Carson: Another ‘Progressive’ President With Court Nominees Spells End of America

Ben Carson calls on conservatives to revive country (Denver Post)

Rising political star Ben Carson opened Friday night's Western Conservative Summit in Denver by saying that "Republicans, Democrats, people of faith and people of common sense" must start working together.

"Our country is in a lot of trouble," the retired neurosurgeon said in the summit's keynote address. "It's really in critical condition."

He urged fellow conservatives to stick together and stop parsing out "Republicans as RINOs," a reference to Republicans in name only.
