Rheo Posted February 8, 2013 Share Posted February 8, 2013 Perhaps the single most impressive speech I have listened to in quite some time - and look how pained Barack Obama's expression becomes.

nickydog Posted February 8, 2013 Share Posted February 8, 2013 That was great! I'm glad he was African American. Somehow that makes a difference. Dr. Carson knew exactly who he was talking to and he didn't mince words. Thanks, @Rheo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

righteousmomma Posted February 8, 2013 Share Posted February 8, 2013 "The Rogue Jew" got that right. However Valin, your quote from Mark might be edited to add verse 26: "And He said to them, "Do you not yet understand?" and they (he) replied : " huh??" 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pollyannaish Posted February 9, 2013 Share Posted February 9, 2013 Fantastic. As I mentioned in my post in the coffee shop, my kids are very familiar with Dr. Carson because they studied him in grade school. When I was listening to the speech both of them wandered through the room and said..."ooh! Love that guy" just from hearing his voice. Made me glad we've paid for a private education.

RidesAPaleHorse Posted February 9, 2013 Share Posted February 9, 2013 Oblowme sat there looking like a schoolboy that had just been chastized by his teacher and by a legitimately black teacher at that. I'm sure his fragile ego was totally shattered. I can only imagine what Mooch had to say to "the won" after that "breakfast" was over. Starting with "why wasn't there no tamales on the menu?" and most likely moving on to "Uncle Tom" and a few "house ni**ers" thrown in for good measure. Watch your back Dr. Carson.

Draggingtree Posted February 9, 2013 Share Posted February 9, 2013 Posted on February 9, 2013 by Scott Johnson Political correctness The gospel according to Ben Carson Introduced by Senator Jeff Sessions, Dr. Benjamin Carson spoke on Thursday this week at the National Prayer Breakfast to an audience that included President and Mrs. Obama up on the dais. Dr. Carson is a pediatric neurosurgeon who has lived a life of incredible accomplishment defying seemingly impossible odds. Watching the video, however, I couldn’t help but wonder if Dr. Carson doesn’t have a greater contribution to make outside the field of medicine. The Wall Street Journal, for one, declares rather forcefully that he does. Watching the video, I also couldn’t help but wonder what Obama was thinking. My guess is he was thinking: this is a dangerous guy. At a key point in Dr. Carson’s speech, Obama appears to check his Blackberry — just so you might not think he was overly impressed. Speaking truth to glower! (Here are seven more reasons to be impressed.) Elizabeth Scalia usefully summarizes Dr. Carson’s remarks as follow: After quoting [P]roverbs, he says some bold things, dares to criticize Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valin Posted February 10, 2013 Share Posted February 10, 2013 WSJ: “Ben Carson for President!” Daniel Doherty 2/10/13 That’s almost the exact headline of a recent Wall Street Journal editorial that went viral last Friday and Saturday (although I must confess that I did add an exclamation point for emphasis). Anyway, for those unfamiliar with Dr. Benjamin Carson, he’s the Director of Pediatric Neurosurgery at the Johns Hopkins University Hospital and the same guy who delivered those politically incorrect remarks at the White House prayer breakfast last week. And there are two passages, at least according to the journal, that deserve your undivided attention. (Snip) Dr. Carson also had a few pointed things to say about our unsustainable debt and deficits. But what really makes his speech so remarkable is that President Obama was not only in attendance … he was sitting just a few feet away! Carson didn’t care. And that, as Bubba would say, takes some brass. For what it’s worth, here’s the last paragraph of the Journal editorial: The Johns Hopkins neurosurgeon may not be politically correct, but he's closer to correct than we've heard in years.

SrWoodchuck Posted February 10, 2013 Share Posted February 10, 2013 Notice that Moose stopped clapping & Oblunder began texting with his Blackberry. Wonder what he texted? Something about never sitting at a prayer breakfast again? God is gonna get ya, Baracky-boy. Sweet E made me watch & it was wonderful to see, hear & know that we have citizens of intellect & faith prepared to speak truth-to-power! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nickydog Posted February 10, 2013 Share Posted February 10, 2013 I bet he was texting "Who booked this guy to speak at this event?!" Actually, I would like to know, too. Heh. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rheo Posted February 10, 2013 Author Share Posted February 10, 2013 Dr. Ben Carson was the keynote speaker, selected by a committee composed of members of the House and Senate. The event was co-chaired by Senators Jeff Sessions (R-Ala.) and Mark Pryor (D-Ark.). Dr. Carson is only the 2nd person in history to be invited to speak at National Prayer Breakfast twice.

Valin Posted February 11, 2013 Share Posted February 11, 2013 Who’s the Racist? Sam Tanenhaus, Meet Dr. Benjamin Carson Roger L Simon 2/11/13 I have to be honest. I only got a few hundred words into Sam Tanenhaus’ New Republic cover story “Original Sin: Why the GOP is and will continue to be the party of white people” before I clicked off. Besides being your normal impatient ADD-infused ‘net surfer, I found what I read of Tanenhaus to be stultifyingly banal and predictable. (Snip) But it’s deeper than that. I think Tanenhaus is full of it and reactionary. A lot of what he writes is based on projection, a kind of “wish” that the Republican Party would be racist or a white people’s party when it is the other way around. (Snip) As I imagine Tananenhaus realizes, others of us think it is the Democratic Party that is the party of racism, dependent as it is on the need for America to be perceived as a racist society in order for it to succeed. Allow me to roll back a few years to explain how dangerous this is. When I first began blogging back in 2004, before the days of PJ Media, a man named Michael Berman approached me via email, wanting to meet. I didn’t know who he was, but when we had lunch I learned he was the brother of longtime Democratic Congressman Howard Berman and a political pro, adviser to John Tunney and Henry Waxman, among many others. I gathered he was something of a political wizard, the inventor of certain forms of targeted mailing. Michael B. was interested in me because I had made a political change, left to right. “You did it because of 9/11,” he said. It was more complicated than that, but I nodded. “I was years ahead of you,” he continued. I looked at the man. The brother of the very liberal Howard Berman had made a political change years before me? “Why” I asked. “Because of what the Democratic Party did to black people,” he replied. (Snip) ____________________________________________________ For The Record I see what the Democratic party has done to black people, every time I look out my window.
