from the last half of the 20 th century and 21 st century...there was no napalm 5000 years ago

This poster talks as though the wars create themselves

We did go to war with Nazi Germany and many Americans died as well as 15 million Germans. I'm sure you have some pretty horrific pictures of Germans when the allies bombed the shit out of Dresden. Didn't make the Germans right though. Neither did it make the Japanese right when America cooked hundreds of Japanese by dropping the A bomb on them. Your response qualifies you for ADD treatment.

It is not a stupid question. It is a very difficult one. One which our country has always said the answer to is, "No."

So far, only three states say, "Yes." And only just recently.

Oh boy, here we go. A fetus is a fetus, it is reliant on the female body and the female has authority over the fetus, it is her body, there is no way in hell to control uterus's, it's impossible, well, unless you want to force women to give birth.

A religion -- any religion -- isn't "compatible" or "incompatible" with the COTUS. They're two different things.

He said Islam isn't compatible with the constitution and he is correct. A vast majority of Americans will agree with that. Maybe some of them are liberal pussies who are afraid of becoming outcasts among their friends, and won't say the obvious.

Islam is a religion.
The Constitution is a legal structure.

They're two different things. The latter is public, the former private.

I don't know or give a flying rat's ass **** what kind of loaded question your fantasy "vast majority" will "agree" with, I'm interested in what makes sense. That's why I correct you -- you don't.

With what is happening in the world today and what has become exposed about Islam, what makes sense is not having a person of Muslim faith running the Oval Office, the highest position in the world. And that's what Ben Carson said. Maybe you would like to see a president spreading Shariah law from the Oval Office, but I will wager that over 90% of Americans agree with Ben Carson, and do not want to see a Muslim as president.

That is plain stupid and the common way of thinking for most conservatives. If you are born in the United States, your religion shouldn't matter. It only matters to those who want to make this country a theocracy and inject their beliefs into our government. That is why Jefferson so intelligently declared "Separation of church and state" - the President should rely on the Constitution and not their own personal beliefs. Theocracy is how third countries are run.....into the ground.....and conservatives would turn this country into a third world country in a NY second with their religious extremists, radically charismatic and uninformed candidates.

God help us if someone like Huckabee should get elected.....he has his owned skewed version of what the Bible says.

Personally I don't want to see Huckabee get elected either. He is very knowledgeable, and does shed light and speaks correctly about many issues involving our country and the world today. However, I feel he is too zealous underneath and it will affect his judgement and therefore the separation of church and state will be violated. Just as we have a radical ideologue anti American leftist socialist in the Oval office now who's ideology permeates everything he says and does. Even JFK had to prove to the nation that in his eyes, the Pope, Catholicism or the Vatican do not supersede his country.

So of course, religion (and how devout a person is) does matter when it comes to the Oval Office, especially when it comes to Islam. Considering what is happening in the world today if you think otherwise you have had your head in the sand for too long. And that is what Ben Carson has said.

Huckabee also has a history of being a big spending tax increaser.

She has the right to deny the use of her body to anyone. Or anything.

The Constitution protects her right to privacy between her and her doctor. Abortion has been declared legal by the Supreme Court....just like Obamacare....I find it funnier that you know that and you still question it!

 

[rightwinger]

Carsons bigotry should disqualify him from the Presidency

he's entitled to his opinion......or... like a muslim... you don't believe in free speech....?

I value the right to free speech

That right also includes the right to ridicule those who embarass themselves

That's precisely why we're always ridiculing you.

I have heaped more than your fair share of ridicule on you Fingerboy

Exactly. This debate is well worn. We all know each other's positions. Ultimate, it doesn't matter what we believe. It matters what she believes. As we're not the one's in her shoes.

And she's the one that makes the decision. Not any of us.

Of course she does, but it's an attempt to dodge the abortion subject, regardless, I do support a persons right to end their own life.

When you see a priest or rabbi perform a religious marriage ceremony for two men or women, IT IS AN ABOMINATION and an insult to all three faiths, Islam, Judaism, and Christianity. Let them have a different union and call it something else and give them the same exact rights as married couples.

You can go right ahead and do that in your Church. No one is stopping your from banning gay marriage in your Church. You can roll around in the aisles with your snakes and cuss homosexuality to your heart's content.

But that has absolutely nothing to do with going to the State and applying for all the cash and prizes Caesar bestows on marriages. Those cash and prizes have NOTHING to do with your religion. Two men filing a joint tax return has NOTHING to do with your Church.

That's how the whole separation thing works, dumbass.

Yes, the state has no right to impose their interpretation of a religious ritual upon the public.

You have that exactly backwards.

Any Church or Synagogue who marries two men or two women is mocking the faith and a total joke. The FAITH implicitly forbids gay marriage, you idiot.

This is exactly why we have a First Amendment. You want YOUR beliefs forced on others. Just because YOUR church thinks gay marriage is a sin, does not mean everyone must be forced to believe what you believe.

Please explain to everyone how two men filing a joint tax return violates your religion. Tax returns have NOTHING to do with your Church. Nor do Social Security survivor benefits.

Never said they can't have the same RIGHTS as married couples. Why don't they call it a civil union and leave the world alone. But no, they want to stomp and insult people's faiths as well. They have the "right".
