Appearing on Meet the Press, retired neurosurgeon and GOP presidential
candidate Ben Carson said that the faith of a potential president of the
U.S. matters and that he couldn’t see having a Muslim president.

Referring to GOP front runner Donald Trump’s town hall confrontation
with an anti-Muslim bigot, host Chuck Todd asked Carson, “Should a
president’s faith matter?”

“I guess it depends on what that faith is,” Carson replied. “If it is
inconsistent with the values and principles of America, then of course
it should matter.”

“Do you believe that Islam is consistent with the Constitution?” Todd
pressed.

“No, I do not,” Carson quickly replied. “I would not advocate that we
put a Muslim in charge of this nation. I absolutely would not.”

Harry defending religion in the white house. Lord you can take me now.
I have seen it all.



Actually, I am not defending religion...I am defending Article VI. I
don't give a damn whether the POTUS is "religious" or not, just so he or
she doesn't use "religion" to decide or propose policy.



Do you really think anyone who was a muslim (or any other
fundamentalist religion) wouldn't be affected at all by their faith?
Muslims may be the least tolerant of all of the faiths.



My comment was in defense of Article VI. Ben Carson is an overly
religious, intolerant crank, a genuine paranoid personality, probably
because of his religious beliefs. Is Carson, because of his religious
beliefs, more dangerous as a potential POTUS than the two lying,
nativist demagogues, Trump and Fiorina, who comprise the GOP's "Big
Three" at the moment? U.S. Congressman Keith Ellison, a Muslim, is more
rational and sane and less hate-filled than Carson, Trump, or Fiorinia.


Your comment was stupid.
