Came across this and watched, his responses were quite lucid and not really Liberal in the larger sense at all. The only point that may need discussion is the Guest worker (Eisenhower) program for some Illegals
“Not really liberal”????
Still a color merchant, there is no changing that.
Been there done that. No thanks. (Not just no, but Hell no.)
His liberal views aren’t so nice- He believes in withholding care from elderly who need care, stating he thinks there should be a panel of docs who decide which elderly get treatment and which don’t-
[[Our mind-set is to automatically pull out all medical stops—even if that means literally torturing loved ones during their last few months of life. What if rather than always putting terminally ill patients in intensive care units—where we poke, prod, test, and operate ad nauseum—we allowed most people the dignity of dying in relative peace and comfort, at home, surrounded by loved ones, with hospice care or some other medical attendant if necessary? Agreement on who should be treated and who should not be treated would require an extensive national discussion that could hopefully result in some helpful basic guidelines. Obviously any such guidelines should allow for flexibility and choice. And decisions should be based not merely on age but on the viability of the patient. (From his 1999 book, The Big Picture.)]]
He believes in amnesty-
He’s anti-War (being a 7’th day Adventist)
He’s for gun control, albeit not total- but again he thinks there should be panels of people deciding who can and can’t own guns
There’s more but can’t remember right now- too late to think
So you’re pro-amnesty too?
Didn’t realize the interview was on PeeWee Herman or I would have never started to watch.

CARSON also has ‘evolving’ views on abortion. Could it be his original sentiments is affecting his candidacy?
BEN CARSON - ON SOCIAL ISSUES
Carson has expressed support for same-sex civil unions, and following the Supreme Court’s ruling legalizing gay marriage in all 50 states, he conceded the fight was over by declaring the ruling the “law of the land.” (Newsmax)
Despite maintaining a strong pro-life record, in a 1992 interview, Dr. Carson said that while he does not perform abortions, he personally referred women seeking abortions to other doctors. In the same interview, he said that he “would never advocate it’s illegal for a person to get an abortion.” (Baltimore Sun)
Dr. Carson co-authored a medical research paper in 1992 where he outlined his support for the use of aborted baby organs for research purposes. Carson defended his past statements, saying, “To not use the tissue that is in a tissue bank, regardless of where it comes from, would be foolish. Why would anybody not do that?”
Numerous conservatives have expressed that by providing the demand that abortion providers will supply the market and that participating in this practice is being complicit. (Life Site News)
As revelations came to light about Dr. Carson referring the mothers of unborn children with potential birth defects to abortionists, his campaign defended the practice. A campaign spokesman said, “he [Carson] believes in quality medical care, No. 1, and secondly, he believes in people making their own decisions based on facts and information.” Pressed on whether Carson stands by his decision to do so, the same spokesman said yes. The statement is particularly troubling given that pro-abortion proponents use similar language regarding a decision between the patient and their doctor, but not mentioning the life of the child. (Politico)
Since news surfaced of a 1992 research paper co-authored by Dr. Carson that included the use of fetal tissue, Caron’s stance on abortion has come under immense scrutiny and his defense of his previous medical decisions has been troubling to many in the pro-life movement. When asked if Carson stands by his past decision to refer patients to abortion doctors, Carson’s Communications Director said “He believes in quality medical care, No. 1, and secondly, he believes in people making their own decisions based on facts and information.”Additionally, the spokesman went on to say that Carson believes that you can’t stop abortion by making it illegal. The spokesman told Politico, “he [Carson] has always believed that the battle over abortion had to be waged in the hearts and minds of Americans, that you cannot legislate morality. But he also believes we’re winning the debate.” (Politico)
In the 1990s, Carson was a board member of the Baltimore Charitable Foundation which gave $200,000 in grants to Planned Parenthood. When confronted with this fact, and asked if Carson knew about the grants a spokesman said, “it doesn’t really matter.” (Politico)
When asked if he would support abortion in the case of incest or rape, Dr. Carson said, “I would hope that they would very quickly avail themselves of the emergency room, and in the emergency room, they have the ability to administer RU-486 and other possibilities before you have a developing fetus.” RU-486 is an abortifacient that kills a fertilized egg by artificially denying it the ability to attach to the uterine wall. Using Dr. Carson’s own standard of life beginning at conception, this would then constitute murder. (Politico)
During the campaign Dr. Carson has struggled to define when he believes life begins. He told ABC News that life begins “when the heart starts beating” but later clarified that he meant conception. (Politico)

IF we have a guest worker program, it would need to be VERY tightly monitored.
Guest workers is how Europe went down.

Death Panels
.............................................................
Straight out of Obamacare, some panel deciding who lives and who dies. The ELITES will of course, be exempt from such panels.
“And decisions should be based not merely on age but on the viability of the patient.” (From his 1999 book, The Big Picture.)]]
It sounds to me like Dr. Carson would put more than just the elderly under the microscope of the death panels. Viability?
I wonder just what that word would mean to a political machine that decides such things. This man is way down the path of reasoning that was traversed by the Nazis.
No not at all!!!!
It was just an interesting exchange and it allows us to take a clear position which many here have done and seeing this condensed Q&A saves us all time...
Rather than skipping all over to find nibbles, all in one..
I am not at all convinced he is the right VP and surely not Prez!!
I’m convinced he’s not the right answer, and the sooner GOP voters wise up (hopefully before the Iowa caucuses) the better.
Exactly0- the very thing that Sarah Palin warned about, and which the lame stream media ridiculed her for-
Carson evidently supports the very thing that the left declared was a fantasy-
Thanks S&S- He’s definitely not the conservative He’s portraying himself to be-
I’m all for candidates who have a change of mind on issues- but it appears the only reason Carson appears to have had a change of mind is in order to get the conservative vote-
I also don’t like his ‘black privilege’ mentality, when he blamed the cop in fuergeson and sided with the protestors, claiming the protestors had a legitimate beef and that they had a right to do what they were doing basically- We’ve just been through 7 years of a racist president fomenting hatred between Americans and police- we don’t need another 8 years of this-
Of course even if hilarious becomes president she’ll continue the black/white divide as well-
When is the Caucus?
Too busy to keep track but I think the GOPe has that as his make or break moment in the “heartland” and hope for the “flyovers” to see where the other city rascals come from and what they are peddlin
“See, middle America Loves him...”
Makes me ill just typin that....
It’s February 1st.
Yeah, let’s hope Trump’s GOTV effort sets all-time records for the caucus. IMO there are far too many low-info, vote-sounds-the-most-religious GOP voters in Iowa—and the GOPe takes advantage of that with pretend candidates like Carson.
