Dr. Benjamin Carson’s speech at the National Prayer Breakfast last week astounded many Americans. Some people found strength in Carson’s straightforward discussion about God, family, and politics; yet, other people found the speech offensive. Perhaps no other person categorized Carson’s speech as inappropriate for the occasion more than Bob Beckel.
According to Beckel, Carson’s main purpose in speaking at the National Prayer Breakfast was to gain “15 minutes of fame.” Beckel’s accusation is laughable at best and shows a level of ignorance and incompetence that has become typical of Progressives as of late. If only Beckel had behaved in a manner befitting a true journalist and done his research, he would have found out that Carson is a well-known and highly respected professor of neurosurgery, oncology, plastic surgery, and pediatrics at the reputable Johns Hopkins School of Medicine. Additionally, he has served as the director of pediatric neurosurgery at the Johns Hopkins Children’s Center for more years than Beckel can count. Carson holds over 50 honorary doctorate degrees and is a member of the Alpha Omega Alpha Honor Medical Society and the Horatio Alger Society of Distinguished Americans, amongst other prestigious organizations.
In his speech, Carson used charm, wit, charisma, humor, and intellect to address important issues that concern many Americans today. Unlike Obama’s speeches laden with empty rhetoric, Carson discussed the significance of our liberties, the burden of taxation, and the importance of education for all Americans. Yet, instead of recognizing the significance of the speech to America’s future, detractors such as Beckel have tried to undermine the position of this great American. For Beckel, it would seem that Carson’s gravest sin was his conservative political stance on the issues. Apparently, Beckel has no qualms about applauding speeches given by a man out of touch with America’s heritage with a shady background. Clearly, being a conservative American who loves God, country, and the Constitution would offend any Progressive, especially one as ignorant as Beckel.

What A Fool. Can All Like Beckal Just Go To Jail. Their Cleary Stating “One Nation Under God” Isn’t Valuable Anymore & Moving On 2 Something More Sinister Is Their Pathway.
They’re all so afraid of real people speaking the truth they can’t deal with it,they’re so afraid people will catch on to their lies and plans for destruction. They are far too many brainless,lazy people out there that believe everything those idiots say!
They just keep chipping away every hour of every day at all that is America until there will be nothing left. They will never give up until they destroy us!
..don’t have a defeatist attitute, be a FIGHTER!!
This man is everything they say Obama is, only he is the real thing! I just kept sitting there agreeing with everything he said! What a great gentleman! God Bless Him!
Dr. Carson has already had much more than “15 minutes of fame”. His ideas make more sense than anything that has ever come out of Obama or Bechel’s mouths. As a citizen, he has the right and the duty to speak his opinions (which are full of truth) to so-called power. The Constitution states that our gov’t is to govern with the consent of the governed. This assumes the right of the governed to at least share their views with elected officials. He did that in a very polite and courteous manner. I noticed that Michelle applauded many of his comments. Interesting. Bechel is a nice guy, but he”s an Obot.
The problem is how many of these do we need and how much tax money is the un-needed ones costing us?

If I was Dr. Carson, I would think about getting a bullet-proof vest. Blowbama detractors of high stature seem to have “accidents” at a fairly regular clip these days….God, the POS Pretender-in-Chief s a MAJOR DOUCHE.
Shame this man wasn’t running for President when Obama forged false documents to win in 2012. We might have been looking at another man.
