Carson on Muslims politically expedient?
Posted: Sep 20, 2015
sort of the way of some other documents...they pick and choose. Constitution doesn't work that way, particularly when running for POTUS. Now, this probably won't matter much, considering the audience he is playing to.
In his NBC interview, Carson was asked: “So do you believe that Islam is consistent with the constitution?”
“No,” he said, “I don’t, I do not.”
Article VI of the US constitution states: “No religious Test shall ever be required as a Qualification to any Office or public Trust under the United States.”
The first amendment to the constitution begins: “Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof …”

of the Islamic community standing up and speaking out about the problems in the Islamic world. They don't have the courage.
Of course the Islamic leaders aren't going to speak out against anything - they value their heads. If you like your head - you can keep your head.
My favorite thing about Islam is its acceptance of the - gay lifestyle. Oh wait...

Our current president is what happens when loyalty is - to Islam rather than the Constitution,
[ In Reply To ..]
We could not have picked a more un-American president.
In fairness he didn't say that Muslims should not be allowed to be president, he said he couldn't support one for president. Quite frankly, I'm more concerned about a secularist. Secularism is more dangerous to a society than any specific religious faith.
Exactly. Obama is the first Muslim President. - Hopefully the last. No Muslims in the WH!!

No bigotry on my part.
A lot of leftist don't mind that he's a Muslim, not because - of this faith, but they hate Christians

more. Islam doesn't believe in homosexuality, not a lot of other things. Look how women have to dress. Talk about war on women!
I wonder how many liberals who are okay with Islam - would actually LIVE in Iran or

Saudi Arabia, or any other Muslim country. I think not.

But they already have. A secular religion.
"or prohibiting the free exercise thereof" Tell that to Kim Davis.
Yes, hopefully K. Davis will be arrested again - THIS WEEK

She should be recalled for not doing the job she was hired to do and now falsifying documents. Her position does not afford her to make these decisions, she is to execute the documents. If I were her clerks I would all call in sick and force her into the position of doing her job or being relieved of duty (jail or recall), so that life could get back to normal in the Rowan County Clerk's office, WITHOUT her.
There is a higher law than the secular religion - we now have by government.

NEW school prayer: Now I sit me down in schook, where praying - is against the rule. For this great nation
[ In Reply To ..]
under God, finds mention of Him very odd.
If scripture now the class recites, it violates the Bill of Rights.
And anytime my head I bow
Becomes a Federal matter now.
Our hair can be purple, orange or green,
That's no offense; it's a freedom scene..
The law is specific, the law is precise.
Prayers spoken aloud are a serious vice.
For praying in a public hall
Might offend someone with no faith at all. . In silence alone we must meditate,
God's name is prohibited by the State..
We're allowed to cuss and dress like freaks,
And pierce our noses, tongues and cheeks.. . They've outlawed guns, but FIRST the Bible.
To quote the Good Book makes me liable.
We can elect a pregnant Senior Queen,
And the 'unwed daddy,' our Senior King. It's 'inappropriate' to teach right from wrong,
We're taught that such 'judgments' do not belong..
We can get our condoms and birth controls,
Study witchcraft, vampires and totem poles...
But the Ten Commandments are not allowed,
No word of God must reach this crowd.
It's scary here I must confess,
When chaos reigns the school's a mess.
So, Lord, this silent plea I make:
Should I be shot; My soul please take!
Amen

They are appointed by the President and serve for a lifetime.
I think that law should be changed. This is why the courts, especially the Supreme Court, can do whatever they want and decipher the Constitution and any law any way they want. They now judge by their preferences and ideals instead of constitutional law.
Funny how leftists require everyone to swear - conformity with their chosen

Rep Andre CarsonAug 31, 2011I understand the tea party group is pretty unpopular these days, but is this really a fair assessment? IMO, the majority of the tea party members do not want to return to a day of slavery or lynching and it's completely unfair to group all the tea party members in with a few that might be racist. I don't always agree with the tea party, especially the freshman members in congress, but I'd be willing to bet none of them want to hang anyone from a tree.
