Dr. Ben Carson Not Politically Correct, Makes Obama Squirm
‘The PC police are out’ said Dr. Ben Carson at keynote speaker of the prayer breakfast , attended by President Obama, as the noted pediatric neuro-surgeon went on to speak his mind, even if it went against ‘Obamacare’ and other of Obama policies.
Carson surprised many, especially Obama, not used to squirming as he gimace during the 27 minute address. Carson talked about growing up in poverty and how his mother tried to instill independence in her kids, showing them they had control of their own destiny. He spoke against the ‘entitlement’ society of today while Obama looked down, much like he did during his first Presidential debate in October.
‘We’ve dumbed things down. when people become less informed they become vulnerable,’ said Carson. Carson talked about turning off the TV and our real responsibilities. He spoke about t his hero, Jesus, and how he used parables to put across his points. He spoke about GOOD health care – ‘effecient’ and spending twice as much on health care as any other country; he spoke about a living health certificate where people have control over their own health care, where people don’t go to the emergency room for a quick fix but to a clinic for all their problems.
Carson compared lawyers to policians. The ‘need to win‘ drives both, he said. He spoked sadly as how smart minority kids are looked down uponby their peers where as student athletes are praised and earn big money. Carson started a scholarship program 16 years ago because of the problem.

Catch glimpses of Beach Boys’ Mike Love playing Tanner’s Electro-Theramin in this early, stereo version of the revolutionary ‘Good Vibrations (Listen for the eerie, wavering tones heard more in the latter part of the song)
Dr. Paul Tanner, trombonist with Glenn Miller from 1938-1942, plays the love theme from “The Glenn Miller Story” with the Tex Beneke Orchestra in 1960. The song was written by Henry Mancini.
PAUL TANNER PLAYED WITH GLEN MILLER, BEACH BOYS – HELPED DEVELOPD THERAMIN
Imagine in one lifetime playing trombone with Glen Miller during the Big Band Era of the 1940s , playing 25 years later on the Beach Boys’ No. 1 rock and roll hit, ‘Good Vibrations’ (theramin!) while improving the old theramin instrument you used to hear in scary movies, and then becoming a UCLA professor in the 1970s. Paul Tanner, who passed this week at 95, did all that and more. He helped to improve the unwieldy theramin instrument, which is that odd, eerie, synthesized sound you hear in the Beach Boys’ avante garde recording of Good Vibrations. The original inventor of the theramin, Samuel Hoffman, saw his career effectively end in 1959 when trombonist Paul Tanner invented the mechanical “Electro-Theremin” used in the Beach Boys song. Here the orginal instrument at http://OldiesCountry.com
May I add, that I was a student of Mr. Tanner at UCLA in 1973, where he went on to teach even after making a small fortune from the Beach Boy’s #1 hit record. He taught none else than The Appreciate of Jazz’ and was one of the most popular teachers; it was very difficult to get into his class, where he played and recounted a lot of the old Miller sounds and taught from first hand experience. (One of my other teachers at UCLA was Dr. Demento (‘History of Rock and roll’)

There was none better than news commentator Paul Harvey as a watchdog for our nation. when he first saw things begin to deteriorate following the assasination of President Kennedy, he came out with the original version of ‘If I Were The Devil’ in 1964. Since then the audio has been updated as things have only got worse, with a final version from 2012, perhaps tweaked by Harvey’s son, Paul, Jr. Havey Sr passed several years ago at age 90. If these prophetic words don’t shock the country – or at least those people of old values who really care – then perhaps nothing will.

By Paul Harvey
I would gain control of the most powerful nation in the world;
I would delude their minds into thinking that they had come from man’s
effort, instead of God’s blessings;
I would promote an attitude of loving things and using people, instead of
the other way around;
I would dupe entire states into relying on gambling for their state revenue;
I would convince people that character is not an issue when it comes to
leadership;
I would make it legal to take the life of unborn babies;
I would make it socially acceptable to take one’s own life, and invent
machines to make it convenient;
I would cheapen human life as much as possible so that life of animals are
valued more than human beings;
I would take God out of the schools, where even the mention of His name was
grounds for a lawsuit;
I would come up with drugs that sedate the mind and target the young, and I
would get sports heroes to advertise them;
I would get control of the media, so that every night I could pollute the
minds of every family member for my agenda;
I would attack then family, the backbone of any nation. I would make
divorce acceptable and easy, even fashionable. If the family crumbles, so
does the nation;
I would compel people to express their most depraved fantasies on canvas and
movies screens, and I would call it art;
I would convince the world that people are born homosexuals, and that their
lifestyles should be accepted and marveled;
I would convince the people that right and wrong are determined by a few who
call themselves authorities and refer to their agendas as politically
correct;
I would persuade people that the church is irrelevant and out of date, the
Bible is for the naive:
I would dull the minds of Christians, and make them believe that prayer is
not important, and that faithfulness and obedience are optional;
I GUESS I WOULD LEAVE THINGS PRETTY MUCH THE WAY THEY ARE!

OBAMA’S CHOICE OF HAGEL LATEST QUESTIONABLE CABINET NOMINEE, CONSTITUENTS AFRAID TO CRITICIZE
In past adminsistrations someone who performed so poorly as Chuck Hagel in his hearing to take over as Secretary of Defense, would be rejected for a cabinet post. Yet, now it’s as if everyone gets a pass. With the exception of Susan rice, who smartly dropped out of the running for Secretary of State it seems like every one of Obama’s nominees now gets a rubber stamp. Obama’s pick for secretary of defense, Chuck Hagel, is a proponent of selective strikes, including drone kills, to maintain America’s edge in the war on terrorism without risking major troop deployments. He showed little knowledge of the sequestration and hardly defended his anti-Israeli stands.
John Kerry, who has had a strong anti-defense position in the past – rather surprising for a Secretary of State nominee – must have appeared as ‘jewel’ in comarioon to Hagel as he slid right through the nomination process, which is hardly a process anymore. And, now we have a possible sexual allegation against yet a third potential cabinet member. Yet, espite this all three are expected to succeed the ‘nomination’ process. One begins to wondre why they have a nomination process at all. Only susan rice as failed to make it and that’s only because she withdrew.
And, by the way, why is it that virtually every cabinet member from the first term has quit Obama, including Hillary Clinton, after saying how well she did and how much she will miss her ‘amazing team.’ There’s always a few turnovers during two term Presidential administratoiins but to see basciall the entire Cabinet seemsr un-Presidented.
Thank goodness for a few like Lindsay Graham who are not afraid to confront the obvious,
ie that Hagel is an incompetent replacement- and other issues, like Obama’s role in
Benghazi. Now that HIllary has finally spoken on Benghazi, Graham promises to hold Obama, the last man
NOT to talk, to the fire…
The fact of the matter is that Obama and his authoritarian administration have put fear
in , primarily, his own Democratic constituents. Even on the Republican side, only the few
Grahams and McCains are willing to risk the wrath – including that of the media,
which has gotten so behind the Obama administration its a joke. Imagine iof George W
was in the same shoes as Obama and how the media would have excorigated him.
OBAMACARE – After the Fact
Now it comes out the obamacare, if we may call it that which is what most people
know it as, not only is causing layoffs around the country but will cost the average
family of five $20,000 a year – that’s $3,000 per person,
on average, or roughly $250 a month per person, which is more than many of us were/are paying
for their r own health insurance where they can ‘call their own shots,’ so to speak
DRONE STRIKE REVELATIONS
Seems that Obama has no problem risking other lives in his desire to kill terrorist leaders, even without full provocation, witness the Benghazi debacle ,nd the 23 Navy Seals who, quietly, lost their lives,e tc.
