Ben Carson writes for RealClearPolitics:
We have painted our fellow Americans as “deplorable,” “stupid,” and worse. It is this type of malicious, political rhetoric fueled by opportunistic politicians and profit-driven media organizations that has roiled our deeply divided nation.
We are better than this. Words such as compromise, compassion, and civility are twisted, maligned and tainted as somehow being dirty, or have magically disappeared altogether.
It is for these reasons — and many others — that I am launching a nonprofit conservative think tank with the goal of providing common-sense solutions to some of our nation’s biggest problems. The first step in healing is to start talking to one another again. The American Cornerstone Institute will be dedicated to creating dialogue and smart discourse.
Read the full column. As you may recall, Carson has said that prison turns men gay and that the pyramids were built to store grain. That’s just for “think tank” starters.
Today I am proud to announce the launch of my new think tank, The American Cornerstone Institute.
