Savoring free speech
Republican frontrunner Dr. Ben Carson has made the news quite often with his controversial, and frankly disturbing, comments. Whether it is comparing abortion to slavery, or stating that if Jews had more guns during the rise of Nazi Germany, then the Holocaust would’ve never happened. Not only do these statements demonstrate his ineptness with history, they illustrate his lack of judgment in favor of scoring political points with the most extreme factions in his party’s base. Unfortunately, this has helped him. One of the many reasons the GOP constituency supports Carson is because he is not a Washington politician or insider. Instead he relies upon his campaign director, Barry Bennet, a long-time Washington political operative to push forward his ever-growing campaign. Right now, Carson has surpassed Trump in a CBS national poll.
