"What I would like to see more often in this nation is an open and intelligent conversation, not people just casting aspersions at each other," Carson said on "This Week." "I mean, it's unbelievable to me the way people act like third graders. And if somebody doesn't agree with them, they're this and they're that and, you know - it comes from both sides. And it's just so infantile." Quote Dr. Ben Carson
I watched this man speak and I found him "very refreshing" and it was just so nice to hear "an intellectual" which I feel this man is, talk about the troubling political environment we have now.
They want to label him a "conservative" when what he really is is an "Independant" .
What I also liked about him is that he also talked about the significance of the "family unit" which is something I don't hear from politicians these days tbh. It was the first time I noticed something sunk in because when it came addressing the horrible ongoing violence in Chicago, inspite of extremely strict gun laws, the ongoing issue of the kind of families these "criminals" evolve from was finally brought into focus.
What I like about this man is that nobody is "writing what he says" he isn't standing up and talking from some kind of prompter that has all the words "written by people who are paid to put together speaches that can be moving". He doesn't have the animation of the typical "political motivational speaker", instead he speaks from his heart. He didn't take the stance of a bully either, he instead invited those around him to consider how he views some possible things to consider that may be more helpful for our country/society.
What I like about him is that his life was not about the "political arena" like most of the other politicians who are mostly attorneys and all about winning, instead he was his own man who spent most of his life dealing with the issues of "brain health in children". I don't see a man "looking for power and popularity either". I see a very "interesting, intellectual man" wanting fairness for all. While he does bring a religious tone to his speach, well, after all it is a prayer beakfast, the quotes he has are messages we know can lead to better mental health that have been simply worded the same without a religious tone.
