No matter what he says, Ben Carson is the best brain surgeon we could have for Surgeon General. Behold: The wisdom that comes from so much direct contact with human brains:

On the greatest nation in the world. |
You know, we live in a Gestapo age [because of the IRS], people don’t realize it.”
“I think most people, when they finish that [AP History] course, they’d be ready to go sign up for ISIS.” President Obama “looks clean. Shirt’s white. The tie. He looks elegant, like most psychopaths. That’s why they’re successful. That’s the way they look. They all look great.” “I mean, [our society is] very much like Nazi Germany. And I know you’re not supposed to say ‘Nazi Germany,’ but I don’t care about political correctness. You know, you had a government using its tools to intimidate the population. We now live in a society where people are afraid to say what they actually believe.” |

"German citizens were disarmed by their government in the late 1930s," which allowed the Nazis to "carry out their evil intentions with relatively little resistance."
“To threaten the Second Amendment rights of ordinary American citizens is itself insanity. Those wishing to ban all assault weapons fail to understand the original intent of the Second Amendment.” "I never saw a body with bullet holes that was more devastating than taking the right to arm ourselves away." "I used to think they (guns) needed to be registered, but if you register them they just come and find you and take your guns." “If you’re gonna have rules for war, you should just have a rule that says no war. Other than that, we have to win.” |
On arms & disarmament. |
|
On his personal fortitude. |
"A classmate came along and began to ridicule me. I had a large camping knife in my hand and without thinking I lunged at him, plunging the knife into his abdomen.”
"I would just fly off the handle and really become quite irrational and try to hurt people with baseball bats, hammers, whatever." "Guy comes in, puts the gun in my ribs. And I just said, 'I believe that you want the guy behind the counter'" |

“When I take a patient to the operating room and open the cranium, exposing the brain, I am operating on the actual thing that makes that person who they are.”
“You know, Obamacare is really, I think, the worst thing that has happened in this nation since slavery. And it is, in a way. It is slavery in a way because it is making all of us subservient to the government.” “I think what’s happening with the veterans [dying while waiting for care] is a gift from God to show us what happens when you take layers and layers of bureaucracy and place them between the patients and the health care provider." "And I've always said, 'If two people think the same thing about everything, one of them isn't necessary.' We need to be able to understand that if we're going to make real progress." "There is no one that we can afford to throw away." |
On keeping America healthy and the importance of life. |

On women's domain over their own bodies. |
"The number one cause of death for black people is abortion."
Planned Parenthood is "an organization whose founder believed in eugenics," "There may be a war on what's inside of women, but there is no war on women in this country." “Many of us turn a blind eye to the wanton slaughter of millions of helpless human babies who are much more sophisticated than some of the other creatures, when nothing is at stake other than the convenience of one or both parents. I am not saying that we should abandon our efforts to save baby seals and a host of other animals. Rather I am saying shouldn’t we consider adding human fetuses and babies to the list?” |

“Because a lot of people who go into prison go into prison straight””and when they come out, they’re gay. So, did something happen while they were in there? Ask yourself that question.”
"Well, my thoughts are that marriage is between a man and a woman. It’s a well-established, fundamental pillar of society and no group, be they gays, be they NAMBLA, be they people who believe in bestiality. It doesn’t matter what they are. They don’t get to change the definition." |
On the gays. |
