Racist Slate Claims Ben Carson Is a White Man

And not just any white man -- they specifically claim he his Defense Secretary nominee General "Mad Dog" Mattis.

Ben Carson showed no sign that he understands housing policy at all during his hearing: https://t.co/2PIlsupUx8 pic.twitter.com/WjQftxjv1T

By the way, Deb Heine has video of Mattis' Senate testimony.

On the downside, he's not wearing blackface, but on the upside, she says he crushed it.

75 Gen. Mattis: "I think it is an imperfect arms control treaty...it's not a friendship treaty. But when America gives her word, we have to live up to it and work with our allies."

I agree completely. But America never gave her word.

Obama illegitimately gave his word, not America. In fact, America was specifically prevented from giving her word.

America "gives her word" on treaties through the Senate's Advise and Consent power. The Constitution require senators, two from each state, to agree by a two-thirds vote for the specific purpose that our word as a nation is broad-based, authentically given as a nation. Not on the whim of single tin-pot potentate.

Obama subverted that authentic national consent by calling this Treaty an "Executive Agreement". It is, in fact, a One-Man Diktat, a Dear Leader-style subverion of the Constitution never before seen in this Republic.

Further, Obama conspired with Iran, Russia and other foreign entities to lie to the American people about the terms of this Pre-Emptive Unconditional Surrender--and the lying is still underway to this very moment.

And if I'm not mistaken, it was not even signed by Iran's executive, essentially making it a deal Obama cut with Obama. Perfect. And then handed to his Ayatollah as a gift.

There was not even simple majority support for this madness, let alone the super-majority support envisioned by the Framers.

America is not obligated because America never consented. America was prevented from giving her word...until she finally got to speak on Election Day.

That election result is America's word on the subject, and should be honored as such.
