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...
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.
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.
