Ben Carson: Religion is needed to interpret science because ‘maybe it’s just propaganda’

50. I love this new trope-Republicans used to be reasonable- in 1992 RNC Keynote Speech was Pat

Buchanan. Buchanan was Reagan's Director of Communications. Buchanan was a candidate that year, along with Ron Paul, Harold Stassen and David Duke he lost to George HW Bush who was then supported by Republican but defeated by Democrat Bill Clinton. I voted for Clinton. Republicans back then were fully bat shit crazy, Duke, Paul Buchanan crazy. They were not 'moderates' back then and voting for them then was the same as voting for them now. Same.
Here are some excepts from Buchanan's 92 RNC speech. This is what anyone who was a Republican in 92 was responding to:
"George Bush is a defender of right-to-life, and lifelong champion of the Judeo-Christian values and beliefs upon which this nation was built. Mr Clinton, however, has a different agenda.
At its top is unrestricted abortion on demand. When the Irish-Catholic governor of Pennsylvania, Robert Casey, asked to say a few words on behalf of the 25 million unborn children destroyed since Roe v Wade, he was told there was no place for him at the podium of Bill Clinton’s convention, no room at the inn.

Yet a militant leader of the homosexual rights movement could rise at that convention and exult: “Bill Clinton and Al Gore represent the most pro-lesbian and pro-gay ticket in history.” And so they do.

Bill Clinton supports school choice–but only for state-run schools. Parents who send their children to Christian schools, or Catholic schools, need not apply.

Elect me, and you get two for the price of one, Mr Clinton says of his lawyer-spouse. And what does Hillary believe? Well, Hillary believes that 12-year-olds should have a right to sue their parents, and she has compared marriage as an institution to slavery–and life on an Indian reservation.

Well, speak for yourself, Hillary.

Friends, this is radical feminism. The agenda Clinton & Clinton would impose on America–abortion on demand, a litmus test for the Supreme Court, homosexual rights, discrimination against religious schools, women in combat–that’s change, all right. But it is not the kind of change America wants. It is not the kind of change America needs. And it is not the kind of change we can tolerate in a nation that we still call God’s country."

I suggest all Democrats review that speech when they feel like claiming that Reagan/Bush era Republicans were somehow 'better'. Revision of that history is not acceptable.
