I enjoy Dr. Carson as a man, his Conservative views and faith. He's a very passionate, enthusiastic and charismatic speaker, but haven't we seen these exact same traits in candidate Barack Obama? Just like Barack, he comes to the table with No experience, but unlike Obama, he comes to us with no political experience what-so-ever, yet people are ready to make him President now, because our Economy is in the crapper, and after this video, I can't say I blame them:
However, is he willing to put his personal
views and desires aside, unlike what Obama has done, and work for we the
People? If he will do that, I can see getting behind Dr. Carson, if he can't
then I won't get behind another on-the-job experience, charismatic President,
because this man is against the Second Amendment, and if he's against one part
of the Constitution, what else will we find out later?
So, hopefully, you can see my dilemma in
fully endorsing Dr. Carson. Instead of finding the solution in helping the
mentally ill get better and fixing the problem in our broken mental health
system, he'd rather turn a blind eye to it, just like this Administration
turned a blind eye to the critical problems within the VA System, which didn't
fix that system it only killed more good men, just as turning a blind eye to
the mentally ill is doing. Dr. Carson, as does Obama, would rather just punish
the law abiding gun owner, instead of doing the hard work or fixing the
mentally ill.
Remember, we've heard this line before, and
when we don't remember our history, we are doomed to repeat it. Remember the charismatic, passionate and
emphatic 10-month-old Senator Obama, who made these same promises, before he
was elected "president"?
Remember when the
Government was thinking about making us register our guns? Dr. Carson was once
for the gun registration, but his only saving grace, in my book, was when he
warned us not to do so, and I agree with his reason, it is the very reason I
carry.
" he changed his mind and was against
gun registration because of the 'sinister internal forces' that could
surface in that scenario. He said he “used to think they needed to be
registered, but if you register them they just come and find you and take your
guns.”
“If we were only concerned about external forces, then we would be okay,” he said. “But there are some pretty sinister internal forces.”
“If we were only concerned about external forces, then we would be okay,” he said. “But there are some pretty sinister internal forces.”
I would feel better knowing that Dr. Carson
would put his personal feelings aside and would serve the people's wishes, not
his own. We've seen what it's like to live under an Emperor, who serves only
himself. One who tries to mold the Country into what he wants it to look like,
and do we really need to repeat history with a, although wildly successful,
retired neurosurgeon?
I had hoped the Dr. Carson would have returned to his native state of Michigan to run for the Senate seat opening with the retirement of Democrat Carl Levin. This would have given Dr. Carson the political experience he desperately needs, if he were to ever run for national office. Alas, he chose not to take this course of action. I can only hope that he will continue to be a powerful voice on the national scene for conservative principles. He may be able to create a PAC and then go on to financially support conservative candidates with the experience and judgment necessary to run for political office and serve effectively once elected.
ReplyDeleteIt would have been nice, had he run for Senate, but remember, Obama was in the Senate all of 10 months before we "promoted" him to "Emperor," and we see where that has gotten us. Now I'm watching our country go "ga-ga" over yet another enthusiastic motivational speaker - with no political experience - that's telling us exactly what we "want to hear", and my blood is beginning to run cold, and all I can hear myself screaming is, "Oh God, here we go again."
ReplyDeleteI've actually written him a letter, expressing my 2nd Amendment concern, regarding his limited "population gun rights" ideology and his neglect to deal with or publicly address our Mental Health issues, as he demonizes guns and in doing so legal gun owners - as Obama does - and will post it and his response, should he choose to respond, in an "update" blog.
What good is a flowing economy with no real freedom; the criminals will be happy and flourishing in it, they won't care, but we will have no way to defend ourselves in it.
