Ben Carson Says Muslims Should Be Disqualified From Presidency

[Mac1958]

It really is amazing how quick some are to jump to the defense of (a) an organized religion and (b) one that treats women and gays as Islam does.

PC sure makes strange bedfellows, huh?

That's not what this thread is about, we're talking about the idiocy of carson.

I have asbsolutely no love in my heart for Islam, but a religious litmus test for the presidency of the greatest nation on the face of the Earth?

No thank you.

It's true that it was a stupid thing for a politician to say, but nevertheless is a perfectly reasonable proposition.

Not really. Teh Constitution specifically forbids a religious test for office. Carson could have said "Anyone who supports Muslim domination over the West is unfit to be president" and I would have agreed with him. He could have said a bunch of things or nothing and come out better.

The libs would still be attacking him. He never said the law should be changed to a Muslim can't become president.

He said a Muslim should not be president. That is a religious test for office, which is forbidden.

Only if it's made into law. Telling people they shouldn't vote for Muslims is entirely constitutional.

Except that isnt what he said. And if he did he is wrong and bigoted.

Show us where he said it should be against the law to vote for a Muslim.

Muslims should absolutely be banned from U.S. Presidency. Look what the last seven years got us for being politically correct. Now we're looking at making it worse by putting a woman in to succeed the POS. Of course, following Hillary, a Muslim might be an improvement. Never!!!

Another right wing psychopath chimes in. Obama is not a muslim, he is not a kenyan, he is not a communist. You psychopaths have been spewing that garbage for years and you've made yourselves look stupid, we love for you it, after all, it's good comedy, but please, grow the **** up.

If you had the possibility of comprehending one possible written word, then you'd note I didn't say a single thing about Obimination being Muslim. **** you, and YOU grow the **** up.

Hmmmm, you seem angry, short stuff.

Is your dildo a little too tight today?

Wasn't angry at all until you misread my post and then called me a psychopath and told me to "grow the **** up". That would, IMO, make anybody miffed. Perhaps you should try to be a wee bit less offensive.

You said: "Muslims should absolutely be banned from U.S. Presidency." You implied obama is a muslim as well.

Your free to vote by whatever criteria you choose. So long as I can vote, I will never vote for a Muslim.

I've been saying it, the GOP is truly ******* insane.
Ben Carson Says Muslims Should Be Disqualified From Presidency

A supporter at a Donald Trump created quite a stir on Thursday when, among other incendiary remarks, he falsely claimed President Obama was a Muslim.

But the comment raises an interesting question: What if it were true? Why should it matter if Obama was a Muslim?

On Meet The Press, Chuck Todd posed that exact question to Ben Carson, the retired neurosurgeon who is closely trailing Trump in the polls. Carson said he would not support a Muslim president and that only candidates with a faith “consistent with the Constitution” should be President.

CHUCK TODD: Let me wrap this up by finally dealing with what’s been going on, Donald Trump, and a deal with a questioner that claimed that the president was Muslim. Let me ask you the question this way. Should a President’s faith matter? Should your faith matter to voters?

BEN CARSON: Well, I guess it depends on what that faith is. If it’s inconsistent with the values and principles of America, then of course it should matter. But if it fits within the realm of America and consistent with the constitution, no problem.

TODD: So do you believe that Islam is consistent with the constitution?

CARSON: No, I don’t, I do not.

TODD: So you–

CARSON: I would not advocate that we put a Muslim in charge of this nation. I absolutely would not agree with that.

If Ben Carson, or anyone else, should defy the orbits of the moon and the stars and somehow get elected having made that predetermination, he would be violating his oath of office as he was reciting it! Therefore, anyone who would support the election of someone for the position of President of the US or any other office of trust, who would willfully deny an inalienable right to any US citizen has their thinking mired in ignorance and bigotry!

Please. Dont play word games here. You are above that crap.
He maintained that a Muslim should not be elected president solely because he was a muslim. That is bigoted and forbidden by the Constitution.

Democrats have made their hostility to Christianity quite plane. The assholes in this forum insult Christians on a daily basis.

Ahah....

Quite...

Only making it illegal is forbidden. Telling people they shouldn't vote for a Muslim is entirely Constitutional, and that's all Carson did. It's speech protected by the First Amendment.

 

[JoeMoma]

I believe that in our current times that many if not most Americans would have difficulty voting for a Muslim to be president. That being said, Muslims have the right to run for the office if they meet the requirements set by the constitution.

Ben Carson was simply being honest that he would not support a Muslim being elected president. The title of this thread is untrue. Carson did not say that Muslims should be disqualified from holding the office.

You said: "Muslims should absolutely be banned from U.S. Presidency." You implied obama is a muslim as well.

Yet one more example of your inability to comprehend the written word. Never implied that at all! I know full well he "claims" a Christain affiliation, but that's all it is, a mere claim. I suspect you and he share the same affliction, being aetheist, humanistic, non believing assholes. To be expected from slimeballs.

In suggesting a religious test for potential presidents — where some religions would be “inconsistent” with the constitution — Carson appears somewhat unfamiliar with the text of the constitution. Article VI, paragraph 3 of the United States constitution states “no religious test shall ever be required as a qualification to any office or public trust under the United States.”

Carson’s answer was reminiscent of former presidential candidate Herman Cain who said in 2012 that he would not appoint a Muslim to his cabinet. He later met with Muslim leaders andapologized for his comments. “I am truly sorry for any comments that may have betrayed my commitment to the U.S. Constitution and the freedom of religion guaranteed by it,” Cain said.

Uhuh. And you are, of course, in the position to decide who is a Christian, or not....

fun!!!!

Do you do omnipotence as well?
