Pro-choice/gay marriage Barack Obama
angered some constituents when he dragged his
sleepy gum-chewing self to the 61
st Annual National
Prayer Breakfast. While there, Obama quoted Scripture, referenced Jesus’
“nail-scarred hands,” talked about America’s past racism, and predictably made a
few jabs at perceived critics. Barack Obama even pled for unity while fostering
disunity and suggested the nation exercise humility, while exhibiting none
himself.
The President was on the roster with politically incorrect Dr. Ben Carson who
gave Obama a respectable prayer breakfast
spanking.
Carson, a world-renowned pediatric neurosurgeon, was unafraid in Obama’s
presence. That’s probably because Dr. Carson has worked on brains just a tiny
bit smaller than Barack’s.
For those on the left there’s nothing worse than a black man refusing to play
the victim, insisting that his success was achieved through individual freedom
and personal responsibility. That’s why the President probably came real close
to losing a waffle while listening to Ben share how, against all odds and
without government assistance, he overcame poverty, racism, and a violent temper
to become a world-renowned neurosurgeon.
Benjamin Carson is a 61-year-old black man raised in Detroit by a single
mother who refused to let her sons fail. As a peeved Obama stoically glared at
him, Dr. Carson talked of
his mother Sonya’s demand that, although unable to read
herself, he and his brother Curtis, rather than watch television, read and write
book reports.
Once
nicknamed the
“dumbest kid in the world,” Ben described how books taught him about the
individual self-determination “people of great accomplishment” exercise. Those
lessons led to an epiphany for Carson: “At that point I didn’t hate poverty
anymore, because I knew it was only temporary: I could change that.”
Clearly, Dr. Carson’s idea of ‘change’ is radically different from that of
the president. Change for Ben Carson came with the revelation that
the
best one can be requires hard work and personal responsibility.
Carson dared to touch on America’s “moral decay and fiscal irresponsibility”
with Barack Obama, the main contributor to both problems, sitting just a few
feet away.
For mathematically-challenged Obama voters who find it hard to grasp the
enormity of the nation’s 16.5-trillion-dollar liability, Carson broke it down by
explaining that if one were to count “one number per second…it would take
“507,000 years … to count to one trillion.” The doctor even brought up tax-free
health savings accounts – now that takes a hearty dose of intestinal
fortitude!
Ben Carson was not shy about laying out a flat-tax proposal, either. He
suggested that if “You make 10 billion dollars, you put in a billion. You make
10 dollars, you put in one.” Then, he cleverly used the flat-tax argument as a
springboard to expose the president’s class warfare tactics when he pointed out
that “some people” (ahem) say, “That’s not fair! It doesn’t hurt the guy who
made 10 billion dollars.”
Dr. Carson then asked, “Where does it say you have to hurt that guy? He just
put a billion dollars into the pot!” The 2008
Presidential
Medal of Freedom winner should have just turned and spoken directly to the
presidential ‘winner’ sitting nearby, who was trying desperately to keep his
composure.
