Dr. Ben Carson opened the annual, three-day Conservative Political Action Conference today. The potential 2016 presidential candidate made his views on many conservative issues clear.

“We need to reach out to people who think that maybe being dependent is reasonable as long as they feel safe,” Dr. Carson said. “And it isn’t.

Dr. Carson talked tough on terror. “Radical Islamic groups are in their adolescent state,” he said. As president, he’d “destroy them first” instead of waiting to see what they do next.
School choice is important for black parents who care that their children are stuck in inferior government schools. “I am ready for school choice…We need to recognize education is the great liberator in our country,” Dr. Carson said. “No one has to be a victim.”
