Four more years!” The last president to embark on a third term was the philanderer

Is Dr. Carson Making Believe? by Jake MacAulay Since I released my column last week titled “ Just What are Gay Rights?”  I have received a lot of feedback. Especially since a day later Dr. Ben Carson made a clarification of his Gay Rights statements.
