Frasi di Benjamin Carson pagina 4

“[…] la riforma Obamacare penso che sia davvero la cosa peggiore che sia mai successa, dopo la schiavitù. E in un certo senso […] è schiavitù perché… perché ci rende tutti sottomessi al Governo. Non è mai stata una questione di assistenza sanitaria, ma di controllo.”

“[…] ho fatto conoscenza con Donald Trump durante gli ultimi anni. In realtà è un uomo molto intelligente che ha davvero a cuore l'America. Ci sono due Donald Trump discordanti. C'è quello che si vede sul palco e c'è quello che è piuttosto cerebrale, si siede a fare considerazioni con molta attenzione. Si può avere una buona conversazione con lui, ed è il Donald Trump che vedrete sempre più spesso.”

“Seguo l'islam con attenzione e ho dovuto rassegnarmi al fatto che ogni musulmano è obbligato a seguire la sharia: la legge del taglio della mano e della lapidazione. E ho scoperto che no, la sharia è immutabile, oggi come mille anni fa. Questo è in contrasto con i diritti delle donne, dei bambini, dei gay e di tutte le persone libere. Qualcuno mi smentisca e io cambierò idea.”

“Ultimately, if you accept the evolutionary theory, you dismiss ethics, you don’t have to abide by a set of moral codes, you determine your own conscience based on your own desires. You have no reason for things such as selfless love, when a father dives in to save his son from drowning. You can trash the Bible as irrelevant, just silly fables, since you believe that it does not conform to scientific thought. You can be like Lucifer, who said, “I will make myself like the Most High.””

Benjamin Carson: Frasi in inglese

“The reason that [political correctness] is very troubling to me is that it’s the very same thing that happened to the Roman Empire. They were extremely powerful. There was no way anybody could overcome them. But these philosophers, with the long flowing white robes and the long white beards, they could wax eloquently on every subject, but nothing was right and nothing was wrong. They soon completely lost sight of who they were.”

“Every human being experiences risks; some of the risks are common to all humans, and some are unique to the life each of us has been given to live. But I know for certain that risk – both it's shadow and its reality – has shaped my life inside and out.”

“I want people to see me as an honest person, a person who is actually willing to express what they believe. The way I look at it, if people don't like that, I'd rather not be in office. I don't want to be in office under false pretenses, just saying things people want to hear so I can get elected.”
