re: looks like Carson is in

Dr Carson has written six best-selling books so many of his views are probably out there in print.

I am sure that we will be hearing about his political views now that he has all but announced he is running for Prez.

I think Dr Carson made many of this views at the 2013 National Prayer Breakfast. The little muzzie boy was not too amused to say the least.

I look forward to hearing his points. However I was questioning lsu saints fan's anointing Carson to saint level and calling him a great man. I am sure he hasn't read all of his books yet, or at least he hasn't shown me by telling us anything about Carson beyond what came out in MSM.

I won't hold him to every thought he expresses in his book, but if his family received subsidies growing up that would be a fact that would fly in the face of his current belief that subsidies hinder motivation.

I do want to see a bit beyond that. On a similar note I would like to see a number of relatively smart people who are used to the spotlight (pre-req for the position) interviewed to become a candidate. Mark Cuban would be a favorite of mine.

This is a link to Dr. Carson's newest book of which I have about 20 pages left. He is not part of the GOP and has been registered as independent for some time. He explains with clarity his views and why they formed during his lifetime in the book. The challenge is for any of you to pick it up and be inspired. He is compassionate with regards to peoples hardships but believes in a system that does not take away a man's drive.

I really like the guy. The Dems will show their true colors in their hate for this guy. You think Palin was treated bad...

Sorta like the way the republicans treat Obama? Poor Palin. That bitch got everything she deserved.

I'm pretty sure the republicans objections to Obama are policy related and related to his incompetence in his job.

Your opposition to Palin is that she is a woman who got a lot of publicity in the 08 campaign.

Palin is not close to being as stupid as Pelosi or a couple dozen other esteemed DEM congresswomen. And she is not nearly the bitch that Pelosi or Hillary are.

In fact, I cannot recall a single bitchy thing she has done. So please inform us of your basis for calling her a bitch.

I also wouldn't go this far either. Their training is pretty damn long though, I'll give you that.

I like that he's not really a lifelong politician.

I am afraid that the media will destroy him.

Glasses would have been obtained either way.

Or not obtained. The early part of the 20th century was pretty rough.

So if it wasn't for the government, cute little Carson wouldn't have had glasses?

---

Does logic escape everyone on this board??? That is not what I said. To believe that every kid in the early 20th century got glasses when they needed them would be a total denial. Now, would "cute little Carson" have gotten glasses without government assistance, who knows? One could reason that his mother could have gotten them by some other means. However, one could also say that in many cases government assistance since the middle of the 20th Century has provided glasses for some kids who may have not had them otherwise.

Then tell me, what are his political beliefs? Does he think that all of the country's problems are rooted in political correctness and that we are "godless"?

I can see from cover jacket that he has doubled down on his opposition to ObamaCare, saying that it "threatens our health, liberty, and financial future."

I would not do Dr Carson justice by trying to reproduce his ideas. Briefly, he recognizes the difficulty that people find themselves in as well as the overall health of our countries debt. It will take great thought and actions to get us out of this mess. He welcomes discussion and opposing views. There must be compromise on bother ends for us to come together.

Read the book. That is the challenge.

His solution to the health care crisis is for all citizens to have health savings accounts in which money could be put in yearly tax free. This money would be essentially a savings account for all monies not used. This would put the responsibility of medical care back to the individual. The money in the account could be passed down to family members if a person died. Therefore, the 90 yo who needs a pacemaker can decide as to whether or not spending 8,000 was worth it or if she would rather her children get the benefit. For those that are truly impoverished, the government would place the money in there for them. This takes out a 3rd party payer and gives the individual "chips" in the game.
