Since the starting gun for the “Silly Season” has been fired….I will take that and run with it…….let the ignorance begin.
First let me say….and I will probably get some grief from the conservs that will support him, in the last couple of election cycles the GOP has been trotting out black candidates with the hope to dis-spell the dialog that they are losing ALL support in the African-American communities……remember Herman Cain?
For the 2016 season they will trot out Ben Carson as a viable candidate just as they did with Cain…..and like Cain he will be nothing but a diversion to keep the media busy typing their asses off…..
Carson is a doctor of some sort and one would think that he would be a bit more knowledgeable on affairs…….anyway he is forming an exploratory committee about the viability of his candidacy…….the first step to a run……
Like Cain he wasted NO time coming out of the gate with moronic statements……….
After announcing the formation of an exploratory committee for his likely presidential campaign, Ben Carson appeared on CNN’s “New Day” this morning, where he outlined his view that homosexuality is “absolutely” a choice.
“A lot of people who go into prison go into prison straight and when they come out, they’re gay,” Carson said. “Did something happen while they were in there? Ask yourself that question.”
As Carson sees it, gay people are trying “to impose their lifestyle on everyone else,” and it is up to Carson to speak up against them. In a 2013 interview with Sean Hannity of Fox News, he even went so far as to group gay people with people who want to have sex with children and animals.
“A lot of people who go into prison go into prison straight and when they come out, they’re gay,” Carson said. “Did something happen while they were in there?”
Well duh! Its a silly question but to just to humor this absurdity let’s suppose young healthy heterosexual men and women whose hormones are still raging find themselves confined with same sex members for years. What does the good Dr. think is likely to happen with some of them? Committing “gay” acts and being gay are not the same thing, especially when there are no other options available to address this strong natural urge.
What an idiot.
He ought to be worth his weight in humor during the cycle….
