Comments on: Not an oxymoron: Ben Carson, black conservative Republican https://thenewneo.com/2015/10/30/not-an-oxymoron-ben-carson-black-conservative-republican/ A blog about political change, among other things Sat, 31 Oct 2015 16:07:41 +0000 hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=7.0 By: East Bay Jay https://thenewneo.com/2015/10/30/not-an-oxymoron-ben-carson-black-conservative-republican/#comment-934059 Sat, 31 Oct 2015 16:07:41 +0000 http://neoneocon.com/?p=53862#comment-934059 I watched an episode of the Jeffersons the other day that I believe was called Uncle Tom. This television show (and this is a Norman Lear show – huge liberal, and the cast is almost all black) treats the issue with more intelligence than the entire media/liberal complex does today. Liberals have slid backwards, to knee jerk reactionaries, for no reason other than to keep blacks on the D reservation. It’s sad.

Since reading Norman Lear’s biography I’ve been revisiting his shows. That guy had stones (though he was mostly wrong about everything) and was far fairer than our political media today (consider the implications of that – a liberal comedy TV show producer from the 70s is fairer than the ‘unbiased’ media of today). To open season 2 of Maude he did a 2 part show on alcoholism. It wasn’t even dramedy, it was all but straight drama. And of course Rob Reiner looks the dummy plenty of times (though Archie is trashed more of course).

Your discription, of Dr Carson, applies to the majority of Republican candidates. In the past this has been a weak point, to be immorally attacked, and not responding in kind. Dr Carson is a Republican by choice, because he mostly agrees with their aims. No associations can be perfect.

Government is never efficient and seldom effective. Why on earth would you what him to possess such experience? He has spent a lifetime being both efficient and effective in the most delicate life or death situations.

Government is necessary, not necessarily good, and more government is almost always bad.

Intelligent. Respectful. Respectable. Thinks and speaks clearly.

Now, if only he had some experience running a government…

Also…if only there were a party in this country that represented conservative values so he wouldn’t have to be stuck being a Republican.

I’ve seen his yard sign in about half a dozen other yards as well. He might be more popular than anyone in the media realizes.

IMHO, we may learn who the “new” racists are.

It is wrong, it is no merely suspect, but evil. If Carson becomes a primary contest winner, their heads will explode with rage and he will be cast out as a Devil because he isn’t really black (unlike Bill Clinton).

But I do not see him as the eventual nominee. However, I would gladly vote for him 11/16. I will caucus for Fiorina or Cruz, I have a few months to decide.

DR. BEN CARSON (ON TAPE): Obamacare is really, I think, the worst thing that has happened in this nation since slavery. And it was never about health care, it was about control.
Recognize what I said, “in a way.” In a way, anything is slavery that robs you of your ability to control your own life. And when you take the most important thing that you have, which is your health care, and you put that in the hands of government bureaucrats, I think you have done the wrong thing. This is not what America is about. Do I believe in health care for everybody? Absolutely. But I think there are much better ways to get there, which leave the care in the hands of patients and of doctors.

I don’t care what church he belongs to, what his opinions of gays are, or if he joined the Republican Party last month. This man understands freedom, has lived it, and wants its benefits restored in this country.
