What I heard from Carson, was not that Trump was a glowing example, but that he was connected/comfortable to people of faith. Over the past 8 years, there has been a raising tide of disconnect with many "traditional" Christians and government. Many have felt pushed out and actually on the...

I'm not sure I'm following you, Wayne. If you're saying that I should question Dr. Carson's Christianity, etc., I just can't go that far. I think it's sufficient to say that his course of action—and, indeed, a significant part of his religious orientation—is wrong. His course of action is consisten...

I'm confident that Dr. Carson has the best of intentions, but if his goal is to influence society for good as much as possible, he has already failed. Dr. Carson could be the greatest HUD secretary imaginable, but his potential impact as a cabinet member can never even begin to approach the positive...

Excellent post, appleman. :clap: I found this part particularly insightful— But I do not consider news to be the primary problem even though even news articles have become very biased at times. It is the vast amount of opinion pieces as well as the talk radio and talk TV sites that are the issue IMO...
