I don’t find Carson “bizarre” but he definitely doesn’t light my fire.
The secret to political correctness on college campus is the student loan program and federal funding! If the colleges were forced to use endowments for maintenance of the curriculum and people could not get free money or nearly free money for tuition these colleges would be force to lower prices and change curriculum to entice the student body to enroll. I believe in the free market and college is not a free market and hasn’t been for many years!!!
You would think a Jewish magazine would recognize irony. Carson knows that ideologues have taken over the schools and colleges. He is just talking about the worm turning on the marxists.
It’s not just the media. In response to the quote “I don’t particularly like the idea of government subsidies for anything because it interferes with the natural free market,” Carson said” - a FReeper on another thread called Carson an “ethanol pimp”.
Its not a "hit piece". The media is covering what he said. He espoused a policy he would consider implementing as president. It should be helpful to readers get a bearing on Carson. Not much is known about the guy. Now that the media has started to cover him (he's for amnesty, he's not a solid supporter of the 2nd Amendment, he's for subsidizing ethanol (30%) gasoline, etc.) he's not going to be the choice of conservatives.
If he keeps getting exposure, and more of his beliefs become known, he's toast in the Republican party nomination process. Ben Carson, meet Herman Cain.
Well, this is a rather bizarre response for a supposed conservative.
Use the government to monitor and punish political bias. Because no Democrat would ever abuse that to, say, go after Hillsdale College or the Claremonts.
This just confirms for me that Ben Carson’s instincts are not liberty-oriented, but are basically just more big governmentism.
Abolish the Federal Department of Education, it is as simple as that, not saying it will be easy but it is simple, it would also be simple if we get a conservative POTUS and he has a conservative congress instead of the uni-party we have now.
Cruz is a strategist when campaigning for the General he will also be campaigning to get as many conservatives in the congress as possible, he knows he can’t do it all himself he will need a strong congress, he is not running for himself by himself, he intends to restore our Constitutional Free Republic.
Yep, I got it. A statement based in sarcasm and irony. Also ironic; conservatives acting the same way they accuse liberals of acting, humorless
I prefer ‘Rino’
“extreme political bias” can cut both ways; depending on
who’s in power at any given moment.
A wrong turn by Dr. Carson.
But I would still vote for him in the general election.
Carson is the “outsider but not Trump” candidate.
He appears kind and gentle, and some people like that.
Ben Carson is bizarre. Didn’t this country just live through 7 years of a clean cut, articulate black man with no experience? How did that work out?
Now it is supporting another clean cut, articulate black man with no experience. One who supports abortion, fetal research, gun control for the cities, is friends with Sharpton, etc. etc. because he is a Republican, not a Democrat? That is bizarre.
Another hit piece. The media loves to use the word Bizarre next to Carson’s name
Not in anyway a fan of the “media” but I gotta say that statement is actually bizarre.
Oh, so a hit piece is one in which the author correctly and in context cites a candidate. I see.
What Carson said is bizarre. For a supposed conservative to propose using the federal government to monitor [and presumably punish] free speech is disgusting. Take off your rose-colored glasses and listen.
If the shoe fits.
Amnesty and Ethanol pimp so far. Oh, and don’t forget his stupid statement of two weeks ago when he said we need to “enforce” a no fly zone in Syria against the russians. Yeah, that was brilliant too. Brilliance we can do without.
