I was beginning to like Carson, but he turns out to be just another republican with no backbone. He caves to liberal pressure and takes back what he said, which was 100% the truth about sodomite "marriage". Will there ever be a republican that is not scared of the media? Santorum and Palin are the only ones I can think of and they are always marginalized.

Rush discussed a study this past week that stated apologizing is bad and makes people feel bad. Apparently NOT apologizing is empowering. Perhaps some Republicans need to try this strategy.

Can anyone tell me a time when Patton, MacArthur or Eisenhower or even Truman, after dropping the bombs on Japan, ever apologized? Patton, MacArthur and Eisenhower probably should’ve apologized for the 1932 Bonus Army deaths under their leadership, but I bet none of them went to their graves regretting anything they did.

Never apologize to the left.

Never.

And beside that, homosexuality IS a sexual perversion, and as such it IS like bestiality, pedophilia, necrophilia, polyamory, incest and any other number of bizarre and odd behaviors that provide sexual gratification in UNNATURAL ways.

Blood is in the water and the piranha will feed until no flesh remains.

He isn’t ready for politics in this country, not even close.

What he said was the truth. Yet he caved. I’m appalled by his apology.

Buh-bye, Ben.
It was a fun fad for 15 minutes.

For anyone who hasn’t seen his autobiography, it will be on tonight. “Gifted Hands: the Ben Carson Story” on LMN, Lifetime Movie Network at 8 pm and 12 am. I really enjoyed it before I was aware of who he was.

Maybe he is trying to take away the story from the success of the graduates. His decision to do. I would much rather see him not apologizing. He is certainly a good person. He just does not understand the depth of hate of the left wingers because he is not a hateful man. I’d say this is a very telling experience in his life to recieve this kind of public and private hate.

Good Lord, hasn’t he already groveled over this?

He was right and he should never have apologized at all. Though some conservatives still hold out against homo marriage, it’s rare to find one who will speak the truth about homosexuality itself——and stick to it.

Apologizing for telling the truth shows how weak he is

So, for a Sodomite to be compared to a Pedophile is offensive. Who would have thunk it. My only question is which one of the two perverts is offended?

This must have been what it was like to live in Sodom or Gommorah...

Soon...soon they will demand people like Carson ...come out and have sex with them, not just approve of their lifestyle.

They kept bringing pressure on Lot and moved forward to break down the door. But the men inside reached out and pulled Lot back into the house and shut the door. Then they struck the men who were at the door of the house, young and old, with blindness so that they could not find the door.

Judges 19:13-27 While they were enjoying themselves, some of the wicked men of the city surrounded the house. Pounding on the door, they shouted to the old man who owned the house, “Bring out the man who came to your house so we can have sex with him.” The owner of the house went outside and said to them, “No, my friends, don’t be so vile. Since this man is my guest, don’t do this disgraceful thing. Look, here is my virgin daughter, and his concubine. I will bring them out to you now, and you can use them and do to them whatever you wish. But to this man, don’t do such a disgraceful thing.” But the men would not listen to him. So the man took his concubine and sent her outside to them, and they raped her and abused her throughout the night, and at dawn they let her go. At daybreak the woman went back to the house where her master was staying, fell down at the door and lay there until daylight. When her master got up in the morning and opened the door of the house and stepped out to continue on his way, there lay his concubine, fallen in the doorway of the house, with her hands on the threshold. (NIV)

The story of Lot and the story from Judges. But...what is really going on here? What is the real connection? It isn’t about homosexuality really. Homosexuality isn’t about sex...it is about power.

From the base of power, what is happening now with the gay agenda has nothing to do with the ‘sex of the matter.’

Carson has now been neutered by the Left.

Dr. Ben Carson will continue to be on my list of folks I am interested in.

Our true enemies would like us to immediately dump him.... I will not. However, I too am sick of our side apologizing for ANYTHING, but I believe Carson continues to deserve our attention and further evaluation.

As for Saintorum... LMAO... that clown will never win an election.

True. Enough with the apologies already. Get in politics armed for total war, or stay out.

He’s finished. The rats own him now.

Apologies are a sign of weakness. Now it looks like Carson is just another weak kneed GOPe.

Y'all can have him.

Big Whoop

So he apologizes. Did he say he no longer felt that way? He was right, and knows it. If he does run for president, you know the statement would be used as ammo in 2016. Better to apologize now, then have to explain his comments made three years from now.

No backbone? Sure look like he had a backbone when speaking at the National Prayer Breakfast.

If Dr. Carson has any future political aspirations, he should consult one George Allen, who apologized repeatedly and profusely after the “macaca” gaffe. One should always ..... ALWAYS understand the left is not grounded in a Christian spirit of forgiveness. The will instead feast on your entrails as you blunber out apologies and grovel for mercy. Apologizing is seen by the left as not humanity but weakness. NEVER apologize to them.
