I’d be more worried about the glaze on the doughnuts. White, brown or both?

It depends on the source, of course. The pure white ones are a little more expensive. Then there is "marble" that is a strange mix of the two. I wonder how the made that?

If he actually said this, then it was meant as a joke. However, it is not particularly funny, it is insulting to Christians, and it hands ammunition to the MSM that can be used not just against Carson, but against other Republicans.

If you are going to be a prominent pediatric neurosurgeon, you can say whatever you damn well please. If you are going to be a Republican candidate for president, you have to measure every word carefully. Ben Carson is a good guy, but I don't think he has made the transition.

Yeah. It’s bad enough when they do have government experience.

Carson is nowhere near a “fruit loop.”

Someone can be ill-versed in political claptrap and still be a brilliant human being, as he is.

I just hope he realizes that, before he does irreversible damage to his reputation.

I'm waiting for his ego to unveil. Should be interesting to watch.

Correct. In the age of eat a peanut butter sandwich in the shape that looks some what like a gun you are expelled from school you really have to filter your thoughts.

Pavlov's dogs would begin to salivate whenever an assistant entered the room.

Freepers enforce the desired silencing of conservatism via the use of gotcha journalism each time a conservative speaks.

Yeah, I was there and forced the doctor to make those inane comments. I’m like a god-ling in that way.

Tonight on Meghn’s program Dr. Carson clarified his remarks. Saying that use of the word ‘poison’ was probably not the best choice. Then he quoted the famous saying that conveys the same meaning that he meant.....that is: don’t make your waiter angry with you, after all he will be alone and out of your sight for a few minutes with your food.

The man is brilliant. And extremely humble and God-fearing, and self-effacing. Man of honor.

I have personal experience (technically 2nd hand) with this man. He is kind and thoughtful and not at all full of himself. My mother is a huge fan, just because of her personal experience with him. My nephew is the recipient of his brilliance, skill and kindness.

I am not sure Dr. Carson is the very best candidate, but damn sure I would turn out for him if he is the candidate. No question.

What we need is a conservative MMA expert, Mister Rogers doesn’t have a chance.

BS, we’ve been pandering for over a decade with candidates who ran every word by the MSM. Time to ignore the media!

What's the difference between his "correction" and the original? The idea is that the waiter is going to do something to the food to make it unfit for consumption.

He could have talked about the cases in which homosexual bakers refused to bake cakes that had anti-gay marriage inscriptions. He could have said that he opposed use of public accommodations laws to force Christians out of business for acting according to their beliefs. There were some good points to be made here. Did he make them?

Would you call Ronald Reagan “MMA”?

Carson is very kind, but still is not afraid to speak Truth, as any true faithful person would not be.

“homosexual bakers refused to bake cakes that had anti-gay marriage inscriptions”

Wait - there were some fools actually wasting energy and time planning party cakes with anti-homo salutations?
