Dr. Ben Carson Fires Back at Critics: ‘Somebody Has to Be Courageous Enough to Stand Up to the Bullies’
Feb. 11, 2013

Dr. Benjamin Carson won over conservatives when he railed against many of the big government policies endorsed by President Barack Obama during the National Prayer Breakfast last week, at which the president was in attendance.

However, the newly discovered conservative hero is also getting his first taste of criticism from the left who say his speech was inappropriate and even offensive. On Monday, he appeared on Fox News’ “Your World” with Neil Cavuto to respond to his critics.

“What we need to do is we need to be able to discuss intelligent ways of solving the multitude of problems that threatens to destroy our nation. And there are a group of people who would like to silence everybody and have everybody go along to get along, but that’s not going to be very helpful for us in the long run,” Carson said.

“Somebody has to be courageous enough to stand up to the bullies,” he added.

***********************************

This guy is my new political hero. JiT should love his 'Flat Tax' argument. Since he is eloquent, studied, far more intelligent than most of us, yet 'conservative', he is going to be vilified by the Left, and the Right, but adored by those of us in the Middle (Those who have much more voting power than either extreme when we actually get off our asses and VOTE!).

Put this guy on a ballot and I will vote for him. If I lived in Chicago, I'd vote for him twice, even after I'm dead.

I'm listening to his speech at the National Prayer Breakfast now and I'm about half way through it. I like what I'm hearing. His point about a flat tax even applies to why I think a retail sales tax is the way to collect taxes.
