Ben Carson Likens Islamic State To American Patriots

"Political Correctness takes away the basic right to freedom of speech."



FYI - 'the government' did not fire donald stern or the duck dude... it's called the FREE market!

Political Correctness is not a Government Law.
It still chips away or freedom of speech.
You have to walk on eggs now in fear of saying something offence and you might be fired over it . It causes paranoia.
When society becomes paranoid enough it eventually turns into chaos, you then have to have a totalitarian type of Government.
We don't have a basic right of stopping offensive
In a free society people say offensive things all of the time, people should never get upset over it and try to stomp it out.This is the exact opposite of freedom.
It has gotten so bad that you can't hardly say anything for fear of being offensive.
Yet it has been going on in this nation for many, many years....

Nah, freedom of speech has never been more alive and well.

Carson (and anyone else) is free to say whatever non-PC thing they want. They don't go to jail for it.

Or is YOUR idea of freedom of speech that the first guy gets to say whatever he wants but the second guy is not allowed to say the first guy was full of crap - or a racist - or a homophobe or whatever HE wants to say about the first guy?

You guys seem to have a very weird idea about free speech.

You have to laugh sometimes about how dopey Republicans really are. They have no idea what freedom of speech actually means.

they get so emotional and defensive they just can't see how silly the 'PC' boogieman really is!
 
Fox news is the communications wing of the GOP - this is bad news for Carson.

He was talking about the commitment to a cause as opposed to no commitment and no cause. Carson was very clear to point out the ISIS cause is flat wrong. It's a pretty dishonest criticism from Fox. I know, it should surprise no one that a dishonest criticism should come from Fox - but what is a little surprising is that it indicates that Carson is sliding out of favor with the GOP. How come?

As like Cruz, Lee, and Gohmert, he can't be BOUGHT! People of principle are few on the Republican side, and non-existent on the DemocRAT side! As an example...

Or maybe some GOP henchmen were doing some research and found an old statutory rape charge or something and decided to burn him before THAT got out. Who knows?

We could both speculate until we are blue in the face about why the GOP establishment is going after him - but until either of us can come up with some evidence to support our speculation, it is not very useful.

I thought it would be a DemocRAT that bought off a few hookers to testify against him... but that's already been done with a black Republican candidate! Worked once, and as we know, they go with a proven strategy!

thanks for the illustration of how horrible a diplomat ted cruz would be...





THE PRESIDENT: Good morning. Every day, all across the world, American diplomats and civilians work tirelessly to advance the interests and values of our nation. Often, they are away from their families. Sometimes, they brave great danger.


Yesterday, four of these extraordinary Americans were killed in an attack on our diplomatic post in Benghazi. Among those killed was our Ambassador, Chris Stevens, as well as Foreign Service Officer Sean Smith. We are still notifying the families of the others who were killed. And today, the American people stand united in holding the families of the four Americans in our thoughts and in our prayers.


The United States condemns in the strongest terms this outrageous and shocking attack. We're working with the government of Libya to secure our diplomats. I've also directed my administration to increase our security at diplomatic posts around the world. And make no mistake, we will work with the Libyan government to bring to justice the killers who attacked our people.


Since our founding, the United States has been a nation that respects all faiths. We reject all efforts to denigrate the religious beliefs of others. But there is absolutely no justification to this type of senseless violence. None. The world must stand together to unequivocally reject these brutal acts.

...

As Americans, let us never, ever forget that our freedom is only sustained because there are people who are willing to fight for it, to stand up for it, and in some cases, lay down their lives for it. Our country is only as strong as the character of our people and the service of those both civilian and military who represent us around the globe.

No acts of terror will ever shake the resolve of this great nation, alter that character, or eclipse the light of the values that we stand for. Today we mourn four more Americans who represent the very best of the United States of America. We will not waver in our commitment to see that justice is done for this terrible act. And make no mistake, justice will be done.

But we also know that the lives these Americans led stand in stark contrast to those of their attackers. These four Americans stood up for freedom and human dignity. They should give every American great pride in the country that they served, and the hope that our flag represents to people around the globe who also yearn to live in freedom and with dignity.

We grieve with their families, but let us carry on their memory, and let us continue their work of seeking a stronger America and a better world for all of our children.

Thank you. May God bless the memory of those we lost and may God bless the United States of America.

Unlike the State Run Medias handling of Democrats, Fox holds Republicans accountable.

Crazy Uncle Joe Biden is half a pedophile and no one says a peep. Can you imagine the outcry if Dick Cheney went Aqualung on some little girl? Can you imagine the outcry if Jeb Bush met his chief fund raiser on Lolita Island 27 different times to tap some underage pussy? Liz Warren is certifiable and based her entire adult life on a known lie but instead of being shamed into retirement she's going to end up being the Dem Nominee in 2016.
You sound like a lunatic. Do you also admire ISIS like Carson appears to do?

I read the quote, he doesn't admire ISIS, you have to be a fucking illiterate to read it that way
LMAO. He's toast. You might as well admit it. Jebbie is the only credible candidate you nutters have to put forward. The primary season is going to be awesome!

Be fun watching Hillary's concession speech

LOL at liberals that think conservatives give a fuck what they think about their candidates. You need to focus on your own shit and try to figure out what happened last November.

Be easier to just swiftboat him

No, Ben didn't LIE to a Congressional committee during the 1970's as the DemocRAT Sec. of State did!

seriously. That guy needs to scooped-up by a Repub-created, DHS black van to be tortured ..... errr..... interrogated.
 
Political Correctness Has Gone too Far
In recent decades, our culture has lost much of what we once valued as Americans: common courtesy and basic freedoms. We have begun to compromise our morals by restricting our thoughts, beliefs, feelings, and viewpoints, and letting new norms take their place.
In doing so, we are conforming to the societal concept of political correctness. In rare form a political correct nature can be a positive quality. Speaking and acting in a considerate manner to others is not bad, but only to a point. After a while, political correctness becomes detrimental. Today, it no longer works with the diversity of our culture but against it

This is what Ben Carson is talking about losing our values.

Political correctness has begun to invade our private lives. Companies now have strict policies on what their employees can and cannot say, schools have limited the content of their curriculum and censured topics that can be discussed in class, and many commonly-used words and phrases are no longer socially acceptable. Time is no longer cited in Before Christ (B.C.) and Anni Domini (A.D.), but Common Era (C.E.) and Before Common Era (B.C.E); janitors are now custodial engineers even though no engineering degree is required; criminals are now the behaviorally challenged; illegal aliens have become undocumented immigrants; and the word ugly is now visually challenging.
 
Carson was explaining the inevitable victory of jihad. They are willing to die for their beliefs. The west has fully adopted "Imagine". Nothing to kill or die for. Unless we find something to fight for, we will be subjected to islamic rule.

I guess that's what makes Christianity, the religion of loving your enemies and turning the other cheek,

a religion doomed to fail.
 
"We have begun to compromise our morals by restricting our thoughts, beliefs, feelings, and viewpoints, and letting new norms take their place."

Nope. Everyone is still free to say whatever they want. No one gets thrown in jail.

The fact that OTHERS are free to respond in whatever way THEY choose underscores the fact that freedom of speech is alive and well.

If you think a person should be able to say whatever they want and that others are NOT free to respond with their opinion, then you have a very warped view of what "Freedom of Speech" really is.

A cheek is one thing, my subversive friend, giving up ones life is entirely different!
 
"he said as Republican officials from across the country interrupted him with applause."

Wow. Republican officials applauded him for comparing ISIS to our revolution?


apparently the invisible 'PC' beast is just way too terrifying for the GOP...


"They got the wrong philosophy, but they're willing to die for what they believe, while we are busily giving away every belief and every value for the sake of political correctness,"
I guess. I wonder if the Republicans are signalling their support for ISIS or signalling that they will die to rid the world of PCism.

Neither.
Many Americans have lost what it means to be an American which is our very basic belief's and values (our principals).
What are our principals?
The main purpose of our Government is to secure our rights.
Political Correctness takes away the basic right to freedom of speech.
Rights are natural and negative
There cannot be a natural right to health care. Making health care a right requires infringing upon your rights and the rights of others. Aches and pains are natural but there is no natural right that someone must tend to your every ache or pain. To take resources (money, labor or goods) from one to give to another violates our natural right to our own property. For the government to force you to buy something that is not for the purpose of protecting the rights of another.
PC is not a law. It hasn't taken away anyone's rights. You, just like everyone else, is allowed to spout whatever idiotic nonsense you wish to spout.

I never said it was a law but yes it has taken away people's rights.
Saying Merry Christmas is now offensive and we need to call it Happy Holidays. That takes away the whole meaning of Celebrating Christ's Birth and takes away the rights of Christians because it's offensive to unbelievers and Muslims.
what it really does is make you, personally, a coward. I say Merry Christmas all the time.

He should campaign on that tried and true GOP platform: if the darkies can call each other *******, why can't the white people call them *******.

:thup:

Me too - and my company runs "Merry Christmas" advertising as well.
