President.

money and votes from the base.

'til he does what the rest of that field of miscreants wish they could and refers to himself as the
"n-word" running for president. That ought to really reach the base, though it could cause such a degree of cognitive dissonance as to render them incapacitated. The bar is not yet as low as it can go.

I read recently HC was getting checks of $1 million each at a recent gathering.

when we try to relate to the monied class.

Look at who is polling the highest,the most racist ones.

Peace

The Treaty of Tripoli (Treaty of Peace and Friendship between the United States of America and the Bey and Subjects of Tripoli of Barbary) was the first treaty concluded between the United States and Tripolitania, signed at Tripoli on November 4, 1796, and at Algiers (for a third-party witness) on January 3, 1797. It was submitted to the Senate by President John Adams, receiving ratification unanimously from the U.S. Senate on June 7, 1797, and signed by Adams, taking effect as the law of the land on June 10, 1797.

Art. 11. As the Government of the United States of America is not, in any sense, founded on the Christian religion; as it has in itself no character of enmity against the laws, religion, or tranquility, of Mussulmen (Muslims); and as the said States never entered into any war or act of hostility against any Mahometan (Mohammedan) nation, it is declared by the parties that no pretext arising from religious opinions shall ever produce an interruption of the harmony existing between the two countries.

All holy texts make claims about crime, punishment, war, human relationships and a whole host of other facets of social and political life that, if interpreted literally, cannot help but clash with the freedoms and frameworks of governance set out in the US constitution. A literal, fundamentalist reading of Islam – like Christianity, Judaism, or any other revealed faith – is thoroughly incompatible with the founding documents of this country.

Seemingly in Bennett (Carson's campaign manager) and Carson’s world, there are only two Islams: real Islam, which is violent and fundamentalist; and “Islam-lite” which is westernized, pleasant and diluted into inauthenticity. That is a position Carson actually shares with Isis and Islamic extremists around the globe. But whether voiced by violent extremists or US presidential candidates, that view of Islam is an ahistorical and lazy reading of both faith and history – and one that’s been increasingly, tragically popular in neoconservatives circles since September 11, 2001.

Pundits won’t be shy about drawing the connection between Carson’s comments and the saga of Kim Davis, whose willful disregard for the constitution on religious grounds and as an elected official been met with fawning adoration by many in the Republican field. To an extent this actually includes Carson, who offered Davis his support – however tepid and dissembling – in an appearance on The Kelly File.

Except there is, of course, no immediate danger of a Muslim fundamentalist becoming president of the US – but the same can’t be said for fundamentalist Christianity, which has deep and enduring roots in Carson’s Republican party.
