So you’re telling Dr. Carlson to crawl back into his hole based on a HotAir article?
I have no problem with Dr. Carlson because I wasn’t anointing him the 2016 Candidate. I merely recognized that he made a very articulate argument against Obama’s policies in the Great One’s presence.
I’m not willing to demonize every conservative because may not match my viewpoint on every issue. I just wouldn’t vote them.

Well, of course, because didn't give rights to people who live in predominantly black neighborhoods of Chicago. Right?
Dr. Carson already kicked conservatives to the curb this weekend as he denied SoCon issues should take precedence over fiscal issues. So these views on the 2nd should not be too surprising.
I also applaud Glenn Beck for letting Dr. Carson express his views in his own terms.
Okay, should we throw out the baby with the bathwater? I think if we pulled Dr. Carson aside and said, “Your other views are great. The way you handled the President at the National Prayer Breakfast was awesome. Now I realize you have never campaigned before, but the second amendment is a non-negotiable item”. Personally, I in no way agree with his position on guns. However I agree with a lot of the other things he says. Lets not send him to the gallows yet...
Dr. Carson is just like the others (Christie and Brown come immediately to mind) that certain Freepers are so anxious to support in the beginning, without knowing a lot about them. Then they find out more and are disappointed.
Agreed. I was disgusted at Rand Paul’s vote for Hagel, but I won’t hang him for that alone. These are articulate people with good ideas. What we should do is engage them, and bring them around to our side on these issues. Come on, conservatives. If you can’t win over people who are already mostly conservative, what chance do you have of winning over most of America? I could change Carson’s mind about this in twenty minutes tops.
That’s exactly my point. Dr. Carson made Obama look foolish, and using scripture as his basis.
I completely disagree with him about the 2nd Amendment. However, I refuse to cast him aside based on these statements.
I didn’t always have strong beliefs on the 2nd Amendment myself. However, when I started studying the Con-Law, I became an ardent opponent of any form of gun control.
Let’s give him some time before we castigate him.
Make them all illegal. Then I can own anything I want.
I’m reading his book. He is way better than anyone else on the horizon. I doubt I will ever find anyone I agree with 100% on every issue. I love Allen West but didn’t agree with him on several things. Dr. Carson is still an amazing man and an amazing American.
Romney made a really serious error by proposing that he was good enough to be President but he couldn't keep his mouth shut about putting gays in charge of the Boy Scouts, and gay marriage, and several other bits of clap trap and nonsense.
We should never put someone like that at the top of our candidates' lists again ~ that was beyond gross stupidity ~ it was terminal ~ and took down 12 Senate candidates with it!
ditto!
He's right. If you live within the borders of the USA and are a citizen you are allowed to own a semiautomatic weapon in fact you should own many of them. Well except me of course. I am a pacifist and don't own any guns.
I think a lot of people are looking for a savior from this mess on earth we are facing. None of us as individuals will ever find a person to elect that thinks exactly as we do. We have to save ourselves by electing people that believe that we have the liberty to think as individuals.
Say good-night, Ben.
Say good-night, Ben.
Good point. I agree.
