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.” - - - "...no religious test shall ever be required as a qualification to any office or public trust under the United States." - Art. VI, Para. 3, Constitution of the United States of America. Harry defending religion in the white house. Lord you can take me now. I have seen it all. There is no conflict between what Carson said and the Constitution. Carson was presenting his personal views, not an interpretation of the Constitution or law. I submit that a lot of people probably agree with him right now, which is probably why he said what he said. If a Muslim was refused nomination papers based on his/her religion, that would be illegal. But, that's not what the doc said. It's really really humorous watching you dancing around on the head of a pin as you justify your swing to the crazy right. When someone who wants to be POTUS expresses his views on a Constitutional issue, it's just a teeny bit more than a personal view, eh? Read the definition of 'advocate', dummy. Carson used that word, not the word 'prohibit'. Get your head out of your ass for a change. === Be careful what you ask for. :-) Donnie will be the first to feel the aftermath of that dangerous move. |
