Dr. Ben Carson Doubles Down On Likening Obamacare To Slavery
“You know Obamacare is really I think the worst thing that has happened in this nation since slavery,” Carson said Friday. “And it is in a way, it is slavery in a way, because it is making all of us subservient to the government, and it was never about health care. It was about control.”
This is antithetical to the original intent of what America was supposed to be. Federal government was there to allow people to pursue life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness, not to control every aspect of their lives. And we’re sleeping through it. We need to wake the people up.
The American people, we the people are not each other’s enemies. The enemies are those people behind the curtain pulling every string, driving a wedge in every place that they possibly can. Be it race, be it gender, be it age, be it income. Doesn’t matter. If you can keep everybody divided and at each other’s throats and you can throw them off the real issues, then they won’t even noticed that the government is insinuating itself into every part of their life and gradually changing America into something that we don’t want it to be.

Dr. Carson is demonizing all of the social programs he has benefited from. Isn’t that the very definition of hypocrisy? How does he not understand that other people can also benefit from social programs? Does he not understand it, or is he trying to earn points with the Tea Party?
It is clear that Dr. Carson is intelligent. It is clear Dr. Carson is a very skilled doctor. What is not clear, at least not to me, is how he can be so completely detached from reality, logic and reason when it pertains basic human rights.
He recently made the claim that the Lord told him to call for a flat tax when he was at the Obama prayer breakfast last year.
He’s retired from his chosen profession as a neurosurgeon. Maybe he should look into being a Walmart greeter and leave the presidency to someone who isn’t hearing imaginary voices.

I seriously don't think Ben is playing with a full deck. Big government social programs were good for him - but now he condemns those same programs for others who also need a helping hand.
