I wonder how he reconciles his faith with it's racist history while demagoguing the Tea Party.
So with this quote are you suggesting that Carson is a racist through sheer association with his faith? I mean it's not like Christianity doesn't have a LONG history with racism itself. Heck there is a Christian lawmaker in Virginia trying to let businesses descriminate against gay people. Though you don't see me calling every Christian lawmaker a racist because of Christianity's history with racism.
That got twisted CONTINUALLY because he's muslim.
Move on
Yo THAT WAS ABOUT POLITICS for those who failed at reading, and comprehension.
Was it? Looked like a false association to me.

What's your problem? The future of your country (I'm assuming you're a US American) belongs to people of color and probably, to an ever greater extent, people of the Muslim faith. People who don't like that fact, if they're young enough to be affected by it, should move to some other country, in my opinion. There's nothing keeping them here.
As they say...to the victors go the spoils.
You'd think the White Christian population would want as many protections in place for minorities as possible before they become the minority.

Um, yeah. Check history. No one more ruthless than the white man. Ask anyone. Like Carlin said, "Our motto should be 'give us a color and we'll wipe it out.'"

I would like to challenge what Carlin said. It's demonstrably false.
How many did Mao kill in China? 50 million or so?
300,000 murdered in Darfur?
2 million killed by Pol Pot in Cambodia?
What colors has the "white man" wiped out?
Have many other countries done what the U.S. has done and rebuilt defeated enemy countries after vanquishing them in a war?
Anybody?

So much for that separation of church, and state LEFTISTS purport themselves as believing in.
And no madrassas, and Qu'ran doesn't mean Chrstian or Jewish.
I'd like to point out that Carson is being appointed to the intelligence committee NOT an education committee. So his views on education appear to be a bit irrelevant here.
