1) SEE THE PRAYER BREAKFAST SPEECH THAT’S GRABBING HEADLINES: DOCTOR ATTACKS POLITICAL CORRECTNESS, NATIONAL DEBT IN FRONT OF OBAMA

By Billy Hallowell

• Dr. Benjamin Carson delivered a noteworthy National Prayer Breakfast keynote speech in President Barack Obama’s presence
• Carson attacked political correctness as a “dangerous” threat to free speech and encouraged Americans to boldly share their views
• The pediatric neurosurgeon also provided his theories about the national debt, deficits, taxation and health care, taking stances that were opposed to the president’s
• Obama watched intently as Carson spoke for more than 25 minutes

–Eric Metaxas is coming to our church on February 21 as part of his 10 city tour on his book on Dietrich Bonhoeffer.  Really fascinating book, and Eric is a great speaker.  He spoke to the National Prayer Breakfast last year with Obama looking on.  He wrote a book about it called, "No Pressure, Mr. President."  Anyway, if you can make it to Peachtree Pres on Roswell, great, but if not you should watch this simulcast on March 4thwhich Eric notes is the only day on the calendar that is a command.  

Speaking of prayer breakfasts, if you missed Dr. Benjamin Carson at the Unity Prayer Breakfast on Thursday, here is a link.  It was PHENOMENAL, also with Obama looking on.  Dr. Carson has an amazing story, and this is worth watching.  It seems like most of my heroes these days are African-American men who have refused to be victims (Allen West, Herman Cain, Justice Thomas).  Obama is not one of those heroes, and is visibly uncomfortable during this speech.

UPDATE: Dr. Carson Reveals Why He Spoke Out Against Obama’s Policies at Prayer Breakfast — Plus, Would He Ever Run for President?

–

One of the more unique speeches delivered at this morning’s National Prayer Breakfast came fromDr. Benjamin S. Carson, a world-renowned pediatric neurosurgeon at Johns Hopkins Hospital. Taking the stage before President Barack Obama’s faith-filled address, Carson spoke for more than 25 minutes, tackling issues ranging from education to personal responsibility. His keynote, while predicated upon the theme of Jesus Christ as his ultimate role model, also took a starkly political tone, advocating against some of the very policies the president has implemented.

At the beginning of his speech, Carson shared an intense disdain for political correctness. Without getting too specific on the issue front, he said that Americans should stop being afraid to speak up and defend their beliefs; he also encouraged people to respect the individuals they disagree with. Carson held little back, condemning political correctness as “a horrible thing” that is “dangerous,” as it hampers freedom of thought and expression.
