He's the guy who gave the speech at the prayer breakfast in front of Obama, basically ripping into Obama's policies.
It's Dr Ben Carson. Google some of his stuff. It appears this guy is a for-real conservative. He handed Obama his socialist ass at the National Prayer Breakfast.
His paying gig is brain surgeon for children at Johns Hopkins:
Benjamin Solomon "Ben" Carson, Sr. (born September 18, 1951) is a neurosurgeonand the Director of Pediatric Neurosurgery at Johns Hopkins Hospital. He was awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom, the highest civilian award in the United States, by President George W. Bush in 2008.
Would anyone like to debate who is smarter; Dr Carson or President Obama?
Dr Carson is! (I win)Quote:

By the way, I noticed I may be a Trading Post Troll and I'm not sure what that is.

One of the quotes from Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., that will always stick in my mind: "I have a dream that my four little children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin but by the content of their character."
People who rely on bias and stereotypes to coerce or obtain things they have not worked for or be given preferential treatment based on some characteristic which no one has any control over are counterproductive and I believe are harmful to the people who have worked for and earned their success in our society. I believe that the only real measure of a person is the content of their character. I believe all persons have value. What we say and do in our lives either serves to increase the value of our character or devalues our character.
What we say about others often says more about ourselves.
Speak truth because truth is the only thing that needs no defense.
Be safe.
