Ben Carson Courts Controversy, Draws Praise At A Md. Legislative Prayer Breakfast

Ben Carson, the prominent neurosurgeon with Johns Hopkins University who made headlines last month at the National Prayer Breakfast in Washington, shared his disdain for political correctness with Maryland lawmakers during an event Friday in Annapolis.

“We are moving further and further away from God,” Carson said at an annual Legislative Prayer Breakfast held near the State House. “God is becoming politically incorrect in our nation. ... You live in a society today where we have the secularists and the people who fear God.”

Carson recounted how he was once prohibited from putting up a sign for his scholarship fund in a public school because its motto contained the word “God” and was told this violated the First Amendment.

He's absolutely correct - keeping God out of our lives while exercising restraint so as to not to offend Muslims is wrong.

Dr. Carson has a handle on the major issues in the U.S., has common sense, and tells the truth... a man of integrity. With these attributes he'll ... loose anything he runs for. His problem is "uninformed voters" that could give a crap about anything.

Pray he isn't killed for reaching for his wallet in some made-up traffic stop. He has psissed off a lot of the wrong people and the things he is saying ain't supposed to be spoken in such a high profile manner. There are drones for people like him....maybe now yet, but keep cheering.
