particularly someone weak on the second amendment.
[Ben Carson sounds good too but the Presidency as your first elective office might be a stretch.]
I’VE CROSSED BEN CARSON OFF AS A PRESIDENTIAL CONTENDER. He’s rather ‘mushy’ about his faith.

Ben Carson Easter Post On Facebook
Facebook ^ | 4/4/2015 | Ben Carson
As Easter approaches, let us remember the role that Jesus Christ and God play in our lives. Let us also remember that Jews, Christians and Muslims all believe in God, and while there are ideological differences in who Jesus was, we should find peace in the fact that we are all God’s children.
Jesus is my role model, and he preached love, he preached acceptance. He also was a man of values and principles, and he ended up being crucified for it. But, he rose again to advocate godly principles of loving our fellow man, caring about our neighbors, developing our God-given talents to the utmost so that we become valuable to the people around us, and maintaining high ideals that govern our lives.
We must make certain that people of all types of faith are respected by one another. Let us remember that the First Amendment to the United States Constitution is one of the basic pillars of our system of governance and a founding principle of our nation, as it protects religious freedom.
It is critical that we allow Americans to practice their religious ways, while also ensuring that no one’s beliefs infringe upon those of others.
Throughout the globe we must serve as champions of freedom of religion. As people across the world are persecuted by religious fanatics who perform hateful acts of ignorance, we Americans have a duty to denounce these acts of persecution. By standing up to such intolerance, we are defending the root of our freedom.
I enjoy the following quote from the second Chronicles 7:14, “If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves and pray, and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, and will forgive their sins and will heal their land.”
My brother is a big Ben Carson supporter. I don’t get it. He is obviously an intelligent, principled man, but nothing in his resume gives him the experience to be President.
