Dr. Ben Carson On Criticizing Obamacare: "Somebody Has To Stand Up To The Bullies"

Remember when it was patriotic to dissent? That was when Liberals were out of power. Now we are told to "respect authority" or, in other words, shut up and sit down.

DR. BENJAMIN CARSON: There are a group of people who would like to silence everybody and have everybody go along to get along, but that's not going to be very helpful for us in the long run, in terms of solving our problems. And somebody has to be courageous enough to actually stand up to, you know, the bullies.
 

 The woman who interjected herself in one of the Presidential debates by siding with Barack Obama CNN's Crowley Asks Panel If Dr. Carson's Speech Was "Offensive"  By her comments Crowley identifies herself as one of the bullies.

DR. CARSON: One of the things I also said during the speech is there will be some people who will say, 'but you’re a doctor and you’re a surgeon, you should be sticking to that.' And I mentioned the fact that five physicians signed the Declaration of Independence and were involved in the framing of the Constitution and the Bill of Rights and several other things.

There’s absolutely no reason at all that physicians, scientists, shouldn’t be involved in things that affect all of us. We’re people who've learned how to make decisions based on facts, empirical data, rather than on ideology, and one of the geniuses, one of the real things that made us a great nation, is that we brought people from all backgrounds into the legislative process. So that all of us would be able to place our interests there and we've gone significantly away from that.

And no one goes up to a lawyer and says why are you getting involved in this, that and the other thing. I don't see why they would say it to a physician, who has more education than anyone else in society.
