It’s always fun to be lectured by stuffed shirt Cal Thomas.

Maybe we could make it a board game.=, like Trivial Pursuit.

Obama is a coward who will not speak to people that do not worship him. He won’t sit and listen to people who do not worship him. Dr Carson had an opportunity to say something that needed to be said to The Won and he said it. An apology would be inappropriate.

Charles Krauthammer and Cal Thomas are legends in their own minds. They want to be the official spokesmen for the gripes that conservatives have about the destruction of our nation, but they lack vision and courage to suggest a plan of attack against its enemies.

The response to Dr. Carson shows that millions are hungry for leadership in the right direction, not simply content to bemoan the wrong direction that Obama has taken.

> According to Thomas: “Our politics have become so polarized and corrupted that a president of the United States cannot even attend an event devoted to drawing people closer to God and bridge partisan and cultural divides without being lectured about his policies

Our politics have become so polarized and corrupted that a citizen cannot speak the truth about a tyrant without being demonized by the media, having the government investigate or threaten his finances, liberty, or even his life. That Obama attends an breakfast prayer event when he clearly despises God and embraces atheism, Islam, and homosexuality is an abomination and blasphemy of the event.

Thomas, sit down and shut up.

Maybe if so called conservative pundits started to show some backbone and spoke out against the commie/socialist takeover of the country, we wouldn’t be in this mess.

Another Obama lickspittle has been heard from.

Cal’s breathtakingly stupid comment assumes A: that Obama was really interested in worshipping God at the breakfast and B: that Carson is at fault for all of this polarization.

This may be Thomas’ worst career moment.

And he then expressed optimism about Americans being able to solve our problems because “we are smart” and that “we have some of the most intellectually gifted people leading our nation.”

Very well stated, my thoughts exactly. Like Cal Thomas said “ if the shoe fits, wear it” I didn’t know Cal was still around.

Every one of these supposedly “conservative”columnists, have been around front and center since I was old enough to vote, and they are still stuck on stupid. The only want to get along and could care less about anything else. Just look what they did to Andrew Breitbart, because he dared to tell the truth. that should tell you all you need to know about these appeasers to Marxism. The main goal is to keep the game going as long as possible, without any regards for truth, right and wrong, or We the People.

an abomination and blasphemy of the event...

You nailed it. Thank you for verbalizing for me.

If Cal Thomas actually said such an asinine thing, then I’m embarrassed on his behalf.

I am not a big fan of Fox anymore (would rather watch Duck Dynasty) but I happened by Hannity and Dr Ben Carson was on , I stayed until he was over (1 hour) and it made my night, the Dr. is well worth listening to as far as I can tell. I thought he was right on and we need more like him in DC .

Cal Thomas is still more concerned with appearing above the fray than with saving the republic.

No apology necessary to a man who is intentionally destroying our nation.

It seems that Mr. Thomas hasn’t heard about the way Conservatives are being treated by the three branches of government; Mr. Harry Reid, President Obama, and the Mainstream Press.

Civil discourse is out the window when Progressives prance about like special creatures with long noses who look down upon those who disagree with them.

In the face of such toxicity it is refreshing to see and hear an accomplished man like the good doctor make reference to The Creator and His written word.

The question is, since when is it an affront or an insult to cite Scripture, of all places, at a prayer breakfast?

It’s only an affront when the hearers cringe just as a vampire does, in horror fastasies, at the sight of a crucifix.

IMHO

Carson had (has) a right to say what he wants... the ‘President’ has the right to walk out of the room.

Can't take the heat? Get out of the kitchen!

If what Carson (or any OTHER free citizen of this country) has to say rankles, then "O" only has to say so and (if he's able) make a denial or challenge. It's the bully pulpit and if ‘O’ doesn't recognize or comprehend how to use power (except to weigh in on BS celebrity arguments) then he shouldn't be ‘President’!!

What happened to Cal Thomas? Another wolf in sheep clothing?

We’ve seen this before where aging conservatives go mushy-headed for a variety of reasons. Other evidence includes doing a regular column with lib pol Bob Beckel in USA Today. He can still turn the occasional phrase and have some insights that remind us of the old firebrand.
