Yup, Ben Carson Is Still A Crazy Asshat

Republican presidential candidate Ben Carson over the weekend denounced marriage equality and protections for transgender people as “extra rights” for “a few people who perhaps are abnormal.”

Speaking to the Catholic network EWTN's Matthew Franck of the conservative Witherspoon Institute, Carson warned that “our time is running out.”

“If we don't stand up for principles now and we get a progressive president and they get two or three Supreme Court picks, say goodbye to America,” Carson said.

When Franck asked Carson what he would do as president to make sure that federal funding will not be used to “force districts to require girls to shower with boys” and restore local control over education, Carson used the opportunity to defend his opposition to LGBT rights, claiming that “political correctness” was destroying America.

“You see how silly this is,” he said. “I mean, it’s beyond ridiculous that you take the most abnormal situation and then you make everyone else conform to it. That doesn’t make any sense whatsoever. That’s one of the very reasons that I have been an outspoken opponent of things like gay marriage. I don’t have any problem with gay people doing anything they want to do. You know, it’s a free country, there’s freedom of association. However, when you now impose your value system on everybody else and change fundamental definitions and principles of society, I have a big problem with that. Everybody is equal, everybody has equal rights, but nobody gets extra rights. And when we start trying to impose the extra rights based on a few people who perhaps are abnormal, where does that lead?”

Carson added that allowing gay couples to marry could lead to plural marriages and called arguments for transgender rights “garbage.”

“We are absolutely destroying ourselves because we are paying attention to political correctness,” he claimed.

I've noticed, Carson only plays these cards when he's talking to dumbass people who won't call him out on his bullshit at the time.

Every reporter and interviewer who has confronted him on his bigotry always gets the same answer, "I don't want to discuss LGBT issues" well of course you don't want too with someone who disagrees with you Ben, because every time you have in the past, you come off looking like the complete idiot you really are.

As for your time running out Ben, it can't happen quick enough, as far as I'm concerned, you were over the moment your opened your mouth.
