It is not right to confer motives on those who disagree with you and you are doing the work of the accuser by not assuming the best of them, as 1 Cor 13:7 instructs.
The right thing to do, if a brother is mistaken as I was (Trump compared him to a child molester, he did not imply Carson was one), is to correct the record as you see it and presume they were honestly mistaken. I do believe you receive that courtesy here, and if you don't, you should. |

| Quote: | Ben Carson Had No Choice But To Endorse Donald Trump
—By Kevin Drum | Fri Mar. 11, 2016 12:11 PM EST
Quinn Hillyer is not pleased with Ben Carson's endorsement of "moral monster" Donald Trump:
Carson has spent an entire campaign pleading for honor and decency and decorum, only to endorse a man who is the crassest, most vulgar, most deceitful person in the race — a man who has repeatedly attacked in the most vicious ways, and lied about, every other candidate in the race. Trump is a man who has repeatedly incited violence at his rallies, saying that protesters should be punched out and carried away on a stretcher, and promising to pay the legal bills of those who throw the punches.
....Carson has talked about the need for a president to understand poverty, yet has endorsed a multi-million dollar inheritor who has spent his entire career leaving others impoverished by walking out on his debts, but refusing to pay full bills, and by trying to use to power of the state to seize their land. Worse, Carson is endorsing a man who has mocked his religion and who quite literally likened him to a child molester. In doing so, Dr. Carson has disgraced himself.
Fair points! But Carson deserves a defense. Here it is:
Rubio is going to lose. Endorsing him wouldn't benefit Carson in any way.
Carson hates Cruz's guts.
Trump looks like he's going to win.
Oh, did you think I was going to defend Carson on moral grounds? So silly. Ben Carson has been grifting the conservative movement for years. He knows the main chance when he sees it, and right now Trump offers him the best prospect of staying in the spotlight and selling more books. I wonder if Trump will make him stand obediently behind him during his next rally, like he did with Chris Christie? |

Now his name is mud because he has an opinion. His opinion is different than yours. He has talked personally, candidly with every candidate or their entourage and he decided he would support TRUMP.
Amazing some of my brothers knew all the time he was sorta shallow and wishywashy! But now is the time to say it.

So true. Great post.

Folks, I know y'all need a ray of sunshine and hope on this gloomy day. Carson points out that even if Trump is not so good as a president, it will only be for 4 years. lol
Carson said Trump will surround himself with good people. (Maybe this was where he was hinting that he had been offered a position in the administration.) |

I listened to that interview. Not sure why I was surprised, but he actually said that Trump was wrong to back the guy who punched the protester and wrong to offer legal support, and that Trumps disparaging comments about him were political and divisive in nature. "But I support him because he's going to have great people around him", and when asked who that might be he responded something to the tune of "I will be involved in that".  And what on earth does he think a mega-narcissist like Trump is going to do with those "great people"? They won't be "great" unless they agree with him on everything, and if they don't agree with him they will be "stupid, losers". Its like these guys have never even heard a word out of Trump's mouth. |
