Ben Carson is probably best known for his work as a neurosurgeon, but in recent months he has become a conservative firebrand and today he offered some controversial red meat to the audience at the Values Voter Summit in Washington.

Carson, who is a contributor to Fox News, assailed president Obama’s health care law, saying it is akin to slavery.

“I have to tell you, you know Obamacare is really, I think, the worst thing that has happened in this nation since slavery,” Carson said. “And it is slavery in a way because it is making all of us subservient to the government.”

Carson, who is African American, went on to say that the administration’s push toward Obamacare is reminiscent to a push toward socialism.

“It was never about health care, it was about control,” Carson said. “That’s why when this administration took office it didn’t matter that the country was going off the cliff economically. All forces were directed toward getting this legislation passed.

The comments weren’t that funny, they were written by brainwashed obots.

“Want a good laugh? Read the comments.”

I did. I didn’t realize just how many mental cases are running loose out there. And they vote. Many of them several times.

Want a good laugh? Read the comments.

laugh? no, more like viewing insanity. The rabid hatred for Ben Carson is amazing. The vast majority of comments are from vile , soulless leftists. They are evil to a man and a woman.

There is truly a great divide in this Republic.

If somehow we could split the country in two -- Socialist, leftists in one area, Conservatives and Constitutionalists in another, within a few years, the Socialists would be plotting war against us.

They would be driven insane by our wealth and happiness.

If only.

The law of unintended consequences is under full enforcement.

Disagree. I believe that the result of doctors quitting, and new doctors stopping training before gaining a specialty, is intended to increase the number of Americans dying of preventable causes. Further, the government gets to pick who lives and who dies. This is the big prize.

Dr. Carson was invited as a guest speaker at my school when the Idea of BammyCare was being discussed in its early stages. He was agonist it then. The faculty hated him for it.
