Republican presidential candidate and former pediatric neurosurgeon Dr. Ben Carson said Friday in a statement that he “strongly” disagreed with the Supreme Court’s decision on gay marriage but acknowledged that it was “now the law of the land.”
Carson’s comments came after the Court ruled to legalize gay marriage across all 50 states.
“While I strongly disagree with the Supreme Court’s decision, their ruling is now the law of the land,” Carson said.
Carson said the religious rights of Americans must not be affected by the ruling.
“I call on Congress to make sure deeply held religious views are respected and protected,” he said. “The government must never force Christians to violate their religious beliefs.”
Carson also gave an opinion on marriage.
“I support same sex civil unions but to me, and millions like me, marriage is a religious service not a government form,” he said.
“to me, and millions like me, marriage is a religious service not a government form”
Clearly…which is why you and those millions marched your holier-than-thou bigot asses down to the town/city/county clerk’s office, obtained and filled out a form, signed it, submitted it, obtained a marriage license, went and held your ceremony and then promptly began filing your federal and state taxes jointly and enjoying the tax break it afforded you? To say nothing of the health and life insurance changes, hospital visitation rights, inheritance rules and changes to your wills, perhaps a pre-nuptial agreement, etc. etc. etc.?
This shit doesn’t even pass the giggle test.
Sorta like, ‘people can’t sell your wife and kids anymore.’ is the law of the land?
At least there is some progress here. Dr Carson now understands there are actually 3 branches of government.
This is the second week in a row Ben Carson has publicly acknowledged objective reality.
He doesn’t stand a chance in the primaries.
Yeah, the Teabaggers’ perceptions are subtly changing.
Instead of calling him OUR ni(CLANG!) now they are saying THAT ni(CLANG!)
