Ben Carson: Gay Marriage Is A Marxist Plot To Impose The ‘New World Order’

At the National Organization for Marriage’s March for Marriage gala last week, Dr. Ben Carson explained how Marxists are using LGBT rights to destroy American unity and impose the “New World Order,” because of course. Carson told the audience earlier that gay-rights opponents are the real victims of “injustice” because they just want to be “left alone.”

He asked, “When we talk about liberty and justice for all, doesn’t that mean that people can be left alone, that no-one else gets to change definitions on them and change life for them?”

Because apparently, dissent is anti-American.

“They have no right to say to me that I must change the way I think in order to accommodate what they believe,” he said. “That’s where the injustice comes from, and we have to understand that.”

And no, Dr. Carson wasn’t talking about Open Carry groups parading around in family friendly restaurants with weapons strapped across their backs. He was talking about being born gay and how that’s an imposition on the lives of homophobes — because of the New World Order, naturally.

I guess it was through good screen writing and editing that they made him seem like a caring and intelligent human being. Everything I have seen since makes me think he is a real asshole.

Some people can be fine, even admirable, in some areas, and turn into blinkered assholes in a different setting or on a different subject.

This seems especially likely when it involves abstracts. "Marxists"?

I guess it is hard to comprehend someone could help someone in such an intensive way, and then been so against people loving one another. Blickered asshole seems like a good term for that!

“They have no right to say to me that I must change the way I think in order to accommodate what they believe,” he said. “That’s where the injustice comes from, and we have to understand that.”

They are so closed-minded that they can't even tolerate another opinion without suffering an "injustice".

Is Dr. Carson even remotely aware of what is being done to LGBT people by real Marxists in Russia today?

Nothing that comes out of NOM is ever going to teach us anything useful, unless it's about our capacity for shameless pandering.

I was merely taking Carson's ridiculous argument to its most extreme conclusion.

By the way: I've been a DU member since 2001, and I believe your post is the first and only time I've ever been accused of racism. Thanks for absolutely nothing. I think an apology from you would be appropriate.

I guess an education does not prevent ignorance.
