“The only foundation of a free Constitution, is pure Virtue,
and if this cannot be inspired into our
People (emphasis added), in a great Measure, than they have it now. They
may change their Rulers, and the forms of Government, but they will not obtain
a lasting Liberty.”
John Adams: letter to
Zabdiel Adams, June 21, 1776
“Do we agree with the vision of the founding fathers? Or have we become
much wiser than they were and feel the need to adopt a different vision?”
Dr. Ben Carson asks the question of the
century. One that hasn’t been asked nearly as often or vocal as needed. But
that is about to change. “We the People”, collectively, are waking up with the
help of the Tea
Party and people like Ben Carson. And it is scaring the pants off the
progressive liberals. You want proof? Check out an opinion piece by progressive
Nick Rudnik in Valdosta Today titled “VALDOSTASTATE UNIVERSITY SHOULD CANCEL THEIR ‘EVENING WITH DR. BEN CARSON” published June 11, 2014. Go ahead and read
it to notice the fear through veiled partisan prejudice. But please scroll down
to the bottom and read the over hundred comments on his piece. Most of them are
a searing rejection of his stand and support Ben Carson.
You may not agree with every
point Ben Carson makes but the thing that scares the progressives most is that
Ben’s position is not one of just Democrat or Republican but rather either can
have a good idea and both can work together to advancement of American values.
And those values will be determined by our founding documents and all parties
working to find those meanings. I love what Ben once said, “Why is it that the eagle is able
to fly high, forward, because it has two wings; a left wing and a right wing.”
This is the kind of people we need running our country. That is why others like
Nick Rudnik don’t like someone like Ben, because it means socialistic ideas are
in trouble. But if we want our nation to be as our founding father envisioned
it then we must come back to the foundations.
I believe Ben Carson should run
for president because he is a healer, a realist who knows American politics
without being a politician (as our recent history has defined it) and shares
the vision of our founding fathers. If you investigate and agree please go to RunBenRun.org and sign the petition to convince Ben “We
the People” want him.
“The
U.S. Constitution doesn’t guarantee happiness, only the pursuit of it. You have
to catch up with it yourself.” — Benjamin Franklin
