Dr. Benjamin Carson delivered a noteworthy National Prayer Breakfast keynote speech in President Barack Obama’s presence

•Carson attacked political correctness as a “dangerous” threat to free speech and encouraged Americans to boldly share their views

•The pediatric neurosurgeon also provided his theories about the national debt, deficits, taxation and health care, taking stances that were opposed to the president’s

•Obama watched intently as Carson spoke for more than 25 minutes.

One of the more unique speeches delivered at this morning’s National Prayer Breakfast came from Dr. Benjamin S. Carson, a world-renowned pediatric neurosurgeon at Johns Hopkins Hospital. Taking the stage before President Barack Obama’s faith-filled address, Carson spoke for more than 25 minutes, tackling issues ranging from education to personal responsibility. His keynote, while predicated upon the theme of Jesus Christ as his ultimate role model, also took a starkly political tone, advocating against some of the very policies the president has implemented.

At the beginning of his speech, Carson shared an intense disdain for political correctness. Without getting too specific on the issue front, he said that Americans should stop being afraid to speak up and defend their beliefs; he also encouraged people to respect the individuals they disagree with. Carson held little back, condemning political correctness as “a horrible thing” that is “dangerous,” as it hampers freedom of thought and expression.

“We’ve reached a point where people are actually afraid to talk about what they want to say, because somebody might be offended,” Carson said, noting the example of people refraining from saying “Merry Christmas.” “We’ve got to get over this sensitivity and it keeps people from saying what they really believe.”

Carson encouraged discussion about societal issues, also pointing out education as an essential conundrum the country needs to confront. He highlighted his own path from poverty to success, sharing very personal details about his parents and early family life and subsequently described the importance of helping students seeking to advance academically through his Carson Scholars Fund.

The speech took an interesting turn when the doctor cautioned that moral decay and fiscal irresponsibility can have dire consequences — even for powerful countries like America. Here, he became even more pointed and impassioned.

“I think particularly about ancient Rome. Very powerful — nobody could even challenge them militarily…they destroyed themselves from within,” Carson continued. “Moral decay. Fiscal irresponsibility.”

While he said America’s issues are dire, he was positive that the nation can fix its ways, as there are bright and innovative people who simply need to come together to address the problems at hand.

"And one of our big problems right now . . . our deficit is a big problem," he said, as Obama watched him intently. "Think about it — and our national debt — $16 and a half trillion dollars."

To illustrate just how massive the debt is, Carson told the audience that if they counted one number per second, it would take them 507,000 years to get to the sum total. The doctor said that the massive fiscal blunder is something that the nation must contend with. From there, he moved on to taxation, seemingly taking a stance in direct opposition to Obama’s.

"What about our taxation system — so complex there is no one that can possibly comply with every jot and tittle," he noted, going on to call for a simpler (i.e. flat tax) system. "When I pick up my Bible, you know what I see — I see the fairest individual in the universe — God — and he’s given us a system. It’s called tithe."

Carson progressed, seemingly comparing the tithe, at least in principal, to the flat tax system. Rather than continuing to tier taxes owed, he argued that everyone should pay the same proportion and that, through this fairer system, money sent by wealthier Americans for protection abroad should be brought back to America to help build infrastructure and create additional jobs.

The doctor also addressed medical care, advocating for health savings accounts and railing against the notion that Americans should be sending money into a large bureaucratic system.

Moral decay and fiscal irresponsibility is what led to the fall of the roman empire. America is already on the path of self destruction unless something changes.

Atheist evolutionists do not necessarily have to agree with him because his role model is Jesus Christ.

Here is what Wiki's got on Dr Ben Carson. He surely is a man who fears God.

HANNITY: Dr Carson Lecturing Obama

Carson talks about the overwhelming support he's received from that speech, from people who are crying out for someone to just speak good, ol' "common sense" to overcome our nation's problems.

Neurosurgeon Dr. Benjamin Carson: Politically Incorrect Speech was me diagnosing problems.

By Napp Nazworth , Christian Post Reporter
February 17, 2013|5:55 pm

Dr. Ben Carson said he has no intention to run for president, but he will "leave that up to God," in a Sunday interview on ABC's "This Week." Carson gained national attention for his Feb. 7 speech at the National Prayer Breakfast in which he condemned political correctness and called for a flat tax and a more decentralized health care system.

"Before I gave that talk I prayed and asked God to give me wisdom, what do say, what would resonate, what would be important," Carson said when asked about all the attention his speech has received.

"Ben Carson for President," the editors of The Wall Street Journal declared the day after the speech. Plus, the speech has almost two million hits on YouTube at the time of this publication.

The speech is notable for its context as much as its content. President Barack Obama was sitting just two seats to his right as he advocated policies directly in opposition to two of Obama's most well-known initiatives: a more centralized health care system and higher taxes on the wealthy.

"I don't think it was particularly political," Carson said, "... but to be able to express an opinion about something that is problematic. You know, I'm a physician. I like to diagnose things. I diagnosed some pretty significant issues that I think a lot of people resonate with."

Carson said that the Old Testament tithe, in which the tribe of religious leaders in ancient Israel was paid by the other tribes, each giving them 10 percent of their wealth, could be a model for the U.S. taxation system. It does not have to be 10 percent, Carson said, but everyone should pay the same proportion of their income. In his "This Week" interview, Carson said he prefers to call it a "proportional tax" rather than a "flat tax."

In a 2008 interview on PBS' "Religion & Ethics Newsweekly," Carson said he was an at-risk kid growing up in inner city Detroit and raised by a single mom. He was considered the classroom "dummy" in 5th grade.

His mom, after praying for wisdom, started requiring her two sons to write two book reports for her every week. Her sons did not know that she was unable to read as she pretended to read the reports. After a month, Carson said, he began to enjoy reading.

Carson is a devout Seventh-Day Adventist. He credited the Book of Proverbs with taking away his anger after he tried to kill someone at the age of 14. He reads the Book of Proverbs daily and would read from it as part of his spiritual preparation for surgery.
