Dr. Ben Carson is a political hypocrite.

I guess the difference was he moved on and did not consider public
assistance a lifestyle.

Most of us have no problem with a safety net, we just don't want it to
be a hammock.


And to even consider for a second that harry represented the facts
properly and honestly would be pretty foolish... Just sayin'.


There does seem to be a bit of misdirection if not pure bull**** in
Harry's cut and paste rant.
A guy who graduates high school at the top of his class and performed
as well in undergrad school does not sound like an "affirmative
action" student.
His mother worked at least 2 jobs most of his life and concentrated on
his education.

Harry must be profiling when he assumes there was that much public
assistance. Maybe he is just prejudiced against poor black people.


We have known that for over a decade...

It's been documented. If you are that interested, it is easy enough to
find. Here's an interesting quote from Carson himself:

Carson, in his book, tells how his grades improved tremendously when a
government program provided him with free eyeglasses because he could
barely see. Not only that, in “Gifted Hands” we read this nugget: “By
the time I reached ninth grade, mother had made such strides that she
received nothing but food stamps. She couldn’t have provided for us and
kept up the house without that subsidy.”

Dr. Carson is an example of what those programs are intended to do. Not
all will become neurosurgeons but the programs are intended to give
motivated people an opportunity. Unfortunately not all take advantage
of the government programs and the become dependent on them for life.

So which one of the leftist blogs/news outlets that you subscribe to
sent you that data sheet on Carson? Can only mean that the Dems are
becoming a little concerned with Hilary's waning popularity.
