. Benjamin S. Carson Good morning and enjoy your well deserved weekend. It is so extremely unfortunate that many people including celebrities like Oprah Winfrey have decided to play the race card by indicating any of the people who oppose President Obamas agenda are simply doing so upon the premise of racism. This is an invalid criticism as many people simply oppose a large government seizing control over the liberties we have formally considered to be integral characteristics of our nation. It is time to grow up and stop describing the opposition of an individuals beliefs to be exercised as racist, this is so close-minded. Is it truly racist to oppose the forced implementation of a system of healthcare that places the government in charge of ones most prized possession, your health? Is it racist to oppose the highest corporate tax rates in the world which drives business out of our nation rather than into it? Is it racist to oppose wealth redistribution which stifles business development and American entrepreneurship? Is it racist to oppose the policies of the Environmental Protection Agency that dont promote energy independence? Is it racist to oppose having a weak or non existent foreign policy that places the entire world in danger? Is it racist to oppose presidential rhetoric that has produced an intolerably divisive atmosphere throughout the nation? Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. had a dream of a day when we would collectively evaluate people on the basis of their character and not the color of their skin. By assuming that opposition to the president is racist we instantaneously find ourselves having abandoned Dr. Kings dream.
