Speaking at the National Religious Broadcasters Convention, Carson said, America's Judeo-Christian values "are things we don't want to get rid of for the sake of political correctness or for the sake of being like everyone else. We're not like everyone else."

(Nashville, TN)—On Monday, February 24, at the annual National Religious Broadcasters Convention, Dr. Ben Carson—former director of pediatric neurosurgery at Johns Hopkins Hospital, the 2008 recipient of the Presidential Medal of Freedom, and named as one of the nation's 20 most eminent physicians and scientists—took the platform to discuss a host of issues.

Exhorting Americans to value and defend the Judeo-Christian values at the cornerstone of this nation's founding, he said, "Those are things we don't want to get rid of for the sake of political correctness or for the sake of being like everyone else. We're not like everyone else."

Addressing political conservatives, of whom Carson is one, he said, "There is no question that conservatives need to understand the power of unity. Right now we have a ship that is about to sail off the Niagara Falls and everyone is going to be killed. We have people looking over the bannister saying, 'but we have a barnacle on the side.' Forget about the barnacle. Let's get the ship turned around. Then we can talk about the barnacles after that."

"We need to look at the big major issues," he continued, "and stop allowing ourselves to be divided up over the little issues, about which there will always be differences of opinion. We can never unite on all of those things, nor do we need to. I always say, if two people agree on everything, one of them isn't necessary."
