A Perfect Contrast
American Thinker, by William Sullivan

Original Article

Posted By:DW626, 2/10/2013 6:16:04 AM

Contrast can bring clarity. And I do not think that the two warring political ideologies in America have never been personified, juxtaposed, and as clearly defined as the contrast we witnessed at this week´s National Prayer Breakfast. Dr. Benjamin Carson, the famed director of pediatric neurosurgery at Johns Hopkins University, was given the unique opportunity to share his beliefs before a distinguished audience, including President Barack Obama. He did not waste the opportunity, and courageously expressed his beliefs with conviction, contrary though they are to those of the president.

Fabulous. But where is this story in the MSM? The progressives, Marxists, & Democrats will blow this off. "People" are to stupid to control their lives. And if they aren´t, it is unfair to give the advantage to smart people. Any way he can´t get elected because the Dem´s have perfected how to steal elections. No matter what, he will lose 49%to51 %.

"When the enemy comes in like a flood, then
God will raise a standard", Dr. Carson is indeed part of the standard raising the flag for righteousness. How can we give up hope when we have wonderful people like this on our side. Wow! I will get his book, I had never heard of him until now.

This article must be a Must Read simply because it is the beginning of an important transformation.

Even the dullest and lowest informed person can see or feel that something is horribly wrong in our beloved country. Mr. Duke has hit the nail on the head with the word contrast.

Good teachers use that method to get an important point across. Dr. Carson did it so supremely well that I have to pinch myself that such courage exists in these days of Obama, and, most importantly, to King Obama´s face!

The last few sentences of the article must be stated over and over again.

...Dr. Ben Carson owns a legacy as an innovative pioneer of his field and philanthropist whose life and work have personally touched, and even saved, countless others. Barack Obama, on the other hand, despite all his celebrity, owns a legacy that amounts to little more than stirring fear and outrage on the premise that others are not doing enough to help people.

Which ideology has produced the more effective, positive outcome?

Excellent article. Truly inspiring and a wonderful man. I submit most of what he said, LoFos notwithstanding, was not unknown to the 47% parasites who voted last November. The Left has invested two generations of (mal)education and acculturation to create the base they are now harvesting by making themselves the only ticket to a free meal. Zippy is a mere token of this poison swamp.
2008 and 2012 have shown that politics as usual is not the answer - anymore than petitioning George III was back then.

Let the Left´s character assassination begin. It won´t be long before Dr. Carson is painted as a womanizing, profligate, devil-worshiping pedophile who (gasp) has money in the Caymans.

He´ll be hard to bring down, though.

Pondering the Dr. Carson mega-phenom, it´s clear that our prayers for God to send us a real leader can be answered with Dr. Carson´s service to America. As one journalist put it, "Ben Carson for President".

Fear not little lambs. God´s timing is perfect.

Watching Dr.Carson´s speech gave me inspiration and hope that I have not felt since Obama was elected. His thoughts were simply said yet powerfully effective.

May God bless and keep you in his care and protection Dr. Carson

Oh, this is so frustrating.

Certainly there are issues to be tackled with our current health INSURANCE programs. But there was no massive public outcry -NONE- for it to be changed so drastically, so suddenly.

This Obamascare nightmare is about, and ONLY about, control of US through our health records (and quite possibly, our voter registration records).

Don´t think it´s anything more, or less, than that. They want to control our medical care through our finances, and they´ll control our finances completely, soon enough.

Cheers to Dr. Carson for saying these things in a very noticeable forum, and thanks to everyone else for noticing. He is exactly right in that context ... if that was all this scheme was about.

It was difficult not to observe the two, nearly side-by-side, and weep for what should be, and more so for what is.

Dr. Ben Carson is a breath of clean, fresh air. Clearly Obama was clueless as to what Dr. Ben might say and appeared to be a bit uncomfortable about what he heard. It was like pealing the stenchful layers off a rotten onion and exposing the clean, fragile layers in the center. "An Eagle needs a left wing and a right wing to fly."

It was a great speech - I rolled it back & listened to it twice. Two thing really stood out. He spoke in a simple, straight-forward manner. Anybody listening could understand the points he was making. Also, I loved the part about his mother making him read & write book reports. More parents should do this! Reading is so important & it doesn´t have to cost a thing - I´ve always said there is no excuse to be uninformed when there are libraries full of books in every city.

Wonderful, factual, and inspiring speech by Dr. Carson and wonderful article by Mr. Sullivan. People are discussing Dr. Carson´s speech and that fact alone makes me feel better about things today than I have in a very long time.

President Obama´s lack of offering courteous applause, his steely expression, and his attention paid to his IPod or Blackberry or whatever he was using in an attempt to avoid the good doctor´s words, spoke volumes about the character (or serious lack of) of the man. As much as he tried not to show it, the truth of Dr. Carson´s words burrowed deep into the President´s psyche and created havoc there.

The bamboozler won because most whites who voted for him had the ever present "white guilt" on their shoulders. My husband -- a Roosevelt democrat -- voted for the bamboozler because he felt he "should because he was black"....nonsense....

My husband started his own company -- ran it beautifully -- made money the ole American way -- BUT -- he knew BO had screwed up the economy -- BUT -- he figured the next president could fix the BO´s mess.

oooo! good observation, #23!

Dr. Carson is a wonderful man. And he had a wonderful, wonderful Mom.

This is another interesting contrast between BO and Dr. Carson: their upbringing. Both had absentee fathers. But ponder the impact a mother (parent) can have and what a great consequence possibly for the world!

BO´s mother hated America, seems to have been driven and energized by spite, envy, hatred.

Mrs. Carson, she was a woman of faith who wanted the best for her sons and drove them hard to READ and study and work hard. No bitterness. No inculcation of envy or corrosive attitudes.

The contrasts and comparisons are multitudinous. This is why the msm(leftwing propaganda machine) can not risk fuller exposure.

Dr. Carson has been in the public eye at least since 2004 with President Bush. Amazing, though, we have a world-renowned pediatric neurosurgeon (who happens to be black), and the broader public has been kept in the dark. pathetic.

God bless Dr. Carson and his family.

The differences in health care philosophy are not about solutions - everyone knows Carson is right. It´s about power - Obama and the D party want more bureaucracies and employees who staff them to get more unionized employees (heads) and dues for funding their campaigns. It is clear and simple. It´s about the democrat politicians and the union bosses. Everyone else is a pawn to be bought off at election time.

Back in the early 1990´s, Dr. Carson´s book, Gifted Hands, was required reading for all three of our kids (we required it!) and each had to write a book report on it. It was so inspiring, encouraging and I believe should be required reading in schools.

If you watch the video closely you can see the expression on Zero´s face change remarkably, from mild interest, to boredom, to aggravation and finally to seething anger. Once he did the chin in the air with the LOOK on his face with about 12 minutes or so to go in the Dr.´s speech, you knew the Dr. had him and had him good. Remarkable to watch, but not surprising. Actually a 1/2 hour interior view of Zero´s personality if you watch him and listen to the Dr. at the same time. Every American should watch it in this way, for those that haven´t seen it (we´ve seen it dozens of times) it can only be a real eye opener to everyone except the most extreme Kool-Aid drinkers.

In a perfect world, Dr. Ben Carson would be President of the United States and Barack Obama would still be street-agitating in Chicago.

Note also that the young Marine who confronted Dianne Feinstein with his letter, "No Ma´am" (I love that form of address) also said, in his interview on CNN, "Unconstitutional ´laws´ aren´t laws." His name? Joshua Boston.

Should we soon expect from Dr. Carson his new book: "Dreams From My Mother"? [What an amazing contrast between his and Obama´s moms!]

And speaking of contrast, it is worth noting that both the left and right halves of these (dis)United States are currently celebrating a black man. We, of course, have Dr. Carson; they have Christopher Dorner.

J-O-B-S, jobs." Actually, of course, it´s a four-letter word, and it was his job and the president´s to create a climate for job expansion, and they failed.

When your article inspires a big-city mayor to refer your case to a "human-relations commission," you know you´ve hit a nerve. And when that article is the recent "Being White in Philly" piece by liberal Robert Huber, you know it doesn´t take much truth to hit that nerve. That´s the scary part. Huber´s article contains mostly tepid examples of whites´ negative experiences with blacks and primarily black neighborhoods, such as a Philadelphia resident whose grill was stolen from her backyard but "blames herself" for not fencing it in. Its tone is basically apologetic, absolving a drug dealer of responsibility

That´s something to remember when you arrive there next week. Israel has a government, elected by its people in a free, fair, open and democratic election. Multiple parties representing widely divergent points of view met a wildly diverse electorate through free media and open debate. This is no stultified two-party affair with a libertarian insurgency. Israel will be the only country you visit in the region, this time or any other, that has a fully democratic system. Do not be swayed by the "apartheid" slander.

Prodded by a president with a weakness for racial agitation and enabled by a politically complicit media, the State of Florida persists in a prosecution that can come to no good end. The defendant is neighborhood watch captain George Zimmerman. The charge is the second-degree murder. The potential outcomes range from major injustice, if Zimmerman is convicted, to mayhem in the streets, if he´s acquitted. And the state plods on as though the angels were on its side. They are not. The witnesses to the February 2012 shooting of 17 year-old Trayvon Martin are proving even more troublesome

The political world changed its orbit Wednesday as Rand Paul seized the spotlight in his March 6 filibuster. Rand Paul -- not this author´s favorite before -- is probably now the 2016 front-runner for president. But the difference results from fundamental changes in substance. How can one day be that big of a deal? Because Rand Paul demonstrated a reproducible, winning formula. It was as if Ronald Reagan were granted just one day to come back to Earth to remind the Party of Lincoln of "how it´s done." Rand demonstrated a repeatable formula that all Republicans can copy.

Sixty-three months ago Barack Obama officially declared his candidacy for President. Only now are some among the so-called media and ruling elites in America slowly awakening from their self-induced infatuation and beginning to understand who he is. It has become difficult to ignore the overt intimidation, demagoguery and deliberate falsehoods spewed forth by Obama relative to sequestration -- a miniscule cut in the growth of federal spending. However, any cursory examination of his past reveals that these tactics are second nature to the man who currently occupies the Oval Office.

Years ago, when I used to play poker with some guys, I played a hand in which across the table from me was someone who looked as though he had a straight flush. He kept pumping up the bidding and everyone folded but me. When we finally showed our hands he had nothing. "You don´t know what you´re doing," he yelled. "Any good player would have folded! Why did you stay in?" he shouted angrily. "Because you curled your lip and reacted furiously when I stayed in. Someone with a winning hand would never do that."

By law, on Friday the executive must begin to cut $85 billion from federal spending. Though, as is his wont, the president is blaming the Republicans for what he claims is a draconian measure. No less a Washington chronicler of events than Bob Woodward of the Washington Post considers that a gross distortion of the truth [T]he automatic spending cuts were initiated by the White House and were the brainchild of [Treasury Secretary nominee Jack] Lew and White House congressional relations chief Rob Nabors -- probably the foremost experts on budget issues in the senior ranks of the federal government.

How the Left Dupes

Too little serious conservative analysis of the 2012 presidential campaign has yet appeared. This is understandable. The results of the election were disheartening to the point of shock. The campaign defied all historical precedent, all commonsense interpretation. The Romney ticket should not have lost and did not deserve to lose. The Democrats, fielding the least worthy ticket in the past century -- and that´s saying something -- did not deserve to win. The reasons they did are myriad and complex. But before we get too far down the road, there is one lesson that has to be grasped:

No, I´m not talking about Jackie, Tito, Jermaine, Marlon, and Michael (God rest Michael´s tortured soul).

Jesse Sr. (The Right Reverend) and his son (the erstwhile congressman) have done a lot more taking than giving. "Taking" may be too charitable a word. Shaking down and wheedling may be better descriptors for the Chicago Jacksons´ acts.

By now you likely have heard that Chris Rock considers Barack Obama America´s father. If that is true, then would somebody call Child Protective Services and find us foster parents! For Chris Rock, America´s true Founding Fathers were disappointingly white. I suspect that whatever the color of America´s Founding Fathers might have been, they would not have approved of having a failure like Obama among their esteemed membership. Thought the Founding Fathers had many flaws, they were smart enough to eliminate the self-indulgent institution of slavery from America´s future.

Michelle Obama has admitted that she is already tired of the bangs she first sported in January. The First Lady said in an interview with Entertainment Tonight: ´Bangs are a day-by-day proposition. They´re starting to grow out, get a little irritating.´ Still, she hasn´t let her hairdo woes get her down. ´It´s okay,´ she said after her initial complaint. ´We´ll be good.´ The first indication that her hairstyle was becoming a burden came about last weekend, when Malia, 14, was spotted adjusting her mother´s hair during the White House Easter Egg Roll.

President Obama´s biggest gaffe yesterday when speaking of California Attorney General Kamala Harris was not in flirtatiously complimenting her as "the best-looking attorney general," but in introducing an observation from the system of beauty into a forum that was about the system of power.What´s that, you say? Irin Carmon does a great job in Salon in laying out the bounds of propriety for when it´s appropriate to talk about a woman´s looks as a general matter. But I´ve long felt we lack a solid theoretical underpinning for easily discussing these issues, and why precisely it is that

Sen. John McCain says he doesn´t understand the threats from some of his Republican colleagues to filibuster a bill on background checks to buy guns. "I don´t understand it," the Arizona Republican said on Sunday of the threat coming from Sen. Rand Paul,Sen. Ted Cruz, Sen. Mike Lee and nine other Republicans. "The purpose of the United States Senate is to debate and to vote and to let the people know where we stand.” "What are we afraid of? ... If this issue is as important as we all think it is, why not take ... it up and debate?"

No one is more preoccupied these days with Hillary Clinton´s 2016 plans than the Beltway political class—not even the former presidential candidate herself. To hear some tell it, her decision will be dispositive for all other Democrats thinking of entering the race. And pundits and reporters aren´t the only ones positing the "The Hillary Factor": No less than the House Democratic whip, Steny Hoyer, told BuzzFeed, “I don´t know that anybody would run against Hillary…. If she runs, she clears the field.” It´s an understandable conclusion, given Clinton´s stature in the Democratic Party and her 70 percent

Neurosurgeon Ben Carson, considered by some to be a potential Republican contender for president, apologized to Johns Hopkins University for the "poorly chosen words" he used in expressing his opposition to gay marriage last month.“I am sorry for any embarrassment this has caused,” Carson said in the letter, reported in New York Magazine.(Snip) "Although I do believe marriage is between a man and a woman, there are much less offensive ways to make that point. I hope all will look at a lifetime of service over some poorly chosen words.” Carson will remain as commencement speaker at Johns Hopkins,

On Friday, Sean Hannity brought Pat Smith, mother of the late Sean Smith, on his radio program. The 34-year-old information management officer was one of four Americans murdered in the Benghazi embassy attack on September 11, 2012. In the chilling interview, a distraught Ms. Smith, in tears, pleaded for answers and spoke of the efforts to silence her. Ms. Smith first relayed how her son, prior to the attack, requested additional security in advance and warned the State Department: He did tell them, ahead of time, he typed it into his little typewriter over there,

Put out an all-points bulletin: Millions of Americans have gone missing from the workforce. Every month that those would-be workers are gone raises the odds that they might never come back, dimming the prospects for future economic growth. The vanishing trend is more than a decade old, but it accelerated during the Great Recession. Throughout 2012, economists held out hope that it had stopped. But then came Friday’s jobs report, and hopes were dashed. The Labor Department reported that the U.S. labor force — everyone who has a job or is looking for one — shrank

The Obama White House is scrambling to blame Friday’s abysmal March jobs numbers on the sequester’s trimming of the rate of growth in federal budgets that have yet to fully commence. After the Labor Department announced that a mass exodus of 663,000 workers left the U.S. workforce last month and that job creation fell 112,000 jobs short of projections, Obama’s top economic adviser Alan B. Krueger, took to the White House blog to blame the sequester: It is important to bear in mind that the March household and payroll surveys are the first monthly surveys to look

Susan Patton, the Princeton alumna who became famous for her letter urging Ivy League women to use their college years to find a mate, has been denounced as a traitor to feminism, to coeducation, to the university ideal. But really she’s something much more interesting: a traitor to her class. Her betrayal consists of being gauche enough to acknowledge publicly a truth that everyone who’s come up through Ivy League culture knows intuitively —

Beyonce and Jay-Z celebrated their fifth wedding anniversary in Cuba this week. The couple, who married on April 4, 2008, took in the sights of Old Havana, visited a school, dined on a rooftop terrace and strolled the fan-filled streets in their island best.(snip).The power couple declined to answer journalists´ questions about their visit to the island nation, but some outlets are reporting that the moguls are there as tourists, though that would be illegal because of the half-century embargo the U.S. has on the Communist country. However, the Miami Herald said Washington has issued special licenses for

The budget President Barack Obama will submit on April 10 will contain a proposal that would prohibit individuals from accumulating more than $3 million in Individual Retirement Accounts (IRAs) and tax-preferred retirement accounts. According to a White House statement, the Obama administration believes the current rules allow some wealthy individuals "to accumulate many millions of dollars in these accounts, substantially more than is needed to fund reasonable levels of retirement saving." "The budget would limit an individual’s total balance across tax-preferred accounts to an amount sufficient to finance an annuity of not more than $205,000 per
