Professional life-long politicians are a cancer eating away at the liberty we have. Does this sentiment extend to a Supreme Court justices? Great picture Joe, much better than your old one.

Personally, anyone who makes the statement that "The Lord called me into Politics" would immediately not get my vote. Michele Bachmann "God Calling on me to Run" Rick Santorum. Herman Cain. Rick Perry. Tim Pawlenty. Mike Huckabee. Sarah Palin. George W Bush. See a pattern here? Many do. I can understand the sentiment, it seems that to get elected though every president we have had has had to profess their religious nature. Obama himself did. So I guess you would prefer that they keep it to themselves, problem is then they can't get elected. I wonder when the first openly atheist politician will get elected to a high office. (Do you know if one already has?) Really Obama professed to have a calling from God to run for President? I am sure you can find a link to your claim.

Sounds like you don't understand "irony". What he says sounds pretty reasonable to me, and to probably over half this country. To you it may sound crazy, well thankfully your (and my) views are not the majority in this country. Let me get this right. Carson made some very stupid remarks (condemning and ridiculing a group of people) and when he got called out for them he invokes a quote (that no one can find Lenin ever said) that has to do with being ridiculed. And yet you claim I am the one that doesn't understand "irony". LOL Sounds like his views were not the views of the JHH Medical Students and is why he was uninvited to speak at the JHH Medical Students Graduation. Doesn't Carson use words like "slavery" and "Nazis" when talking about issues with which he disagrees? He's going to have to stop these histrionics if he wants to get anywhere.

He says he regularly attended church (you know which one), he professes a belief in god (do I really need to find a link?). He says he is a Christian ( I wonder when the first non christian will be president).

You were responding to my post by quoting me, and my post was about Politicians that they said God called them to run. Drop kick me Jesus.

(Do you know if one already has?) "Until he lost his seat in 2012, Californian Democrat Pete Stark used to be only self-declared atheist in Congress. Now there are none." link
Interestingly, there has only ever been one Catholic president and there has never been a Jewish or Muslim one.

They are appointed for life politicians aren't.
Sometimes the court is correct in their rulings (like this one) and sometimes they are horribly wrong (Kelso vs New London)
that's why.

There never has been a left winger that has used "slavery" and "Nazis" to describe his/her opposition?
If you say, "No" I know you are lying.

You know otherwise it is just an opinion. See how I put links, of videos that prove my point that Carson is a nut job. And what are you standing there with in your hand? www.youtube.com/watch?v=wfVGOTy1lKwwww.youtube.com/watch?v=BEYE3WCbYX0

I have never been involved with such an effort... nor do I intend to be...

Carson has very little (if any) traction in these parts. He's something of a curiosity, although his anti-gun comments pretty much slammed the door on any further interest. We don't see him as having any special qualification for PotUS... or any other political office.
