I believe Dr Carson is tired of campaigning. He’s been saying some of the wackiest things.
My views on Carson: I don’t want him as POTUS.
But clearly he means to say “we need a database on every NON-CITIZEN in the country”, and I agree with him on that.
The difference of course is the Jews were not beheading, raping, murdering . . . .
Nothing wrong with nice comfortable "Sharia Camps" for Islamists, Jihadists..
while secular Muslims are accepted and protected. In my view.
Boy, is THAT a misleading headline!
Detestably low even by WaPo gutterball standards.
Passport Files on many Native Americans.
Actually, we do have a database on every citizen, and, yes, any visa holder or visitor to this country should be in a database.
For citizens we have social security numbers, school records, military record if applicable, work records, phone records, insurance records, etc., etc.
That’s a mountain of a database, a large part of it accessible only by warrant, but some of it such as Social Security and IRS, accessible without warrant.
Representative Maxine Water has said that Obama has a database on everyone that “you wouldn’t believe.” Perhaps he’ll bequeath it to Ben if he becomes President.
Let’s see....Social Security has had me since my birth. The Voter Registration folks have me. That means the Jury Pool database has me. The Census folks tell me that if I don’t answer their questions I can go to jail.
Both Oakland Police and the Alameda County Sheriff have got me, but that’s my own fault ;-)
I think I’m on no end of gub’ment databases....
He’s a wild and crazy guy. :-)
I don’t care for Carson very much, but this is so ridiculous. They figured they zapped Trump with a bunch of bad publicity through their misrepresentations today, so the WaPo decided why not try such a winning strategy on Carson? What Carson said about immigrants has nothing to do with universal surveillance. The WaPo is hoping people skimming through their rag of a paper won’t notice that’s not what Carson said. I really hope these tactics backfire on the press big time.
The government has a data base on everyone already, it is called the IRS, or the Social Security admin.
I would also hope they have info on those allowed in via immigration.
I'm sure they'll get right on it when they arrive.
It says what it says.
You know it’s bad for Carson when Carson wants something to do with something that Trump is denying he said.
Yeah. Just what I want. More power to the Feds to crawl up our collective a**es.
You wonder if some people have learned from the disaster that is the Patriot Act. Clearly Nitwit Carson has not.
A few questions later, one reporter noted that Carson had talked a lot about Nazi Germany, and asked whether "what Donald Trump said last night" reminded Carson of Nazi policies.
The press is not going to let the "Trump is Hitler" theme disappear. I hope Trump goes up in the polls because of their blatant lying (and horrible demeaning of real victims of the Holocaust through their silly comparisons).
There go the Liberaltarians out the door.
Did Carson take the brown acid at Woodstock or something? Geez Louise...
DB R US .. Ben.
IRS.. CIA.. WH.. Clinton Foundation..
Uhhh..
