| Be still, my heart. Dr Benjamin Carson is freeing up time and energy to pursue his passions in politics and education, retiring from surgery at Johns Hopkins University Hospital. Could world-renowned, up-from-the mean-streets of Detroit inspirational figure be the Man on a White Horse who could rescue America from the fiscal and social death spiral the progressives have foisted upon us? [Snip] Dr. Carson has the potential to transform America. He is anchored in reality and common sense, and possesses an extraordinary ability to speak clearly and directly.

What is really ashamed is that might allow him time to enter politics. And he might get elected. Thus, a capable, logical, competent, honorable man would deny an insecure, devious, dishonorable liberal such as a Schumer wannabe of a glorious elected for life position. Such a shame.

Dr. Carson´s speech was well timed and yes, he was not afraid to call out what a lot of the major problems are for the U.S. of A. Dr. Carson, along with Gov. Palin and Senator Ted Cruz are a shining example of individuals who are not afraid to bring the Truth to the forefront of conversation.

I don´t understand how so many fail to see the Dems and the media as the despicable slugs they truly are. Our country is in a shambles because of them. It is time for someone with intelligence, reverence, and a love for America to begin to straighten out the destruction.
As for Dr. Carson, if he is the man, may God truly bless him, keep him, and lay a protective hand upon him. There is so much to be done and so little time.

#5 is essentially correct. Dr. Carson´s qualities:
Common sense? check.
Grounded in faith? check.
Recognizes Founding Father´s original intent? check
Poltical outsider? check
conservative black? check
Consequently, our own political illuminati will therefore destroy him if he dares enter the arena.

Poor Bob Beckel on Fox News.
He keeps whining about how shameful it was
for Ben Carson to give a "right wing political speech" at a Prayer Breakfast with the President in attendance.
As far as I was concerned, Carson was having
a conversation with God. I can´t imagine a more beautiful prayer for our Country at a Prayer Breakfast. I can understand why an Anti-Christ would be squirming when hearing Carson.

bully beckel can just shut up. He´s mad because conservative voice Dr. Ben Carson had access to the broadcast media. That opportunity does not exist for conservatives in the mainstream press which serves as an arm of the democrat party, engages in cover-ups on behalf of democrats, and when all else fails, they just make up malicious lies about GOP.

#21 I agree with you & I know that Dr. Carson is blessed by God because "if God doesn´t promote you - you are not promoted". I would hope that he would speak to young medical students & get into education with speaking engagements to schools with his wonderful background of our Founders & American history. I think this is necessary for any Republican candidate. I am very wary of people speeding from one candidate to another trying to save our Republic without first giving thought to what will be best which is a true conservative like Carson,DeMint,Palin,Rubio or Cruz. I loved Carson´s speech & would vote for him if he is our candidate. Please y´all no 3rd Party even if Carson decides to start this momentum.

As far as I am concerned. Mark Sanford’s win over Curtis Bostic in South Carolina’s First Congressional District GOP runoff represents an unanswered prayer. Sanford continues to combine his mastery of therapeutic psychobabble with an ill-fitting Christian overlay that should be a dead giveaway, as Sanford himself all but acknowledged last night. Sanford is, of course, on a journey of discovery — make that a very long journey, involving the false modesty of the royal we: “It’s been a very long journey.

Ben Carson, the noted pediatric neurosurgeon, has become the target of a petition by Johns Hopkins students who want him removed as the medical school’s commencement speaker this spring. Dr. Carson became a media sensation in January when he questioned Obamacare and progressive taxation in a speech to the National Prayer Breakfast as President Obama sat just a few feet away from him. With his new prominence, Carson has apparently also riled some liberals, including these Johns Hopkins students.

Of all the arguments public-school advocates have used to hoodwink generations of parents into condemning their own children to years of state-controlled subservience training, one of the most successful is that without public schools, children cannot be properly "socialized," and will therefore be ill-prepared for life in the "real world." [Snip] The basic premise of the argument for public schools as necessary tools of socialization is that learning to get along, or fit in, with children one´s own age is a vital life skill. Is it?

The mysterious disappearance of about 30 dogs in southern Idaho has baffled animal control officials and raised concerns among dog lovers after a German shepherd was found with its head crushed in a suspected ritual killing. The missing canines range widely in size, breed and age. "The dogs seem to vanish into thin air," said Debbie Blackwood, director of the animal shelter in Twin Falls, Idaho. Officials say some 30 dogs have gone missing in recent months in Twin Falls and nearby communities in an agricultural region in south-central Idaho known as the Magic Valley.

Not since 1984 and the landslide victory of Ronald Reagan have the Republicans had a more winnable election than the 2012 presidential election. Yet the Republican Establishment managed to lose to the worst and most vulnerable President in modern history, with historically poor approval ratings, unemployment averaging over 8.7% during his entire first term, a stagnant economy and someone who ran the smallest and most absurd of all possible re-election campaigns.

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.

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
