Ben
Carson, yes that fellow vying for the republican nomination to run
for the presidency said;
“Don't
let the secular progressives drive God out of our lives.” He went
on to say “We have to stop letting them bully us. . . . We back
down too easily. It's an important part of who we are.”
He
also claimed that progressives are politicizing religion and
persecuting Christians.
“The
fact of the matter is that I believe our founders set up a system
that wasn’t supposed to cater to a political class,” he said. “It
was supposed to cater to the people.”
“We’ve
gotten everything confused,” Carson continued. “We’ve got to
stop making everything into a political issue.”
Yet
he makes this statement to further his political aspiration while
attempting to minimize the rights of others who do not ascribe to his
religious viewpoint. He makes the point that the government is
supposed to cater to the people, yet he fights to deny the rights of
the LGBT community. He has claimed that progressives are bullying
and persecuting Christians while it is the evangelical far right that
has attempted to limit the rights of the people to the way they
interpret their bible.
I
have to ask one question, it's a two part question. Who is making
the question of “rights” political and who is bullying others to
accept their way of life in this country that is supposed to have
freedom from the government imposing religion on its people?
