WND, by Joseph Farah, February 7, 2014

WASHINGTON – Dr. Ben Carson, the brain surgeon turned popular political analyst, told WND Obama administration officials are “acting like the Gestapo” with the Justice Department indictment of Dinesh D’Souza coupled with the Internal Revenue Service’s political targeting of the administration’s critics.

“I believe we are dealing with an extremely corrupt administration,” he said.

Dr. Carson himself became the subject of an IRS audit after criticizing Barack Obama’s policies at the annual National Prayer Breakfast in Washington last year.

Carson: Children need to harness brain power - Winston-Salem Journal: State / Region

HICKORY — Noted neurosurgeon Ben Carson and other speakers sounded a rallying cry for retooled education and reverence to God at the Hickory Metro Convention Center on Thursday night.

More than 500 people gathered to hear Carson and others tell their tales of triumph through faith, discipline and action.

The Rev. Mark Harris, senior pastor of First Baptist Church in Charlotte, and the Rev. Barry Black, current U.S. Senate chaplain, also spoke.

Carson talked about growing up in dire poverty, surrounded by bad influences and complacency. He said he remembered his cousins being killed and seeing people dying from bullet wounds.

It was his mother who altered the course of his life. He said he had not seen any importance in his studies and was frequently taunted by the more successful students in class.

"I was always the butt of every joke about being stupid," Carson said.

Carson said that his mother, who had a third-grade education, had a powerful work ethic and supported her children as a single parent.

"She saw that no one that went on welfare came out of it," Carson said. "She didn't want to be on it in the first place."
