Ben Carson has also said that no Muslim should be President. Substitute the
word :Jew" for that and how does it sound to you? He may sound better than
Donald Trump, but that's not saying much. I'd say that the best Republican
candidate we have is Hillary Clinton because the Republicans, as a sane,
respectable party, don't exist anymore. The Democratic Party is what the
Republicans used to be. Bernie Sanders and the Congressional Progressive
Caucus are what the Democratic party used to be. Back in those days, the
Democratic Party had a southern wing which included all the racists.
However, Reagan's southern strategy incorporated the southern wing of the
Democratic Party into the current Republican Party.

All:

I happened to watch and listen to the TV News Show referenced.

Ben Carson came across to me as being a thoughtful and considerate person
who has some very strong views about the social conditions of today.

He is, in my opinion, a better candidate than Donald Trump at this point in
time.

Dr. Ben Carson isn't shy about making comparisons with slavery in
order to
draw attention to present-day socio-political issues in America, and
during
an appearance on NBC's "Meet the Press" on Sunday, he invoked that
historical disgrace once again in reference to abortion.
On the weekly news show, Carson, who's within close range of GOP
front-runner Donald Trump in the polls, spelled out his
uncompromising
stance on the polarizing issue of abortion (via The New York Times):
The Republican presidential candidate Ben Carson said Sunday he
believed
that abortion should be outlawed even in cases of rape and incest,
comparing
the procedure with slavery.
"I would not be in favor of killing a baby because the baby came
about in
that way," Mr. Carson said on NBC's "Meet the Press," citing "the
many
stories of people who have led very useful lives who were the result
of rape
or incest."
Mr. Carson, who has not been shy about using slavery and Nazi
metaphors,
held up what he said was a historic parallel with abortion.
"During slavery, a lot of the slave owners thought that they had the
right
to do whatever they wanted to that slave," said Mr. Carson, a former
brain
surgeon. "Anything that they chose to do. And, you know, what if the
abolitionist had said, you know, 'I don't believe in slavery. I
think it's
wrong. But you guys do whatever you want to do.' Where would we be?"
Carson had previously drawn a parallel to slavery when discussing
Obamacare
two years ago, during a speech at the Values Voter Summit in
Washington,
D.C., in which he said, "You know, Obamacare is really, I think, the
worst
thing that has happened in this nation since slavery."
During his sit-down Sunday with "Meet the Press" moderator Chuck
Todd,
Carson also addressed his willingness to use the Holocaust and Nazi
Germany
to illustrate what he views as modern-day societal dangers.
"Interestingly
enough, in the last several weeks I've heard from many people in the
Jewish
community, including rabbis, who have said, 'You're spot-on,' "
Carson said.
Watch Carson discuss his stance on abortion, as well as his support
for
revoking Roe v. Wade, in the "Meet the Press" clip below (via NBC):
