Ben Carson: Voters must be on guard for ‘propaganda’ in 2016

Carson was appearing at Liberty the morning after the fourth Republican presidential debate, where he managed to avoid any attacks from his competitors and deflected with humor the recent slew of media stories digging into parts of his autobiography.

Carson, 64, asked those assembled at the largest Evangelical university in the world if they are willing to stand up for those values and stand up to the “secular progressive agenda” that is trying to silence Christians.

He said many people today not only reject the Bible but also regard believers as idiots.

At Missouri, university system President Tim Wolfe resigned Monday under pressure from students and faculty who said that he failed to respond to what they described as a racially intolerant atmosphere on the Columbia, Mo., campus.

During his appearance at Liberty, Carson defended his flat tax proposal, saying he likes the comparison to tithing because “God is the fairest individual of all”. AP Religion Editor Steve Coleman reports.

Not sure if Ben Carson knows that the only violence, or threats of violence, during the Yale and Missouri protests have come from two white men who, via social media, said they planned to shoot black protesters.

After singing along while on stage with a campus band, Carson was introduced by Liberty University President Jerry Falwell. “Well, when you look at the farming industry; I’ve talked to farmers who have multi-thousand-acre farms, and they say that their business would collapse without these people completely”, Carson said. But Carson’s supporters won’t care what he says about the Islamic State, as long as he gives testimony about how God changed his life.

“Lord, if this is the leader that you’ve called for us, we pray, Father, that it would be very clear to people and that there will be just crystal clarity, Father, for us as your people on how to serve, Father, your Kingdom first and then be great citizens of this nation, whoever that leader is”. “I think this country needs a revival”. “When we get to a point where a majority can say, ‘I don’t like what you’re doing, that’s offensive, and therefore I have a right to be violent toward you or deprive you of rights, because I don’t like what you’re doing, ‘ that really goes against the grain of our constitutional rights”.

“Well, we’re being a little bit too tolerant, I guess you might say, accepting infantile behavior, I guess you might say”, Carson told Fox News’ Megyn Kelly.
