Ben Carson: The People Will Stop Obama's Third Term!

by Brian Tashman on Tuesday, 3/10/2015 5:10 pm


WorldNetDaily has become infatuated with a bizarre conspiracy theory that President Obama will remain in office after his second term expires, and today the far-right outlet, best known for promoting birther claims, decided to ask likely GOP presidential candidate Ben Carson the question on everyone’s minds: “Who would stop Obama from remaining in office past his second term?”

Rather than just dismiss the absurd statement outright, Carson said that the people will rise up to defend the Constitution’s limitation on a president serving more than two terms in office against Obama.

Rick Perry: God's Candidate For President, This Time…


Submitted by Brian Tashman on Thursday, 3/12/2015 3:10 pm



As the GOP embraces the reactionary politics and anti-government zealotry of the Tea Party, it is steadily purging “moderates” and empowering extremists. Nothing shows this trend more clearly than the lineup of potential Republican presidential candidates. In this new series, we’ll be looking at the records and promises of the Republican Party’s leading presidential prospects. Next up is Rick Perry: Texas Gov. Rick Perry quickly won support from conservative activists, especially from the Religious Right, when he made a late entry into the 2012 presidential election, unofficially launching his campaign with a prayer rally packed with Religious Right extremists. Perry came into the race midway through his third term as governor, armed with a record of right-wing economic policies; close ties to the oil industry and opposition to regulations on polluters; antagonism to the federal government; and hostility to LGBT equality and abortion rights. Portraying himself as a candidate to the right of Mitt Romney but more electable than the rest of the GOP field, Perry gained traction until his campaign self-destructed thanks to a series of horrific debate performances and unforced errors. - See more at: http://www.rightwingwatch.org/content/rick-perry-gods-candidate-president-time#sthash.fFD5Ppme.dpuf

Rick Santorum: 'Yes We Can' Put The Bible Back In Public Schools


Submitted by Miranda Blue on Monday, 3/16/2015 11:06 am


In a speech Saturday to the far-right Awakening conference organized by Liberty Counsel, Rick Santorum told the audience of pastors and activists that it was up to them to save America by, in part, getting Bibles back in public schools. “We are on a crossroads in American history, a crossroads that looks like we are heading down in a direction that, let’s be honest, no civilization has ever been able to recover from,” Santorum warned, adding that the nation needs to return to God. - See more at: http://www.rightwingwatch.org/content/rick-santorum-yes-we-can-put-bible-back-public-schools#sthash.9JG0EPKX.dpuf

but I do believe that cooler heads prevailed and it died down pretty fast. In fact thinking back it never really got traction if I remember correctly.
