CARSON: ‘I DON’T BELIEVE IN THE PROGRESSIVE MODEL OF YOU POOR, POOR LITTLE THING’

GOP presidential candidate Dr. Ben Carson stated “I don’t believe in the progressive model of you poor, poor little thing, you’re the victim and I’m going to take care of you” on Wednesday’s “Fox & Friends” on the Fox News Channel.

Carson said, “I have a very deep concern for the downtrodden in our society. If you go back and you look at my history, you will see that is consistently the pattern, putting in reading rooms, particularly in Title I schools around the country, going around and speaking at schools. I had a program at the hospital where we had hundreds of kids come in, and I would talk to them, and show them slides, and try to get them encouraged. It’s just that I don’t believe in the progressive model of you poor, poor little thing, you’re the victim and I’m going to take care of you, because that’s not getting us anywhere, and I’m trying to wake people up.”

He added, “it’s a false narrative that I want to get rid of all of welfare and all the programs. That’s just something that the left-wing puts out to try to make me seem like a bad guy. That’s absolutely a lie. But what I do want to do is get business, industry, academia, Wall Street, churches, community groups involved and investing in people around them. Because that’s the only thing that brings people out.” And “since the 60s, we’ve spent over 19 trillion dollars on the war on poverty. What do we have? 10 times more people on food stamps, more welfare, more incarceration and crime, broken families, out of wedlock birth. Everything was supposed to be better, it’s not only worse, it’s much worse.”

Carson commented on Hillary Clinton’s server being turned over..

Video at link. FTA: “since the 60s, we’ve spent over 19 trillion dollars on the war on poverty." The late Ed Koch said that if all the $$$ spent since the inception of the "war on poverty" were simply divided up evenly amongst everyone who falls below the poverty line, they would be much better off. So it's obvious these gov't run programs are NOT in place because of a sincere heartfelt desire to help poor people improve their situations.

But think of all the poverty these programs have prevented for the deadhead government employees...

Whatever. He supports abortion if the innocent person to be killed was conceived as a result of rape or incest.

I pledge before God that I will not vote for him.

I am still a Cruz guy but I love Carson, we have a great bench and can run the field.

To bad our GOPe coach is an alcoholic and a drug addict.

He supports abortion if the innocent person to be killed was conceived as a result of rape or incest.

That's not what he said last night on TV, he said NO to all abortions. The reporter tried to bate him into saying that he even supports abortion even if the mother's life is at risk.

He responded that with modern medical advancements that's a bunch of BS.

AMEN.

I can’t believe how many people fall for the wicked lies of democrat progressive liberals. They see their constituents as helpless infants incapable of caring for themselves. They have utter contempt for their constituents.

And the constituents love it!!! They vote for them every single time. 50 years after Jim Crow laws and blacks ghettos are worse than they’ve ever been.

Carson is a good man. A very good and honorable man. I wish he had the gusto of Trump. But we’ll see. He may be coming out of his gentle shell. He’s been a caring doctor his hole life. Maybe now, he’s learning to be a fighter. I like what I see.

Good for Carson.

It’s the “bigotry of low expactations” that leftists have. Only government can help these poor unfortunate souls...

Please do not make statements same as liberals make; show us the facts. Give us a link or article where he says this.

“War On Poverty’’ and we end up with more of it. “War On Hunger’’ and Food Stamp enrollment is up. “War On Drugs’’ and drugs are more plentiful than ever. Why doesn’t the government give up this”War’’ on everything already? The poor have cell phones, cars and flat screen tvs. Hunger? Ever go to a shopping mall and see have many fat 10 year old boys with breasts there are? Drugs? Criminals control the manufacture sale and distribution of drugs and the banks launder the money. Legalize the crap for cryin’ out loud. It’s take id to buy booze but kids don’t get asked for id to buy drugs.

Like a liberal? FU.

[beachn4fun]

screw you.

That proves nothing. Getting a morning-after pill does NOT mean you are pregnant, so it is NOT abortion!

“Getting a morning-after pill does NOT mean you are pregnant, so it is NOT abortion!”

If you *are* pregnant, it most certainly *is* abortion, and the number of times that happens is not zero.

Back to DU with you.
