Ben Carson is not perfect but he is a good, God fearing man and we need someone who will speak up and make the uncomfortable but right decisions for the betterment of our nation!
Dr. Carson would make a much better president than the guy that has been occupying the office. Mr. Carson would help America get back on its feet again and bring conservative values to society again. What a great lineup we have.
Dr. Carson is a pleasure to listen to. His message is inspiring. He gives real solutions to today's problems. A good man and a true gentleman. He would make a fantastic president.
patriotsrus Dr. mandatory vaccines Carson? No thanks, I wonder what else he would have the need to mandate? I want smaller government, Carson's not it.
sirscrotum What rate is he proposing? Based on most of the proposed rates by previous candidates, I doubt his rate would increase mine or most American's taxes. In fact, I see the majority of working class middle America making out in a flat tax environment...but I guess that really isn't YOUR real concern.
This is what American needs if you got $30 million in the bank. This is NOT what American needs if you don't. He's jacking up the tax rates on the poor, and drastically lowering them on his fellow rich people. I know a Plutocrat when I see one.
Sonnie Williams I don't make much money. Furthermore I'm not going to vote in a tax increase on myself if he's passing a tax cut on people who make a nuerosurgeons salaries. Seems double-standardish.
I don't expect you to vote for a tax increaese. I just didn't realize people out there actually paid less that 10% in taxes. That being said, you have the right to vote as you see best and do what is needed to support yourself and your family. I respect that.
SOOOOO Happy he is running!!! I have been hoping and praying he would! I truly do believe that Ben Carson is America's last hope for turning around and again being the strong, moral nation we were in the past, and again gaining the respect of the world.
rkyobo HIS FLAT TAX 10% PLAN IS GOING TO RAISE A LOT OF AMERICANS TAXES. HE'S A TAX AND SPEND LIBERAL AND I ALWAYS KEEP TAX AND SPEND LIBERALS OUT OF OFFICE WHEN I GO TO THE BALLOT BOX
Lauryanne39 No I don't take in any federal tax dollars. Right now I live with my parents and they pay me $500 a month and I make a little bit of capital gains. Under the Obama Economy my family has 7 figures in stock holdings so we're doing just fine. Really the biggest disincentive to me working is the crappy wages, why go out and work when I make plenty doing nothing? If bottom rung wages were say $15 an hour, then I'd be much more motivated to get a job, but right now the jobs I can apply for due to my criminal record, pay so little, a few hundred dollars a week for 40 hours of my time doesn't sound that appealing. Besides whats the point of working for a few measly dollars a day when mom can make $5-$10k in a day in the stock market. If anything other Americans are living off our tax dollars. Really if punishing success is your ultimate concern in the tax code then you should support a head tax, not a flat tax. "Consider the argument that says "flat taxes are better than progressive taxes because progressive taxes punish success." This argument objects to the fact that under progressive taxes, people have to pay more taxes just because they made more money. But that's true of flat taxes as well. Under a 10 percent flat tax, someone making $10,000 pays $1,000 in taxes and someone making $1,000,000 pays $100,000 in taxes. The richer person is paying $99,000 more taxes purely because he or she made more money. You know what doesn't punish success though? The head tax. If the head tax is $8,000, everyone pays $8,000, people making $1k and $1mil alike. The desire to avoid punishing success points us to the head tax, not the flat tax." Heres the problem with the flat tax. We have the highest income and wealth inequality in this country in about 85 years. FOr a flat tax to work, you would need a relatively even distribution of wealth and income in this country for it to begin to look even remotely fair. With wealth and income inequality at historic highs, right now the country should go to a much more progressive tax code rather than a flat tax. I don't count higher taxes on wealthy people as "punishing success" when they're the wealthiest they've been in close to a century. They've been so outstandingly successful in this last 30 years of moving away from the progressive tax code between 1945-1981, that we SHOULD be taxing them higher. Besides GWB Promised our country jobs when he cut their taxes, it was a corner stone of Reaganomics that when you cut the wealthy's taxes, they go out and produce high income and middle income jobs. Well the wealthy are now super wealthy in comparison to 1981. And they didn't uphold their end of the bargain which was to go out and create enormous amounts of high income and middle income jobs. So I think we should go back to our old tax code until they get their shit together and start promising Americans that if we give them a tax cut, most of it is going to wind up back in the hands of low income and middle class individuals. Take Papa JOhns, or better yet a job I once applied for, Working at Home Depot. These business owners are fabulously wealthy, the jobs they offer should have much higher wages. It was 10 years ago but I believe Home Depot then paid only $8 an hour. I imagine it hasn't changed much. If these tax cuts for the wealthy are going to work, then they need to invest their tax cuts into paying their workers higher wages to ensure that the money is actually "trickling down" from their tax break. Lowest wage jobs I ever worked were ones that were reliant on tips. Once I made at a restaurant, I shit you not, $2.13 an hour + tips. When I added my tips in it was marginally over minimum wage. I imagine things haven't changed much and workers wages didn't go up despite getting an income based off of tips.
Trump has put everything including his family on the line 2 save america.. Where was carson then.. If trump cant tun this around we WON'T HAVE A COUNTY... Whare the hell was carson?? Carson is smart & a good person but cant come close 2 Trump..! This would help Demondevils w a distrsction..waist of his time & $... He might want to watch trump rallies...
Anyone with a mind will love this man! Let's hope that we still have enough great minds with common sense! I love this country and I always will, but we need strong leaders! Dr. Carson can be that strong and great leader!!!
HuckFinn, I'm sick of the negative comments towards people who offer new ideas and possible solutions to heal this country. The negativity and name-calling posed by you and others never offer any alternative solutions, but rather contribute to the stagnation of this country's progress. Dr. Carson's speech is refreshing. I like this guy's ideas and think he has built a great team. HuckFinn, what are your ideas to make this country a better place to live and work? What have you done for us lately sir?
This is the man! He may not be proud, arrogant, loud flashy, but he is an intelligent genius and when he speaks his words are profound! This is the kind of wisdom we need in the White House a true American, who loves God, Country, and Family and will unite us. We have never been so divided. United We Stand, Divided We Fall. GET OUT AND VOTE FOR DR BEN CARSON!!!!! RESTORE AMERICA!! HEAL OUR NATION, DR!
I have been following him for years, and he is the 1st guy I have ever donated money too for a presidential election. We have to get him in front of people
I have enjoyed listening to this man talk for years. People have pressed him into politics when he has expressed no interest. I could listen to his views on life non stop for the rest of my life without ever getting tired of him. He deserves a shot and the American people deserve a guy like Carson to lead this country back into the powerhouse it is.
Great man. A neurosurgeon, psychologist, professor and a writer. Someone that helps people on a daily basis. But not pop enough for the US. Not enough ties to corporations and doesn't want to create a socialist state for the progressive marxists. Sadly, someone like him will never get elected.
+Zealote The biggest obstacle is Complacency. Urge everyone to get out and VOTE! It's an HONOR TO VOTE!! We take it for granted, with the lowest voter turnouts. PEOPLE OUR DEMOCRACY DEPENDS ON YOU, YOUR VOTE!!!! HE WILL WIN IF WE UNITE AND VOTE!!!
Wow, such a lovely video... I usually search all the videos of carson since 4 months... And I am so surprise it did not pop up so far till today... However I have come accross and watched this video from some controversial sources though Happy to have to watch this video. God bless Dr. Ben Carson
I am tired of the career politician, I am tired of politicians who will lie to their teeth to get the post, then forget about us. We need a president who will represent the American People, an honest man, who looks. more like any of us than Washington puppets. Now i think there is hope for us. I don't want a democrat or republican president, I want a president that represents the American people. I ll vote for common sense, I ll vote for Mr Carson.
People need to quit looking for a new politician and look at the Man , Dr Ben Carson is the best and he means what he's saying , he will not disappoint, watch his prayer breakfast speech , I would never vote obummer but I would vote for Ben Carson all day , they don't come no better ......🇺🇸
Awesome people and he has been a great inspiration to me. Benjamin Carson truly should have been the first black president. He is a true American. That anti american obama is the biggest disappointment of the 21st century. As a young(28yr) American man, I worry about the future of our nation. I'm concerned about not just today but the future of my family and kids. I One of the things that GREATLY attracts me to Ben.Carson is his honesty and his faith has ALOT to do with that oh and also THAT HE IS NOT A POLITICIAN. HUGE PLUS!!
ItsDPMikey G His flat tax plan is going to RAISE MY TAXES. I write off anyone who wants to RAISE MY TAXES as a TAX AND SPEND LIBERAL. Carson is a Tax and Spend Liberal in my opinion. I WILL NOT VOTE IN A TAX INCREASE ON MYSELF WHEN I DON'T MAKE THAT MUCH TO START WITH.
ItsDPMikey G Technically, if (hopefully when) elected, Ben Carson will be the first black president as Obama is the son of a white woman and African man!
sirscrotum The world does not revolve around bums like you; that want other people to pay for your comforts. If everyone was like you, there would be no tax base to pay your welfare!
American people must find responsibility in ensuring a good Presidency, and, that can only be done by putting in the office a person with dignity and courage to face lift the worsening economic and political scenario of America. America needs a president that cast his own shadow. It is time for America to change not as a country, not as a power but as a leader. America affects the world, and it is only fitting that they become that one great nation again. Carson is the man not only America needs, but a man the world needs.
What a great message and candidate!!! I'm so excited and grateful he is running.. Has my vote 100%... How can anyone not agree with his message.... Love it!!!! I have faith in our country again..
The man grew up in the ghetto and became a brain surgeon... THIS is the kind of drive we need in the White House. Not someone from a rich family that has had everything handed to them their entire life.
It's funny that I find myself following Dr. Carson more than any other presidential candidates. And I know that that explains why there's a lot of people are finding themselves doing the same. What can I say. He's inspirational and the right person to lead the country. :)
Gunsight416 paul will win. This guy is so good at "giving" and giving the united states to "others", cant you hear it from his speech?He will give America to the Russian, the British, the Mexican, Vietnam, India.....
he needs a david axelrod and he could do a lot. Nice family, not flashy, grandparents values (old school black Lincoln republican) shoot, I like this the more I think of it
May GOD continue to strengthen u ,give u wisdom & put a protective hedge around u Ben Carson. It will be nice to see a person to run for office that has the best interest of the United States on his mind and stead of his political career . GOD BLESS Ben Carson & the UNITED STATES
It's sad to think about but, it is the truth. Being African American myself, I will tell you that there is a lot of self hatred that lurks throughout the black community. Some examples include black women wearing weave, black men conking their hair back in the 60's in order to compliment white male hair styles and the constant use of the word "nigga" which can never have a positive connotation. From talks that I have had with African Americans many of them have looked down upon me for pursuing higher education. What's even sadder is that most of the people who have helped me career wise, have been white, not black. All of my mentors have been white, not back. Black females have asked me if I think dark skinned women are attractive if they choose to wear make up. The list goes on and on. Most African Americans look down upon Africa as a whole....only if they knew that the richest man that ever lived was a black man by the name of Mansa Musa.
Deezy24 I can only image how hard it would be to come out from under the decades of abuse at the hand of the white man. Blacks are justified in their righteous anger, but how long until they heal? White people need forgiveness from the black community. Black people need to forgive and heal. Everyone needs to look within and take personal accountability our own behavior. If we mistreat our fellow man, we need to own our issues and be held accountable. People can't excuse bad behavior, no matter our skin tone. What do you think of the Police Officer that jerked that 16 year old black female out of her chair at school and tossed her across the floor? She was using her phone in class and ignored the teachers verbal warming, so she called in the officer who man-handled her for refusing his authority. From your perspective, were they justified to fire him?
He's not gonna win, and he will not be political correct at all, but many people will hear uncomfortable truths that the other candidates won't even dare say. And furthermore he will bring some spiritual concepts badly needed in the American society at large.
Everyone who cares about the future of their children watch this! We must not allow entertainment to rob us of intellect and discernment. Our country needs a solid leader! Pray that wisdom will prevail for our country!
I have read several of your books and just love them, want to read them all. You are a good role model, a real inspiration. America needs you, even if you don't do well in the poles, it might force people to see that there is no excuse for ruining this nation with a grudge on your shoulder as we have seen since 2008. Perhaps if the leaders of the world should have to match your track record, they would have to go home and fix their lives and stop trying to destroy the Earth.
How could anyone dislike this man ? Ben Carson is my 1st choice without a doubt. He is simple ,very intelligent, and knows Right from Wrong. Just what this country needs. A Man of GOD. We need Christianity back in this country. Without GOD , It is impossible to run a country correctly.
A true and honest man. And I'm sure his wife and children are just the same. I do hope the people of America makes the right choice and votes for this great man. If voted as president, he will come down in history as a great president. I will pray ever night for this man and his family.
Much prayer is going forth for you and the strong leadership we need. I am behind you, I am praying for you and with you. and will share much on all my social sites sir. The word of GOD reads: Let every soul be subject unto the higher powers. For there is no power but of God: the powers that be are ordained of God. Praying our country comes back to GOD...and means In God We Trust! Thank you sir for being who you are.
Do people today even realize that the best party is COMMON SENSE? This man wants to solve tough problems, let him do it without parties holding us down.
They were too humble to summarize his wife Candy's accomplishments. To name a few, she is a former concert violinist, earned three majors at Yale, psychology, pre-med, and music. She holds an MBA degree, and she heads up the Carson Scholars Fund Program, which has had great success. I admire them both. And I agree that it is high time for more common sense and wisdom in Washington, DC!
I started to read Dr.Carson's books for the wonderful work he did with children. But, as I continued to read his thoughts and his influence from his mom I realized what was really going on. My grandfather was an immigrant from Ireland with only a 3rd grade education but he knew how to work hard and his wife cleaned toilets at the local college. There is no shame in working hard. My Dad finally got a home and worked night and day. He knew education was very important for a better life. I loved the fact that he gives credit to God and using the God given abilities (our brains) and so many possibilities of an education. I encourage my children to do your best with what God has given you. He has my vote! There is not shame in flipping hamburgers or cleaning toilets. God bless you and your family.
Mary Walker Yes. Carson did do a great deal for children in education. It seems he backs major education reform. This would be wonderful especially to help the graduation rate for Blacks.
I'm a democratic immigrant from India (lived here since I was 3) and I must say, it's either him or Sanders (apart from Sanders' socialist views). This man would do great with education, and bringing America hope and leadership.
+Rose of Sharon In a lot of circumstances peer pressure from the black community and black "heroes" (Jesse Jackson, Al Sharpton, etc.) has navigated black people towards liberalism in order to fund the lower class and regain economic structure where they think it has been unfairly built. We have obviously seen the failing effects of this through Obama Care and now the middle class can barely afford to live. So to answer your question, black people hate Ben because he stands for things they have been taught their whole lives to stand against.
Stephen Rochester oh wow. That explains a lot. Thanks for the response. Like another poster said though, Christians are being marginalized in our society today, and although he resonates with conservatives Christians, his principles and ethics are not shared by most liberals and since Christianity is being demonized, I doubt we'd have the numbers to get him elected. I believe Ben could bring radical change but I think it's too late. We're too far gone.
People, Dr. Carson is a great man, all Americans can look up too, and actually have respect for. Not the current crap we have in office. He is a uniter, and I pity anyone trying to bash this guy. Because you haven't looked into him enough to speak intelligently about him. America needs someone like him. That he can bring the good people forward, to actually get something good done for this country. We need to break the backs of the Washington cartel. This guy can do it. :) He has my vote no question about it.
i love his tone. i would hate to see him pissed. someone speaking that softly(and as smart as he is) must be carrying a big stick. personally i hope he has a real chance and people can get behind him. he seems really level-headed. good luck doc!
Soooo much respect for Ben. I read his book a few years back called "Gifted Hands". I suggest everyone in America reads it. It had helped me get closer to God, and try my hardest in life to become successful and not rely on the government for my needs. It's now up to us to vote him in and spread the word.
We need a good person as president,not a good politician!.. Its time to have a president that has common sense and cares about the people in america and around the world. I really hope he makes it. If not sadly things will never change.
k20eg123 I feel the same way. He's the only candidate I've seen that I think actually speaks with honesty, rather than with an intent to manipulate his audience.
I love the way he talks. It would be a miracle to have someone as good as Dr. Ben Carson as our President. It is a little scary to think of a person this good, this uncorrupted and worthy, to go to that cesspool in D.C. He must know how the liberal media will attack him and still he is running. May God bless and protect Dr. Carson and the United States.
Ben Carson represents a true African American Presidential candidate. His calm demeanor reinforces his intelligence. I am going to follow him on the polls and hope he makes the primaries. BTW I'm an Independent Caucasian voter.
I prayed about Ben Carson years ago that he would be our president one day. I feel very empty about all the other republican candidates. The arguing, name calling, and child-like behavior is a disgrace. For the record, I cannot understand the people who have told me that they think Ben Carson is too slow to speak and has no "get up and go" to be president. This man is a thinker....he is deliberate and thoughtful in his speech. Don't we need a man of God who thinks before he speaks? God bless you Ben Carson....Our Lord is using you and I for one, voted for you!
Ben Carson is not perfect but he is a good, God fearing man and we need someone who will speak up and make the uncomfortable but right decisions for the betterment of our nation!
Dr. Carson would make a much better president than the guy that has been occupying the office. Mr. Carson would help America get back on its feet again and bring conservative values to society again. What a great lineup we have.
I really hope he makes it. We all need this mab

Never mind.... Just realized your name is "sir scrotum"..... That kind of answers my question.

Karen Smith HES A TAX AND SPEND LIBERAL WHO WANTS TO RAISE A LOT OF AMERICANS TAXES UNDER HIS FLAT TAX
You have my vote Dr. Carson!
It will be my first time to vote and I will be voting for Ben Carson!
BEST YEAR YET, WE GET STAR WARS, JURASSIC WORLD AND NOW THIS!!!!!!!!!
AND ASSASSINS CREED VICTORY GETS ANNOUNCED ON MAY 12th HOLY CRAP
That made me a little nauseous.
I have never voted ( ever ). But I will for this man. The key word is man, not a politician.
He seems very humble..... I like that
It's unfortunate that many people will only get to watch clips of this video and not take the time to watch the whole thing.
I am tired of the career politician, I am tired of politicians who will lie to their teeth to get the post, then forget about us. We need a president who will represent the American People, an honest man, who looks. more like any of us than Washington puppets.
Now i think there is hope for us. I don't want a democrat or republican president, I want a president that represents the American people. I ll vote for common sense, I ll vote for Mr Carson.
Jk Martinez Penis
Jk Martinez I agree its not about republican or democrat. Ben's not a politican; he's a leader.
People need to quit looking for a new politician and look at the Man , Dr Ben Carson is the best and he means what he's saying , he will not disappoint, watch his prayer breakfast speech , I would never vote obummer but I would vote for Ben Carson all day , they don't come no better ......🇺🇸
Awesome people and he has been a great inspiration to me.
Benjamin Carson truly should have been the first black president.
He is a true American.
That anti american obama is the biggest disappointment of the 21st century.
As a young(28yr) American man, I worry about the future of our nation. I'm concerned about not just today but the future of my family and kids. I
One of the things that GREATLY attracts me to Ben.Carson is his honesty and his faith has ALOT to do with that oh and also THAT HE IS NOT A POLITICIAN. HUGE PLUS!!
ItsDPMikey G Thank you for knowing the truth !!
I'd say Bush Jr. was the biggest disappointment but I am happy someone that seems competent is running I like Carson.
ItsDPMikey G His flat tax plan is going to RAISE MY TAXES. I write off anyone who wants to RAISE MY TAXES as a TAX AND SPEND LIBERAL. Carson is a Tax and Spend Liberal in my opinion. I WILL NOT VOTE IN A TAX INCREASE ON MYSELF WHEN I DON'T MAKE THAT MUCH TO START WITH.
ItsDPMikey G Technically, if (hopefully when) elected, Ben Carson will be the first black president as Obama is the son of a white woman and African man!
sirscrotum The world does not revolve around bums like you; that want other people to pay for your comforts. If everyone was like you, there would be no tax base to pay your welfare!
American people must find responsibility in ensuring a good Presidency, and, that can only be done by putting in the office a person with dignity and courage to face lift the worsening economic and political scenario of America. America needs a president that cast his own shadow. It is time for America to change not as a country, not as a power but as a leader. America affects the world, and it is only fitting that they become that one great nation again. Carson is the man not only America needs, but a man the world needs.
Wow a Republican I actually support, never thought this day would come :')
THANK YOU FOR RUNNING! You have my vote!
How could anyone not vote for him??? Carson for PRESIDENT!
What a great message and candidate!!! I'm so excited and grateful he is running.. Has my vote 100%... How can anyone not agree with his message.... Love it!!!! I have faith in our country again..
The man grew up in the ghetto and became a brain surgeon... THIS is the kind of drive we need in the White House. Not someone from a rich family that has had everything handed to them their entire life.
It's funny that I find myself following Dr. Carson more than any other presidential candidates. And I know that that explains why there's a lot of people are finding themselves doing the same. What can I say. He's inspirational and the right person to lead the country. :)
I can honestly say, I don't like him as much as I do Rand Paul, but if Paul doesn't win I hope he does.
He'll yeah
Gunsight416 paul will win. This guy is so good at "giving" and giving the united states to "others", cant you hear it from his speech?He will give America to the Russian, the British, the Mexican, Vietnam, India.....
Gunsight416 That's actually scary. I hope we have good presidential primaries. Paul is our best candidate. Carson is as crazy as they come.
I could honestly hear this man talk all day. He speaks with such a soothing voice.
Hey Huck Finn, did you not hear a word he said. where do you find fault with his ideas?
Marianne Hall Huck Finn is a faceless, nameless coward just trying to create problems.. Don't waste your valuable time..
Good MD Ben Carson. Show that education, hardwork, God pays.
God bless you.
he needs a david axelrod and he could do a lot. Nice family, not flashy, grandparents values (old school black Lincoln republican)
shoot, I like this the more I think of it
May GOD continue to strengthen u ,give u wisdom & put a protective hedge around u Ben Carson. It will be nice to see a person to run for office that has the best interest of the United States on his mind and stead of his political career . GOD BLESS Ben Carson & the UNITED STATES
Well if it weren't for trump i'd be rallying behind ben carson.
America needs people like Ben ..the worlds needs him too. Go for Presidency Mr Carson.
One of my role models for sure!
+Deezy24 can you tell me why black Americans do not like Ben? Why does he get demonized by so many African Americans. The level of hatred astounds me.
It's sad to think about but, it is the truth. Being African American myself, I will tell you that there is a lot of self hatred that lurks throughout the black community. Some examples include black women wearing weave, black men conking their hair back in the 60's in order to compliment white male hair styles and the constant use of the word "nigga" which can never have a positive connotation.
From talks that I have had with African Americans many of them have looked down upon me for pursuing higher education. What's even sadder is that most of the people who have helped me career wise, have been white, not black. All of my mentors have been white, not back.
Black females have asked me if I think dark skinned women are attractive if they choose to wear make up. The list goes on and on. Most African Americans look down upon Africa as a whole....only if they knew that the richest man that ever lived was a black man by the name of Mansa Musa.
Deezy24 I can only image how hard it would be to come out from under the decades of abuse at the hand of the white man. Blacks are justified in their righteous anger, but how long until they heal?
White people need forgiveness from the black community. Black people need to forgive and heal.
Everyone needs to look within and take personal accountability our own behavior. If we mistreat our fellow man, we need to own our issues and be held accountable. People can't excuse bad behavior, no matter our skin tone.
What do you think of the Police Officer that jerked that 16 year old black female out of her chair at school and tossed her across the floor? She was using her phone in class and ignored the teachers verbal warming, so she called in the officer who man-handled her for refusing his authority.
From your perspective, were they justified to fire him?
God I hope he wins, the world needs a man like him. Change the system for the people from within.
He's not gonna win, and he will not be political correct at all, but many people will hear uncomfortable truths that the other candidates won't even dare say. And furthermore he will bring some spiritual concepts badly needed in the American society at large.
Don't speak with such certainty. Anything can happen.
Charlie Stubbs
Most Americans hate Christians. That's why I say he's not gonna win.
Yeah, I can agree with that
Edupier Really?. Where did you get that fact from?, Seems to me ,YOU hate Christians, so does your family and the people you hang out with.
Nawthet Tunwin
You're so wrong. I'm a SDA Christian to start with..
As a democrat the only 1 republican I have supported
if this country elects trump instead of carson then we are doomed
geromino97
He would help United our country and bring Americans together.
Everyone who cares about the future of their children watch this! We must not allow entertainment to rob us of intellect and discernment. Our country needs a solid leader! Pray that wisdom will prevail for our country!
I have read several of your books and just love them, want to read them all. You are a good role model, a real inspiration.
America needs you, even if you don't do well in the poles, it might force people to see that there is no excuse for ruining this nation with a grudge on your shoulder as we have seen since 2008.
Perhaps if the leaders of the world should have to match your track record, they would have to go home and fix their lives and stop trying to destroy the Earth.
How could anyone dislike this man ? Ben Carson is my 1st choice without a doubt. He is simple ,very intelligent, and knows Right from Wrong. Just what this country needs. A Man of GOD. We need Christianity back in this country. Without GOD , It is impossible to run a country correctly.
Watch out, this guy is smart and has what it takes to bring this nation together. I think he can win.
He has my vote. I really like and respect this man.
I wanted this man to run a long time ago! He surely has my vote and I'll promote him as much as possible.
I don't think I have ever felt this level of honesty in a person aspiring to political office in my life.
a fresh breath of air hope its not to late
Finally a real leader people can follow!!!
A true and honest man. And I'm sure his wife and children are just the same. I do hope the people of America makes the right choice and votes for this great man. If voted as president, he will come down in history as a great president. I will pray ever night for this man and his family.
please please Carson for president
I really love the fact that he's not a politician and that he wants the American people to think with their brains and read.
Much prayer is going forth for you and the strong leadership we need. I am behind you, I am praying for you and with you. and will share much on all my social sites sir. The word of GOD reads: Let every soul be subject unto the higher powers. For there is no power but of God: the powers that be are ordained of God. Praying our country comes back to GOD...and means In God We Trust! Thank you sir for being who you are.
This man is truly my inspiration.
Do people today even realize that the best party is COMMON SENSE? This man wants to solve tough problems, let him do it without parties holding us down.
They were too humble to summarize his wife Candy's accomplishments. To name a few, she is a former concert violinist, earned three majors at Yale, psychology, pre-med, and music. She holds an MBA degree, and she heads up the Carson Scholars Fund Program, which has had great success. I admire them both. And I agree that it is high time for more common sense and wisdom in Washington, DC!
I started to read Dr.Carson's books for the wonderful work he did with children. But, as I continued to read his thoughts and his influence from his mom I realized what was really going on. My grandfather was an immigrant from Ireland with only a 3rd grade education but he knew how to work hard and his wife cleaned toilets at the local college. There is no shame in working hard. My Dad finally got a home and worked night and day. He knew education was very important for a better life. I loved the fact that he gives credit to God and using the God given abilities (our brains) and so many possibilities of an education. I encourage my children to do your best with what God has given you. He has my vote! There is not shame in flipping hamburgers or cleaning toilets. God bless you and your family.
Mary Walker Yes. Carson did do a great deal for children in education. It seems he backs major education reform. This would be wonderful especially to help the graduation rate for Blacks.
I'm a democratic immigrant from India (lived here since I was 3) and I must say, it's either him or Sanders (apart from Sanders' socialist views). This man would do great with education, and bringing America hope and leadership.
Carson got my vote I think he's the only one running that is truly for the people and not just trying to get office
+Stephen Rochester Why does he get such hostility from the African American community. They hate him.
+Rose of Sharon In a lot of circumstances peer pressure from the black community and black "heroes" (Jesse Jackson, Al Sharpton, etc.) has navigated black people towards liberalism in order to fund the lower class and regain economic structure where they think it has been unfairly built. We have obviously seen the failing effects of this through Obama Care and now the middle class can barely afford to live. So to answer your question, black people hate Ben because he stands for things they have been taught their whole lives to stand against.
Stephen Rochester oh wow. That explains a lot. Thanks for the response. Like another poster said though, Christians are being marginalized in our society today, and although he resonates with conservatives Christians, his principles and ethics are not shared by most liberals and since Christianity is being demonized, I doubt we'd have the numbers to get him elected. I believe Ben could bring radical change but I think it's too late. We're too far gone.
He has my vote for sure.
Carson, Rubio, Cruz, Paul, these are the kind of people I can get behind.
Why isn't this man president?
Dr. Carson - You the Man!
People, Dr. Carson is a great man, all Americans can look up too, and actually have respect for. Not the current crap we have in office. He is a uniter, and I pity anyone trying to bash this guy. Because you haven't looked into him enough to speak intelligently about him. America needs someone like him. That he can bring the good people forward, to actually get something good done for this country. We need to break the backs of the Washington cartel. This guy can do it. :) He has my vote no question about it.
100 % right. Amazing speech. You are a true AMERICAN .
i love his tone. i would hate to see him pissed. someone speaking that softly(and as smart as he is) must be carrying a big stick. personally i hope he has a real chance and people can get behind him. he seems really level-headed. good luck doc!
Soooo much respect for Ben. I read his book a few years back called "Gifted Hands". I suggest everyone in America reads it. It had helped me get closer to God, and try my hardest in life to become successful and not rely on the government for my needs. It's now up to us to vote him in and spread the word.
Incredible Human Being.
This is the man that United States needs !
We need a good person as president,not a good politician!.. Its time to have a president that has common sense and cares about the people in america and around the world. I really hope he makes it. If not sadly things will never change.
k20eg123
I feel the same way. He's the only candidate I've seen that I think actually speaks with honesty, rather than with an intent to manipulate his audience.
Dr Carson I believe that both you and Governor Huckabee are what this country needs. May God bless you and God's will be done.
Love You Dr Ben Carson ... God Bless you
Wow! Finally someone who talks sense!!! I'm excited to hear more of what he has to say!!!!!!
Watch the movie 'Gifted Hands'. Listen to the man . He's REAL. God Bless America with Ben Carson. YESSS!!!
Just saw Dr. Ben Carson on Charlie Rose's show--8/3/15.
Trump & Carson in 2016 !!!!!
I love the way he talks. It would be a miracle to have someone as good as Dr. Ben Carson as our President. It is a little scary to think of a person this good, this uncorrupted and worthy, to go to that cesspool in D.C. He must know how the liberal media will attack him and still he is running. May God bless and protect Dr. Carson and the United States.
What? No teleprompter? This is the man for our times. Get me a bumper sticker!!!
The more I hear him the more I like him. His campaign needs to get the word out more.
A lot of people say that they are not participating in politics , but here is a fact: they both affect you directly or indirectly!
Ben Carson represents a true African American Presidential candidate. His calm demeanor reinforces his intelligence. I am going to follow him on the polls and hope he makes the primaries. BTW I'm an Independent Caucasian voter.
he took the words out of my mouth
I prayed about Ben Carson years ago that he would be our president one day. I feel very empty about all the other republican candidates. The arguing, name calling, and child-like behavior is a disgrace. For the record, I cannot understand the people who have told me that they think Ben Carson is too slow to speak and has no "get up and go" to be president. This man is a thinker....he is deliberate and thoughtful in his speech. Don't we need a man of God who thinks before he speaks? God bless you Ben Carson....Our Lord is using you and I for one, voted for you!
Go Ben! 2016 with Ben or Rand and the U.S. will once again become the shining city on the hill.
Finally we have someone that is saying the right things and is an inspiration to us Americans and we really need it now a days.
Ah, I just love this man!
