Ben Carson: Leftists Think The Only Thing Worse Than Satan Is A 'Black Conservative'
[Townhall] While speaking at the Faith and Freedom Coalition Conference on Friday, Housing and Urban Development Secretary Ben Carson told the audience that his decision to enter politics was based on "knowing who has all the power" and guidance from God which "is where real courage comes from." While he maintained that he is is "not a politician" and hopes "to God to never become one," he did point out that leftists often denigrate him for his affiliation with the Republican party and also compared the fight to end abortion to abolitionists fighting to end slavery.

"In our society, for some people on the other side, the only thing worse than Satan is a black conservative," Sec. Carson said with a chuckle.

"Blacks are supposed to think a certain way," he continued. "If you do not think that way, you are an Uncle Tom. To me, know what that sounds like? Racism."

"I knew I would be attacked. I will go from being a hero to the goat," he said of his decision to enter the 2016 presidential primary race.

"I knew I would take a big cut in income. All of these things would happen," he explained. "I started thinking, what if all the other people who preceded me helped make this into a great country had taken that attitude. Where we would be? Some of us does have to go out there and we have to just ask God, what would you have me do and for the wisdom to do it. Do not worry about the consequences. God will take care of the consequences."

#4 My thoughts exactly, JohnQC. They used to offer large rewards for their capture and return. They can't do that anymore.
