Cal Thomas: Why do liberals fear success? | WashingtonExaminer.com

There are many successful liberals, so why do so many of them wish to subsidize failure for the poor, instead of showing them how to succeed?
Take Dr. Ben Carson, as one example. Carson, the renowned neurosurgeon at Johns Hopkins Hospital in Baltimore, is enjoying a certain amount of celebrity unrelated to his profession for speaking his mind about how individuals and the nation might succeed if more Americans were less dependent on government.
Carson, who is African-American, has been denounced as insufficiently black because he won't toe the liberal line when it comes to big government and the implication that those in the African-American voting bloc, huge supporters of the Democratic Party, who fall below the poverty line cannot succeed without it. The fact that many have not succeeded with government has apparently escaped the notice of his critics.
