Rarely does a person come along who truly inspires. But every so often, one rises up with a clear voice, offering a confident message brimming with hopeful determination. Dr. Benjamin Carson is the man responsible for the delivery of such a message. During this year’s National Prayer Day Breakfast, President Obama sat helplessly as Dr. Carson methodically dismantled the proposed efficacy of a national liberal agenda. Not only did Dr. Carson cover all the essential conservative talking points, but he did so with enthusiasm and authority.
A self made man who delivered himself out of poverty, the good doctor experientially knows that of which he speaks. Throughout his 27 minute speech, the Director of Pediatric Neurosurgery at Johns Hopkins Hospital passionately endorsed the importance of education, morality, individuality, free thought, self reliance, and personal accountability as essential components for a vibrant America.
The wonderful thing about Dr. Carson is that the ‘powers that be’ just assumed he’d fall in line. The reality is he could have played it safe and nobody would have noticed. But the good doctor would not deny a golden opportunity to speak the truth; and with that opportunity, Carson has restored hope in a God-enlightened humanity.
Overall, it was a very brave and inspiring showing by Dr. Carson. We may have to seriously get behind the increasing possibility that Benjamin Carson gives a shaken and disjointed GOP it’s best opportunity for a victory in 2016. He stands above the politics, he’s fearless, he believes his message 100 percent, and there’s nothing phony about him. The Republican Party currently has some impressive young guns (i.e. Ryan, Paul, Rubio) who are poised to make a good showing; however, I don’t think any of those guys can change the voter tide. Benjamin Carson is the right man, with the right message, at the right time.
Hope and change? Benjamin Solomon Carson, Sr. is thy name!

Yes indeed Dr. Carsons speech was fantastic! I’ve watched it about 3 times so far and I still cannot believe he stood up for what was right and didn’t mind saying what he thought was wrong with our country!
I believe he was a born leader and boy do we need a thousand more just like him.
I just hope the goons and thugs in the WH doesn’t get to him and reprogram his brain!
God help him and protect him!
That Doctor Benjamin is who we need to help right this country. Men like Alan West, also. There are a few good men left. There is Rubio (his parents were born in Cuba, but they were a protectorate of the U.S. at the time, so that may count as being natural born citizens. That should be researched by Truth in the Constitution thoroughtly so he will not be eliminated. I am thinking this would be OK. I am not 100 percent sure, but there must be a certainty before he runs. I mean a certainty because if he is not eligible, I will be on his case like peanuts on peanut butter, as will others for as much as I like Rubio. The Law Will apply to all. There are good men who are not being heard who will help lead this country away from the thug administration that is destroying this country. These people need to be heard.
I’m all for that, Dr. Benjamin Carson for president. And all the adjectives given here really do apply, intelligent, perceptive, courageous, educated, and definitely a U.S. citizen who loves our country. We have all discovered that this so important. May Dr. Carson please consider running for office for the good of our country? I sincerely hope so.
Greta had a survey as to Dr Carson’s speech night before last and I think she got a million positive votes for the speech, America is hungray for people with a good head on their shoulders and are proud of it. I wish there would be more of them, I love to watch Obama’s face while listening to a speech such as Dr. Carson’s was, doesn’t seem to sink in though, does it, because he’s king and can do no wrong, just as he wants!
Jackie, how on earth did Greta get so many positive responses when Obama tells us HE got a mandate from the American people to do what he’s doing??? What a mystery! Could our fearless leader be lying??? This country is thirsty for a Dr. Carson as prez!!!!! Love that man and his fantastic speech!!
If Obama’s lips are moving, he is lying. The question is has he ever told the truth about anything?
Carson-Bachmann 2016: In God We Trust.
Dr. Carson speech was excellent!!!!! Can we trade Obama in for him…..
Carson’s speech towered over anything Obama has EVER said to the people of the United States. For one thing, Carson is honest, we know who he is, we know where he hails from. He’s not afraid to talk about his background and Obama is, to the point of being psychotic about it. These are two different people with two diametrically opposed beleifs about the USA. Carson’s gets it right, Obama wants to take us down.
chrisfarrell,
How do you justify supporting a candidate for President/Vice-President who held dual citizenship during her candidacy for President in the 2012 election? I have read many of your comments previously and agreed with them, but am perplexed you would support someone whose legal allegiance violates constitutional intent.
What about Carson — Rubio or Carson – West or West – Rubio or Rubio West. Somehow all of them close, at least to the top. West would be good over the Military, too.
Rubio and Jindahl are both constitutionally ineligible as both were born to foreign parents (on U.S. soil) who did not become naturalized citizens until AFTER Marco’s and Bobby’s births. Therefore, neither is a natural born Citizen.
You are mistaken on that. It does not matter if parents are immigrants. If the children are born on US soil, they are US citizens, straight up. They are BOTH eligible.
Let me add to my short comment above. I do not know where you got your information. If just the pregnant mother enters the US, legally or otherwise, (ie, illegal aliens from Mexico) and the child is born on US soil, (ie Texas), that child is now a US citizen (before every child born in a US hospital is released, they get a social security number). Also, check out the emerging problem we have now, (birthing houses run by the Chinese). The children are born here (receive a social security number, the mother and newborn go back to China, then the child, as a US citizen will re-enter the US), and are legal US citizens to either be friend or foe.
Doylesgirl,
You are correct that the current interpretation, although incorrect, of the 14th Amendment grants CITIZENSHIP to anyone born on U.S. soil, whether the parents are here legally or illegally. However, the requirements for President and Vice-President are that a qualified person must be a NATURAL BORN CITIZEN, not just a citizen. A natural born Citizen can only be born of parents who are already U.S. citizens, either born or naturalized. In both Rubio’s and Jindahl’s cases, their parents were still citizens of their previous countries, in Rubio’s case, Cuba and in Jindahl’s case, (I think) India. That means both Marco and Bobby were born with DUAL citizenship; U.S. citizenship from being born in the U.S. and the citizenship of their parents because the parents still held that citizenship. A dual citizen cannot be a natural born Citizen.
The special requirement for President and Vice President–a requirement that is not necessary for any other Office in the United States–is there to prevent a person from assuming our Executive Office and being Commander-in-Chief of our military forces while holding allegiance to another country. A dual citizen owes allegiance to both of his countries of citizenship. Therefore: NOT ELIGIBLE FOR PRESIDENT!!!!!
This is precisely why Obama has never been eligible to hold the Office of Presidency. At birth he was, at best, a dual citizen of the U.S. and Great Britain (through his father.) It doesn’t matter if he renounced the British/Kenyan citizenship (although there is no legal evidence that he did so). He cannot be a natural born Citizen as he is a dual-citizenship born citizen. Therefore: INELIGIBLE!!!!
Bachmann held dual citizenship? That’s news to me.
Bachmann held Swiss citizenship through her husband and didn’t reject that citizenship until after she ended her campaign.
Dr. Carson put “Slave Boy” to shame at the prayer breakfast and he did with dignity,pride and conviction. His heart and soul spoke for those of us who need a strong voice to tell the truth about ovomits intent to destroy America. He Dr. Carson was a breath of fresh air,and i truly believe he is the one who is going to lead us in the revolution that,s to come.
Thank you, Dr. Carson for putting ovomit in his place,someone needed to bring him back down to earth and remind him more then 55% of Americans can,t stand the traitor of the Constitution.
my notes: he is a smart man,is not afraid to talk of his back ground and that anyone can make it,if they put their mind to it. he had a caring,loving mother,who wouldn’t give up on either son. he has real belief in true religion, loves our country. saw,heard him in speech ,thru my hospital, in orlando, a remarkable man, not like or meathead dictator. wish all the luck in his retirement in june,though he will contimnue with research and medicine,who knows ,what else. media coldn’t stand it, as he really over did obama, love,love, it. patricia,orl,fla
What is going to be sad is the msm will not give him “Dr. Carson” the opportunity the press he deserves to reach as many Americans as possible,their so in love with the phony and liar ovomit.
So i think it,s going to be our responsibility to one let him know how much we appreciate him and two;let as many people know about him and encourage him to keep fighting in our behalf.
God Bless Dr. B. Carson
When media is controlled & the truth is spun, sometimes you need to take advantage of an unorthodox opportunity to share vital truths….the left are upset because they were unable to manipulate the message…..Dr Carson is the guy who can reverse the damage caused by liberal indoctrination & low-voter IQ
Please save all the comments made here, advertise the hell out of this,I ask all who read this to send this with a link to the speech to all in your address book. Dr Carson’s sage words are the most powerful message I have heard in a long time.We need to get this out to all who can read, and play the video for those who can not
I have sent the video of Dr. Carson to all my contacts. What an inspiration amid all this depressing news and the legitimate worry that we may be witness to the end of this great nation. I realize the country might be able to survive but if Obama is not stopped or at least slowed down it will be a vastly changed country. No longer will we have that great pride most all of us have felt that we are part of the greatest experiment in the history of governance. But we might be the generation which stood by and let that experiment fail. How can the world even avoid destruction when the United States is no longer able to offer resistance to the oppressive forces just waiting for our demise as a superpower? I realize a lot of our prestige has already been lost but with just a few great men like Dr. Carson and Dr. Cahn and a backbone installed in our weak rino Congress that tide could be turned. We should never forget how quickly the entire world was changed between 1980 and 1988! We know it can be done but it has got to start somewhere! So far I don’t see a start. Thanks for this place to vent from.
Something is not right with that bunch of Congressmen who allowed that Obama to get where he is.
I meant to offer my ticket for the 2016 election……..Carson-Rubio!!
Rubio is constitutionally ineligible. His parents make him ineligible because they were Cuban immigrants. BOTH parents must be American citizens at the time of his birth. He was born in 1971. His parents didn’t become legal until 1976. Therefore, he is constitutionally ineligible as vice president to be president. We have had enough of constitutional ineligibility. We must stick to the Constitution.
Don’t let Rubio fool you. He would be no different than what we have now. He would open the flood gates to illegal immigrants and other nonsense. As they say, blood is thicker than water.
I like Dr. Carson and Colonel West
You are mistaken on that. It does not matter if parents are immigrants. If the children are born on US soil, they are US citizens, straight up. They are BOTH eligible. I do not know where you got your information. If just the pregnant mother enters the US, legally or otherwise, (ie, illegal aliens from Mexico) and the child is born on US soil, (ie Texas), that child is now a US citizen (before every child born in a US hospital is released, they get a social security number).

See reply above – to your first comment.
The lyrics to “Mary Had a Little Lamb” tower over anything Obama has ever said.
I hope nothing happens to him!
Because WE CAN HANDLE THE TRUTH!!
