BJ Lawson: He’s NOT a Medical Doctor: Is He The New Face of the Klan in Politics?
Last Saturday I received a phone call from a contrite BJ Lawson explaining that he did not intend to censor my post on his blog in response to Angry MavTek, but that he just was awaiting me to clarify attribution of the remarks to MavTek versus Lawson’s Facebook Coordinator. I did agree for him to make that clarification as editor of his blog. Now, here’s the breaking news I got from that conversation with Lawson…
BJ Lawson, Republican candidate for Congress in the 4th Congressional District (which includes about 25% of Raleigh and Wake County; most of Durham and perhaps all of Orange County) has made a statement that I can find nowhere on his website, blog nor any of his posts online….
BJ Lawson, who is opposing Augustus Cho (former Orange County Republican Chairman) in the Republican Primary for the 4th Congressional District and the opportunity to run against the Liberal Democrat, ant-Christian, pro-abortion, pro-homosexual, anti-traditional marriage incumbent Democrat Congressman David Price. This is the same Congressman Price who tried to have this Radio/TV Talk Show host kicked out of a public town hall meeting which Price hosted back in 1994 at the Fuquay Varina High School, because I had the audacity to bring with me a Christian Coalition Voter Guide and ask Mr. Price to explain why he voted “yes” or “no” on specific legislation.
The licentious libertarian Lawson had ignored my direct question which I twice posted to his blog last week. The question was very simple and direct: Do you support a Constitutional Amendment to remove the birthright of American citizenship from the babies born to illegal aliens?
LAWSON STATED “I DO” SUPPORT AN AMENDMENT TO THE CONSTITUTION…
to remove the birthright of citizenship from the babies born on American soil to illegal aliens. To this Publisher, this is shocking and hypocrisy. It is a duplicity in his handling of two critical problems facing Americans, that of the threat of Militant Homosexuals and their agenda to get government validation for their sodomy and that of the overwhelming flood of illegal immigrants to the USA. Lawson made the semantical distinction that this would be an “amendment to an the 14th Amendment and not the Constitution.” Thats a semantical argument over words. Lawson further contradicts his 10th Amendment limited government stick by supporting the Human Life Amendment, which to his credit he is correct to support, it is after all part of the Republican Party platform since Reagan.
The fact is that our founding fathers provided one mechanism to amend the Constitution. When Prohibition was passed as the 18th Amendment, they did not abolish it by amending the amendment, they had to pass the 21st Amendment to the Constitution. So it is with taking away citizenship as a birthright to all Americans. Just think of the horror stories, the Orwellian nightmare prospect of a federal bureaucrat inspecting documents to determine if you and your parents (one or both of whom could be dead or have Alzheimer’s) were in fact both born in the USA “legally”!
Regardless of what you believe about whether the Constitution should be amended to protect the traditional Judeo-Christian definition of marriage (and I do wholeheartedly believe that such an amendment is absolutely critical in the face of the liberal judical activism of the courts); and regardless of what you think should be done to solve the problem of illegal immigration which threatens the very sovereignty and national security of our great Republic, one must be consistent in how they apply a test to when the Constitution should be amended.
Lawson stated in the phone call on 3/22/2008 at about 5:05 PM, that he saw it as “amending the 14th Amendment and not as amending the Constitution”. That is about as political a sidestep and spin of a straightforward question as this Radio and TV Talk Show Host has ever heard! BJ Lawson, who is running against Augustus Cho in the May 6th, 2008 Republican Primary for Congress in the 4th US Congressional District, has adamantly stated multiple times that he thinks that the Constitution is too sacred a document to amend to protect the traditional definition of marriage between one man and one woman, but he has no problem amending the Constitution to deny citizenship to a certain ethnic group of babies born on American soil.
That stinks of duplicity! Of course if you want to be permissive on sodomy and you want to attract racists who oppose Hispanics from coming to America and staying when they have babies, then this is perfectly understandable.
When BJ Lawson saw me coming out of the Wake County Republican Party Convention at Daniels Middle School back on March 18th I was carrying a yard sign for Augustus Cho, the Christian Conservative Republican candidate whom Lawson is opposing in this primary eletion, Lawson said to me “Chuck you look a little out of balance there. You need one of these (holding his own sign).” I stated “Cho is my candidate.” BJ Lawson then stopped and stood about 10 feet from me, he paused for effect and asked a rhetorical question:
“Do you think a man like him, can win in this district?”
Publisher’s Note: Augustus Cho is a Korean born American Citizen.
Is BJ Lawson playing the race card or is he just stoking the coals when he implies that the good people of the 4th Congressional District will not vote for a Korean American like Augustus Cho? You decide. I know what I believe and it frightens me! Combined with his licentious libertarians views about homosexuality, illegal drug usage, gambling, prostitution and other social sins, which are totally permissive and contribute to moral anarchy because they prohibit any social legislation; this is antithetical to our Judeo-Christian worldview, Biblical moral code and traditional family values.
Finally, some of BJ Lawson’s supporters are promoting him as “Dr. Lawson”. BJ Lawson told me personally last fall when I asked if he was a medical doctor like Ron Paul, whom Lawson was campaigning for at the State Fair when I first met him, Lawson replied “No, I left the residency to start a software company.” This is also confirmed by his own campaign website which states in part “I left residency in 2001 to start a medical software company”.
Translation, he never completed his residency to practice medicine and is not a medical doctor although he may have a degree. When you allow your supporters to put you forth in their fundraising appeals as “Dr. Lawson” and you are not, you are practicing deception. It seems that Mr. Lawson should spend a little more time in the Bible that he claims he would carry with him to DC to read the 9th Commandment.
For the record, I do support Augustus Cho www.choforcongress.com for the 4th District of Congress in the May 6th Republican Party primary (but have received no remuneration from either Cho nor his campaign) and believe he has what it takes to beat the Liberal Democrat Socialist incumbent, elitist David Price of the 4th Congressional District.

Chuck,
You are one heck of a propaganda machine. I don’t speak for BJ at all, but your ammending the constitution comparison is weak. If you were a real conservative Christian you would believe that marriage is a religous institution and under the constitution it says right in the very beginning that Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof. This means that marriage, a religous institution, should not be regulated by government. It should be left alone for religous institutions to handle. Get over it! This has absolutely nothing to do with birthright citizenship. The birthright citizenship problem comes from a controversial misinterpretation of the 14th ammendment by the Supreme Court. If we really followed and understood the Constitution than there would be no need to ammend it either.
As far as your claim that BJ is a racist. Get real man.. You are so full of propaganda it is rediculous. Cho has zero chance of winning in Chapel Hill because he is a Neo-Conservative who can’t even bring home the Republican base. Everytime he opens his mouth he has to attack Ron Paul supporters and Libertarians. That has to be the stupidest logic I have ever seen in my life. Doesn’t he, realize that he needs their support to win? And how in the world will he convert Democrats? The district is so heavily outnumbered by Democrats, that even BJ would have a hard time. Cho supports the Iraqi invasion/ debacle in Iraq! BJ is against the war, as should any real conservative. Spreading Freedom and democracy around the world.. at gun point? What a bunch of liberal BS. Wake up man.. it’s time. I’m 33.. what’s your excuse for missing the point?

btw.. I didn’t spell check or proof read so don’t waste your time criticizing my grammar.

I’ve talked to BJ about why he thinks he can win where Augustus Cho and most of the folks who have run against Price in the last few elections have not. It is because they keep coming out with the same set of ideas that don’t really address the issues that connect with people. He has told me that it is amazing to him that although polls show that folks are fed up with the status quo in the Republican Party (empirialism, huge deficit spending when they are supposed to be the party of limited government, Patriot act, etc.), the party keeps putting up people saying the same things and not indicating any specific things they would do to reduce the size and influence of the federal government and they think they are going to get different results Mr. Cho’s race has nothing to do with it… You are reading things into BJ’s statements that are just not there.

Hi Chuck,
I’m confused as to how you drew the conclusion that BJ is a racist person.

Dear CEO-Duff,
Suggest you get off it and read my posts before asking dumb or leading questions. What I said, I stand by.

By the way, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Doctor_of_Medicine explains that “M.D.” is a degree, not a sign of current practice. I believe BJ has earned that degree, though he is not currently practicing medicine. It states clearly on his website “After receiving my medical degree in 2000, I started neurosurgery residency at Duke University.” There are many people who have earned degrees that aren’t currently practicing whatever their degree is in. That doesn’t take away their degree or make them a fraud. People with Ph.Ds and M.D.s and law degrees are often given a title that gives them honor for completing the difficult degree. If he earned it, he can have the title. He does not hide the fact that he is not currently practicing medicine. He also states plainly on his website, “Despite a strong calling to medicine, I saw an opportunity to address a fundamental inefficiency in our healthcare system: to take care of patients, all physicians need timely and portable access to patient information. I left residency in 2001 to start a medical software company that solved that problem.”

His website is http://www.lawsonforcongress.com/ where you can learn a lot about him. At the top of his “reading list” is “The Bible, by God”.
