Here's a fellow who had been a neurosurgeon at Johns Hopkins for over 30 years. Babies conjoined at the head, he is the one that did that. He's a superstar. Ben Carson steps away from medicine, looks at the political environment around him, and he is aghast at what he sees.”

“We are not taught to fear our politicians, who can debase our currency, throw us in prison and send us to war - but rather we are taught to fear each other.

I believe wholeheartedly in putting pressure on the politicians and in maintaining the conservation organizations.”

“My fellow Americans, ask not what your country can do for you, ask what you can do for your country.”
