On Meet The Press this morning, there was this from Dr. Ben Carson:
…the retired neurosurgeon said, “I would not advocate that we put a Muslim in charge of this nation. I absolutely would not agree with that.”
Other people who should not be put in charge of America, according to Ben Carson:
- Atheist.
- Communist.
- Contortionist, metaphorical or actual.
- Foreigner.
- Someone who doesn’t love America the way she wants to be loved.
- Slowly.
- Gently.
- But: firmly.
- An unmarried person.
- Hindu.
- Jain.
- Zoroastrian.
- Druid.
- Pagan.
- Wiccan.
- Wrong kind of Jew.
- Like, one of those guys who’s never been out of Brooklyn, yet has a foreign accent?
- Let’s just set the yarmulke as the over/under: if you wear it all the time, you can’t be President.
- Wrong kind of Christian.
- Obviously, Unitarians can go fuck themselves.
- Any of those Orthodox churches.
- As far as I–Ben Carson, world-renowned brain surgeon–am willing to say on television for some reason, Greek Orthodox or whatever may as well be Muslim, and I do not advocate allowing another Muslim to be President.
- I meant a Muslim.
- America has never had a Muslim President.
- …
- …
- …
- I’ve been told.
- I also would not advocate letting a lady be in charge.
Unitarians…aren’t they the ones who begin their prayers, “To whom it may concern?”
