Pushing Boundaries

Military Action Is Never The First Thing That You Jump To. You Always Look At Other Possibilities, Including Economic Sanctions, Tightening The Screws.

Economic Sanctions

If You Don't Have Anything Useful To Say Then You Attack People. If You Feel That Your House Of Cards Has Been Discovered And Is Starting To Come Unraveled, You Become Very Desperate. Intelligent People Tend To Talk About The Facts. They Don't Sit Around And Call Each Other Names. That's What You Can Find On A Third Grade Playground.

Intelligent People Tend To Talk About The Facts. They Don't Sit Around And Call Each Other Names. That's What You Can Find On A Third Grade Playground.

If You Hear How Wonderful You Are Often Enough, You Begin To Believe It, No Matter How You Try To Resist It.

And I Know You’re Not Supposed To Say ‘nazi Germany,’ But I Don’t Care About Political Correctness. You Know, You Had A Government Using Its Tools To Intimidate The Population. We Now Live In A Society Where People Are Afraid To Say What They Actually Believe.

Obviously, Discipline Is Necessary For Children. Training Is Necessary For Children. Just Like If You Want To Train A Vine, You Have To Apply Physical Manipulation To Get It To Go Where You Want It To Go, But As It Learns, Then You Don't Have To Do That.

As Far As The Command Centers Are Concerned In Raqqa And To A Lesser Degree Mosul, Cut Those Off.

Those Are Things That Work.

If We Make Every Attempt To Increase Out Knowledge In Order To Use It For Human Good, It Will Make A Difference In Us And In Our World.

I Think What's Happening With The Veterans Is A Gift From God To Show Us What Happens When You Take Layers And Layers Of Bureaucracy And Place Them Between The Patients And The Health Care Provider. And If We Can't Get It Right, With The Relatively Small Number Of Veterans, How In The World Are You Going To Do It With The Entire Population?

If I Speak In The Tongues Of Men And Of Angles, But Am Note Nice, I Am Only A Resounding Gong Or A Clanging Cymbal.

If I Give All I Posses To The Poor And Surrender My Body To The Flames, But Am Not Nice, I Gain Nothing.

Everyone In The World Worth Being Nice To. Because God Never Creates Inferior Human Beings, Each Person Deserves Respect And Dignity.

As I Was Growing Up, People Were Always Trying To Talk About Their Sexual Conquests, Trying To Make Themselves Appear Like A Cassanova. I'm Surprised You Haven't Heard That, I Really Am.

They Were Saying You Would Be A Tremendous Addition To The Military, And We Can Get You Into West Point With A Full Scholarship. And I Simply Said, I Want To Be A Doctor. I Really Appreciate It.

I Consider Myself A Logical Person And, You Know, A Lot Of People Try To Categorize Me In One Way Or Another. You Know, There Are Some Of The Things That I Say That Probably Would Be Considered Very Much Non-conservative. But I Don't Think Really Conservative Or Liberal; I Think: What Makes Sense? What's Going To Help The American People? What's Going To Give Them What They Need? Not Only In Health Care But In Terms Of Jobs, In Terms Of Education, In Terms Of A Whole Host Of Issues.

We've Gotten Into This - This Mindset Of Fighting Politically Correct Wars. There Is No Such Thing As A Politically Correct War. The Left, Of Course, Will Say Carson Doesn't Believe In The Geneva Convention, Carson Doesn't Believe In Fighting Stupid Wars. And - And What We Have To Remember Is We Want To Utilize The Tremendous Intellect That We Have In The Military To Win Wars.

Because 9/11 Is An Isolated Incident. Things That Are Isolated Issues As Opposed To Things That Fundamentally Change The United Sates Of America And Shift Power From The People To The Government. That Is A Huge Shift. You Have To Take A Long-term Look At Something That Fundamentally Changes The Power Structure Of America.

Our Strength As A Nation Comes In Our Unity. We Are The United States Of America, Not The Divided States. And Those Who Want To Divide Us Are Trying To Divide Us, And We Shouldn't Let Them Do It.

We Need To Reorient People In Terms Of What Real Success Is All About.

The Mind Controls So Much Of The Body. We Are Much More Than Flesh And Blood; We Are Complex Systems. Patients Do Better When They Have Faith That They're Going To Do Better. That's Why I Always Tell My Patients And Their Families Not To Neglect Their Prayers. There's Nobody I Don't Say That To.

Under Islamic Law, Homosexuals - Men And Women Alike - Must Be Killed. Women Must Be Subservient. And People Following Other Religions Must Be Killed.

We Need To Be On A War Footing. We Need To Understand That Our Nation Is In Grave Danger.

I Got Involved With Classical Music When I Was In High School And It's Followed Me Throughout My Entire Life And Probably Had A Profound Effect On My Life.

Classical Music

I'm Referring To Anybody Who Is Trying To Interfere With The Process Of Interfering With What The Will Of The People Are. It Is The People Who Should Make The Decision. And Whoever That Decision Is, The Establishment Needs To Get Behind Them And Push Them, Not Be Going In A Different Direction, There Is No Way That Can Be A Successful Startegy No Matter What You Believe Or Who Is The Candidate.

Our Country Since Its Inception Has Been At War, Every 15 Or 20 Years. But The War That We Are Fighting Against Radical Islamist Jihadists Is One That We Must Win. Our Very Existence Is Dependent Upon That.

Do Not Underestimate The Importance Of Feeling Special.

Economics Is Not Brain Surgery.

I've Had Experiences In My Life That Leave No Doubt In My Mind About The Fact That God Exists. I'm Quite Willing To Debate People Who Don't Think So Because I Want Them To Explain To Me How Did Our Solar System Get So Organized And How Is The Universe So Complex And Yet Well-organized That We Can Predict 70 Years Hence When A Comet Is Coming?

The More I Learn About The Human Body, Our Environment, And The Universe, The More It Increases My Faith.

When I Look At The Human Brain I'm Still In Awe Of It. Every Single Time You Lift Off The Bone And Open The Durra And There It Is - The Human Brain, The Thing That Gives A Person A Personality, That Distinguishes Each One Of Us, That There Could Be More Than 6 Billion Of Us Here On This Planet With Brains That Look The Same, But Each One Being Distinctly Different Because Of What Is Going On In That Thing. I'll Never Get Over My Awe Of That.

You Don't Have To Be A Brain Surgeon To Be A Valuable Person. You Become Valuable Because Of The Knowledge That You Have. And That Doesn't Mean You Won't Fail Sometimes. The Important Thing Is To Keep Trying.

If You Don't Accept Excuses, Then People Will Stop Giving Them And Will Start Looking For Solutions.

Every Person Is Endowed With God-given Abilities, And We Must Cultivate Every Ounce Of Talent We Have In Order To Maintain Our Pinnacle Position In The World.

Secular Progressivism, Which Attempts To Remove God From The Public Square, Is Not Consistent With The Principles That Established The Usa.

You Know, Many People Have Said That I'm On The Edge And I'm Maverick For Some Of The Big Operations That I've Done. I'm Not At All. I Pray; I Ask God To Give Me Wisdom, 'should I Do It?', Guidance In Terms Of How To Do It, Who To Consult With. All Those Kind Of Things Are Incredibly Important.

We Should Use Our Economic Power In Lots Of Different Ways. I Think We Can Use That In Order To Keep [vladimir] Putin Contained, Because He Is A One-horse Show. Energy. And We Have An Abundance Of Energy, But We Have Archaic Energy Exportation Rules. We Need To Get Rid Of Those, Allow Ourselves To Really Make Europe Dependent On Us And Other Parts Of The World Dependent On Us For Energy. Put Him Back In His Little Box Where He Belongs.

We Should Be Concerned Not Only About The Health Of Individual Patients, But Also The Health Of Our Entire Society.

America Became A Great Nation Early On Not Because It Was Flooded With Politicians, But Because It Was Flooded With People Who Understood The Value Of Personal Responsibility, Hard Work, Creativity, Innovation, And That's What Will Get Us On The Right Track Now, As Well.

I Know A Lot Of People In Washington Would Say, Well, You Know, Indigent People Can't Manage Their Health Savings Account. They're Too Stupid. But They're Not Too Stupid.

If We Would Spend On Education Half The Amount Of Money That We Currently Lavish On Sports And Entertainment, We Could Provide Complete And Free Education For Every Student In This Country.

I Detest Politics, To Be Honest With You. It's A Cesspool. And I Don't Think I Would Fare Well In That Cesspool Because I Don't Believe In Political Correctness And I Certainly Don't Believe In Dishonesty.

I Would Prefer That In The Republican Party, We Not Engage In Trying To Destroy Each Other, Because All That Does Is Hand The Election Over To The Democrats. I Don't Know Why There Is This Penchant For Snatching Defeat Out Of The Jaws Of Victory, They'll Find Some Way To Destroy Themselves. And It Is Just Maddening To See It Happening.

Rather Than Reacting To Every Risk We Hear And See, We Should Make An Effort To Discern Which Ones We Can Do Something About.

What We Have To Stop And Think About Is That We Have Weakened Ourselves Militarily To Such An Extent That If Affects All Of Our Military Policies.

Why Should I Give Someone Else Such Power Over My Life?

There Are Two Different Donald Trump's. There's The One You See On The Stage And There Is The One Who Is Very Cerebral. He Sits There And Considers Things Very Carefully. You Can Have A Very Good Conversation With Him. And That's The Donald Trump That You'll Going To Start Seeing More And More Of.

Good Conversation

My Strong Belief Is That God Created Human Beings And Therefore He Knows About Every Aspect Of The Human Body. So If I Want To Fix It, I Just Need To Stay In Harmony With Him.

I'm A Part Of The Gop And Let Me Tell You What My Stance Is. My Stance Is That, We The People Have The Responsibility To Take Care Of The Indigent In Our Society. It's Not The Government's Job.

Ruthless Is Not Necessarily The Word I Would Use, But Tough, Resolute, Understanding What The Problems Are, And Understanding That The Job Of The President Of The United States Is To Protect The People Of This Country And To Do What Is Necessary In Order To Get It Done.

Maybe That's The Problem. But Whether They've Heard It Of Not. The Issue Is The Train That Is Going Off The Cliff. After We Save The Country, After We Keep The Train From Going Off The Cliff, I Would Welcome, Quite Frankly, A Discussion Of Morality In This Country. I Think It Would Be A Wonderful Thing If We Bring Back Our Judeo-christian Values Once Again. I Think It Could Do Nothing But Help Us. I Would Be All In Favor Of That.

One Of The Reasons Surgeons Have So Much Trouble Separating Siamese Twins Is That Nobody Gets To Do Many Of Them. On The Table, The Anatomy Is So Different From Normal, That You're Constantly Trying To Figure Out, 'can I Cut This? Does This Wire Lead To What?' It's Like Trying To Defuse A Bomb.

America Need A Significantly Changed Taxation System. And The One That I've Advocated Is Based On Tithing, Because I Think God Is A Pretty Fair Guy. If You Give Me A Tithe, It Doesn't Matter How Much You Make. If You've Had A Bumper Crop, You Don't Owe Me Triple Tithes. And If You've Had No Crops At All, You Don't Owe Me No Tithes.

Joseph Built The Pyramids In Order To Store Grain. Now, All The Archeologists Think That They Were Made For The Pharaoh's Graves.

Some People Say You're Weak Because, You Know, You're Not Loud And You're Not Boisterous And You're Not Rude. But The Fact Of The Matter Is, Look And See What I've Done. And That Speaks Volumes About Strength.

Compassion, However, Should Mean Providing A Mechanism To Escape Poverty Rather Than Simply Maintaining People In An Impoverished State By Supplying Handouts.

What You're Saying Is That 'i, The Superior Elite, Will Take Care Of You.' Why? Because, You See, That Superior, Elite Group Needs To Feel Superior And Elite.

I Would Love Us To Bring Back Our Juedo-christian Values And Begin To Teach Those Things, At A Time Other Than A Political Election.

Anyone With A Normal Brain Can Do Almost Anything.

Knowledge Is The Key That Unlocks All The Doors. You Can Be Green-skinned With Yellow Polka Dots And Come From Mars, But If You Have Knowledge That People Need, Instead Of Beating You, They'll Beat A Path To Your Door.

God Has Opened Many Doors Of Opportunity Throughout My Lifetime, But I Believe The Greatest Of Those Doors Was Allowing Me To Be Born In The United States Of America.

We Turned Our Back On Israel, Our Ally. You Know, And A Situation Like That, Of Course [barack]obama's Not Going To Be Able To Do Anything. I Would Shore Up Our Military First, Because If You Don't Get The Military Right, Nothing Else Is Going To Work.

Occasionally I Talk With People Who See Doctors As People Who Do Nothing But Give Of Themselves And Never Receive From Anyone Else - Especially Not From Their Patients. That Is Totally False. The Longer I Remain In My Profession, The More I Realize How Much I Receive From Those Who Come To Me For Help.

I Would Support Whoever The People Have Chosen. We Have To Abandon The Thinking That There Is A Bunch Of Politically Elite People Who Know What Is Best, Let The People Determine For Themselves Who Is Best.

I Just Happen To Believe That People Are Not Stupid.

God Has Given To Every One Of Us More Than Fourteen Billion Cells And Connections In Our Brain. Now Why Would God Give Us Such A Complex Organ System Unless He Expects Us To Use It?

Our Schools Too Often Want To Shut People Up So They Can't Talk About Real Solutions. People Who Think Differently Tend To Clam Up Because They Think Something Is Wrong With Their Ideas.

My Mother Only Had A Third Grade Education, Was Illiterate, Worked As A Domestic 2 To 3 Jobs At A Time, Because She Didn't Want To Be On Welfare, Because She Never Saw People Who Went On Welfare Come Off Of Welfare, And She Just Didn't Want To Have Her Life Controlled In That Fashion.

It's Very Difficult To Speak To A Large Group Of People These Days And Not Offend Someone. I Know People Walk Around With Their Feelings On Their Shoulders Waiting For You To Say Something - Ahh - Did You Hear That? And They Can't Hear Anything Else You Say. The Pc Police Are Out In Force At All Times.

Quite Frankly, Having An Uninformed Populace Works Extremely Well, Particularly When You Have A Media That Doesn't Understand Its Responsibility And Feels More Like It's An Arm Of A Political Party. They Can Really Take Advantage Of An Uninformed Populace.

I'm The Only One To Separate Siamese Twins.the Only One To Operate On Babies While They Were Still In Mother's Womb, The Only One To Take Out Half Of A Brain.but I'm Very Hopeful That I'm Not The Only One Who's Willing To Pick Up The Baton Of Freedom, Because Freedom Is Not Free, And We Must Fight For It Every Day. Every One Of Us Must Fight For It, Because We're Fighting For Our Children And The Next Generation.

There Is No Fulfillment In Things Whatsoever. And I Think One Of The Reasons That Depression Reigns Supreme Amongst The Rich And Famous Is Some Of Them Thought That Maybe Those Things Would Bring Them Happiness. But What, In Fact, Does Is Having A Cause, Having A Passion. And That's Really What Gives Life's True Meaning.
