Ben Carson to visit Las Vegas on Sunday

Republican presidential hopeful Ben Carson accused colleges & universities of being “a little too tolerant” & accepting of “infantile behavior” within the wake of separate protests at the College of Missouri & Yale College, Carson’s undergraduate alma mater.

A day after the fourth GOP primary debate, Carson told about 12,000 people at Liberty University on Wednesday that “many in the media want to bring me down, because I represent something that they can’t stand”.

The debate gave the eight candidates a platform to lay out policy in more detail than before.

“I think that anyone who stands up firmly for what they believe in, is going to get vetted for it”, senior Josh Roper said. “I appreciate that”, he told the moderators. Are you kidding me?

With more than a dozen candidates still clambering for the 2016 Republican presidential nomination, much attention has been paid to the campaign claims of noted retired neurosurgeon Dr. Ben Carson – particularly the veracity of claims he has made recently about his once-explosive rage as a young man and teen. West Point does not charge tuition or fees to those who receive an appointment to attend the school.

Carson discovered through reading about accomplished people that he was in charge of his destiny.

Carson, who has topped a few recent national polls of Republican presidential candidates and is holding onto second place in the Reuters/Ipsos poll, has been the subject of intense scrutiny in recent weeks. “If we don’t do something about it soon, and it collapses, what happened in 1929 on Wall Street will be a walk in the park”.

As reported by Western Journalism, Politico published a piece last Friday charging Carson with fabricating an account in his autobiography of turning down a “full scholarship” to West Point. Carson mocked the Vermont senator’s proposal to make public colleges tuition-free.

After hearing the report questioning Carson’s recollections about the scholarship, 39 percent of Republicans said they had a less favorable view of him, with 26 percent saying it was “somewhat” less favorable and 13 percent saying it was “much” less favorable.

Liberty sophomore Aimee Fehr of Louisa, Virginia, said Carson “is extremely popular” on the campus, founded in 1971 by the Rev. Jerry Falwell Sr., who also led the Moral Majority conservative movement.

Former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton’s Democratic presidential campaign retweeted a message Thursday from one of her staffers, Marlon Marshall, that said “Racism has no place anywhere, let alone an institution of learning”.
