“I can remember times when I would be walking in a white neighborhood and in short order a police car would show up, undoubtedly summoned by a concerned onlooker. Unfortunately, this and worse still happens today, as evidenced by the Trayvon Martin case. ”

Where did you get your MD and how long were you the brightest and best of the brain surgeons. How do you measure you wealth

You don’t measure up to his shoe shiner

Dr. Carson is admired greatly by many of us, One question for the good doctor; is it more dangerous for a black man walking through a watchman controlled white area or for a white man walking through a non-watchman controlled black neighborhood?

When the first Carson worshipers here on FR started drooling over him and getting tingles all up and down their legs I pointed out that he had taken an anti-gun stance on a program called hopkins 24/7. I was excoriated by the shallow minded for daring to criticize their newly discovered anti-0bama hero.

Anyone who is willing to restrict firearms access to the peasantry is not conservative and not worthy of support.

He is a political moron. The comment wasn’t about a medical journal he wrote.

He wants to play politics now, and in that endeavor he is in fact a MORON!

Expertise in one field does not necessarily translate to depth of knowledge in another field. Dr. Carson in the operating room is a maestro and his performance at the National Prayer Breakfast was masterful. Those two points can't be argued. This context (firearms) exposed Dr. Carson as a willing participant in racial identity politics, IMO. An increased depth of thinking on this seems indicated if Dr. Carson wishes to seriously play on the stage of conservative politics.

“I can remember times when I would be walking in a white neighborhood and in short order a police car would show up, undoubtedly summoned by a concerned onlooker.

I seriously doubt that. I read your bio. You grew up on the SW side of Detroit, although another bio claims it was "inner city" Detroit. So what "white" neighborhoods were you walking around in?

“Is it moral for us, for example, to take advantage of cheap labor from illegal immigrants while denying them citizenship? I’m sure you can tell from the way I phrased the question that I believe we have taken the moral low road on this issue. Some segments of our economy would virtually collapse without these undocumented workers—we all know that—yet we continue to harass and deport many individuals who are simply seeking a better life for themselves and their families. Is there a way to apply logic to this issue and arrive at an intelligent solution?” -Dr Ben Carson-

An illegal loving gungrabber isn’t a conservative, even if he is pro-life.

St. Skittles was a dangerous thug who was headed for jail, or an early grave at the hands of another drug dealer/thief.

Zimmerman saved us the expense of having to support St. Skittles in jail, supporting his illegitimate children, and or pay the medical expenses to try and save his worthless life after a GSW inflicted on the street after he screwed somebody over in a drug deal.

Yes, Dr. Carson, you have demonstrated that it is with you as it is with all blacks....the brotherhood first, last and always.

Too many, even on FR, jump on these presidential wannabes bandwagons, and then they project what they want their candidate to be/believe/support rather than research what the candidate does actually supports.

It happened with Thompson in 2008, even when some of us were posting that he not only was a supporter of McCain’s Campaign Finance, he was head of the committee that wrote the original McCain-Feingold-Thompson bill.

But, trying to get the blinders off the bandwagoneers is next to impossible — until the s**t hits the fan, the bandwagon crashes, and the supporters are digging out splinters, as with Cain in 2012.

Typical pro-amnesty stance: don't let facts get in the way.

Other than stoop labor in farm fields, I don’t think there are any jobs one would have trouble filling with legal American citizens.

As for those stoop labor illegals, the day they were given legal status they would quit and go to work in construction!

There are a lot of people on the right that “tingled” for Dr. Carson, and also for Colin Powell, and Michael Steele. I think they are hoping for the “great black hope”. They want a black guy to hold up to show that we aren’t racist, and ignore what they actually stand for.

Dr. Carson has made some great speeches. I don’t want him anywhere near the White House.

Yes.

It is a form of white guilt on the Right.

Powell, Rice, Steele, West, Cain, Carson, etc.

The Left/Libs sort of satisfied their white guilt with Clinton, the first black president, and Obama, the first semi-black president.

Agreed. His stance on RKBA is why I never include him on my list of potential POTUS candidates.

I’m not just an RKBA advocate. I’m a zealot.

That ad is really embarrassing, especially the "Run, Ben, run" chant at the end.

Perhaps the good doctor does not want to run, and has deliberately removed himself from consideration knowing the reaction to that statement.

I like Ben Carson but I have been a little uneasy with the Carson for President talk.

I don’t think a black person can look at the Trayvon Martin shooting objectively. They might want to but they just can’t.

What would Ben Carson be saying if a Black watchman had shot a white teeager with a hoodie? I’m guessing not much.

He lost my vote. I know to many people who have been MURDERED with weapons other than guns.

PLEASE NOTE: ALL DUE PROCESS HAS RUN OUT! NOW WHERE IS THE JUSTICE 2 juries decided upon, handed down? Still waiting to be carried out by a governor who is a moderate RINO.

Ashley Nichole (Nikki) Read 8 yrs old. Here is something you can do to help this 8 year old. She has waited 24 yrs for JUSTICE to be carried out. JUST IMAGINE IF SHE WERE YOUR DAUGHTER, GRAND DAUGHTER, SISTER, NIECE.

You do not have to live in TN to call our governor to request justice for Nikki.

TN Gov email is bill.haslam@tn.gov PHONE calls work best 615-741-2001 TN Gov . Phone calls work the best.

This CHILD RAPIST/MURDER HAS RUN OUT OF ALL 20 YRS OF APPEALS, 2 JURIES HANDED DOWN THE DEATH PENALTY, TN GOV Halsam still has NOT SET AN EXECUTION DATE OR SIGNED A DEATH WARRANT, tell him to carry out his Constitutional duty!

This is going on 20 years of appeals. DNA & confession proved he did it.

He raped, strangled to death with her OWN SHOE LACES 8 year old Ashley ‘Nicki’ Read and then threw her body in the river. Even helped hunt for what was thought to be a missing child. Justice has been denied, her mom Debbie still grieves as there is no closure allowed by the Injustice system. She ended up having a nervous break down because it has taken so long and still NO JUSTICE for Nikki.

Her mom has endured lost wages, mental stress, mental break down, and still no end. And she pays taxes that foot the bill for every appeal, every meal, etc. As do I and every Tennessean. And when it comes to the Fed appeals YOU help pay for them.

No, that is not true. I have seen and heard the man. He is very politically astute, sharp as the daggers he slides in so smoothly the target doesn’t feel it till he is mortally wounded.

For those that demand Jesus Christ they will be disappointed. In that situation, he is no different than the host if candidates that don’t ever measure to the standard of purity demanded. It is easier to picknits than to make a hard decision. That’s how obama got elected

He is not running for president but in my view to be the person incharge of the Obamacare replacement.

I don’t care what laws are in Baltimore, it’s not my business, I’m not a citizen there.
