I agree with you, but he doesn’t listen to me! LOL
No, analogy fail. And they’ve not done anything to 2A rights.
2 more analogy fails.
There is NOTHING to indicate that Carson would be so radical on guns that he would veto pro gun legislation. At least not yet.
And when Reagan won, Republicans could not possibly win the House. Times are different.
Oh for 2.
Don’t like surprises?
You need to go ahead and set an appt with your death panel then.
you missed my point. I’ll type slower next time.
Me either.
Well, there's a complete non-sequitur.
“he just does not want guns in the inner cities”
Enough said. That makes him against the 2nd amendment.
I agree that the usual political development is not there; but he was head of department in one of the best teaching hospitals in the world, dealing with huge egos all the time. That's at least as good as being mayor of Wasila, and lots better than being a community organizer.
I agree with others above who believe he would make a worthy addition to the cabinet. It may also be that if he were nominated, he would be the lesser of two evils, experience or no. I could never pass him by for someone like Hillary or Warren.
I agree with your observation there. But I think Carson is an "always learning" type of person, and he could learn more about this issue in traveling to areas out West, for instance. He has lived or worked in cities all his life until recently.
The third leg, maybe when it comes to street thugs. Keep them from having numerous offspring on welfare.
He is spot on if the darn LEO would go back to shotguns.
Howard Dean, M.D., former presidential candidate and former head of DNC, did had political experience, but in a relatively small state. Senator Tom Coburn was a doctor when first elected to Congress and has continued to keep his license active. Rand Paul is a doctor who did not run for the junior Senator position until his father ran for president and he participated in speechmaking.
One of the best things about Carson is that he is not a political ideologue and not a radical for the sake of being radical. He is a scientist who believes that there are truthful principles in the universe and in nature, and those truths should not be ignored in favor of political correctness. He has openly disdained political correctness and believes it is on the short list of things that are killing our constitutional system.
no, it’s not - it escaped you perhaps.....
Now that I could support :D
14” barrel no choke!!!
Now that would be quite something.
No one is immune from human failure; however, this man has gotten to where he is by a very disciplined approach to living with humility. He has said that he starts every day by reading the Book of Proverbs. His autobiographical books have always stressed the practical application of Christian principles in life. I've had the privilege of meeting him and his family on a couple of occasions. Very gracious people. He and his wife have run a charity for years to help kids who are struggling. With his proceeds from a career in groundbreaking neurosurgery, he could have spent his money on lavish living; but he has not.
Similar to Ross Perot's position of wanting to go door to door in the black neighborhoods to confiscate the guns from black Texans.
Candidates who want to separate blacks and Americans who live in cities from the second amendment, are revealing a streak of dangerous internal nuttiness, a fatal flaw that should disqualify them from consideration.
Big woop. I get tired of those who wet their pants at the slightest hint of conservatism from a black guy. Who cares? There are a lot more experienced (although 0 wasn't very experienced and he got elected) and solidly conservative white candidates to get excited over Carson. So what if he's black? Blacks are only 12.6% of the population, and frankly even if there were a black conservative Republican candidate 95% of the blacks would vote for the democrat anyway.
I don't want to "reach out" to people who only want to take advantage of me by plundering the fruits of my labor. Screw them. Let them work for a living like I do. Let them get their dirty sh!t hooks off my guns. Let them start reigning in the police excesses that we hear of daily. MAYBE the govt will get the idea that is is the servant of the people, not a collection of elite nobility whom the little people should support their every stupid whim.
