According to the article,  it's all about how younger Baptists differ with older Baptists.
The last paragraph in the article...

"Their (younger Baptists) reticence to hear a political pundit like Carson, even when they would largely agree with his beliefs, is rooted in a desire to be faithful to Christ in American culture — as prophets, not partisans."

So if that's the case, it would apply to Ted Cruz and all the other candidates,  not just Carson.

Carson needs to stick to something he is good at . . . . . neurology!

How do you know he wouldn't be good at POTUS? He's a heck of a lot smarter than the COWH

I agree with your second sentence.  He's a very accomplished neurosurgeon who successfully separated conjoined twins in a 22-hour surgery.
And his intelligence is also evidenced by the fact that he was able to overcome the destructive black culture associated with growing up in poverty.
I listened to him describe his background in his announcement address.  Extremely impressive,  thoughtful and intelligent.  He's definitely an individual to be admired.

But about your second question "how do you know he wouldn't be good at POTUS?"

The general answer I would give to that question is this.  It would be because of Abraham Lincoln's profound observation when he said "a house divided cannot stand".

Right now America is as divided as any time in it's history since the Civil War.
It's divided into two halves to such a degree that this division now has put the country in a stranglehold.  
And as long as this remains to be the situation,  it doesn't matter which of these candidates is elected President (republican or democrat).  It's WAY beyond the capacity of any of them.  

In Carson's case,  it would become even more difficult.  Because Carson has had ZERO experience as an executive of any kind,  either in the public or the private world.

A win by Carson would accomplish only one thing.  It would send a message that republicans aren't actually racists as the seaoats and others keep telling us.  And that would be a positive thing for republicans.
But it would accomplish nothing more than that.

Ben Carson: Politically Incorrect Or Raving Lunatic? Six Quotes Proving Dr. Carson Is A Crazy Person

See what I mean,  Karl.

Floridatexan and her democrat brethren are convinced that all the republicans are nutjobs.
While you and your republican brethren are convinced that all the democrats are nutjobs.

As long as this remains to be the case,  things will only worsen, regardless of which one of this current crop of president wannabees ends up living in the White House.

Or, could it be that Dr. Carson really IS a raving lunatic?

"addictinginfo"????? Seriously?

The whacked-out hyper-liberal amateur blogger that penned that ridiculous hit piece took nearly every word out of context and embellished the comparisons.

No bias there folks, move along please.....

ROFLMAO

Dr. Carson writes for WorldNetDaily, aka, WingNutDaily. Don't even try to make fun of my source. In fact, google it for yourself. You'll find plenty of other sites where the same conclusion is reached...he's wacko...not that he doesn't have plenty of company in the GOP peanut gallery.

I don't have to "try to make fun of your source", it's laughable in and of itself, just like the WND site you referenced.

Far left or far right, wingnuts just the same.

You have just identified Dr. Carson as a far right wingnut.
