Dr. Benjamin Carson won over
conservatives when he railed against many of the big government policies
endorsed by President Barack Obama during the National Prayer Breakfast
last week, at which the president was in attendance.
However, the newly discovered
conservative hero is also getting his first taste of criticism from the
left who say his speech was inappropriate and even offensive. On Monday,
he appeared on Fox News’ “Your World” with Neil Cavuto to respond to
his critics.
“What we need to do is we need to be
able to discuss intelligent ways of solving the multitude of problems
that threatens to destroy our nation. And there are a group of people
who would like to silence everybody and have everybody go along to get
along, but that’s not going to be very helpful for us in the long run,”
Carson said.
“Somebody has to be courageous enough to stand up to the bullies,” he added.
When asked why he took it upon himself
to go “beyond medical policy” and address issues like tax policy, Carson
went back to the Declaration of Independence to make his point.
“One of the things I also said during
the speech, there will be some people who will say, but you’re a doctor
and you’re a surgeon. You should be sticking to that,” Carson explained.
“And I mentioned the fact that five physicians signed the Declaration
of Independence and were involved in the framing of the Constitution and
the Bill of Rights and several other things.”
