I keep thinking that when a host asks Carson why he talked about tax policy or why he talked about debt in front of Obama, he’ll hedge in some way so it doesn’t look like he’s attacking Obama. But he never does! And I love that about him.

He was on with Cavuto earlier today and it was a great interview. Watch below:

Even now the MSM is working on a rebuttal.

Somehow they will link him to a "white" something or other and then the next step will be to use the Uncle Tom verbiage - to distance him/separate him from the Plantation folk.

Have you all noticed how much of a David Versus Goliath moment this was with our modern day David (Dr. Carson) versus the modern day Goliath bully (Obama)? And Moochele Obama was sitting right there and sometimes applauding Dr. Carson while her megalomaniac husband sat mostly stone faced while Dr. Carson hit him time and time again right between the eyes with wisdom of Divine Providence.

I don't even think the "dear leader" had a clue as to what really hit him.

Which is good!

By the way has Mark Levin mentioned anything on his shows about Dr. Carson's speech?

I haven't been able to listen to all of Mark Levin's shows but I get the feeling that he hasn't said too much if anything about Dr. Carson's speech. If he has please let me know what it was. I'd be interested in what Dr. Levin had to say about Dr. Carson.

No one can accurately predict the future

resolution of the abortion battle. Much

will depend on whether society can be

awakened to the nefarious designs and

the subtle, satanic dishonesties of the

death peddlers.

Someone said: The brave walk in single

file, while the timid hide in crowds. It is

already late in the day for those who love

life and cherish the rights of all to leave

the crowd.

One thing is certain: we must continue to fight.

I like how Dr. Ben Carson is REALLY under Bob Beckle's skin.

Comment x-posted at iOTW.

I liked his remarks about people from all walks of life being involved: "we brought people from all backgrounds into the legislative process". People had an interest in what happened, because they apprehended that what ever it was, it would happen to them. They understood the right to shape things on their behalf, and the responsibility to shape things on behalf of a civil society informed by the transmission of values agreed upon to be important for its health.

"An uneducated populace will fall for anything"

- And they have.

I do not automatically assign the wish for him to be president. It's a natural impulse compared to what we have now.

Note to the liberals, who are having a hissy over Dr. Carson's true and profound words. This is what an educated and faithful man looks like! He does not have to shout, act vulgar, degrade others to build himself up, nor push lies to convince you he knows what he's doing. Dr. Carson is a Godly, educated man of substance and Odumbo is an empty-headed suit, who got where he is by exploiting a phoney past, a phoney education, and made alliances with dangerous individuals, hell bent on destroying our nation and it's citizens. God bless Dr. Carson for standing up to the liberal bullies!

I know there's such thing as "currency," but I wish folks on the right would temper their tendency to swoon over every new guy that speaks the truth. I loved his speech, but I'm a little put off by his distancing himself from a "side" in this political era. Reminds me a bit of Rubio, frankly.

Kudos to the man for speaking truth to Obama. We need more like him. But honestly, people are already calling on him to run for President, and like we saw with General Powell back in 2000, and more recently, General Petraeus, they really have no clue where the man's allegiance lies. I'm sure he'd say something like "it lies with the truth," but the truth isn't putting up candidates for office.

Let's watch the man for a while and see what he does. If he starts talking about Restoration of the Constitution, then let's sit up and pay attention. But so far, he's simply mentioned a few well-known concepts already articulated by people like Allen West, Sarah Palin, Walter Williams, Thomas Sowell, Mark Levin, and many others. What, we throw them all under the bus now?

Give 'em hell, Doctor Carson! But let's stay vigilant, everyone.

Spoiler Alert:

I'm sure the MSM is taking a crash "Dr. Ben Carson" course. Along their studies, they will find that he has a very traditional view of marriage. Mark my words, it will be the issue that they try to hang him with. We need to stand by him and stand up for traditional values.

Isn't it a crying shame that someone like Dr Carson - or Allen West, or Herman Cain, or Mia Love, for that matter - are not the role models for black kids?

Obviously, the well-known hate preachers in the meejah, and the 'role models' promoted by those meejah, will keep black kids uneducated, and teach them to be violent 'gangstas', for the good reason that they thus can be kept 'on the plantation'.

I wish some black leaders would stand up, point to Dr Carson, and tell the above to shut it, and accuse them of destroying their own race.

Btw - can someone tell Cavuto to STFU and let his interviewees actually get a word in edgewise?

I've said it before, I'll say it again - how the hell did you end up with that guy as your first black president?

Frm my UK vantage point I can see that the US has a more educated, far more established black middle/professional class (in the UK middle class is doctors/lawyers/accountants etc - we call your middle class "working class") than we have. I suspect this is because we have had welfarism longer than you have and so our black people are more likely to be trapped in it than your own - there is no doubt that historic racism has put barriers in he way of black people both sides of he pond and I guess faced with that, welfare offers a seductive safety/entrapment net.

Am I dissapoint that Blacks are not dissapointed that this deadbeat president is the 1st Black President. It truly is dissapoint. Of all people in America, Blacks should have the deepest contempt for this president. Black umemployment is the worst among the nations, and not a word from the CBC (so called Black leaders, they are hacks for the Dem Party). If it was Bush or any other GOP President, we wouldn't hear the end of it!

Dr. Carson said on FOX News Sunday Morning show that he's an Independent, not a Democrat or a Republican, but if there was something called "the Logic Party" he'd be a member of that.

It was another great interview that everyone on this blog will certainly enjoy.

Go to the website: http://www.theblaze.com/stories/2013/02/10/ben-carson-logic-party/

It is another brilliant tour-de-force by the good doctor.

Dr. Carson is a shining example of "America, the Beautiful."

He says he's retiring from surgery in June but will continue to teach and with retirement from surgery it will open up many new possibilities, which I take to mean he is considering a run for high office and I would love to see him run for president. I'd be more than happy and thrilled to work on his campaign.

I love this guy and his honest, common sense attitude. Forthright and honest without being bitter or accusing. The motus really looked uncomfortable with this other black man making so much sense and I would say he was even charismatic.....Obama likes to think only he has the gift of speaking. And the respectful doctor didn't use a telepromptor either. I didn't even notice him using notes. Loved the story about sending his mom the 2 birds.

Hmm...

So, Dr. Carson is retiring from surgery in June 2013, huh?

Hmm...

Dr. Carson knows health care.

Gov. Palin knows oil.

I'm not sure if this is the first expression of choice, but, here goes.

Gov. Palin for POTUS in 2016

Dr. Carson for VPOTUS in 2016

Paging Sarah Louise Palin, the LADY with the 'servant's heart' for 2016...

Paging Ben Carson, the GENTLEMAN with the 'servant's heart' for 2016...

Dittos...

And, keyesforpres, the 'why' of the ticket makes sense too and can't be beat.

The political newbies make an excellent bullpen.

Dr. Carson's lack of political experience is definitely NOT a detriment to a Palin/Carson ticket.

Why?

'Cause a VPOTUS is an enhancement to the presidential candidate...

... as demonstrated by the succinct common sense articulation by Dr. Carson of, for example,

1- the health savings account (HSA) from the cradle to the grave and

2- the equal 10% tax that discards the 'the-more-you-make-the-more-they-take' tax, aka the marxist progressive tax of the February 3, 1913 16th amendment,

ALSO can't be beat.

Are you kidding right now! Do you reallllllly believe what you posted? Cruz was Solicitor General for Texas for 5 years including graduating from Princton and Harvard. Look, his career did not just start as a Senator from Texas. Additionally, he had overwhelming competition from the State of TX and he wins and he didn'tdo it by demonizing his competition like Obama does time and time again. So he is absolutely beyond qualified.

What a bullpen...

My main reason for adducing Gov. Palin for POTUS is her honorable political experience in Alaska.

1-

Sarah,, the woman, whupped the men in Alaska by defeating a sitting Republican Governor... AFTER exposing the corruption in the oil commission of which she was the Chair.

2-

Sarah, the governor, whupped the recalcitrant oil companies into line in less than 2 years... BEFORE Sen. McCain asked her to be his VPOTUS.

Allan West... needs more political experience.

Ted Cruz... stay there for at least 1 term.

Dr. Carson, without political experience, would have the advantage of being tutored by a President Palin about how to deal with the politicos... progressive Democrats and progressive Republicans and Tea Party constitutionalists.

However the cookie crumbles, God 'ain't no not' finished with America... yet.

PS.

If it's Hillary and Sarah in 2016... Sarah is a winner... 'cause 4 more years of BHObama a la Hillary is a no go no how no way no uh uh.

Tired of "this one don't have the experience to run." Oblamer couldn't stand side by side to Palin when it comes to experience, yet the dimwit got into office.

I say they're ripe enough if they are a constitutionalist in deed and in fact.
