BEN CARSON ON ISSUES IN HIS OWN WORDS # 2

In pursuit of the truth - http://www.cinopsbegone.blogspot.com - Friday, Dec. 26, 2014

AMERICAN UNITY:

     "The word "racism" is tossed around so easily by those intent on creating division and victimhood instead of unity." Washington Times, July 24, 2013

 

BALANCING THE BUDGET:

     "I believe the logical approach would be to have each government agency and department trim its budget by 10 percent - with no exceptions. In each subsequent year, another 10 percent decrease would be required and would continue as long as necessary to bring the budget back into balance." America the Beautiful, page 109

 

BORDER SECURITY:

     " I do think it is necessary to secure the border. We need to have control over who is in our country, we need to know who they are, and what they're doing here." Newsmax, June 2014

 

CAPITALISM:

     "The concept of rewards for production lies at the foundation of capitalism and needs to understood. The anticipation of rewards for being unproductive and the fear of consequences for being unproductive are great human motivators for both young and old. Historically, when these motivators are removed, productivity declines. Nonproductive people frequently make excuses for their lack of production, and as long as they can utilize those excuses, they have no reason to change their ways. But motivate them and watch what happens." America the Beautiful, p. 74-75

 

CIVIL RIGHTS AND RACISM:

     "Although much overt racism has been eliminated in America, there are still too many people who make sweeping generalizations about whole groups of people based on a negative encounter with a person of a different race. In order to resolve this problem, we must first admit that it exists even in our own families or ourselves - and African-American are just as likely to harbor racist attitudes as white people." America the Beautiful, page 117

    " I found that it was the Republicans who were responsible for the abolition of slavery and for the passage of the Civil Rights Act. I also began to realize that it was not political biases that were largely responsible for the plight of African-Americans in our nation, but rather racist attitudes. After the many gains realized through the civil rights movement, the racist people from both parties adopted a paternalistic attitude toward African-Americans and enacted federal and state programs designed to take care of people who couldn't take care of themselves - people who were ignorant, stupid, or just plain lazy. In the process of being 'do-gooders' both Republicans and Democrats removed much of the drive and determination from innumerable African-Americans, who found it easier to accept government charity than continue on a path of hard work and self-reliance." America the Beautiful, page 157

  A MESSAGE FROM BEN CARSON, FRIDAY, DEC. 26, 2014

 

        If you live in a state that has partisan voter registration then please give Dr. Carson a Christmas present and  be sure to change your party affiliation to Republican if you are not registered that way now. Dr. Carson changed his party affiliation to Republican on November 4th and in order for you to participate in the series of meetings leading up to your state's GOP convention, you will need to register Republican.

         Speaking of Christmas gifts, help to propel Dr. Carson's candidacy forward in Iowa, New Hampshire, the Carolinas and your state. Due to federal law, you can donate an unlimited amount of money either individually or corporately to: National Draft Ben Carson for President Committee, P.O. Box 1376, Merrifield, VA 22116-1376, United States,

 

Thank you for helping save the Republic
