How Dr. Ben Carson can get his groove back?

First as a Christian libertarian, I consider somebody else’s sexual behavior  or self-identity to be none of my business.   Period.  I have zero desire to use the law to bludgeon the sexually befuddled into conformity.

2    My bumper sticker has always read,  “Stay out of my face, stay out of my wallet,  and stay away   from the kids.  Still does.     If the gay lobby violates any of that,  I’ll be passionately snarky.

3. If the Gay lobby tries uses law to compel my affirmation or extend to itself a subsidy, then the fight is on.

Dr. Ben Carson made a rookie mistake.  He allowed himself to be cross examined by a gay lobby zealot,  a  CNN reporter,  Chris Cuomo.  There is nothing intrinsically wrong with allowing a hostile interviewer  to ask questions.  In fact sometimes it is great, especially if it allows enough time to comment to explain your views.   However, this is not the time to wing it if you don’t know the guy’s agenda or his tactics.  You’ll likely get hammered.

Carson’s first statement was great.  He refused to accept the premise of the question when he said same sex behavior is a choice, and that sexual identity is not to be equated with race.

Then,  Dr. Carson stepped in it when he implied that prison sodomy can make a straight criminal emerge from prison converted to gay.  Carson said the “situational” behavior of criminals in prison redefines them as gay.  Carson equated debased prison behavior as defining the sexuality of the prisoner.  That‘s a big mistake since that’s the same argument the gay lobby uses.   They use the Kinsey Myth to say that people are defined by their inclinations—preferences to commit a behavior,  which reveal an orientation.   That “orientation”,  the lobby has leveraged into a legally protected sexual class equipped with civil rights, including minority status and aspirations of “marriage equality”.

Is this unartful mess a fatal gaffe? No.  At least it doesn’t have to be.

Dr. Ben Carson is high on the list of presidential aspirants because of one thing.  A couple of years ago at the annual prayer breakfast,  while in the presence of President Obama,  Dr. Ben Carson challenged the basis and practically of Obamacare.  The act of speaking truth to power launched his political career.  Everywhere people who are tired of government over-reach saying to themselves,  “This is the guy we’ve been waiting for.” 

So, when Dr. Carson attacked the basic notions of the gay lobby, many Americans thought,  “Finally, here’s a guy who is up to the task of challenging the runaway gay lobby machine…even though his language was imprecise and incomplete.

After Carson tangled with Cuomo,   I had a chance to speak with several of his Iowa supporters.  Seeing the usual thuggery of the Gaystopo,  I observed that the only way Carson’s gaffe could seriously hurt him was that if he were to back off and go squishy.  I advised that if Dr. Carson really folded on this, his candidacy could be seriously damaged.

I advised,  “Don’t fold.  Dr. Carson is on solid ground.  He needs some help with gay-speak , but stay the course. The culture is fed up with the intolerance of the gay agenda.  Give us some hope and the party’s base will come to your support, in droves.”

Just a couple hours later, Dr. Carson folded.  Not purdy.  He thought that if he could find a reasonable, middle ground,  the gay lobby would back off and reconsider him to be harmless.   

Dr. Carson doesn’t know that the gay lobby has moved on from any middle ground compromises.   They are SCOTUS bound, one opinion away from same gender marriage being declared a Constitutional right.  Do you think they will back off now and accept civil union?  Nope.

The Gay Lobby takes no prisoners and is incapable of compromise, unlike most political causes.   They win—we lose.

Therefore,  for the purposes of running for office,  any office Dr. Ben Carson should offer:

1 This issue is personal, not political.  It is nobody’s business what private parties do with their privates.

2. He wants nothing to do with gay issues.  And he wants nothing of them either. 

3.  It’s still, Get out of my face, my wallet, and stay away from the kids. And stop misusing the courts to acquire what majority votes won’t give you.

Dr. Ben Carson tumbled over the gay trip wire set to make him stumble.  He can recover from this only if he does to the gay agenda what he did to the Obamacare agenda.

He must blow the whistle on the fraud and speak truth with compassion and dignity.  He doesn’t need to be abusive,  or aggressive to resist the social and legal claims of the gay agenda.

But he does need to know the history, language, tactics and commitment of the lobby.  And he won’t be able to avoid the issue as he promised himself he would.  

He will face variations of these questions forever,  even if he decides a presidential run is not in his future.   As of right now, the gay lobby has marginalized him as the Michelle Bachman or Sarah Palin of this election cycle.  It will be the last thing people will remember of his political legacy if he doesn’t man up.

Making nice will leave him behind.

Dan Pilla can help you if you are being audited by the IRS.  How to Win Your Tax Audit.   Then, both left and right are pushing the gas tax hike.   Iowans don’t like the shake-down the political class is doing to get it passed.

The folks at MediaMatters decided to take after a couple of my opinions.  I can only speculate as to why.   Perhaps it’s the confluence of my anti-gas tax argument which ties any increase to the scrutiny and defunding of illegals in Iowa Public schools.   This opinion has really irritated the political class in Iowa which like everywhere else loves to trade votes for OPM.  Also irritated is the Obamnesty class which has been milking compliant Iowans for untold millions since the early 80’s.  And it’s annoying  educrats which have been doing the same.   This is the link to their blog.

I usually take stuff like this apart line by line,  but in this case it isn’t necessary.   They did me the honor of accurately quoting me extensively.  They think they are tattling on me.   They think my opinions are so out of the mainstream that merely reporting them is an indictment.  They are wrong.  Most Iowans agree with me.  Most Americans for that matter.

I offer a few additional points to ponder though.

1.        The title of their piece, “IA radio host claims equal education for children is ‘a scam’-- undocumented students should be barred from public school’.     That isn’t accurate.  My goal isn’t to necessarily remove them from Iowa Public Schools.    I only said that the taxpayers have no obligation to pay for them.  (For the record I’d settle for a fee structure for non-citizens.)

2.       I wrote a short blog on my overview just a few months ago.  It is still relevant.

3.       And just to be a little snarky,  Dr. Thomas Woods reminds us that the 14^th Amendment was never legally ratified in the first place.

4.       Finally, I can’t improve on Chief Justice Warren Burger’s opinion on Plyler.  “In an effort to become an omnipotent problem solver, the court distorts our constitutional function…illegal aliens have NO right whatever to be here, and the state may reasonably, and constitutionally, elect not to provide them with government service at the expense of those who are lawfully in the state.”

It’s interesting that a left-wing organization like MediaMatters took the time to evaluate the strength of my arguments.  Even though they made a muck of it,  I thank them for the courtesy of a try.   The political class which actually represents Iowa citizens and taxpayers won’t.
