Before my fellow conservatives jump immediately to defend Candidate Carson, I would ask that they read the following short column.
Some years ago, I became aware of the extraordinary and remarkable career of Dr. Benjamin Carson via the 2009 movie "Gifted Hands" ,a film in which Cuba Gooding, Jr. portrayed the doctor. I even talked about him to my friend and colleague Laurie Roth who, subsequently, interviewed him on her Radio show. Dr. Carson seemed to be an honorable man, conservative and true to his word. However, since he officially began his campaign for the position of POTUS, something appears to have happened to the image of him I once held...something that leaves me feeling ill at ease. And, no...this has nothing to do with the patently false Politico article about him. This has to do with real issues and problems surrounding Dr. Carson's campaign about which the media are aware...but, are largely not reporting. Let's take a look.
Carson-Williams and Nation of Islam
Dr. Carson attracted and maintains Armstrong Williams , Carson's business manager, leading African-American owner of television stations and self avowed conservative , as his top aide and adviser. Both Williams and Carson have spoken out against Islam. However, on 5 October 2015 Williams actually wrote a column praising and supporting Nation of Islam entitled "The Nation of Islam could be Chicago's savior."
On his Radio show in Armstrong also hosted his friend Louis Farrakhan's Nation of Islam's Million Man March 20th anniversary event. Armstrong said "Let's learn from them!" Learn from them? Learn from Farrakhan's own statements that terrorism must be used to kill all white people and destroy the USA? Learn from a group of people who preach hatred and violence? Don't believe me? See the sample video included at the end of this column. Farrakhan is an inherently evil man bent , as is his avowed master Lucifer...aka Allah , upon destroying all of God/s work , including humanity.
Carson to use Department of Education as his hammer
Sounding more like his would-be predecessor, Dr. Ben Carson said he has no intention of getting rid of the Dept. of Education. Instead, he would remake it into a policing type organization that monitors the speech of professors and others at universities and colleges to ensure that bias is not practiced. Suffice it to say, this would be bias which Dr. Carson considers to be bias and the definition could , and likely would – change as does the good doctor's whims. This is totalitarian thinking, folks . and it's chillingly coming from Candidate Carson.
Carson is all for the TPP!
Last Friday, Carson proclaimed that he supported the Obama White House in its plan to force the Trans-Pacific Partnership down the throats of US citizens , a deal that would provide one of the last nails in the coffin of US sovereignty. In a short few months, Ben Carson has gone from faux conservative hero (I'm beginning to believe his prayer breakfast speech was staged with NWO permission if not direction) to likely left of Karl Marx. We have to watch what people do, folks, not just listen to what they say.
Carson has said he's Christian but, his top advisor supports Nation of Islam and is friends with the man who is calling for the overthrow of the USA and genocide of white people! WE HAVE TO WAKE UP. Do we really want another Obama? More and more, Dr. Carson really is looking like a Trojan Horse. Why are the media not hitting him on these items and, instead, publishing information they know is patently false? Have the media been given instruction not to attack Carson on his radical Islamic ties and totalitarian comments? The media refused to truly vet the last POTUS and look what happened to us and our country. Like it or not, we must look at reality and the truth ,even if it is uglier than we like. And, we must earnestly begin understanding reality and truth.
I have. Barack Obama.
Yes, but hearing him is a learning experience by getting to know a shyster politician better.
But Carson’s black and since I only recently sold off my last few slaves, I REALLY have to vote for him - so as to make amends for my past behavior.
That’s as good a reason as any! LOL!
Probably painted by an illegal. Looks like he bought it at a flea market.....
on velvet
Shades of Elvis....
Matter of fact, Carson House reminds me a bit of Graceland, Gaudy, vulgar, over the top shrine,
Good point.
Yes you have. 2008 and 2012. I’ve been dismayed at the support this man seems to garner from white audiences simply because he is black. Apparently there are large populations of whites who feel a congenital need to elevate and adulate minority candidates wherever and whenever they are to be found. I think it is a predominately white female voter reaction. I believe white females represented the largest voting bloc for Obama in 2008 and 2012.
Not so fast. Dr. Carson is supposed to release evidence that China is fighting in Syria sometime this weekend. Probably waiting until after the Democrat debate to expose Hillary as the liar she is.
Sums up my feelings exactly. Sick and tired of these idiots.
But Americans always get the government they really want. Nothing is going to change until Americans demand an end to the bailouts-—that is, middle-class bailouts-—medicare, public education, etc.
“It’s racist to vet black candidates, unless it’s the lib media doing it.”
This why Trump is “vetting” Carson. This is how we ended up with Obola. Obola has absolutely no personal history that’s public thanks to the MSM. Trump needs to put Carson away.
“How do you explain Carson’s support? No one supporting him can give any substantive reason why.”
I think that people are not honestly answering the polls. I know of not one of my Conservative friends who’s in favor of Carson.
“Probably painted by an illegal. Looks like he bought it at a flea market.”
Kinda reminds me of the “Four Dogs Playing Poker” on Black Velvet, and under black light is says “K-Mart.”
He’s a non-politician in an election cycle where outsiders are very popular among voters who are sick and tired of career politicians. It’s the same explanation for Trump’s support, by the way.
China got into Syria through the TPP back door.
If people gave two fXXs about their own country, he would have never have HAD poll numbers to begin with. But they can’t be bothered to spend 5 min researching the people they go across websites screaming with their hair on fire in support of.
White guilt.
Trump’s mask has slipped a few times already too.
Not really.
