Cal thomas-officially now an idjit

I guess cal doesn´t remember how George Washington defeated the British.

Instead, he is assisting in the suicide of a nation.

Why? They can dish it out, but they can´t take it! Truth to power, truth to power!

I am glad to see a conservative stand up.

Cal Thomas used the be the voice of common sense. He has joined the brainwashed on the subject of Dr. Carson with his call for an apology.

No, Cal! This was the right Venue at the right time for him to take the opportunity to say what he did. Someone in addition to Gov. Palin and Senator Cruz need to clue in the general public. If obama can continue for 6 years to campaign for the Oval Office. We need to take any opportunity to let people know the voice of commonsense reasoning and why the country is sliding downhill under obama´s watch.

I disagree Cal. Our NCDA president is the one who needs to apologize.

Cal Thomas! Stuff it will ya?

Carson would have never been allowed to go on the old urban media to say these things to the world. Fox would have had him but the other media would ignore it.

It may not have been ´appropriate´ under the circumstances but it was worth it to get the word out.

Besides, Obama espouses his drivel at every opportunity, regardless of the event.

At first, I thot Cal T was kidding then after reading the article, I realized he had gone "funny" in the head.
So since the deck is stacked against our side, I´m for taking EVERY opportunity to state our beliefs and point out the "won´s" mistaken and anti-american views and policies.
Well done, doctor Ben.

Cal has it all wrong. Obama needs To apologize To America instead of apologizing For America.

I heard on Dr. Laura that Ben was complimented by Dear Leader for his excellent speech.

Bull. The Libs have absolutely no problem excoriating conservatives while standing next to them. The Re_elect Komrad Urkel for a third term campaign is still tell people Romney is a murderer. Dr. Carson spoke the truth. Why do we have such a problem with those speaking the truth?

I love how truth tellers, like Dr. Carson, flush out others´ real beliefs. A two-edged sword is most useful.

The won should apologize to us. Cal, we´ll be waiting for your apology as well.

Mr. Thomas your true colors are showing. Please crawl back under the bridge you crawled out from....your troll like qualities are showing in the light of day.

Nobody is perfect: Cal sure got this one WRONG!

Shame on Cal Thomas. Obviously that once-great-brain-trust-conservative has been hanging around with Elinor Cliff far too long. When the dear-leader-obama apologizes to SOTU members, Paul Ryan, President Bush and too many others to count for HIS ignorant LECTURES and rants, perhaps Dr. Carson should consider "apologizing".......Never mind.. BTW, does "cal" REALLY want to get into a discussion about "corruption and polarization" while defending the agitator-in-chief?

Fox is slowly turning to the dark side.

Did Obama ever apologize to the justices of the Supreme Court after he called them out in a state of the union address?

Dr. Carson talked about faith and what would get this nation on its feet again. Addressing the healthcare situation is a big part of that. If the truth contradicts Obama´s views, well tough.

Is the prayer breakfast all about the president, or all about faith and how to live it?

I understand that Mr. Thomas would like for this prayer breakfast to remain apolitical.
But, this administration has crossed a line.

If Adolf Hitler showed up, would you refrain from criticising him?

Folks have forgotten how Obama politicized his speech last year at the Prayer breakfast. A word comes to mind - Hypocrites!

I can´t remember the last thing written by Thomas that I´ve read. Don´t plan to start reading him now.

Fox News is quickly becoming an apologist for the national socialist Bow-Boy and his fellow Marxists.

Am getting quite fed up with ´em.

Cowards all.

Sorry, Cal. We´ve turned our cheek too many times. I like that someone has had the guts to politely speak truth to power.

Perhaps time for Cal to join Pope Benedict in retirement.

Cal doesn´t remember the Sen. Paul Wellstone memorial very well, does he?

FTA: I´m told organizers were astonished and disapproving of the critical parts of Carson´s keynote address. The breakfast is supposed to bring together people from different political viewpoints and cultures. It is supposed to bridge divides, not widen them.

Really?? What would you expect from a guy who went on tour with Bob Beckel. Dr. Carson´s comments were all about bridging divides and speaking the truth. Sorry Cal, you are wrong on this one. It´s clear that the time he spent with Beckel has ruined his clarity in critical thinking.

Cal is taking his own victory lap with this article. He first said it on Megyn Kelly, agreeing with Alan Colmes. He got lots of accolades from the liberal media so he is repeating it in other venues to get more.

I disagree with Cal Thomas. What good would some words backstage have done? Dr. Carsen´s opinions wouldn´t have gotten any coverage in any other venue.

If it takes speaking the truth at a prayer meeting to break through the cacoon surrounding the President and his bad policies, then do it. Well done, Dr. Carson. It took courage to do what you did.

Cal has offended a private citizen who gave a speech he did not agree with.
Cal Thomas owes the Dr. an apology.
I guess Cal wants people MUZZLED by PC.
Here is a prime example of what the Dr. was talking about !
Cal wasn´t really listening.

Wow, and I used to like Cal Thomas. 0bama has no problem calling people out even when he was outright wrong. At one of the State of the Union addresses, he lied about the Supreme Court, and embarrassed the Supreme Court judges, and 0bama was the one who was wrong. 0bama lied about the illegals getting free healthcare, and when someone called out, "You lie," they were appalled. What Dr. Ben Carson said was the truth, it was appropriate, and for once someone was showing common sense, which is something very much lacking in 0bama´s policies. Go Dr. Carson; hope he makes a run for senate.

never liked Cal much, no time for him now, for sure. He´s establishment Republ AT BEST. So shut it, Cal.

Unlike Cal and others that make their living inside the beltway, Carson makes his living in a very non DC environment. And Carson has a right to redress grievances with his goobernment (pesky thing that Constitution). So he isn´t obliged to honor a politico creed and he does have a right to redress grievances. So, Cal, he should apologize for not abiding by politico rules and exercising his constitutional rights? I don’t believe that is neither appropriate nor proper. It is we that the people that fear and loathe our goobernment and it is beyond time to be pleasant and polite about it.

So ithe speech broke tradition? We are knee deep in broken traditions.

If the event was really "devoted to drawing people closer to God and bridge partisan and cultural divides", what the heck was Obama doing there?

Sorry Cal, some things just need to be said! Carson/West 2016

I tried to read little cal´s article and quit when I had to throw up. Dr. Carson told the truth and sees that zero wants to DESTROY American medicine along with DESTROYING the United States government. cal, all bi-partisanship means to a liberal, socialist, marxist, communist democRAT is that you do what I say and SHUT the H-ll UP.

Cal has ´jumped the shark´. Bye Bye - time to hang it up Cal.

I didn´t know what a Cal Thomas was before we saw this fool trying for his 15 minutes on Fox the other day. Now he keeps on digging. And I don´t care who he is. Right now he is not fit to shine Dr. Carson´s shoes.

Dr. Carson surely hit a nerve in Cal Thomas when he said that our population had dumbed down to the point that many underinformed look to media pundits for what they are supposed to think.

Thwap. That smarted....

Next thing you know Dr. Carson will be called a racist or "Uncle Tom" because he dared criticize the man child, incompetent phony in the White House. The good doctor is a breath of fresh air!

Odd how Christians are supposed to have values but never live by them, hold to the teachings of Christ but never speak them, live by our faith but never share it.

We make room in the public square for all views but the Christian one. Conservatives should never speak out loud enough to be heard, in the eyes of the left.

And this whole thing´s starting to have a "How dare he speak out loud" quality to it that begins to deeply disturb me - sort of like Christians are to be seen (when they must) but not heard.

Cal, it´s time to retire. You´re getting soft in the head. This is life and death, Cal. We can´t play nice.

Dear Cal,

Just get it our of your system. You´re not doing any good for yourself or anyone else.

Angling for a seat with Mooch at the SOTUS?

Possibly Cal was afraid for Dr. Carson´s life. That Dr. Carson would have been taken out in an alley by Brown Shirted thugs and killed in a mock shooting squad.
Such is the way things are going these days. Alas!

Apologize? In a pigs foot!

Well Mr. Thomas, so you believe that Dr. Carson ambushed Obama - what nonsense. I say kudos to Dr. Carson for bringing us a message that most America loving, freedom loving people want to hear.

And it was delicious to watch Obama during the speech with that dour look on his face!

If only there were more people like Dr. Carson who would speak out. Why are so many people afraid of Our Dear Leader? The man insults everybody, from respected world leaders to hard-working Americans and is hardly ever called on it (unless it´s Iran or North Korea). What Dr. Carter said was not insulting, it was the simple truth eloquently couched. And I think God would have been pleased to hear what Dr. Carter said.

Uh Cal... the President said an elderly woman in need of a pacemaker should "take a pain pill" and the President is one who refused to vote to protect babies who were born after surviving an abortion attempt.

Obamacare, taxation and the national debt will all work to destroy our country. To compare an analysis of those things with a speech by Imus years ago that mentioned "sexually suggestive comments" is comparing apples and oranges.

The other side wants to allow our elderly to die and to support the killing of the unborn. I think they can withstand a speech by an accomplished black doctor.

No Cal you owe all conservatives an apology. Truth speaking of Dr. Carson´s magnitude should never be apologized for. Shame on you Cal, shame on you.

Did the Thomas person demand Obama apologyze to the members of the US Supreme Court when he lied about them at the SOTU?

Did Thomas demand Obama apologyze to Ryan for insulting him during speech?

Did Thomas demand Mother Theresa apologyze to the Klintons when she spoke of pro life?

Perhaps the man´s brain cells are being deprived of oxygen due to his height.

The black pulpit has always had a pass on political speech.

Shut up! No fool is greater than an old fool.

So Obama must have felt uncomfortable, I´m supposed to be concerned about that? After he publically insulted the Supreme Court Judges, and publically insulted Paul Ryan. It reminds me of an old song:

So you met someone who set you back
on your heels,
goody goody!
So you met someone and now you know how
it feels,
goody goody!

This makes twice in two days that I’m publically, via these threads, telling Cal Thomas that his point of view is woefully unrealistic. If I were a resident of Oz or Sugarplumvisionville, I might see things Cal’s way. However, I believe I have my priorities straight while Cal, sadly, has his priorities twisted up in knots. Wake up, Cal! Our opposition does not consist of ladies and gentlemen. In their hearts, they are thugs. Thugs whose credo is Power At Any Cost. ANY Cost Whatsoever! Moreover, looking back at this crucial juncture in our nation’s history, I believe Dr. Ben Carson will be perceived as having been a gift from God.

I don´t recall Cal calling on obama and Hillary to apologize for their disgusting lies told in front of the transfer cases containing the bodies of our murdered Americans upon their return from Libya. It was obvious to anyone with a pulse that those two jackals politicized a somber event.

Dear Mr. Thomas, I agree that an apology is due, but it ought to coming from the opposite direction.

Typical panty waste mainstream "christian." Doesn´t know how to be a man!!

Shut up, Cal.

Odd that Mr. Thomas doesn´t think that the President owes his opponents an apology for using the prayer breakfast to call them hypocrites.

"I have to say this is now our fifth prayer breakfast and it is always just a wonderful event. But I do worry sometimes that as soon as we leave the prayer breakfast, everything we’ve been talking about the whole time at the prayer breakfast seems to be forgotten — on the same day of the prayer breakfast. (Laughter.) I mean, you’d like to think that the shelf life wasn’t so short. (Laughter.) But I go back to the Oval Office and I start watching the cable news networks and it’s like we didn’t pray. (Laughter.)"

Cal, buddy, you´re forgetting a couple of things...first of all, the libs called all-y all-y oxen-free on these sorts of quibbles long ago when they decided to turn judicial confirmation hearings into political witch hunts...all without considering that the same could be done to them. Second, if the libs had needed to do the same to a Republican president, Reagan, say, they would have, that long ago. All these qualms about upsetting precedents in the name of decorum are out the window and have been for decades...read the memo, buddy. I like you Cal, but you´re focused on one smudged part of the picture..need to jump back and see that the whole rest of it has been painted black...

OK, so the National Prayer Breakfast wasn´t the "correct" venue in which to discuss health care.

But surely someone has to speak the truth publicly to Obama sometime, and what better place than an event where Barry has to remain seated and silent, and just listen?

Barack Obama owes a lot of apologies to a lot of people. Dr. Carson? Not so much.

Dr Carson deserves a standing ovation. Cal Thomas deserves something less appreciative.

Uh Cal, could you bend over any more..

Cal Thomas -- you owe all people with functioning critical facilities an apology.

shut up you old fart and retire already

I disagree Mr Thomas. Fighting back at the Obama Administration policies is the ONLY way to go, at every opportunity.

I believe Cal must has gone all wobbly since he shaved off his mustache.

He looks kinda funny without it. Maybe he´s experiencing withdrawal symptoms . . . and not thinking clearly.

Political polarization is nothing new. What is the purpose of politics if not to express and try to manage serious differences of opinion? If everyone agreed about everything, or if the disagreements were not substantial, who needs politics anyway? I am always amazed when people bemoan the fact that there is heated disagreement about political matters. When has it ever been otherwise? To say that politics has become polarized really says nothing except that one thinks there is more disagreement than there needs to be, or that it is being expressed more passionately than is necessary. But who knows how much disagreement there should be, or how passionately it ought to be expressed?

I am afraid Cal Thomas´ well-meant attempt to be a gentleman and to observe the traditions and formalities just makes him look clueless and ridiculous to many of us. His intentions are praiseworthy, but he clearly does not recognize what we are dealing with. Pretending to be bipartisan or even above politics when dealing with radical Leftists like Obama and his Democrats is foolish. It is a formula for failure. It is one reason -a very big reason in my opinion- that Mitt Romney blew his chance to be president. He tried to act like he was better than that and refused to play by the same rules the Leftists invariably use, i.e. anything goes. We are in desperate circumstances. To nit pick at Dr. Carson for taking advantage of his brief shot at the bully pulpit to sound an alarm for America is to miss the forest for the trees. We need more, not less Benjamin Carsons. He gets it. Cal Thomas, like many on the Right, does not.

Poor Cal...he´s a hair dye victim and it´s affected his brain. When one uses a black ink color for pure white hair—it can affect the brain. Based on the looney tunes opinions he´s offered regarding Dr. Carson, it appears he may well be a dye victim. Whether he is or isn´t, some good advice would be to just shut his pie hole and hope people don´t remember what a fool he´s making of himself.

Certain socioeconomic strata are just weird about "disrespect." Somebody should tell Cal that they call the President "Mister" for a very good reason -- to remind him he´s not a king.

I personally have admired Cal Thomas, but on this one Cal...hog wash...no way shape or form should this fine doctor apologize to this overbearing, arrogant, bully of a president...I respect the Office just not the current occupier!

I´ve listened to the speech several times. Not once did I hear criticisms tied in any way to current policy. I heard a joke about the 4th branch of government - lobbyists. I heard the concept of proportional taxation as a solution coming from God. And the question why it was necessary to hurt the guy who just threw a billion dollars into the pot. And the cost to our nation of muzzling policy discussions with fear of PC claims. And the notion that a quality education is essential to our freedom and prosperity. And the concept of allowing the individual to choose how he spends his health care dollars.

Dr Carson presented ideas on how we can improve. Its only criticism if you are publicly admit to being stuck on stupid.

Cal, when you lost your mustache, you must have misplaced your intellect as well. Sir, Dr. Carson spoke truth to power - something Bill´s Hill screamed for years. If you can´t grasp it, then sit down and fold your hands keeping your lip zipped.

Dr. Carson should apologize by saying, "I´m truly sorry that you, Obama, were elected and re-elected President."

Has Cal Thomas gone senile?

hey cal....did anyone ever....and i mean EVER apologize to W.......he was tormented worse than palin and i never ever heard anyone say I AM SORRY.....btw...dr carson has NOTHING TO APOLOGIZE FOR.....you best retire....you just showed everyone youre not of sound thinking....^5 dr c...continue on.......best speech ive ever heard....

Cal that´s ok, you were due for a wrong one, and we were due for a Carson, so to speak. Thank you Dr Ben good job that was over due, we all have a right to enjoy a great ......... There !!! Take this Mr President......

Whaddayou nuts, Cal? Don´t care how many prayer breakfasts you´ve attended or about your hosting or attending dinners or get-togethers before the events. Who cares...Get it? Somebody - at some point - at some place - has to show the guts to stand up and disagree with ´our most holy-on-high president´. Why are so many ´walking on eggshells´ around this arrogant fool.

I don´t give a flying rat´s patoot whether or not you think Dr. Carson should apologize to Obama. Obama should be apologizing to us and thousands of others for the mess he is making in our country. Butt out, Cal. We don´t need your advice, and neither does Dr. Carson.

Cal must be nuts.
Was he bribed? Blackmailed?
Do not offend the king and tell the truth!

You have the option of sending Cal an email at the end of the article, so I did yesterday:
Dear Mr. Thomas,
What a disappointment and aggravation your column is! Your castigating Dr. Carson over his remarks at the prayer breakfast was every bit as out of line as your opinion that he most likely made Obama “uncomfortable.” With the help of a complicit media, Obama has made a science out of avoiding ANY challenge to his policies and the ability of anyone to debate him on an even footing. I truly hope he was squirming inside and was seething that someone had the audacity to finally pin him in his chair and give him a message he needed to hear, without the media running interference. I was thrilled to see that someone as intelligent and articulate as Dr. Ben Carson was able to FINALLY put a word in for those of us who REALLY know what “uncomfortable” IS, in this disastrous economy Obama has brought down on our heads with his unconstitutional grab for power. Pipe down and let Dr. Carson speak for the people in this country that are at the mercy of the Obama administration and whose children and grandchildren will be burdened with his asinine bureaucracy and tax bill for generations to come!!!

You all can do the same and MAYBE he´ll get the message.

At a SOTU Obama can excoriate SCOTUS sitting not 10 feet from him for a decision he didn´t like, like a spoiled prince but shouldn´t have to suffer the same indignity? How refreshing that someone had the guts to speak his mind. Cal isn´t getting enough sleep. I was shocked and disturbed to read his opinion. Did he opine when Obama insulted some of the (actual) great minds of this country (Roberts does lack common sense)? Maybe he did and I missed it.

I think that Cal Thomas has caught the Eleanor Cliff disease. Quick some one check his glass to see if he´s not drinking the Obama grape koolaid. Dr Carson did speak the truth and it was priceless to see the look of absolute dread on the face of the O´clown. Tell you what Carl old buddy I agree with you. Dr Carson should apologize after you tell your buddies on the left to apologize to the following people for their despicable treatment.
Sarah Palin
SCOTUS Clarence Thomas
Herman Cain
President George W Bush
Rep Allen West
Until that happens Carl you can go take a flying leap off a short ledge. Also take Cliff, Kristol, Will, and Barnes with you.
