Why Ben Carson Can't Be Elected President - And Response (3)

Why Ben Carson can't be elected President 

1. Communism is the politics of envy. The blacks, hispanics, and other minorities who came up the wrong way envy someone who comes up by their own bootstraps. They envy such individuals because they are too lazy and no-'count to do so themselves, plus the fact that they want the
government to take care of them. A combined minority vote would not go for a free enterpriser, rather it would take up with a Communist loving, ACLU lawyer like Hillary Clinton. 

2. Ben Carson is a 7th Day Adventist, thus doesn't believe in a "future state of rewards and punishments," which is a Constitutional requirement in many states. The 7th Day Adventists believe in annihilation, thus there is no hell, a totally unBiblical position, the same Bible which Ben Carson would be bound to swear a sacred oath.  Furthermore, he cannot abide by the Sunday-excepted clause in our National Constitution, which regards Sunday as our national Sabbath. 

3. What other votes he would get are based on  the attempt to remove artificial race guilt heaped on the white people to purge themselves from the false charges of prejudice, in that they will try to stiffen this rope of sand by saying: "See, I am not prejudiced, I am voting for a black man."  Thus they are not voting for his qualifications as a neuro-surgeon or other accomplishments he might have in that their vote is built on sand. By the same token, this same deluded multitude would refuse to vote for a white man as opposed to a black man to avoid further false guilt. Political voodoo emanates around the non-word, racist, which under the current philosophical delusion is worse than being a murderer. 

Thus he cannot be nominated or elected President.

We all, if we listen to talk radio, get to hear hate so fierce one has to wonder how hate, Jesus and the American way have any place.  June Griffin now has decided that Ben Carson cannot be our president for reasons so far from the reality.

One he is black; he is successful and did I also say he is black.  I almost forgot one and this is clincher, he is a 7th Day Adventist and doesn't respect the Sabbath.  June must also be reminded that even some churches in town have services on Thursday because some work.  The Sabbath for 7th Day is Saturday.  

The plight of the black person is not based on opportunity, according to June, but because he is lazy. One of the many myths heard since a child is that the black man is lazy and we all know the song, "ole man river. sleepin along.."

When June does come on the radio I turn the radio to another station. Her hate-filled messages wrapped in Biblical verses somehow doesn't quite adhere to the message of Jesus that I know, a loving, forgiving Jesus.

While choosing a president to lead this great nation is not an easy task, our founding fathers only provided a few specifications when it comes to requirements a person must meet in order to be elected President of the United States.  According to Article II, Section 1 of the United States Constitution: "No person except a natural born citizen, or a citizen of the United States, at the time of the adoption of this Constitution, shall be eligible to the office of President; neither shall any person be eligible to that office who shall not have attained to the age of thitry-five years, and been 14 years a resident within the United States." 

While you are entitled to your opinion about why Ben Carson can't be elected President, technically you should have implied that he "shouldn't" be allowed based solely on your view of how the race and religion of a politician will lead to the downfall of civilization.

June Griffin needs to seriously study the beliefs of Seventh-day Adventists before she starts proclaiming them.
Her misrepresentations was probably out if ignorance rather than malice, but it was a misrepresentation.
She fails to understand both the Constitution and the beliefs of SDAs.
