During his speech at the Republican convention on Tuesday, Dr. Ben Carson tried to tie Hillary Clinton to Lucifer with a bizarre side note about Saul Alinsky, a progressive activist who Clinton wrote about in her college thesis.
Carson brought up Alinsky while warning against “secular progressives,” diverting from his speech script.
“Let me tell you something about Saul Alinsky,” Carson told the crowd. “He wrote a book called ‘Rules for Radicals.’ On the dedication page, it acknowledges Lucifer, the original radical who gained his own kingdom.”
“So are we willing to elect someone as president who has as their role model someone who acknowledges Lucifer?” he asked.
The former Republican presidential candidate then claimed that progressives will try to “take God out of our lives.”
“The secular progressive agenda is antithetical to the principles of the founding of this nation,” he said. “And if we continue to allow them to take God out of our lives, God will remove himself from us. We will not be blessed, and our nation will go down the tubes. And we will be responsible for that. We don’t want that to happen.”

Now that you’ve tumbled her game, Dr. Lobotomy-Gone-Wrong Carson, you’ll pay dearly.
Here’s what it actually says:
Sounds sort of tongue-in-cheek to me. Then again, I’m not a hyper-somnambulistic dominionist brain
donorsurgeon.This is the kind of thing that makes you sigh and wonder if we’ll ever be able to have a common frame of reference with some of these people. If you’re so humorless, literal-minded, fundamentalist in your religion and willing to believe the absurd worst about people, if you think Alinsky wasn’t making an interesting kind of dramatic analogy and was in fact literally dedicating his book to the devil, I wonder whether we can have a constructive “dialogue.” It’s like an obvious bad first date; it’s just not gonna happen.
“So are we willing to elect someone as president who has as their role model someone who acknowledges Lucifer?” he asked.
Trump raped his wife. I think that counts for something!
Well, the Bible acknowledges Lucifer, so are we going to elect someone who claims to believe in the Bible? And both of the two Corinthians as well. This man is so stupid that he is incapable of realizing how stupid he is.
