There are some big issues where he is not conservative at all

Apparently (tongue in cheek) a conservative is a bombastic egotistical think-skinned vulgar petulant child-like person who loves themselves by putting others down while also loving low-class stuff like Mylie Cyrus and government healthcare, Kelo, ENDA and talks abut themselves ad naseum.

:p

Raise your hand if you really believe Ben Carson has a ghost of a chance agains’t Donald Trump for the GOP nomination. :-)

No thanks. He has some negatives. He has led a very interesting life but that does not a President make. Trump and Cruz are better. He would not get in the face of others like Trump does. We need a fighter.

“He wants amnesty and gun control. That’s no Conservative, fool!”

And forced vaccinations without exceptions.

You don’t seem to be aware that Trump is as pro illegals as anyone with his empty talk about sending only the bad ones back.

Not only amnesty and gun restrictions, but my greatest fear would be his wanting mandatory vaccinations.
Having 2 kids with extremely bad reactions to said vaccinations I’d rather see them eliminated but at least a choice to be able to “pick your ‘poison” so to speak.
Not to mention that 60% of vaccines today are made with fetal tissue.
Can’t see a loving God, who says that he has plans for his wee ones while they are still in the womb, putting His blessing on this misuuse of them.

Carson has come out as being on board The Cheap Labor Express.

There is nothing conservative about abandoning the rule of law.

That explains the MSM's sudden fondness for him.

They realize their entire global socialist utopia hinges on overwhelming the west, and America, with benighted third worlders. Its why they will NEVER accept border controls.

Never. Stopping them will take force.

Thanks for your attention to the contents of the post. Oh, if some leader would emerge who understood the ideas of liberty as did America’s founding generations!

I know! First, the use of our wonderful language forces one to think and reflect. The ideas and inspirations stir up my brain, which, as I get older, needs more stirring - less reacting.

Thank you for posting!

Well, I wish them all luck .. I’m voting for and supporting Ted Cruz.

Ted Cruz has been more vocal (on the most important issues) than most of the rest of the candidates (except for Trump). Ted is hated because he’s always willing to stand for principle instead of capitulating to the DemocRATS.

While Trump may be loud and brash; I’d have to say, he has been able to accomplish quite an empire of prosperous buildings all around the world. So, to intimate that he’s all “loud mouth” is a bit disingenuous.

However, I’m one of those who ALWAYS votes. I refuse to cede my vote to the DemocRATS, just because the candidate is not my very favorite.

The main reason the media likes Carson. He was a democrat for years. Then became a republican, then an independent when he got mad at the way republicans were treating Bill Clinton. So what can we take from this. We know he voted for Clinton, he all but admits it, and I would be willing to bet he voted for ZERO in 2008.

http://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2014/nov/4/ben-carson-officially-switches-parties-returns-gop/

“Mr. Carson said he switched to being an independent about 15 to 20 years ago after getting a “sour taste” watching Republicans who had their own personal foibles impeach President Clinton over an extramarital affair. “I just saw so much hypocrisy in both parties,” .

Re; black fixation and black lives matter
Carson is a black republican candidate for POTUS which unfortunately places an importance on him simply because he is such. Particularly since that segment as a group is creating strife where members of other races are being attacked and murdered in racial attacks by blacks

Carson while discussing “matters” fails to do what Walker did yesterday and attacked Obama for his use of the “Bully Pulpit” to inflame black passions and but remains silent in quelling them. The question I have about Carson is after a black LEO, Sheriff Clarke of Milwaukee has the his governor, Walker, share his observations of Obama’s machinations. Does Carson even understand what Obama is really up to and why he’s creating this division of races ?

Unfortunately because the focus was on Trump. Walker’s condemnation never made it to the front page or even get a mention. There should no doubt that Walker is getting a freeze job by the media and when they do they mislead his positions like the great border wall of Canada.
