Ben Carson
Ben Carson Scares Both GOP and Left with His
Unfiltered Truth

When people talk about the Primary
season and who the GOP field will be, there is one name that is almost
forgotten. Ben Carson, the outspoken retired neurosurgeon, has made no
secret his desire to run in 2016. He has been criticized for his off the cuff
comparisons, which seem to have a duel effect. They make the leftist media cry
foul and the GOP establishment cringe.
In the past, he has made such
comparisons as, the Nazi Government in Germany and the current U.S. government.
This brought much fire from the left and the center. Yet, in my
opinion, it was pretty much on target
.
What Carson meant was that they both sought to silence their critics.

Another comparison of Carson
was that Obamacare was the worst thing to happen to America since slavery. He
said: “it is slavery in a way because it is making all of us subservient to the
government.”
Again, I think that he is exactly right in
this assessment. If we are beholden to the government for our health care, they
own us. How can you resist someone who decides who gets what treatments and
when?
Well, Carson made the news again
with one of his famous comparisons. This time the comparison was between American
patriots and ISIS fighters. Now before you lose
it and start
blowing up the commits, let me explain. In the end, you might find that it is a
good comparison. After praising American patriots for their willingness to die
for what they believe, Carson said this about ISIS:
it and start
blowing up the commits, let me explain. In the end, you might find that it is a
good comparison. After praising American patriots for their willingness to die
for what they believe, Carson said this about ISIS:
“They got the wrong philosophy, but
they’re willing to die for what they believe, while we are busily giving away
every belief and every value for the sake of political correctness,”
CNN spun the story this way:
“Physician Ben Carson on Thursday held up ISIS, a terrorist group that’s
beheaded multiple Americans, as an example for the United States during
comments . . .”
So why don’t we take a second and
see if that was a good way to summarize Dr. Carson’s comment?
First, we have to see that what
Carson was comparing was commitment and lack of commitment. Yes, it is true
that ISIS is responsible for beheading multiple Americans, but he was not
speaking of their evil and telling Americans to do the same. Rather, the
comparison was between ISIS’s commitment to what they believe and their
willingness to die for that commitment and Americans lack of commitment to
their beliefs.
I think Dr. Carson was correct in
this assessment. We as Americans have allowed titles and name calling to keep
us from speaking truth. We are not willing to be called racist,
bigot, hater, or anything else the left will say in our stand for freedom or
righteousness.
Dr. Carson was not calling Americans
to beheading and terror tactics. He was not saying that ISIS was people that
we should emulate. And Alexandra Jaffe of CNN knows that this is not what he
meant. This points to a well-known situation that needs to be watched in the
upcoming primary.
The left is terrified of Dr. Ben
Carson. Because, though he is not that strong in the GOP, he probably has a
good chance of winning the Presidential election. Carson unlike a Bush or
Romney is not afraid to call a spade a spade or a communist a communist. Here’s
hoping that Carson continues to “keep it real.”
