When gifted neurosurgeon Dr. Ben Carson spoke out at the National Prayer breakfast and communicated sound principles, people applauded him. Even I thought his speech was great and I wrote about it. Many were already making bumper stickers and t-shirts with “Ben Carson for President” on them. Well stop the presses. Carson, in a candid moment with Glenn Beck, completely fumbled the Second Amendment, and with that fumble goes any chance of real conservatives or libertarians backing him for office, or at least it should. Carson claimed that people who live in large cities shouldn’t be allowed to own semi-automatic weapons.
Ironically, Carson was an ROTC instructor for Freedom Outpost’s Kevin Fobbs and Fobbs communicated his respect for Carson and his appreciation for the lessons he learned from him in a recent article.
However, though Carson passed on political correctness when it came to the prayer breakfast with Barack Obama looking on not ten feet from where he spoke, on this issue he does not stand with the Constitution and one of the most basic duties of man and that is to be able to defend one’s self, family, community from attackers and tyrannical government.

Ben Carson's "I might get scared, so you can't be free" logic is identical to that of the progressives.
ReplyDeleteA shame. Hopefully he can be "educated."
DeleteEvery day I learn something I wish I didn't know. Maybe I should be normal and quit trying to learn anything. This makes me want to cry.

If he actually decides to run, I believe he would change that statement.
Carson ought to read about Joseph Warren, M.D., Harvard Medical College, who was chairman of the Committee of Correspodence in Boston, 1775. Warren carried his pistols, concealed, in his great coat while making his rounds with his medical students in Boston.
ReplyDeleteDoctor Warren was killed while serving with a rifle at the Battle of Breeds Hill.
Carson, like all physicians need a Constitutional role model, not Stalinist bommie commie types with their drones and gulags.
I'll see if I can find an email and send it to him. Thanks.
