"Tolerant Left" Continues Attacks on Dr.Carson: Blocked From His Own Med. School

I know you'll keep us informed.

 

Jeff, you have become the embodiment of the forces causing my despair.

 

Information is leaking out of Johns Hopkins...looks like it was TOTAL OF EIGHT STUDENTS including the leader of the local LGBT group , that are the students who circulated the petition.

AS I suspected, the TYRANNY of the MINORITY..again.

More to come, as more comes...

 

How many students signed the petition?

I don't even understand what this means. Are you saying that if my opinion is not held by the majority that I have no right to express it?

“The captains of the religious right are always calling us back, back, back. For blacks to be back in the back of the bus, for women to be back in the kitchen, for gays to be in the closet and for immigrants to be on their side of the border.”

-- Sermon by Rev. Luis Leon, pastor of St. John’s Episcopal Church, in his Easter sermon to congregants, including President Obama and his family, according to the press pool report of the first family’s visit.

President Obama can’t catch a break when it comes to preachers.

Rev. Leon and others in the president’s base may be itching to declare victory in the fight with the religious right, but Democrats may learn in 2014 what Republicans learned after 2004: Such triumphs often prove fleeting and sometimes even pyrrhic.


He wrote of choosing Rev. Jeremiah Wright’s church in Chicago as part of his effort to embrace the mainstream experience of black Americans, a journey that helped Obama find a political base from which to launch his career. But Obama ended up having to defend and then denounce his onetime spiritual guide in order to win national office.

After that controversy blew over, Obama and his family settled on worshiping at St. John’s Episcopal Church, just across Lafayette Square from the White House where every president since James Madison has made at least a visit – the ultimate nod to presidential religious conformity.

On Easter, the highest holiday of the Christian faith, pastors usually offer an enticement to the many visitors dragged by spouses and parents who are church members. And it’s easy since the message of Easter is pretty much the exclamation point of the faith, literally the good news: the defeat of sin and death. Hooray, now grab a lily, please fill out your visitor’s card and enjoy your brunch.

But the pastor at St. John’s took the occasion of the big day, combined with national attention, to mount an attack on conservative Christians, saying that the “religious right” favored segregation, unequal status for women, the repression of homosexuality and the deportation of immigrants.

Leon and his flock may disagree with the orthodoxy of many Catholics and evangelicals, but Easter is an odd time to preach to the choir, especially with political attacks. Regular congregants might have felt flush with self-righteousness but some newcomers and many of those reading Leon’s words beyond the church’s walls might understandably feel unwelcome.

Episcopalianism was once a political safe space – an uncontroversial, establishment faith that was apart from radicals and holy rollers. Eleven presidents, more than any other denomination, claimed the American offshoot of the Church of England as their spiritual home.

But as the faith has shrunk, or perhaps because the church has shrunk or even as a cause of the church’s shrinkage, it has ceased to be the mainline haven from America’s wild and wooly spiritual journey and become a highly politicized, very liberal denomination.

The faith today doesn’t much resemble that of George Washington or, in some respects, even George H.W. Bush.

Will the Progressive Left attack Rev. Leon for making such vile remarks during Easter Sunday mass? Will they attack him as they have attacked Dr. Carson?

 

Maybe you aren't savvy enough to do an accounting but I'll bet my bankroll that the objections to conservative speakers are ten times as frequent as leftists. Wait, no, we need to adjust that because on average there are many times more leftwad commencement speakers than conservatives.

 

Messages of hate and repression and bigotry tend to (*)(*)(*)(*) people off more.than other subjects.

At least that goes for the people who the speaker is casting as less than human, or less than a "normal" citizen, and who HE thinks deserve to be "controlled" and repressed.

And it annoys all the other REAL Americans who believe America should be a free country, and who believe that those who advocate moral fascism are not people the students care to pay to come and speak using student funds. (We can be sure this guy charges big bucks to come and spread his hatred of American values).

This doctor is welcome to a soapbox on any street corner. Of course, no will pay him there.

 

Gotta tell that Dominionist thug to take a hike with his anti-American, Harlot-serving crap.

 

Of course not. Unlike that Christo-fascist fool Carson, Rev. Leon is not suggesting that the Church should play the Harlot to the Beast of government.

Render unto Ceasar and all that. We have no problem with that.

 

Erm, dude? We threw Lamarck under the horse-drawn carriage well over a century ago. Do try to keep up.

 

Dominionist?

 

I'm actually surprised that Johns Hopkins hasn't taken more agressive steps. Hopkins is a very powerful political institution in the Baltimore area, and engaging in the sort of issue advocacy and commentary is always detrimental to the truly powerful.

Red meat for the morons is always the stuff for fools, con men and charletans.

Hopkins has nothing to be gained by having their name associated with Dr Carson's comments, and a lot to lose by being associate with them.

 

Why yes, you conservatives do continue to be utterly incapable of logically defeating any arguments for homosexual or interracial marriage.

 

Yes, I suppose we must cop to a certain inadequacy in failing to convince leftards that a patent absurdity is in fact a patent absurdity - just as God Himself might be judged inadequate for failing to convince Lucifer that good is more desirable than evil.

 

No matter how you attempt to couch it, this is an attempt at squelching free speech, and should be condemned as such.

 

Please cite the complete genetic path of a SINGLE CASE of MACRO-EVOLUTION, Darwin.


We'll all get ready for the lies , complete speculation and confusion you are about to post.

And, just to save you some time, "MICRO evolution" (changes WITHIN a species group), can NEVER become MACRO EVOLUTION, ( becoming an entirely DIFFERENT type of creature) as has been proven with over 60,000,000 generations of fruit flies, which , despite every attempt to cause MACRO evolution, and MYRIAD changes within their species group, STILL remain "fruit flies".

Once the alleles have affected their MICRO change, NO FURTHER CHANGE is POSSIBLE.

This is what we have LEARNED since you spewed your insanely WRONG theory, Darwin.
