Common Sense

"I'm going to talk a little bit about what's logical and what's common sense today, because we don't hear a lot of that."  - Doctor Ben Carson

At the 2013 Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC) Dr. Ben Carson, indeed spoke about common sense. Every American who believes they live their own lives with any modicum of common sense should use the link above. They should take the time and watch all 23 minutes and 46 seconds of Ben Caron's speech. Yes, my fellow countrymen, it is that simple.

And considering this great and talented man, Dr. Carson, who seems to be hinting at entering politics, my first reaction is to say "no." After watching his presentation, and knowing the influence he has made on countless lives, both in medicine, and in his efforts in education, my reaction is to shield him from the pathetic state of American politics.


But this is not someone who shies away from challenge and adversity. In fact this is exactly the type of person who should rise and speak for us, because he is the embodiment of the American spirit of exceptionalism. He is one of us, the people.
