It's ironic that Dr. Carson will be marginalized, if not completely dismissed, by the one demographic that should be listening hard to him - African Americans.

Since Carson, to make a hypothetically point, placed himself in the White House during his speech, one can not avoid making the inevitable comparison between Him and Obama.

And, what a contrast it is. The angry, embittered, and clever street organizer who learned quickly how to play the system for personal advancement, and the enviable George W. Carver alternative image that stands irrevocably opposed to him.

One would deconstruct the foundation of American traditions and values, while the other would reverantly support, defend, and reinforce it.

All is not lost with the likes of Dr. Carson in our midst.

Where do I vote for him? I wanted Herman Cain. I want a chance to prove what Carson said, "why do you have to have a certain philosophy because of the color of their skin." Talk about a crises with the urban vote. : )

"Skin in the game" is the bullet point from CPAC.
My take is that Ayn Rand is "anti-religion" when it offers eternal life as the reward rather than rewards from hard work in the hear and now. I see organized religion suppressing productivity for the masses to ther benefit of the few at the top. Look at the wealth of the churches looting from the poor with the promise of eternal reward if you give up your worldy possessions. Dagny told Cheryl that charity is given to a person's stength, not weakness. Bottom line - its the negative suppresses effects of relgion to which Ayn Rands objects.
Ben Carson is a breath of fresh air and I hope he continues to hammer Obama. I'll be cheering in the background.

I like what he says, but I get nervous about the religion. we do not need a President who will focus on cultural/morality issues over economic ones. that is exactly how we have lost some of our freedoms over the last decade. while republicans were focused on God and abortion, ooops! President Bush gave you Patriot Act, No child left behind, Sarbanes Oxley, Medicare Reform and a huge debt. most republicans looked at that and paused and then started yelling about the morality of our culture again. stay vigilant.

I'll finishing forming my opinion just a soon as he let's his stance on gun control be known.
