ROVE HUNTING By John C Anger

2011-11-02T14:51:00.000-07:00

The Decline of the Establishment GOP
He broke out his white board in order to erase the minds of the people. What he did instead was verify his own decline in value in any political environment. He tried to ensure the America voter that you are mindless and need to listen to him. What he said did not sway the people but caused the people to rise up again and say, “we decide for ourselves!” Karl Rove, get off the track or get run over, cause the Cain Train aint stopping!
Let’s look back in time. It was 2007-2008 and some people in the Republican Party were causing the boat to shake a bit by voting for a candidate they were not suppose to. His name was Mike Huckabee. As the uproar started, career GOP operatives gathered to push their establishment candidate forward in order to reign in the voice of the people. John McCain was the ordained candidate and the people would have to live with that.
Following the money trail, I found Mr. Rove was in the establishment movement. He gave a considerable donation to Senator John McCain and was also said to be a consultant for the candidate. This was a formula for failure. The combination of an establishment candidate with the backing of the GOP establishment is what got President Obama elected.
Karl Rove bares responsibility for the crisis America faces today and he’s trying nothing more than to sell us the same formula for failure this go around. As he goes to bat for his establishment candidate in Mitt Romney, he holds nothing back to discredit not only Mr. Herman Cain, but the very people who are thinking for themselves who choose Mr. Cain as their candidate. He thinks the American people are not smart because they are choosing Cain over Romney. He is doing nothing but campaigning for Romney with a bigger stage and no one to call him on it! Hey Fox News, where’s your fair and balanced?
A few days later he’s at it again. Not attacking Cain, but campaigning for the candidate he’s trying to shove down our throats. He’s blinded to the fact that the people don’t want another establishment candidate. We want a Herman Cain! No more people who put a fast spin on the way they are going to keep things the same, but instead a real person who is going to bring a bold change to Washington DC. So Mr. Rove, please let us think for ourselves and stop trying to shove your Romney down our throats!
Mr. Rove, it is people like you that have awakened a sleeping giant in the citizens of the United States of America. It is these citizens who have the right to stand up when its government has oppressed them and turn the fate of this nation to become, as Ronald Reagan said, a shining city on a hill. As the Declaration of Independence states, people have the right, ‘to throw off such government, and to provide NEW GUARDS for their future security’. And Mr. Rove, it is people like you who are the accomplices of a government which has formed, ‘a long train of abuses’! You have helped create the problem and it’s the right of the people to fix it.
The people of America have awoken to such abuses to their rights that they took the time to become informed. The people who they found that did the most damage were the politicians the people entrusted. Then the people saw a group of political pundits who would year after year try and sell us the same politicians in a different skin. The people of America are sick of this ride and we are stepping off this Rhino merry-go-round and onto the Cain Train to the White House. So Mr. Rove and all your coconspirators, get off the track!

The RIGHT to LIFE

2011-10-25T00:41:00.000-07:00

The Right to Life
by Laurie “Blondie” Pruser-Stockman

The Declaration of Independence specifically states that the inalienable rights of anyone are the Right to Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of Happiness; the Constitution of the United States of America does not but it should, in my opinion.

It is argued that there is a protection in the Constitution that protects a person's life, and there is. It is the 5th amendment "No person shall....Be deprived of Life, Liberty or property, without due process of the law..." So is the problem here defining a person, not life?

We need a constitutional amendment (yes, I know that would be time consuming but it would be appropriate) that clearly states that the Right to LIFE is a right to everyone regardless of age, physical, mental or developmental state, until that person does something that requires that the law removes that right from them. It might be more prudent to actually define when a person becomes a person but there in lies the argument.

Let's address this question first: What if anything should force anyone to relinquish their right to LIFE? When they take another's LIFE? When they take their Liberty and/or affect their means of obtaining Happiness?

I did a bit of investigating to find out what laws address this issue.

• http://www.deathpenaltyinfo.org/death-penalty-offenses-other-murder

It seems that the aggravated rape of a child is a resounding variable in several states including TEXAS, South Carolina as well as the US Military.

• http://www.deathpenaltyinfo.org/aggravating-factors-capital-punishment-state

Here a repeating theme is when a murder is committed and the murder is especially heinous, atrocious cruel or depraved *or involved torture

But what are the FEDERAL LAWS that say that you relinquish your right to LIFE?

• http://www.deathpenaltyinfo.org/federal-laws-providing-death-penalty

The Federal Government views your right to life to be effected in a broader sense. Murder while smuggling of “aliens”, drive-by shootings in drug related crimes, espionage, transportation of explosives or the destruction of government property or foreign and interstate commerce, murder of a judge or cop, or first degree murder.

What is first degree murder? In most states, it is defined as a killing that was premeditated (planned). . And of course treason and murder that is the result of terrorism.

So now, I present to you this to deliberate: When does the right to Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of Happiness end?

Herman Cain has said. . "You can pursue happiness as long as you do not infringe upon someone else’s liberty. You can have liberty as long as you do not infringe upon someone else’s life." * 2004 and various times since.

The words in our Declaration of Independence say "Pursuit of Happiness". . . not the Right to be Happy. But Liberty needs no definition nor does LIFE.

If you are not alive you have no right to Liberty or Right to Pursue (obtain, search out, work to gain) Happiness. And if you are not alive you are no longer a person who can have their rights taken from them.

This brings us to the much discussed question, “When does life begin?”.

I do not understand the confusion and why this is consistently being argued as I have known since my very first lesson in a biology class that scientist maintain that living things have five (5) basic characteristics.

1. Living things are highly organized.
2. All living things have an ability to acquire materials and energy
3. All living things have an ability to respond to their environment
4. All living things have an ability to reproduce
5. All living things have the ability to adapt.

The unborn child has all of these abilities and characteristics. So is a baby in the womb of its mother a life/person or not?

1. It is a very highly organized being from conception on.
2. It has the ability to acquire the necessary components to grow.
3. The baby certainly responds to its environment within the womb. It moves when stimulated. It even attempts to make more room for itself by pushing, turning and stretching within the safety of its mother’s body which was designed for the very purpose of providing it a secure environment in which to live.
4. It has the ability to reproduce; it reproduces through mitosis to become a fully functioning human and a female baby is born with all the ova that she will ever have in her lifetime.
5.It has the ability to adapt; It begins life in a sac of amniotic fluid within its mother’s womb and upon birth it begins to adapt to life outside of the womb.

I believe that the unborn child has met the 5 basic criteria for being classified as Living and therefore since its DNA is shared with a human woman and man who both created that life, whether intentionally or unintentionally; it is a human or person. So that person must not be denied its Right to LIFE.

I do not see any incidence where an unborn baby could be found guilty of any crime which legitimizes a reason to have its Right to Life ended. . . not one.

Herman Cain has stated that he is “100% pro-life, period”. “Life begins at conception.”

But how will he govern as President of the United States of America? Mr. Cain realizes the limitations placed upon the executive branch and the President in particular, by the Constitution of the United States of America. He has stated that as President, he has no authority to order a person not to seek an abortion. He is correct. There is no such provision in our Constitution. He has chosen to live within the fundamental laws which give our government its powers as 3 independent branches instead of grandstanding ad making promises outside of those laws and the scope of the power of the Executive branch of our Federal government.

So as President, what would President Cain do? He will appoint judges who understand the original intent of the Constitution. “…Judges who are committed to the rule of law know that the Constitution contains no right to take the life of unborn children.” Mr. Cain goes on to state that he will oppose any abortion funding; he will veto legislation that funds Planned Parenthood and he will do everything possible “consistent with his constitutional role as President” to advance the culture of life. *Letter dated October 21, 2011 to supporters.

Again, I feel that a Constitutional amendment to specifically state that the unborn child has the inalienable Right to Life is necessary. That law would follow the original intent of our founding fathers. The unborn child’s Right to Life is simply an Inalienable (Incapable of being alienated, surrendered, or transferred) Right.

I believe that Herman Cain is pro-life and will, with the powers granted him through the Constitution of the United States of America, truly promote the rights of innocent babies to Life so that they can have Liberty and Pursue Happiness.

Herman Cain is Fully Pro-Life~End of Story

Herman Cain is Fully Pro-Life~End of Story

“Herman Cain’s pro-life,” David O’Steen, executive director of the National Right to Life Committee,told National Review. “He addressed our convention last June. We are quite confident in his pro-life position. When he ran in the primary for senate some years back … he ran as a pro-life candidate then in Georgia. We’ve known of him for a number of years, and he’s always taken a pro-life position.”

“Those that believe taking the life of the unborn is a choice has gotten away from the Godly principles,” he said. “The way we’re going to protect the unborn in this nation is to work on the right problem, get God back in our culture.”

Cain said pro-life advocates must change hearts and then minds will follow and he urged pro-life advocates to do more to promote the work of pregnancy centers.

“Let young women know about alternatives to these so-called Planned Parenthood facilities. We have to inform and educate people and let them know about resources like the one in Dallas Texas where I visited called the Source for Women. When young women show up there, the first option isn’t getting an abortion, the first option is counseling to show these young ladies the alternatives to abortion,” he said.

Cain's View on Abortion Policy

"Yesterday in an interview with Piers Morgan on CNN, I was asked questions about abortion policy and the role of the President.

I understood the thrust of the question to ask whether that I, as president, would simply "order" people to not seek an abortion.

My answer was focused on the role of the President. The President has no constitutional authority to order any such action by anyone. That was the point I was trying to convey.

As to my political policy view on abortion, I am 100% pro-life. End of story.

I will appoint judges that understand the original intent of the Constitution. Judges who are committed to originalism know that the Constitution contains no right to take the life of unborn children.

I will oppose government funding of abortion. I will veto any legislation that contains funds for Planned Parenthood. I will do everything that a President can do, consistent with his constitutional role, to advance the culture of life."

Herman Cain -

Cain will underscore that message with a $1 million advertising campaign in key states and congressional districts targeting black radio programs and urban radio stations young African Americans enjoy. Some of the ads focus on abortion.

“I have been a consistent and unwavering champion of pro life issues,” Cain added. “In no way does this singular instance of clarification denote an abandonment of the pro-life movement, but instead, is a testament to my respect for the balance of power and the role of the presidency.”

Herman Cain: 'It's Not Planned Parenthood -- No, It's Planned Genocide'

"Here's why I support de-funding Planned Parenthood, because you don't hear a lot of people talking about this, when Margaret Sanger - check my history - started Planned Parenthood, the objective was to put these centers in primarily black communities so they could help kill black babies before they came into the world," Cain told CNSNews.com on Tuesday when speaking at the conservative Heritage Foundation.

"You don't see that talked that much about," said Cain. "It's not Planned Parenthood. No, it's planned genocide. You can quote me on that."

Republican Presidential Candidate Herman Cain Rallies Pro-Lifers on First Coast

The Republican candidate insisted there was a connection between protecting religion in the public square and defending the unborn.

“The way we’re going to protect the unborn in this nation … is to get God back in the culture,” insisted Cain.

Praising Martin Luther King Jr. as a “great leader,” Cain said that pro-life advocates should look to the civil rights movement for inspiration. “First change the hearts and then we change the minds,” said Cain.

Cain insisted in his speech that pro-life voters not back down in the 2012 election cycle. “We have got to fight back,” he said. “We fight back with our voices and our votes.”

Herman Cain blasts Roe v. Wade

Senate candidate defends the life of unborn children and calls conservatives to action
January 22, 2004

Herman Cain, conservative Republican candidate for U.S. Senate, issued the following statement on the anniversary of the Supreme Court decision of Roe v. Wade:

Today we mourn the murder of millions of innocent lives because of the decision made 31 years ago by the United States Supreme Court to give doctors the right to end the life of an unborn child. Unbelievably, the decision of Roe v. Wade shows that our Nation still chooses to place human convenience over the sanctity of human life.

No great nation can prosper when life is not valued. Once the Supreme Court decided that the right to life was obsolete, the very basis of our country was lost. A civilized society is marked by its treatment of the defenseless. When the most innocent of human life, the life of an unborn child, can be ended for the sake of convenience, the moral fabric of our society is destroyed.

The Declaration of Independence is very clear: We have the right to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. Our Founding Fathers understood that order.

You can pursue happiness as long as you do not infringe upon someone else’s liberty. You can have liberty as long as you do not infringe upon someone else’s life. And life begins at conception.

How many great accomplishments and discoveries have been lost because of legalized abortion? Have we missed finding the cure for cancer because a life was ended prematurely? Did we lose the next Albert Einstein, Ronald Reagan, Amelia Earhart or Martin Luther King, because the legal termination of life continues? As long as legalized killings are permitted, we not only lose a life, we lose all the potential that life has to offer. Not only do individuals suffer, the United States as a country suffers every time an abortion occurs.

Infanticide will continue as long as our society accepts the lie that a mother has the right to terminate a child’s life. These women are sadly comforted by the blanket of Roe v. Wade. But there is still hope. If people today will continue to unite together to fight against legalized abortion and make their voices heard, we can make a difference. Life needs to be respected and celebrated, not terminated.

A conversation I'd like to have with those Protesting on Wall Street.

A conversation I'd like to have with those Protesting on Wall Street.

By Laurie Pruser-Stockman

Protesting Wall Street is not going to keep Wall Street from buying politicians who in turn write the laws that benefit Wall Street not the citizens who are protesting Wall Street. . .who will surely buy more politicians. .

It's a circle... So what to do? If what you want is for your tax dollars and those of others to do good for people who need it. . go to Washington, like the TEA Party and demand that the politicians stop raising taxes on YOU and start doing their jobs, 1. Oversee the FED as it is their duty by the law that created the FED. 2. Stop being bought.( the only way to truly do this is to not vote them back into office) 3. Make them come up with a budget that is not only balanced but feasible. Demand transparency.. you're not getting it. It begins with the person running the Oval Office and frankly I'm not sure who that is at this time.

Look at Who Wall Street donates to the most . . . it's probably not who you think it is.

Our country was designed to be a republic. . not a democracy.

Why do you want the government to take more money from anyone when they haven't even passed a budget ( with a super majority for 2 years and a majority that they have now) in over 903 days? These are the same people who bailed out the banks etc. . *these banks were not going to fail as they paid off their loans early with interest* so they should have been allowed to follow the protocol of a troubled business and re-organize.

Dodd-Frank does not protect you as a consumer. . . it is the problem much as Fannie Mae, Freddy Mac and Sally have been for decades.

Change the players but know who is supporting your choices. . . it's not that hard; if you Hope to see Change that you can Believe in.

I'd like to know what percentage of each dollar taken in for medicaid/medicare/social security actually gets to the people needing these programs and what percentage of that dollar goes to administrative costs? I have little doubt why all of the programs are insolvent. Do you?

If the Federal Government were a business. . would you buy what they're producing? Would you opt to keep bailing them out? As an investor ( and you are) would you demand a new CEO and board? Would demand a change in how that business did business? I would. . I do. . I am not part of the 1%. . I'm at the bottom of the 99% and I am the TEA PARTY and I support putting a true Leader and Problem Solver in the White House. . I support Herman Cain. " There might be different styles of leadership but there’s still only one formula for successful leadership: making sure you know how to identify the right problem, set the right priorities, and surround yourself with good people.” Mr. Herman Cain.

"Why America - especially Black America, needs Obama vs Cain in 2012"

2011-10-19T17:36:00.000-07:00

"Why America - especially Black America, needs Obama vs Cain in 2012"

One would think that nearlyone-hundred and fifty years after Abraham Lincoln issued the EmancipationProclamation, and years after various Civil Rights Acts were put into placedesigned to expunge discrimination towards Black people, that America would nolonger be so unyielding in it's fixation with race and racism from all sides.After all, there are persons from every race, gender, age group, birthplace,profession, educational background and any other categories that played a rolein one or the other or both legislation. If you don't think so, stop readingnow, learn some history and come back to this-seriously. Many of you even asyou read this are brooding with all sorts of data, feelings, excuses andreasons regarding said events/documents and are already in defense mode twosentences into this missive. That is your prerogative however, I ask only thatyou quiet your mind with such distractions and hear me out.

The year is 1977. FellowGeorgian Jimmy Carter was President. The world's first personal computer wasdemonstrated – the Commodore PET. Apple Computer was incorporated. The OaklandRaiders won Super Bowl XI, the Trailblazers won the NBA finals and the Yankeeswon the World Series. Roots premiered on network television and so did StarWars in theaters. Elvis Presley performed his very last concert ever & diedthat same year. Atari 2600 was released. The Department of Energy was formedand for the first and only time, snow fell in Miami, Florida and I was born -privileged. I was born to two Black parents, both southerners, both born in1948 and dealt with the worst kind of racism and discrimination there was. Myown paternal grandfather was killed when my Dad was only nine years old inNorth Carolina over his race. My mom was born in rural Alabama to a family ofeighteen children, but says she was “shielded from racist White southerners” asa child because her father did not allow nor take his children into the citymuch where most of the blatant racism and Jim Crow laws were in effect. Heexperienced it for them, so most of them were adults before they were hitdirectly with it. I say that I was born privileged because by 1977 black andwhite people had already endured the bulk of the struggling and fighting racismso that I have been able to live my life for the most part without any racialincidences. In fact, I can only think of one time in my life where Iexperienced racism and it was on a job and my White employer promptly fired theWhite woman. For those Americans who fought the fight and gave their lives, Iam eternally grateful.

For the life of me, I cannotfigure out why some of those who did live through such times cannot simply letgo of those times. You have some White people who are still stuck in the 1960'sand hate or discriminate against not only Blacks but minorities in general andyou have Black people who are just as stuck in those times, and anytime anyoneWhite does anything you don't like to or with a Black person - the motive MUSTbe because they are racist (folks people do dumb things for reasons other thanrace). Excuse my candor, but to both groups, What in the hell were you fightingfor exactly? because based on your constant bickering and name-calling in themedia, anyone on the outside looking in would think it was all for show. ThankGod we have white and black people who lived through such times in our historywho conduct themselves much more intelligently. MLK Jr said he was fightingbecause he wanted his children to be judged by the content of their characterand NOT the color of their skin. I brought up my own parents because they hadevery reason to hate White people and did not then and do not now! (My Dad isdeceased) The members of the younger generations such as mine walking aroundshouting “racism”every other day and subscribing to that inflammatory Liberalracism rhetoric – you are the epitome of what MLK Jr's dream was NOT and shameon these irresponsible Liberals who keep you on their mental plantations.

Now unanimously, when someonemy age watches documentaries on civil rights or reads a book on the subject wecannot help but notice a common theme – freedom and equality for ALL. Now I canunderstand why White and Black Liberals like Michael Moore, Bill Maher, JesseJackson, Al Sharpton and Cornel West want to keep the racism cards fullystacked because they need to stay in the spotlight and this pays their bills.Bill Maher even said, “Denying racism is the new racism” - Oh I know hereceived more cement in his Black Liberal community walk of fame star for thatone. The Black Liberals also know that many in the minority communities won'tfeel that they are “representing” properly if they don't present a racistcharge against a White person now and then or attack a Black Conservative suchas Herman Cain. Cornel West thinks Herman Cain is “smoking a symbolic crackpipe”even. I think Cornel West is smoking other botanical extractions –literally not figuratively, to say something so irresponsible about his“brother”-Mr. Herman Cain. He had more sensitivity when criticizing TylerPerry, one of the most prominent champions of buffoonery in the blackcommunity. Yes, I went there.

Now when Barack Obama wascampaigning for President there was so much excitement around the idea that wecould even have a Black president. Despite his lack of experience in politicsand economics (He did not achieve anything notable as a Senator) Black andWhite people rallied behind his “Hope and Change”. Even I drank some of thatkool-aid because he campaigned as someone who would and could begin to changethings – especially economically and yet, to date, he has failed us all.Despite his fiscal irresponsibility and failed policies, there are black andwhite Liberals who will ignore this and still vote for four more years of this!This was quite baffling to me until I realized that many were planning to votefor him based on his race alone!

So now we have another Blackman – Herman Cain, who is leading the polls for the GOP nomination and is alsomy pick to defeat Obama in the 2012 election. His resume is replete withbusiness experience and I especially like the fact that he states his goals andhe sticks to his guns when he comes under criticism. Obama, (I'm chuckling)keeps coming up with costly legislation and before the ink even dries on it, hebegins shifting the blame to Congress for not passing it. We all know thatCongress has been controlled by his own party, the Democrats, since 2007 whenthen President Bush was in office right? I don't know about you guys but I likemy presidents to have convictions and to stand up to the criticizing bullies asHerman Cain did throughout the debates on his 9-9-9 plan, his views onimmigration and his view on the misdirected OWS protests. Barack Obama is themaster of utilizing scapegoats and likes to throw his Democratic controlledCongress “under the bus” far too often for my taste.

Unlike most Liberals, I haveevery confidence that Black Americans in this country have the ability to thinkfor themselves, analyze information about the candidates and choose whom theywill vote for outside of a person's race and so do their white counterparts. Wedon't need you Jackson, Sharpton, Waters, Joyner,West, Carson & your whitesycophants to throw out the race cards to distract us from seeing the real issues.We can think for ourselves – I know you don't really want us to but the time isover for your rhetoric and political games. Tom Joyner, I know you know ofPresident Obama's failures and you outright ditched looking at the issuestogether and told Black America:

“Let’s not even deal with the facts right now. Let’s deal with justour blackness and pride — and loyalty,” “We have the chance to re-electthe first African-American president, and that’s what we ought to be doing. AndI’m not afraid or ashamed to say that as black people, we should do it becausehe’s a black man.”

Now Tom, Really? You wouldinsult Black voters of both parties that blatantly? Sorry Tom, we don't needyour input either, and that was very irresponsible bro. It's interestingbecause Herman Cain has never asked any voter, regardless of color to vote forhim because he is a Black man and furthermore, I will be bold and add that hemay even be insulted if someone voted for him just because of his race for hismerits far exceed his skin color. This is why America needs an Obama vs Cainelection. This is why I'd like to see the 2012 election to be an Obama vs Cainelection because then the black & white liberals who want us all uneducatedand viewing the entire process through the prism of race when we cast ourballots, can shut their traps. Then and only then, just as in every otherelection where two white men faced-off, we would all be forced to look at theissues. This time with two black men, we'll have the same balance – to choosebased on their merits and platforms, ignoring race. This is the ideal situationin American Politics – to throw out race as a determining factor when Americansexercise their right to vote. Perhaps one day, Dr. King's dream will be fullyrealized, and it won't take two opponents of the same race to cast away theblinders fixed upon many American myopic eyes. Oh, how I look forward to such atime!

Now you have people like theblack Liberal Al Sharpton who attacked Herman Cain saying that he is not “authenticallyBlack” (whatever that is) Well Mr. Sharpton, if you want to talk about racialauthenticity, I can do that. The black communities across America are sodiverse as are each individual member of those communities that to assert“blackness” based on habits, behaviors, language or experience to a degreeeven, as some have, is so utterly ridiculous that I will not entertain it.Anything else you could come up with would be so silly that I'll just delveinto my science background and pick genetics to determine race and therefore“blackness” for the purposes of your “argument.” Let's just say that the darkera black person is, that this is directly proportional to the amount of geneticmaterial he has inherited from his African ancestors. If this is the case, thenobviously Herman Cain has more African genetic material in him than PresidentObama and therefore, he is “blacker” than Obama. At least that is what flowslogically from the original premise because Herman Cain's complexion is darker.There is no dispute there. This also means, since you want us to vote for themost “authentically Black” person for President, then we should vote for HermanCain! (Well we all should but not for that reason)

Folks, do you see how silly andillogical these “publicity Liberals” are? Now of course genetic variation inpopulations comes from mutations in genetic material, gene flow and randomdispersal of genes through sexual reproduction. Also, environment was and is ahuge factor in the phenotypes & physiological adaptations humans developedover time in order to survive in their various environments, which resulted inthe three major “race categories” that humans categorize themselves in. Thisbasically means that there are really no true “races” because our phenotypesare an inheritance from years of adaptations to various physical environmentsby our ancestors. So what we should do in America – all of us, is vote for thebest member of the humanrace. Liberals, that means we can no longer listen to nortolerate your race-baiting and since Herman Cain will face-off with BarackObama, you'll be in the unemployment line soon anyway. Your alternative is, asour human ancestors did, to adapt and find a new means to survive in ourpolitical environment instead of manipulating the masses of voters in thiscountry to voting how you wantthem to vote. I repeat, we can think for ourselves! and that thinking shouldnot involve race, as we will see two men of the same race, as has been thestatus-quo since our government began, compete for votes.

A Static Argument Against a Dynamic Solution

A Static Argument Against a Dynamic Solution

Just Doesn't Stand Up

by J C Anger

The latest thing the critics are attacking is Herman Cain’s 9-9-9 plan. This plan REPLACES the current tax code and installs a 9% personal flat income tax, a 9% flat corporate tax, and a 9% sales tax. Top economists agree that this plan would ignite the American economy so greatly that one of the immediate results would be 6 million new jobs created. If this is the case why is it getting attacked so badly? It’s because people are using static arguments in this dynamic world we live in.

I have heard the argument that the tax will raise the taxes on the poor. I have heard the argument that the plan would double income tax. I have even heard the argument that the plan will create a 27% tax. All of these arguments would exist only if we lived in a Socialistic society where the prices were fixed by the Federal government. Since we live in a free market economy you cannot use the same arguments.

Static economic arguments can only hold water when the prices of goods remain the same while economic factors change. This occurs when a Socialist government controls the price of goods and prevents a base price in those goods per law and directive. Once the government raises the taxes, the prices go up based not off the market value of the good since it is a controlled and set price, but instead on the tax burden alone. This alludes to the ability of a government to control every aspect of life to include the market system as to oppress certain levels of societal class. It even alludes to the fact that with static economics a government can drive people into a lower class than they are by controlling the overall cost of living factors contained within a society. Even though there are some who would like to see America turn into this economy, this argument cannot be used because we live within a free market economic society.

,“Herman Cain’s 9-9-9 plan would be a vast improvement over the current tax system and a boon to the U.S. economy. The goal of supply-side tax reform is always a broadening of the tax base and lowering of marginal tax rates. Mr. Cain’s plan is simple, transparent, neutral with respect to capital and labor, and savings and consumption, and also greatly decreases the hidden costs of tax compliance. There is no doubt that economic growth would surge upon implementation of 9-9-9….such a system provides the least avenues to avoid paying taxes, yet also maintains the strongest incentives for work effort, production, and investment.”I think I'll take Laffer's word for it over Michele Bachmann's crazy quip about the 'devil's in the details' if you flip 9-9-9 upside down.

In a free market society, one must use dynamic economics to predict results from actions taken. If we apply Socialistic principles within a free market economy, the very fabric of the economy shifts towards a static economic model. A government that over taxes its people, over spends money with higher regulatory burden, garners more control over its people. This type of government drives more people into poverty while blocking businesses from freely hiring qualified personnel due to the uncertainty contained within higher taxes and over regulation. This type of government is incompatible with a free market economy and it must derail the very economy by oppressing its people. A static economy is n economy where the people can only survive, they cannot thrive.

A free market economy is best developed through dynamic economic conditions. Dynamic conditions are established once compared to the level of economic conditions of like economies. There are multiple levels of economy that each person lives in. The highest levels affect the levels below them. The levels of economy include but are not limited to: World Economy (highest), National Economy, State Economy, Local Economy, and Personal Economy (lowest). Since nations are sovereign, the world economy is exasperated by the full of each individual National Economy. The National Economy is the driving force over State Economy, Local Economy, and Personal Economy. So if the National Economy is oppressive, every economy under it will be threatened to the point where it becomes controlled and Socialism is formed.

Stephen Moore, WSJ economist: His argument for a "9-9-9" plan puts the current income and payroll taxes in the shredder and replaces them with a 9% personal income tax with no deductions, a 9% net business income tax, and a 9% national sales tax.That would be rocket fuel for the economy......http://online.wsj.com/article/SB10001...

So when a National Economy is a free market system it needs to be fed those conditions that will make it thrive so that every economy it touches will thrive. This is done by becoming competitive with other national economies to the point where the conditions are greater than those other nations. If a nation has a lower corporate tax than any other nation in the world it will bring business into its borders. When the jobs come into its borders the unemployment rate will go down. More people will be employed to put more money into the economy. Businesses will compete for the best workers so salaries will go up. This is an example of the dynamics of a free market system.

With the concept of a free market system lets figure out what will happen when the 9-9-9 plan is introduced. With the corporate tax rate being reduced to 9% the US will have the lowest corporate rate in the world by half. This will lower the price of good so much that the entire nation will pay less for goods per dollar even with a 9% National sales tax. This will also bring in many companies wanting to start new businesses in the purest free market system on Earth. With the introduction of these new businesses coming into America the immediate impact is that the unemployment rate will drop so dramatically that it could be halved in the first 90 days. As time goes on even more jobs will be needed to keep up with the increase in business growth so much that the jobs become competitive and the salaries increase. All this and we expand the tax base to offset the National debt while increasing the value of the National currency. With government spending cuts involved, 9-9-9 has been said to eliminate the National debt in 9 years! All of this and we don’t even mention that we lower the overall income tax to the people who will hold better paying jobs. 9-9-9 is a winner!

House Budget Committee chairman Paul Ryan said in an interview with The Daily Caller that he “loves” the idea of having “specific and credible” plans, like presidential candidate Herman Cain’s signature “9-9-9″ proposal, in the national debate about tax policy.Ryan told The Daily Caller in an exclusive interview that Cain’s plan is a good starting point for debate, and shows the GOP presidential campaign season has entered into a more advanced stage where ideas — not just personalities — have come to the forefront.“We need more bold ideas like this because it is specific and credible,” Ryan said. “I’m more of a flat-tax kind of a guy.”The budget chairman went on to say that ideas like Cain’s plan could help shape the debate over tax reform moving into 2013.“It’s great to see such bold ideas,” Ryan told TheDC.Commenting on the sniping among the candidates and their criticism directed at Cain’s plan, Ryan said the entire process would make the eventual GOP nominee stronger going into the general election.Contacted by TheDC on Thursday, Herman Cain’s campaign was appreciative of the unexpected comments.“I consider Paul Ryan to be one of the brightest minds in Washington, D.C.,” said Mark Block, Cain’s chief of staff, “Mr. Cain looks forward to sitting down with Congressman Ryan.

9-9-9 is a replacement for the current broken tax code. Once we apply the idea of the dynamics behind the plan it holds nothing but a prosperous future for this nation. So the next time someone argues against 9-9-9 using a static argument, you will have the ability to realize that their argument holds no truth. We live in a free market society. Free market societies are based on dynamics. 9-9-9 is dynamics supercharged!

"We Are America"

We Are America

By J.C. Anger

“We hold the truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable rights, that among them are life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness.,,, That whenever any form of government becomes destructive to these ends, it is the right of the people to alter or to abolish it” ~ Declaration of Independence

Such a time as we see today we have not seen since the Civil Rights era. People use class and race in order to separate people and cause friction of one group against another. The people who use these tactics the most are those who are in power in our government today or have a voice in the media. They scream at the top of their lungs “Racism!” Yet within their own rant, the seeds of the very thing they claim to abhor, is the very thing they are embracing.

For years I have heard the argument that we need to embrace the differences contained in people. Those who are so-called experts have said that it will be through our differences that we can truly come together in peace. I have one question for those people, “When was the last time you saw a war when people realized they had things in common?” Every war that I have seen throughout history has been a war that has been fought because people had physical or ideological differences and recognized these differences.

Thus the political drama we face today. We have those so-called “Civil Rights Experts” or the so-called “Economically Deprived Experts” coming out and claiming that there are certain people who are either racist or heartless based on their political ideology and personal values. The experts have attacked people like the Tea Party movement, Herman Cain, and Allen West claiming that they were anti-whatever, when in actuality they are only being for America. These very experts have a disdain for the free-market system that has made this nation the greatest nation in the world, and they would love nothing more than to see this nation collapse on itself in order to take claim for their own greatness. Let’s take a look at what they see as the root problem.

First they have attacked female Conservatives. Since they could not control them they tried to vilify them. They called them every name under the sun, while they got a free pass since they are Liberals and Liberals can’t be sexist, racist, or against the poor. They have a free pass to bash anyone they want and no one can speak up against them because if they do they will be labeled sexist, racist, or heartless. What they actually are fighting is the fact that these great Conservative women are thinking for themselves and realizing that the Liberals are doing nothing but demoralizing their position in this world by misrepresenting what women truly believe in. Just ask my wife who is a very impressive Conservative woman and she’ll tell you that the Liberals do not and will not ever represent her.

Next is the minority Conservative. The fact that Mr. Herman Cain is the front runner for the Republican Nomination for President of the United States of America has Liberals beside themselves on how to demonize this man for going against what they believe a “good black man” should do. How dare a black man step out of line and think for himself and form his own ideas of what makes this nation great. How dare a black man steps out of line and becomes a success and then decides to run against their party for President. They feel Mr. Cain should get back in line and not ruffle the feathers of the status quo. They do not want to see this because it removes their ability to call all Conservatives racist. Herman Cain is breaking ground and making history like no other person this nation has ever seen. Not because of the color of his skin, but truly the content of his character and the beliefs and values he holds in his heart. The only thing the Liberals have left is to call him names and hope they stick.

The next thing is the biggest problem the Liberals face. It is the very reason their name calling cannot stick to the women or minority Conservative. This problem is the colorblind voter. That’s right it’s truly not about race over on the Conservative side, it is truly about the values we share and the direction we feel the nation needs to go. The Liberals will call Conservatives racist all day long, but the problem is that it has never been about race. We all share the commonality that we are all Americans. We want to see this nation succeed and we wont vote based on what we see, but we will vote on what we know. We are every race. We are man and woman. We are young and old. We have a value system that is grounded in our belief of God, self, and the greatest nation in the world.

You see this use of name calling is a distraction and fear tactic. It does not bring us to anger because we know the truth and we know the truth will be revealed. Time and time again, we have seen the people of this nation coming together for common goods not based on differences, but based on our commonalities. As Krista Branch sang ,”We are America, One voice united we stand!”

The Prince and the Pundits ~ Oh and The People

2011-10-13T12:59:00.000-07:00

The Prince and The Pundits

Oh and The People

by J C Anger

There’s this mentality contained within political circles that there is a set precedence on who will be the “next in line” to become a political party’s candidate. This mentality has rung true and been force fed to the general public for years. It’s been assumed that if the pundits say that it is true then the general population is suppose to just shut up and accept it as true. The general population is not to have a mind of their own, but they are just to go along with what they are told. This mind set has now come under attack and the pundits are doing everything they can to stop the people from thinking for themselves. That brings me to today’s story. This is a story that is being played out right now and I hope you enjoy it.

Once upon a time there was a Prince. Now he wasn’t a Prince because he was born into the position and it’s in his blood, he was a Prince because he was chosen. You see he was considered the next in line because he waited his turn behind the last person who was picked as prince. This Prince had been waiting for years to assume his position, so he remained low and didn’t try and ruffle any feathers with the people who were suppose to choose him as Prince.

You see this Prince had the backing of the Pundits. The Pundits were a powerful group of people who felt it was their right to pick and choose the next Prince. They had planned for the people to anoint the Prince and not look anywhere else. They had been looking at this moment for years and according to them everything was in the correct placement. It has been three long years since the people chose the current Prince who was failing in his position and the Pundits felt that it was now time for the people to back their Prince.

But the people found the Pundits’ Prince to be a bit uneasy. The people felt that the Prince was not going to be the right person to turn around the current Prince’s following. So the Pundits had an idea. Let’s show them another potential Prince so that we can still control the final result. Both Princes would keep the way it should be better than anyone else and the Pundits would still be in the control.

But while the Pundits were building up their two princes a voice emerged from the people. This Pauper came up and started to relate to the people. The Pauper was seen as a man who could relate to the problems of today. He defined the problems and gave solutions. The people began to think for themselves. The people saw the Pauper as a way for them to gain control away from the Pundits. The people actually saw hope to solve the failures of the current Prince.

The Pundits did not like the idea of the people having a Pauper arise from their population to take control so they planned to silence the Pauper’s voice. First they told their media contacts to cover only their two princes. They would attempt to make the people think that these two princes are the only people who can lead. The Pundits sent their spokesmen out and tried to build only their two princes.

Then one day the princes got together with the Pauper and everyone got to hear all of them together.

The Replacement Prince failed miserably and was no longer relegated to being a Prince.

The Original Prince sounded just like the Pundits wanted him to, which didn’t relate that well to the people.

The Pauper spoke with a fire in his belly and desire in his heart and instantly touched the people where they are.

Suddenly the Pundits saw their control dissolving. The people started learning and listening for themselves. They found in the Pauper to be a real person who came from their own ranks. They started to back the Pauper, because the Pauper had their back. They were enjoying someone they could understand and it made the Pundits mad in fear.

So the Pundits came up with the idea of attacking the Pauper and his ideas. Attack after attack was sent towards the Pauper, and time after time the Pauper held strong. People saw someone with confidence who knew how to lead. The backing became stronger and stronger until the Pundits had control no more.

The people’s voice was heard and the people were free to think for themselves once again.

I hope you enjoyed this story. As you can see this story is the reality we are facing today. The political elite pundits do not want you to vote for someone who came from your ranks. They do not want you to vote for someone who does not fit their mold. They had your choice ready for you to pick and expected you to not choose for yourself. I’m tired of having to settle for people I do not believe in. I believe in Herman Cain and I believe he is the one who represents the real everyday person. I do not believe that we should be force fed a candidate and be expected to live with it. I do not choose who the pundits what me to choose, and I believe each of you should do the same. We can make a statement by placing our own candidate in the White House. I stand for Herman Cain, because Herman Cain stands for me.

Caring to Engage

Meeting Herman Cain

By J C Anger

It’s been a few days and It’s finally hit me, “My family talked to the next President of the United States of America!” Yes, I will be so bold to say that Herman Cain will be the next President of the United States and it doesn’t come from all of these months watching him rise in the polls. The reason I believe Herman Cain will be the next President of the United States, happened on Sunday, 9 October 2011 behind the Books-a-million in Rock Hill, South Carolina.

I have been working as a North Carolina state leader for some time with the citizen’s movement to get Mr. Cain elected President in 2012. I had heard that he was going to be in Rock Hill on the previous Friday and didn’t think much of it. I placed it in the back of my head as it seemed that his appearance was going to interfere with church. So I thought nothing of it.

When Sunday came I went to look at the exact times that Mr. Cain was going to be in Rock Hill. It seemed that he was going to be gone by the time that church was out. We had service and my middle daughter went to a friends house. I looked at the clock and then had a wild hair. I decided to try and get to Rock Hill to see if we could see Herman Cain in person.

The drive was a lot longer than I thought. We got to Rock Hill and promptly got lost. We drove through Rock Hill and I decided not to go back the same way I came. I thought I missed seeing Mr. Cain. As I drove I saw over the horizon Books-a-million. My wife said let’s see if they’re still there. Much to my surprise I found out that he had not even arrived yet. There were people there for over and hour waiting. Hundreds has lined up to see the man they thought could be the next President.

My family decided to go one way and then I had a thought. Maybe I could hand out information and sign people up to volunteer. It was a plan that I thought would work just fine. I started to get a few people to sign on. Then it was near time for the bus to arrive. I went behind the building with the press and I actually got to meet J. D Gordon, Mr. Cain’s Vice President of Communications and Foreign Policy and Security Advisor (now that’s a mouth full). He is a top notch individual and a truly awesome addition to an already great campaign staff.

During Mr. Cain’s book signing I continued to take names, hand out information, and sign people up. I felt awesome helping out Herman on the outside. There were so many people who were excited about the idea of getting Herman in and getting Obama out of the White House. There were also people who were looking into Herman hoping to learn more about the person who is Candidate Cain.

Mr. Cain finished pretty quickly and I went behind the store. I did get to shake Mr. Cain’s hand and introduce myself. He has the most firm hand shake I have ever felt. I thought to myself, ‘this man is pure confidence’. I saw that Mr. Cain was going to do a TV interview so I went to grab the family. I asked them if they wanted to meet Mr. Cain and my oldest daughter exclaimed, “YES!”

We went to the back and I went up and talked to Mr. Gordon and he told me to wait and he’d let me introduce my family to Mr. Cain. My wife thought we were not suppose to be back there, but I ensured her we had permission. We waited and Mr. Cain finished the interview and then went to the bus. I thought we had missed the chance, but then Mr. Cain stopped and purposefully returned to greet my family.

What happened next proved to me that this man is going to be the next President. He took the time to engage each member of my family. From me it was to my ten month old son. Mr. Cain was smitten that little JoJo was smiling at him. Herman exclaimed, “He’s smiling!” It warmed mine and my wife’s heart that he took time to notice even the smallest of child. Then he shook my ten year old daughter’s and five year old daughter’s hands. I also introduce my wife and then Mr. Cain started a conversation with my oldest daughter. He asked how old she was. She responded, “Almost eleven.” I mentioned to Mr. Cain that she wrote a paper for class about 9-9-9. He exclaimed, “It’s so simple an eleven year old can figure it out!” He thanked us for our support and made sure he said goodbye to JoJo. How awesome was it that this man who is running to be the next leader of the free world would take the time out and engage my entire family.

It was that meeting that made me realize that there is something different about this man compared to those who preceded him. Mr. Cain can relate to the everyday person. He cared enough to take time out of his super busy schedule to greet us and say thanks. He displayed something that most politicians today do not have and that’s the ability to be true and real in the eyes of the everyday person. His ability to engage and relate to us spoke volumes of the President he will become. He does truly care and he will not let this nation fail. His oldest grandchild was born one year before my oldest daughter, so I know he will not let them down.

The Cain Train Builds Steam

Herman Cain leads Mitt Romney by 10 points in Iowa Caucus poll
Republican caucus attendees (37 percent) said they would choose Cain, while just over a quarter (27 percent) said they would choose Romney.
Cain tops field again in Nevada GOP straw poll
Cain wins 31 percent of the vote and Mr. Romney pulled in nearly 29 percent of the vote
Cain wins big in South Carolina tea party straw poll

Cain captured an eye-popping 55% of the vote. His closest challenger, former House Speaker Newt Gingrich, picked up 14.5%. Minnesota Rep. Michele Bachmann garnered 8% to come in third.

Cain Way Ahead of GOP Field

A new Economist/YouGov poll finds Herman Cain leading the Republican presidential field with 33%, followed by Mitt Romney at 18%, Rick Perry at 10%, Newt Gingrich at 9%, Ron Paul at 7%, Jon Huntsman at 4% and Michele Bachmann at 3%.

From the PPP~ 10/12/11

Cain leads nationally

"Yesterday PPP released numbers showing Herman Cain leading Mitt Romney 30-22 in Iowa and our monthly look at the national picture finds the exact same numbers. Cain is up 30-22 on Romney with Newt Gingrich sneaking past Rick Perry for 3rd place at 15% to Perry's 14% with Michele Bachmann and Ron Paul tied for 5th at 5%, Jon Huntsman 7th at 2%, Rick Santorum 8th at 1%, and Gary Johnson 9th with less than 1%.

Strong Tea Party support has Cain in the driver's seat nationally, just as he has been on our last four individual state polls. With non-Tea Party Republicans Romney actually leads Cain 29-27. But with the Tea Party crowd Cain is getting 39% with Gingrich at 16%, Perry at 14%, and Romney in 4th place at 13%. Romney doesn't need to win the Tea Partiers to be the Republican nominee. But he does need to finish better than 4th with them."

NBC/WSJ poll: Cain now leads GOP pack

“He isn’t a politician”

Cain’s numbers are sky-high among Republican primary voters. Fifty-two percent view him favorably, versus just 6 percent who see him unfavorably. Among Tea Party supporters, his favorable/unfavorable score is 69 percent to 5 percent. And among Republicans who identify themselves as “very conservative,” it’s 72 percent to 2 percent.

In follow-up interviews with respondents supporting Cain, they argue that he’s not a politician, and that he seems real. “He has common-sense answers and is in touch with the heartbeat of America,” said one respondent, a 46-year-old male from Florida.

“Cain gives direct answers. He is succinct. He isn’t a politician,” answered another who’s a 56-year-old male from Washington

The Republican Nomination Race: Romney, Cain Move to the Top

September 28-October 2, 2011

• Mitt Romney and Herman Cain are now the leading preferences of Republican primary

voters nationwide, followed by Rick Perry. But this is still a very fluid race; threequarters say they could still change their minds.

• Tea Party backers have shifted this race: they’ve now thrown more support behind

Herman Cain, pushing him up into a first-place tie, and away from former frontrunner

Rick Perry.

"The people vs. The experts"

By ~ Rosalinda Robles -Kilmer

I’m completely fed up with the pathetic, baseless commentsmade by media personalities, like A.B. Stoddard of The Hill, who continue tosay that Mr. Cain is not running a serious campaign because he’s on a book tour.Then I heard an Iowa GOP establishment crony, Doug Gross state that Herman Caincouldn’t be taken seriously as a potential winner for the Iowa straw pollbecause, “ He doesn't have an organization here. He's selling books and makingmoney off running for President. I think it's pretty disgusting.” Well, enoughis enough!

Mr. Cain, is a man of incredible integrity, and he wouldNEVER ask average citizens to give up their hard earned cash, in this tougheconomy, to support his campaign, just to sell books. He wouldn’t ask hissupporters to waste hours of their lives to help him increase his name ID andspread his message of common-sense solutions to get himself a TV show. Hewouldn’t give up spending time with his wife, and work over 12 grueling hours aday because he likes being followed by adoring fans.

Herman Cain is a serious man with ambitious goals because heloves this country and wants to help restore its greatness and get it back onto a path of inspirational success. He is wisely using the book tour toincrease his name ID and fan the flame of enthusiasm for his candidacy. Hedoesn't have a large "paid" organization because he is relying ongrassroots "bottoms up" efforts to help him reach the White House andstretch his campaign dollars further.

These frequent comments by clueless, out-of-touch pundits arenothing more than uninformed speculations and pathetic attacks fromestablishment elitists who don't like that the people are choosing forthemselves. They don’t understand that the people don’t care about candidates havingthe biggest monetary war chest or political experience in a failed system. Theydo care about, however, about someone who brings leadership qualities, is proudof promoting conservative principles, offers good ideas to solve our manyproblems, and does it with abundant optimism and a great love for this country.

So the next time you hear that Mr. Cain isn’t seriousbecause he hasn’t camped out in Iowa or New Hampshire, just remember that Mr.Cain and his campaign manager, Mark Block, have always said that they arerunning a “50 state” campaign. They are running an unconventional campaign, foran unconventional candidate, who is going to proudly discredit every political“expert.”

The Antidote to Hopelessness and Despair

2011-10-09T23:00:00.000-07:00

TheAntidote to Hopelessness and Despair

Whatdo Margaret Thatcher, Herman Cain, and the movie, The Book of Eli, have in common?

Staywith me and let me explain.

Inthe movie, The Book of Eli, Eli (Denzel Washington) is a lone black man in a white man’spost-apocalyptic world. Though he cannot see those around him, he isnot blind to the truth. He walksthroughout the land on a journey to deliver the one antidote to thehopelessness and despair that infects the people, turning them into brainwashedzombies in the service of Carnegie (GaryOldman). The antidote, The Book of Eli, is the lone survivingBible known to man. Committing it tomemory by reading it every day, Eli is able to walk by faith, not by sight, forhe knows the power of its message. Ifyou’re looking for a great bible study using this concept, clickhere.

The Book of Eli came to mind as I thought of twoleaders, both of whom stood up against those who threatened them because oftheir message. And, both were firsts intheir own rights as leaders of a conservative, limited government message.

Margaret Thatcher

The first is Margaret Thatcher. Known as the “Iron Lady,” she was the first(and so far only) female British Prime Minister. I had the privilege of meeting her when, as astudent studying in Englandin 1978, I went to visit Parliament in London. I attended University in Grantham, Lincolnshire, which wasin her district. At the time, she hadnot yet been elected Prime Minister.

Whenshe ran for the office, just about every labor union in England was onstrike. Determined, and some said,strident, she set out to revolutionize the economy. She declared that the idea of nationalization,deficit spending, central control, and too much regulation had to end. She cut government spending, subsidies tobusiness, and slashed government red tape.

She oncesaid:

Although364 economists wrote to the Times and said, "This is outrageous;you'll put us into a deep depression from a recession," 364 were wrong,and the half dozen who supported us were right.

And those who urge us to relax the squeeze, to spend yet more moneyindiscriminately in the belief that we'll help the unemployed and the smallbusinessman, are not being kind or compassionate or caring. I have only onething to say: U-turn if you want to. The lady's not for turning.

Thatcher had to deal with a bunch ofbrainwashed zombies in her country that bought into the lie that they werepowerless to help themselves. Theyhad bought the lie that only governmentcould solve their problems. They wereblind to the truth. And when presentedwith the truth, like the power hungry who could “see” in the movie The Book ofEli, they could not grasp the truth.

Here is alink to a video clip about the struggles she faced as she faced from the PBSdocumentary, The Commanding Heights

http://www.pbs.org/perl/media.cgir?t=w&f=commandingheights/mini_p01_15_220.wmv&extn=.asx

Herman Cain

Thesecond is Herman Cain. If electedpresident, he will be the first AMERICAN Black president – Barack Obama,because his father was from Kenya,was the first African-American President.

Inrecent days, Herman Cain has stood up to both Lawrence O’Donnell and the OccupyWall Street crowd. He’s not been afraidto question who is funding them, and what the motives of those people behindthe scenes are. And, he’s talked aboutwhat is needed with regard to getting out of the problems Americans face. It’s the same antidote Margaret Thatcherproclaimed. To see a clip of Cain’scomments on this, see

In the movie, TheBook of Eli, Eli needed to remain steadfast, because he carried a messageof hope that would free the brainwashed zombies of a post-apocalyptic America fromthe hopelessness and despair that enslaved them. Margaret Thatcher became known as “The IronLady” because she stood steadfast against the attacks of the trade unions todeliver the antidote to hopelessness and despair that gripped England in theearly 1980s.

.
            Herman Cain carries the same message of hope to thebrainwashed zombies of our nation that Thatcher carried to hers. His is a message of rolling up one’s sleevesand getting to work. But he can’t do it byhimself.

            There are still men and women in this nation who are notbrainwashed zombies. We, The People, needto help spread the antidote to the hopelessness and despair the “Occupy WallStreet” people are complaining about. They need the antidote Mr. Cain has prescribed to restore faith,family and the American work ethic.

Nowis the time to make your voice heard, and let Mr. Cain know you’ve “got hisback.”

S-I-N Tactics

A User’s Guide for Getting Through the Smoke and Mirrors of Campaign Politics

by J C Anger

S-hift the subject or blame

I-gnore the facts presented

N-ame calling

For those of you who have never been introduced to S-I-N tactics, it is a very common tool used when someone knows they cannot win a debate. Sin tactics are in essence a damage control device that is used in hopes that you will not recognize a particular blunder that someone has made, especially within the political establishment. It is used by either side of the aisle in politics to include Independents. It has been used for years to try and hide or exploit certain things to gain favor for others. In this write-up I’m hoping to educate you on what to look for in recognizing S-I-N tactics.

Let’s start with the ‘S’.

The ‘S’ stands for “Shift the Subject or Blame”. This is a common tool when one is loosing a debate to try and confuse those who are watching the debate. It often happens when issues that have been resolved in the past are brought up as if they are new subjects. Pay attention to the time frame from the reference of the issue and see how the subject of the issue responds. If there is a clear response for the issue at hand this could mean that it was resolved quite awhile ago. If there is no response or no need for a response, once again look up archives to see if this was an old issue that was resolved. If the subject of the issue is defensive towards the issue, then maybe there might be something to the issue. This tactic can also come in the form of bringing up a non-issue. Non-issues are issues that have no true bearing on the course of the debate or the future impact if a candidate becomes elected. They often tie in with name calling and can be easily identified if they would fit well in a story in any gossip magazine. Ask yourself if this really matters and if it doesn’t it’s usually tied in with this tactic. Take the time to look and see the intent of an article in order to weed through those which are attempting to distract you away from the important issues.

Next we look at the ‘I’.

The ‘I’ stands for “Ignore the Facts Presented”. The sole purpose for this tactic is to bring you back to tactic ‘S’. When you see a story that is totally negative about an individual’s proposed plans or ideas, it is meant to distract you from the actual facts that are contained within these plans or ideas. Take the time to look up alternative aspects of the plans or ideas that have been put forward. Is the author of the piece which is condemning the plan or idea an expert in the particular field they are addressing? If they are not, they are using this tactic. Is the author of the piece a member of an opposing campaign or point of view? If they are they potentially are using this tactic. Are there experts who are giving facts or opinions supporting a particular plan or idea? If so, the attack piece is almost definitely a writing that has ignored the facts. When a piece tries to ignore the facts, it attempts to distract you from what those facts are. Take the time to research for yourself what people are saying, especially the experts.

Last let’s look at one of the most common tactic which is the ‘N’.

The ‘N’ stands for “Name Calling”. Name calling exists when an individual uses their platform to either take what a candidate says and shift it slightly to vilify that candidate or attempt to categorize the supporters of a particular candidate into a group that is traditionally unfavorable or offensive to the general public. When you hear words like racist, bigot, Uncle Tom, or the like, you are probably dealing with a case of this tactic. This tactic attempts to distract you from the real issues in order to use your emotions against an individual or group of people. The measure of this tactic is that 'if the facts don’t match the name, then the ‘N’ tactic is in play'. Look over exactly what an individual says before you listen to the name that is labeled on that individual. Look at the history and actions of a group before you believe a label that is placed on them. This tactic is used especially when a message is truly resonating with the general public. The more an individual makes sense and give solutions that people can relate to, the more they and their supporters will be called names. Take the time to see if the message a candidate is giving is making sense to the people and then see if they are being called every name under the sun. If they are then it is an easily identifiable use of this tactic.

So the basic question comes up, “How do I best recognize the use of S-I-N tactics?”

The best way to recognize S-I-N tactics is to do your own research. When you think for yourself and take into account the facts, then you will be best equipped to handle the use of S-I-N tactics.

When you recognize a S-I-N tactic, try your best to ignore it and move on. If you try and engage the use of a S-I-N tactic, then you could be caught in the smear, and that distraction is the very purpose of the tactics.

If needed, post a counter truth, then move on and let the truth set others free. You see the one thing that defeats S-I-N tactics every time is truth. S-I-N tactics are created to pull us away from or distort the truth. When truth is injected into a S-I-N discussion, the S-I-N tactic looses it’s control over the situation and people can see the light.

Stay above the mudslinging. If you bring forth the truth, just allow the truth to do its work. If someone comes back and starts calling you names, like they say in Twitter, “ban and report”. Do not retaliate to a name call because it distracts from the truth and brings you down to their level by using the ‘N’ tactic.

This was just touching the surface of S-I-N tactics. I could go into it much further and show you examples but I want you to learn to recognize and react to these tactics on your own. I want you to be able to think for yourselves and try and figure out when S-I-N tactics are being used and when they are not. You will hear a lot about people during the campaign season. It’s my desire that you take the time and ask yourself the important questions and find the issues that effect you and this nation the most. I hope that this article allows you to see past the smoke and mirrors which are S-I-N tactics in order to form your own opinions on those issues. Stay informed. Stay inspired. Stay involved.

Herman Cain doesn’t hold a grudge against America

Herman Cain doesn’t hold a grudge against America

by Aaron Reale

We currently have a President who is angry; angry at what America is and what it stands for. It seems that almost every single day we see or hear Barack Obama say things that prove this point ever so clearly. From his arguments that it is the rich who are holding down the middle class and the poor, to his statements that Conservatives cling to their guns and religion, not to mention his absolute disgust for America’s Constitution. Let’s not forget what Obama said in 2001 when he lamented:

“But, the Supreme Court never ventured into the issues of redistribution of wealth, and of more basic issues such as political and economic justice in society. To that extent, as radical as I think people try to characterize the Warren Court, it wasn’t that radical. It didn’t break free from the essential constraints that were placed by the founding fathers in the Constitution, at least as its been interpreted and Warren Court interpreted in the same way, that generally the Constitution is a charter of negative liberties. Says what the states can’t do to you. Says what the Federal government can’t do to you, but doesn’t say what the Federal government or State government must do on your behalf, and that hasn’t shifted and one of the, I think, tragedies of the civil rights movement was, um, because the civil rights movement became so court focused I think there was a tendency to lose track of the political and community organizing and activities on the ground that are able to put together the actual coalition of powers through which you bring about redistributive change. In some ways we still suffer from that…”

And let’s not forget Barack’s wife Michelle, another angry member of the White House who has said:

“For the first time in my adult lifetime, I’m really proud of my country, and not just because Barack has done well, but because I think people are hungry for change.”

And

…life is not good: we’re a divided country, we’re a country that is “just downright mean,” we are “guided by fear,” we’re a nation of cynics, sloths, and complacents.

What is so surprising about the anger at their country is that neither Obama really has anything to be angry about. Barack went to Harvard, was a lawyer, a professor, and a senator, and Michelle also attended Harvard, as well as Princeton University. Our only insight into why the Obama’s might be so angry at their country is the company they used to keep, a list which includes: Radical Reverend Jeremiah Wright, Un-repentant terrorist’s William Ayres and Bernadine Dohrn, as well as his “Marxist professors and (the) structural feminists” (Barack Obama, “The Audacity of Hope”)

The Obama’s have no reason to be angry at America, and yet they are; Herman Cain on the other hand has every reason to be angry at America and yet he is not…let’s have Mr. Cain explain:

“When I was growing up we didn’t have a lot of money, I can remember my dad could only give my brother and me money to eat in the school cafeteria one day a week, on Fridays, and it was 25 cents…my mom was a maid, my dad was a barber, a janitor, and a chauffeur. Dad never complained or played the victim card, he was thankful that he had the health to be able to work three jobs…my mom used to go to the bargain basement of the downtown department store, that’s what we could afford. So my mom’s downtown this time with my brother and I; I was about seven, he was about six, and so there weren’t a lot of people in there so my brother and I said “Mom, can we go get a drink of water?” And you had to go over to where the water fountain was. There was one on the left, and there was a sign over it that said “White”, there’s a sign over the other one that said “Color.” And so my mom said to us: “Now, you boys make sure y’all go to the “color” fountain”, we said “Ok mom”, so we get over to the fountain, my brother and I, and we look around, there wasn’t a lot of people there, and I said to my brother; “You go first.” He tasted the “white water”, and then we looked around and he said “Your turn.”

“I tasted the white water, and then we both tasted the color water, and we looked at each other, six and seven years old: the water tastes the same! What’s the big deal? We had not been taught segregation at the age of six and seven; we wondered what the big deal was about.”

“Now that being said, and growing up in the segregated south, I am not mad at America! I don’t have a grudge against America! Because one of the things that has made this nation great, in its short two-hundred and thirty-five year history, is its ability to change. A lot of other countries don’t have that ability. We ought to be appreciative of the fact that this country has that kind of resilience.” (Hannity, 10/3/11)

This is what is so amazing about Herman Cain; he grew up in the segregated south, in a very racist and discriminatory culture. He grew up in poverty, with a father struggling to provide for his family. If anyone’s early life has been unfair at all, it’s Herman Cain’s! But he is not angry; he is not holding a grudge. Even though America treated him and his family as second class citizens during his formative years, he still loves what America is and its ability to change. What a great mindset, what a great man. Barack and Michelle Obama can’t claim this discrimination, the Obama’s can’t claim such hardship as Herman Cain has experienced, and yet they are mad, they are angry, and they are forcing their anger on all of us. Not Herman Cain, he isn’t angry, even though he has every right to be, instead he holds firm to a love for this country that should inspire every American. God Bless you Herman Cain, and Godspeed you towards the White House in 2012.

The 9-9-9 Solution

2011-10-03T20:13:00.000-07:00

The 9-9-9 Solution

By Renata Anger (Age 10)

Today in America we are facing an economic crisis. With a national debt of fourteen and a half trillion dollars, we need a problem solver and that problem solver is Herman Cain! Herman Cain’s solution for the economic crisis is the 9-9-9 plan. The 9-9-9 plan replaces the current tax system with a nine percent business flat tax, a nine percent individual flat tax and a nine percent national sales tax on new goods. A money expert says that the 9-9-9 plan would get rid of the national debt in only nine years. If Herman Cain becomes President, there will no longer be a crisis in America!

Obamacare – Playing with Their Lives

2011-10-03T18:30:00.000-07:00

Obamacare – Playing with Their Lives

By J C Anger

During the Fox News/Google GOP Debate there was one moment that stole the show. Chris Wallace asked Mr. Herman Cain the following question, “you say if Obamacare had been in effect when you where first being treated, you would be dead now. Why?” What came next was one of the greatest moments in Presidential debate history. As Mr. Cain sculpted the scenario of how he had a personal time line that needed to be followed exactly at his pace of treatment and how if he was under Obamacare, the bureaucrats would have made those choices and it would have prolonged the treatment. In essence it was due to the timeliness of his personal timeline that his doctors accredit his survival. It was the moment of the debate that set the stage for Mr. Cain winning the debate, the straw poll, and for having an incredible surge over the next week and beyond.

A few days later a website called politifact rated this moment under their “truth-o-meter” as a “pants on fire” lie! What this site said was that bureaucrats have no say in the patient care process. This was based on what was supposedly “in” the health care law’s statutes as written. But was politifact’s assumption true in the real world or was it true under just what they assumed the legislation stated?

I didn’t think that this was going to be mine to answer as even though I work for the Federal government, I believed I had no say in this matter as I was covered by my own choice of insurance. The only thing I knew about Obamacare was that it helped increase my health insurance about 150% and made the cost of care for me and my family in the private sector near impossible. Our greatest health prevention is the fact that we are in prayer to God about keeping us healthy so we wont need to use what we near can’t afford.

All this seemed true until one night when I was invited to attend a meeting of the Young Republican’s of Gaston County to give views on Herman Cain. I pressed on the economic solutions of the 9-9-9 plan. Went into the Chilean Model for saving the Social Security system and then I found myself talking about the subject that won the debate which was health care. I told of Herman’s story and that’s when the night really took on a whole new and personal meaning.

One by one each of the people there told me of their Obamacare nightmare stories, some of which they were living today. With the bureaucrats, yes I said bureaucrats, running patient timelines and the type of tests they were to have it became very clear to me that this wasn’t a health care plan as much as it was a way the administration could play with people’s lives. Their stories were real and in many cases dealt with life and death scenarios. What this night was showing me, was the only one with a “pants on fire” lie were the so-called experts at politifact.

I ask you to pray for each of the people who were there that night. From the kidney transplant that was controlled 100% by bureaucrats stating, ‘you either do it on this day or the whole transplant is off’, to the brother with stage 3 cancer who’s worried about the next time the bureaucrats will schedule and allow him to have treatment, to the young woman who was in a car accident a year ago and sent home with a collar and to this date has not had an MRI (with no MRI scheduled in the near future), keep each of these families in your prayers. We need to free them from this trap that they have been placed in so that they can truly receive the care they need.

I thought I was done there but in my personal experience I learned something the next day that was quite alarming. Obamacare may be affecting our Active Duty troops who are in remote locations indirectly. You see the bureaucratic procedures associated with Obamacare is now being placed on our Soldiers who are in locations where a military post is not available to them. I was talking to a young lady who is now waiting for the bureaucratic process to take place so that she can receive treatment for a chronic condition that has been plaguing her for years. Since she moved away from a military post she now has to wait for the slow process of determining when she can receive treatment and what kind of treatment she can have. She has been waiting for weeks. Is this a way to treat the men and women in uniform?

Whether direct or indirect, Obamacare has turned the medical system into a game of playing with people’s lives. When Herman Cain said he would have been dead under Obamacare, he wasn’t lying. The people I’ve talked to have proved this as fact no matter what political think tank wants to tell you otherwise. When we elect Herman Cain President in 2012, we will see an end to this game and we will see people once again taking charge of their own lives and their own health care.

Resorting to the Non-issues

2011-10-03T13:05:00.000-07:00

Resorting to the Non-issues

by J C Anger

There’s a common tactic used in politics, that when someone has such sound ideas you cannot argue with them, resort to name calling and distractions. Thus is the time we find ourselves in today. With an incredible surge in name recognition and in popularity because of that name recognition, Herman Cain has found himself the target of people claiming this and that, even though this and that have no baring on the future of this nation and the common sense solutions Mr. Cain has put before America. It truly is a matter of attacking and distracting because you do not know how to defend against the message that is resonating with people.

I will not go into the non-issues that are being pushed against Mr. Cain because they don’t deserve the light of day. What I do want to concentrate on are two facts that are coming to light as this surge continues. First fact is that the people matter more than the main stream media. The surge that Herman Cain is receiving is from a dedicated citizen’s movement that has never before bee seen in the political arena during the modern day of media. The second thing is message is more powerful that money. Once again this historic surge is not because Mr. Cain is spending money and going in debt like other candidates have done and continue to do, it’s because of the common sense solutions that are being put before the people who hear them and they understand them.

Main stream media is the core of the distraction part of the non-issue equation. They attempt to deflect the solutions by bringing up situations that create opinions to come forward. Once the opinions come forward, the main stream media attempts to swarm the airwaves with this distraction to the point it seems relevant. They attempt to overtake any citizen momentum that is built up in order to control the conversation. The only problem with this is that due to the current environment the nations finds itself in, the people are caring more about the solutions than these distractions. This makes the citizens far more important than anything the main stream media can create.

The presence of cyber-media is also a large part of the citizen’s movement. People have the medium of finding alternative views from the media spin that usually attempts to distract people from what really matter, which are solutions to problems. The cyber-media is mainly made up of citizens itself. The cyber-media gives opinions on issues versus distractions. The cyber-media is growing at such a rate that it allows people to shuffle through the static created by the main stream media, and find out what the solutions are. When people finally find the common sense solutions that Herman Cain brings, it’s pretty easy to avoid the distractions that the main stream media is trying to force feed us. This is another reason in the surge of importance of the people versus the decline of importance in the main stream media.

Next it is very common for people to name call if they cannot successfully defend their position in a logical argument. This action attempts to place a label on an individual, thus pulling the focus away from the argument of the solutions and placing it into painting a picture of an individual who now holds a title of being a “whatever”. This attempts to play on the emotion of individuals and expects those individuals who are listening to “not think for themselves” and instead “listen to what I am saying” without getting a full picture of what was truly said or done. This in essence attempts to control someone’s thoughts without allowing them to gain all the facts of the situation (brainwashing). But the problem in today’s environment is that people have found that it’s more important to listen to the solutions rather than be distracted by baseless rhetoric. Herman Cain’s message has been resonating far louder than any label or name they can place on him because first and foremost he is a problem solver.

You see there are candidates who are spending so much money it makes it seem that they don’t care this nations is at over 9% unemployment and facing a debt over $14,000,000,000,000! Most candidates flock to few people and expect them to donate thousands, while Herman Cain has been going to thousands of people with the understanding that they are facing difficult times, and asking for whatever they can afford. Then the other candidates are spending money without concern of going very far in debt, while Mr. Cain has had concern of how to properly spend that which he has been given in a responsible way. This stewardship is resonating with the American people. It shows that the message can definitely overpower the money.

So let’s take our mental weed-whacker out and sift through this mess that is being thrown at us from all directions. Non-issues are being used at an alarming rate and those people with an attitude and a loud voice are grabbing the ear of the main stream media. They fear to go against Mr. Cain’s message because his message is that of being a success instead of being a victim. These so-called experts who are name calling and fear mongering cannot hold a candle to the fact that Mr. Cain’s solutions are based on the fact that he wants to see this nation and its people not just survive but thrive!

The fact that an independent cyber-media source has stated that at a minimum this nation would be out of debt in nine years if we implement Mr. Cain’s 9-9-9 plan. That’s going from over $14,000,000,000,000 to $0 in nine years! That’s the message that is resonating with people, not the name calling that is being hyped up with those who fear that they may have to face Herman Cain in 2012.

The fact that the Wall Street Journal said that Mr. Cain has it right on Social security with the Chilean Model that has worked for over 30 years is a testament to the fact that Mr. Cain is about solutions. While the other candidates debate over what they want to call it, Mr. Cain gives a solution. The solutions are louder than the rhetoric.

I could go on with example after example. The fact that this makes no sense to the main stream media, the political experts, and the opponents who Mr. Cain is facing does not matter in the focus of this debate. Instead what truly matters is the fact that Mr. Cain’s message is resonating louder than anything the experts or opponents want to sling forward as an issues. People are becoming less and less distracted with what the political pundits want the citizens “to hear” and they are becoming more and more focused on what “the message is telling them”.

This goes to show that message matters and so do the people! It’s time to drown out the noise and see why more and more people are looking at Herman Cain for the next President of the United States of America.

Racist if I do, Racist if I don’t!

2011-09-29T19:08:00.000-07:00

Racist if I do, Racist if I don’t!

By Aaron Reale

The left has some nerve; for the last two years we’ve been told that if we are against Obama, it must be for racial reasons (See Morgan Freeman calling the Tea Party racist earlier this month). But yesterday the attacks against us got even weirder when liberal pundit and not-so-funny woman Janeane Garofalo had the gall to say to another liberal not-so-funny man Keith Olbermann:

“Herman Cain is probably well liked by some of the Republicans because it hides the racist elements of the Republican Party, Conservative movement and tea party movement, one in the same…People like Karl Rove liked to keep the racism very covert. And so Herman Cain provides this great opportunity so you can say 'Look, this is not a racist, anti-immigrant, anti-female, anti-gay movement. Look we have a black man.'"

So let me get this straight; if I’m against Barack Obama, I’m a racist, and yet if I support Herman Cain…I’m still a racist. Well that makes sense! Let’s make something clear Ms. Garofalo, we do not support Herman Cain because we want to cover up our supposed Racism, we support him because of who he is! We have no problem with his or any other race. The other thing to note is that we don’t have to cover up our “anti-immigrant, anti-female, anti-gay movement” because once again, they don’t exist. Let’s look at Republicans true views and lets also look at some history shall we?

(Something the left LOVES to avoid)

In regards to the Republican Party being “anti-female”, let us remind Ms. Garofalo that two of the most prominent republicans are Sarah Palin and Michelle Bachmann, but then again, they are probably just a cover right? In that case let’s look at the issue of women’s suffrage and the passage of the 19th amendment.

Fordham University notes that in the Senate, the roll call was as follows:

FOR ADOPTION - 36.

Republicans - 36.

Capper, Cummins, Curtis, Edge, Elkins, Fall, Fernald, France, Frelinghuysen, Gronna, Hale, Harding, Johnson, (Cal.,) Jones, (Wash.,) Kellogg, Kenyon, Kayes, La Follette, Lenroot, McCormick, McCumber, McNaty, Nelson, New, Newberry, Norris, Page, Phipps, Poindexter, Sherman, Smoot, Spencer, Sterling, Sutherland, Warren, Watson.

Democrats - 20.

Ashurst, Chamberlain, Culberson, Harris, Henderson, Jones, (N. M.,) Kenrick, Kirby, McKellar, Myers, Nugent, Phelan, Pittman, Ransdell, Shepard, Smith, (Ariz.,) Stanley, Thomas, Walsh, (Mass.,) Walsh, (Mon.)

AGAINST ADOPTION - 25.

Republicans - 8.

Borah, Brandegee, Dillingham, Knox, Lodge, McLean, Moses, Wadsworth.

Democrats - 17.

Bankhead, Beckham, Dial, Fletcher, Gay, Harrison, Hitchcock, Overman, Reed, Simmons, Smith, (Md.,) Smith, (S. C.,) Swanson, Trammell, Underwood, Williams, Wolcott.

So in the Senate alone, more Republicans voted for the amendment than Democrats did, and more Democrats voted against it than Republicans did. In the House of Representatives, the amendment passed 304-89 vote, and I’d venture a guess that it was Republicans that made up the majority of that passing vote. The whole notion that Republicans are anti-female is historically inaccurate.

Next let’s look at Republicans being “anti-immigrant.” Are we? No, the Republican Party is very pro-immigrant, what we are against is illegal immigration, which in case you didn’t know Janeane is against the law. Republicans are the ones who are trying to protect our borders from illegal immigration and are constantly pushing the legal immigration method, in order to keep it fair for those who follow the rules, what’s more pro-immigrant than that?

The next charge was Republicans being “anti-gay”, this is again not true. There is no relevant branch of the Republican Party, Conservative Movement, or Tea Party that will discriminate against someone for being gay. What Republicans are against is not the person being homosexual, but rather giving special rights to people because they are homosexual. Republicans believe that homosexual marriage is a violation of the sanctity of marriage but will not go as far as to go out of their way to mistreat someone who is gay.

Finally there is the charge of supporting Herman Cain to cover up “our racism.” It is astonishing that Liberals can claim that the Republican Party is racist given that the history of the Republican Party is pro black, while it is the Democrat Party who has constantly supported racist measures. Let’s start with the Civil War; Abraham Lincoln the President at the time was a Republican and among other reasons fought the war to help free the slaves.

In regards to the Civil rights act of 1964, a majority of Republicans voted to pass the bill. Percentage wise, 80% Republicans in the House and 80% in the Senate voted to pass the Civil Rights Act, while only 61% of Democrats in the House and 63% in the Senate voted to pass the bill (One of the Democrats who voted against the bill was Al Gore’s father). Not to mention the fact that Martin Luther King Jr. was himself, a Republican.

So who is it that is really racist? History tells us that it is not the Republicans who hold the African-American race in contempt; it is they who are the ones who have done the most to put an end to racism in America. It is the Democrats on the other hand who have continued to try and keep blacks down, something they continue to do to this day (welfare) and in the process of doing so, are not only denying people their rights, but are also ruining any chance this country has left to recover. That is why we support Herman Cain, Ms. Garofalo, because we actually have no problem with having a black President, we just want one who actually knows what he is doing and will do what is best for this country.

Herman Cain was right when he said “African Americans have been brainwashed…” and its people like Janeane Garofalo who are the brainwashers. So shame on you Janeane for spreading your lies; but it doesn’t really matter, because no matter what you say, you can’t keep a good Cain down!

The Jim Crowe Agenda (Historic Perspective)

The Jim Crowe Agenda (Historic Perspective)

by J C Anger

As we have entered a new era of the American socioeconomic landscape a new dynamic is forming. That new dynamic is the emergence of strong conservative black Republicans such as Allen West, Tim Scott, and Herman Cain. They are masterful in their speech and show their character with such poise and honor that it’s hard not to be become involved with that they are saying. Their understanding of issues and solutions is unparalleled to anyone in the political sector. Yet their very existence garners an attack from the people who state to be the champions of historical Civil Rights by calling these good men nothing more than Jim Crowes. The attack of the Liberal left is so intense that at times you would expect one of their own to reel in the hate rhetoric. But they don’t. It is for that very fact that I decided to look into Jim Crowe and to truly see if the left wingers really have a leg to stand on.

Here are some gathered facts from my research with a special thanks to Wall Builders and Wikipedia:

Jim Crowe Timeline –

Booklet “Separate Schools for Whites and Colored with Equal Advantages; Mixed Schools Never!” was distributed 1872 by Congressman James Harper, Democrat, NC

Passage of Civil Rights Act of 1875 – Championed by Senator Charles Sumner, Republican, MA and Congressman Benjamin Franklin Butler, Republican, MA

Jim Crowe Laws enacted by the Redeemers 1877, Southern Democrat group of Governors which enacted state level segregation which nullified the 1875 act

1954 – 100 Democrats in Congress passed the “Southern Manifesto”, denouncing the Supreme Court decision of Brown v. the Board of Education stating desegregation was, “certain to destroy the system of public education” and called “explosive and dangerous conditions created by this decision”

1954 – Georgia Governor, Democrat Herman Talmadge issued a promise that Georgia schools “will never be mixed schools while I am Governor”

1954 – Mississippi Governor, Democrat James Coleman on “Meet the Press” stated, “I would say that a baby born in Mississippi today will never live long enough to see an integrated school”

1956 – Texas Governor, Democrat Allan Shivers deployed the Texas Rangers to keep blacks from entering public schools in Mansfield

1957 – Arkansas Governor, Democrat Orval Faubus called out the Arkansas National Guard to keep black students from entering Central High School in Little Rock, AK. Republican President Dwight D. Eisenhower intervened by federalizing the Guard and replacing them with 1,200 troops from the 101st Airborne Division to allow black student into school

Passage of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 – Championed by Senator Everett Dirksen , Republican, Illinois. Vote was passed in the Senate with 69% of Democrat support with 82% of Republican support and in the House of Representatives with 63% of Democrat support and 80% of Republican support

From this timeline we can see that there is a historic condition of racism that is imbedded in the Democratic Party. When they try and turn the issue of racism against the Republicans, they fail to mention the history of racism that has been so embraced by their own party that created and fought to keep Jim Crowe in place. It was only when they saw how successful class warfare worked in creating a voter block after the great depression that it clicked in their mind that they could do the same thing with the races. Therefore they attempted to use this to their advantage by distorting history as we know it.

There is an old adage that if you say something often enough and loud enough that eventually the people are going to believe it.

This is the only way that you can truly distort the historical significance of reality and truth. The Democrats have demonized the fringe of the Republicans in a way that they try and paint the entire of the Republican Party as a racist element that has always been trying to attack people of color. They have become so successful in this tactic that they have entire generations growing up voting Democrat because they don’t realize the truth of history and the reality of the way they are being used.

This is why heroes like Allen West, Tim Scott, and Herman Cain are so attacked. The fear that these Patriots will come forward and bring back the truth that is surrounded in history absolutely scares the Liberals to death. They fear that if these people are successful, then they will loose a large portion of the voting block that they believe they are controlling with their rhetoric. They feel they are the puppet masters and that a person like Herman Cain being elected President of the United States of America would cut the strings and set the puppets free. The balance of a Progressive’s world lies in the ability to control people and once the people think for themselves they loose all their power.

This is why it is so vital to educate people about the heritage for which they come from. It is vital that we do not waver from our support of Patriots such as Tim Scott, who understands the Conservative values of his heritage. We must stand for heroes like Allen West who sacrificed his time to defend our nation in a time of war before he took his place as the people’s choice in the House of Representatives. It is vital that we elect Herman Cain as our next President of the United States of America so that we can see an end to the political use of racism by those who have been historically racist.

I will end with the words of one of the greatest Civil Right’s spokesmen and registered Republicans

“I have a dream that my four little children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin but by the content of their character.”

From Liberals: "Obama Critics: If You're White, You're a Racist, If You're Black, You're an Uncle Tom/Sellout"

From Liberals: "Obama Critics: If You're White, You're a Racist, If You're Black, You're an Uncle Tom/Sellout"

by Talitha McEachin

After numerous recent and past conversations with those who identify themselves as both Obama supporters, Liberal and/or Democrat, I have found many constants, however, one of those is overwhelmingly & conspicuously apparent : If you criticize President Obama, Liberals or the DP and are White, you will be labeled a “racist”, and if you do the same and are Black, you are a “sellout”or an “Uncle Tom”. Most Liberals love to resort to name-calling when they are “cornered”with sound reasoning, logic and hard, objective evidence contrary to their arguments when debating Conservatives. They have no hard evidence themselves in most cases, to buttress their arguments, so that leaves them one of three choices: the first one is the Ad hominems or the name-calling (I've experienced it too many times) – basically, they launch a personal attack on their opponent rather than the opponent's argument. Secondly, they sometimes will argue back and forth to the point of ad nauseam, then when they can no longer come up with invalid arguments they will suddenly (out of nowhere) jump the DP/Liberal ship altogether and declare, “I'm an Independent.”Lastly, they submit to defeat and admit the strength of the Conservative argument. (Conservatives when debating Liberals, please do not hold your breath for the latter choice, we need your influence & your votes in the next election) This post is to address the first choice – the fallacious and unnecessary name-calling as it relates to the race of the target Conservatives.

I am convinced that the majority of Americans view many political & social occurrences through the prism of race, on either side. In this country, the primary sides are Black and White people. (I'm not disregarding the prevalence of other races or cultures but rather, I am being realistic about who mostly has issues with race in America for the purpose of this post.) As a friend of mine pointed out in a thread on Facebook:

"What a lot of people do not realize is that unfortunately, many Black liberals and the masses of Black people for that matter, will go against an organization that they do not understand just because it is predominantly white. If the majority of White people are in it and agree with it, then there must be something wrong with it. There are historical contexts that support this mistrust and suspicion. Institutional racism, the Tuskegee experiment, Scottsboro Boys – all of these things plus many more, have produced generations of mistrust in the Black community which is not easy to expunge."

So Black Liberals (many of you and your White sympathizers) I get it. You're still pi**ed off about the history of this country – slavery, the racism, the evil White man who did it all, as well as the greedy Africans who sold your ancestors into slavery right? Right? Hello...Liberals mad at the White man, US government for slavery & racism? (even though you are many generations removed from it for the most part) Oh well, a resounding echo on those Africans equally culpable. Darn. I thought we were about to make some progress over the historical context argument. I suppose you get to pick and choose which events to lament over rather than seeing all of the events in their cause and effect relationship, Mea Culpa.

Of course, there have been plenty of racist comments from black Conservatives regarding other blacks, Here are a few:

1. (Affect(ing) a black accent to recount San Francisco mayor Willie Brown asking) "Who is this "Emily List? She's supportin' all these people. She's supportin' Sen. Dianne Feinstein. She's supported Sen. Barbara Boxer....She supported everybody. Why won't she support me?"

2. "Some junior high n*gger kicked Steve's ass while he was trying to help his brothers out; junior high or sophomore in high school. Whatever it was, Steve had the n*gger down. However it was, it was Steve's fault. He had the n*gger down, he let him up. The n*gger blindsided him."

3."You'd find these potentates from down in Africa, you know, rather than eating each other, they'd just come up and get a good square meal in Geneva."

Of course, there are also racist statements from white Conservatives too (We can't forget the evil white man!)

4. "A handkerchief-head, chicken-and-biscuit-eating Uncle Tom.”

5."He's married to a white woman. He wants to be white. He wants a colorless society. He has no ethnic pride. He doesn't want to be black."

6."In the days of slavery, there were those slaves who lived on the plantation and [there] were those slaves that lived in the house. You got the privilege of living in the house if you served the master ... exactly the way the master intended to have you serve him. Colin Powell's committed to come into the house of the master. When Colin Powell dares to suggest something other than what the master wants to hear, he will be turned back out to pasture."

There you have it. Conservatives maybe the Liberals have a point after all. Here we have racist statements from black & white people among us and in a few cases directed against us. Maybe white Conservatives deserve to be called a racist after all, and the Black Conservatives should be called sellouts, Uncle Toms and racist as well. I mean, what respectful black Conservative person would call one of there own people the “N”word? And Why would a white Conservative be at all concerned with “house n*ggers”? Oh, mea culpa again, I have my quotes mixed up! Quotes 1-3 are from white liberals ( Hillary Clinton, Roger Clinton & Fritz Hollings – all White, Democrat & Liberal) Quotes 4-6 are from black liberals (Spike Lee on Clarence Thomas, California State Senator Diane Watson's on Ward Connerly's interracial marriage & Harry Belafonte – all Black, Democrat & Liberal) So my Liberals friends, are you going to label your party-mates racist too?

Now I know there are Liberals who will quickly say, “There are Conservatives who are racist and say racist things as well!” Here again, proving a prior post that you can never argue within the terms of the original arguments because that would involve you arguing against the racist quotes above and therefore your friends in the Democratic Party. Catch-22 isn't it? Not a fun dilemma to be in at all. It's a shame that many Liberals have either lost their ability to be objective or never developed that skill because for Conservatives it is invaluable, enabling us to praise or criticize one of our own, simply based on the facts, and not a person's race. That was the dream of Martin Luther King, Jr., a Republican, who prayed for a day when men would be judged by their character & not the color of his or her skin.

We utilize this objectivity when assessing President Obama's ability to transform this country socially & economically. This is a task which he has failed us – all of us Black, White, Hispanic, Asian and thank God some of us can see him outside of his “race” which by the way, my Liberal friends is both Black and White. So are white people racist for criticizing his Black half only? How do White Conservatives feel about his White half? (surely they couldn't be “racist”against his white half also.) What about the Black Conservatives who criticize him?, I guess you would argue that we are criticizing his Black half and in a love affair with his white half & are Uncle Toms and sellouts because of that. When you're done criticizing this piece (and when I'm done laughing), I'd like you to respond with your method of separating President Obama's two identities because you absolutely must separate Obama's halves in order for the racist, sellout & Uncle Tom charges to have any merit, you guys do know this right?

Lastly, here is the actual language of the name-calling. First of all a racist is “a person who believes in racism, the doctrine that a certain human race is superior to any or all others. This definition does not say one word about a particular accuser or target of this adjective nor can Liberals point to one Conservative who has advocated the superiority of their race – White or Black or any other race. However, I can point to Black and White Liberals who have done just that! (Ironic isn't it?) A “sell-out” is a person who betrays a cause, organization or in this instance, their race. Well, since you won't be able to reason properly to get from under the “racial duality” argument with regards to President Obama above, I'll keep laughing through those attempts and give you a free pass on the “sellout” charges.

Now the “Uncle Tom”charge I will debunk because every time I hear a liberal call a conservative an Uncle Tom I shake my head in disbelief and humor because being called an “Uncle Tom”is actually a compliment. If I were a Liberal I'd stop referring to Black Conservatives or any Black person in general as an “Uncle Tom” because it shows that you have not read Harriet Beecher Stowe's novel. Uncle Tom, who is the novel's protagonist, actually suffered and died because he refused to tell his brutal slave-owner the escape intentions/plans of other slaves.

After Tom is sold to said brutal owner (Simon Legree) The slaves are taken to the man's run-down plantation among the swamps. Tom is set to picking cotton, and he tries to make the best of his position by prayer and hope. He meets Cassy, Legree's black concubine, and learns her horrifying story. Tom is whipped mercilessly for attempting to help his fellow slaves, and Legree vows to break his spirit or kill him. Cassy does her best to use her influence to save Tom. But Tom, in the months that follow his beating, loses heart and nearly his faith, until at the lowest ebb of his life he is given the grace to prevail in spirit against Legree's torture. He brings his own spiritual strength to the other slaves, and Cassy devises a way for her and Emmeline to escape. The two women hide in Legree's own garret while the man searches the swamps for them. Legree questions Tom, who knows their plan but refuses to tell. Legree has Sambo and the other overseer whip Tom until he is near death; finally Legree gives up, and the dying Tom forgives him and the two men who whipped him.

George Shelby, arrived to buy Tom's freedom, is in time only to hear his last words. But Cassy and Emmeline have made good their escape, and they meet George on the riverboat going north. Another lady on the boat reveals that she is George Harris's sister, and Cassy recognizes that George's wife Eliza is her own daughter. The two, with Emmeline, go to Canada and find George, Eliza, and their children; they all eventually go to France, return, and plan to emigrate to Liberia. Meanwhile George Shelby returns to his farm, where his father has died, breaks the news to Chloe of Tom's death, and frees all his slaves, telling them to remember that they owe their freedom to the influence of Uncle Tom.

Now if that's an “Uncle Tom” you are not only free to call me that name but encouraged to do so (Well Aunt Tom in my case) He not only endured two brutal beatings so other slaves could escape, but his life inspired a White slave owner, whom he had served for years, to return home and free all of his slaves. The author, Harriett Beecher Stowe, was a White abolitionist so when you call a Black person an “Uncle Tom” you are actually not only complimenting them but also honoring her.

I wish we did live (now) in Martin Luther king Jr's “dream” where we all would be judged only by our character and not color but we do not and have a long way to go. The Conservative agenda is the closest to realizing his dream because we judge Obama based on his failed policies, empty promises & his fiscal irresponsibility. Believe me, there is enough there that we need not even mention his races. I find his biracial heritage quite a relief for us all because since he is both black and white, this should keep everyone from attacking him based on race because black and white people would actually be attacking themselves because we all share a part of him. This is one of the reasons I am proud to be an American and Conservative.

I know of another American whose dream his fellow Democrats (especially Black) fulfill diligently and faithfully, that of Lyndon B Johnson, the 36th President of the United States, who said, “I'll have those n*ggers voting Democratic for the next 200 years.” That was less than 100 years ago so if we stop wasting time with racial epithets and the name-calling, there is still time to prove him wrong.

Where’s the outrage over D.L. Hughley’s racist attack on Herman Cain?

Trying to Ignore the Stupid

Trying to Ignore the Stupid

By J C Anger

It’s truly not hard to tell when someone is truly afraid. There is often those who try to look somewhere else, often a lash out and name called or even a demonization of whatever is frightening this person or group of people. Thus is the place in time which we find ourselves in.

One of the greatest citizen’s movements within recent memory is coming together and changing history. This citizen’s movement is not subject to one form of person or another. It does not take on a certain race or specific gender. It cares not about age or background. It is being birthed by a ground swell of everyday people who only truly care for this nation’s future with such passion they are willing to sacrifice what it takes to let people know how much they care. This is the citizen movement known by words like Cainiacs, RepubliCains, Citizens4Cain, Friends of Cain, and so much more. Single handedly this citizen’s movement has propelled the Little Engine That Could into the Bullet Train That Will. They are changing the course of history and the political landscape as we know it may never be the same. These are the supporters of Herman Cain for President of the United States of America in 2012.

Yet it’s not all roses on the Cainiac front. In fact these hard working, tireless individuals are under attack like never before. Their accomplishments have stumped even the main stream media with its effectiveness and they are now seen as the serious threat to what the establishment has in place. They truly understand that MESSAGE IS MORE IMPORTANT THAN MONEY and they are working to get the message out like never before in American history. This is the very reason there is now fear in the establishment and that is why this citizen’s movement is being attacked.

First it comes from those who are supposed to be friends. When they helped propel Herman Cain to a victory in the Presidency 5 Florida Straw Poll with a margin of victory that totaled more than the two media darling’s totals combined, the main stream media and some of the Republican establishment instantly tried to court a new front runner since they were afraid the people were rising up to elect who they want. Some said it was a no confidence vote even though it was a slam dunk win for Mr. Cain. What the political pundits forgot to do is ask the people who did the voting to weigh in. When I talked to the Florida constituents they stated that they voted for Herman because he’s someone they could believe in. I read a Tweet on the Straw Poll live stream that read “I though Herman Cain was unelectable until I heard him speak”! Why does the establishment fear who the people pick? Is it that they know that when the people have a say it disrupts their important balance of power that they’ve worked so hard to control? Instead of actually giving credit where the credit is due, they try and stupidly try to shift the focus. It’s a stupid tactic that just doesn’t work in this campaign.

Next you would imagine that having Herman Cain as your first and only choice for President would dismiss claims of racism. Instead the left wing radicals have turned it up a notch in their attacks of a group of people who are all-in for a Conservative black man to become the leader of the free world. Their ignorant rants actually show how racist they have become attacking both the supporters and Mr. Cain himself. I guess they want to change history because they don’t want people to know that the Democratic Party fought to keep slavery legal and the Republican Party was created to abolish slavery. I guess they want history to be changed so that people don’t remember that the Democratic Party fought to keep lynching legal while the Republicans successfully outlawed this brutal form of murder. I guess they want history changed so that you wont ever read that the greatest Civil Rights leader that ever lived, Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., was a Republican. With histories like these, is there any question which party is the racist element? The only reason they are lashing out like this is because they are afraid and fear makes people do some stupid things.

Next you have a group of people who are trying to demonize you through non-issues. These people know who they are because they are very attacking in the way they conduct themselves. They are so-called Republicans who hi-jack polls and posts, not to make their candidate look good, but instead to try and demonize the other candidate and their followers. They use scare tactics and try and smear using things that have been discussed and solved for years. They have no true basis to stand on except the issues which they are trained to talk about with well rehearsed scripts and rhetoric that turns into senseless Politico-babble. They come in and attempts to hi-jack Mr. Cain’s sites and get promptly put their place and showed the door for being offensive and senseless. Their stupidity just shows in there futile attempt to win the argument through force instead of fact.

As Herman Cain continues to grow in the polls, the citizen’s movement is seeing an incredible spike, the like of which is unprecedented. The rise in support is unreal. From the addition of Dennis Miller to the Zogby Poll showing he is in first place nationally, it shows the momentum of the citizen’s movement is stronger than anyone could have imagined. We are proving the two things that Mr. Cain has been sharing in his interviews this week are true. First is the people are more powerful than the media. Second message is more powerful than money.

What the experts or our opponents do in response to our momentum doesn’t matter. The people of this movement are what matters. We will stick to our principles and continue to spread our message. We share with Herman Cain many common attributes. We can relate to the man he is because he is real. The more I talk to people on the street, the more the momentum grows. So let those who wish to lash out, lash out. Let those who wish to ignore, ignore. Let those who wish to demonize, demonize. What they all do it just goes to prove a common point – YOU CAN’T CURE STUPID!

Heart, Brain and Cain Solution to Immigration Problems.

Heart,Brain and Cain Solution to Immigration Problems.

By~Laurie Pruser-Stockman

How can you separate the illegal immigration problem from the economic,unemployment or national security issues? If you can, I’m missing something.

Let’s look at TEXAS. In Texas there arean estimated 1.6 million illegal immigrants are in Texas, according to the PewHispanic Center in Washington. Anestimated 60k babies are born to illegal in Texas yearly. Since 2002, the births of these children tomothers without adequate financial resources are covered by the U.S. taxpayer;since of course the child is now a legal U.S. Citizen.

Unemployment is higher than it’s been in decades in TEXAS as wellas the rest of our country. According tothe numbers released by the Reclaim American Jobs Caucus, Texas is the onlystate where the number of illegal immigrants in the workforce exceeds thenumber of unemployed citizens and that was in 2010. 81% of the job creations in TEXAS since 2007have gone to illegal immigrants. RickPerry has used the job growth in TEXAS to substantiate his bid for thepresidency. But 81% of these jobs havegone to illegal immigrants. And from 2007 to 2010, the number of minimum wage workers in Texas rose from221,000 to 550,000, an increase of nearly 150 percent. In my opinion, since the number of illegalimmigrants holding jobs in TEXAS exceeds the number of unemployed it stands toreason that these people may very well also be minimum wage earners, they verywell may be heads of families and probably have parented one or more childrenbeing born in TEXAS during their stay. So it also stands to reason that theyhave used Medicaid and food stamps.

But wait, illegals can’t get Medicaid; right? They can’t get food stamps; right? No. legally they cannot but theirchildren born here can. In Texas, 54% of legal immigrants and 79% of illegalimmigrants receive welfare assistance, with illegal immigrants generallyreceiving benefits on behalf of their U.S.-born children, according to a studywritten by a think tank that favors reducing immigration into the U.S. The myth that illegals are not receiving and benefittingfrom government programs is greatly exaggerated since most illegals participatebased upon their children’s status as U.S. citizens. Overall, Texas tied with Californiaand New York for the second highest immigrant welfare rates behindArizona. One-third of these householdshave a head of household that is not a high school graduate. So what welfareprograms are these illegals benefitting from? The welfare programs which were analyzed in this report includeSupplemental Security income for low income elderly and disabled, TemporaryAssistance to Needy Families, Women, Infants and Children food program,free/reduced school lunch and breakfast programs, food stamps, Medicaid, publichousing and rent subsidies.

Education: What is the cost of educatingthese illegal immigrant children in TEXAS? That’s more difficult to define since there needs to be a distinction betweenthose brought here by their parents and those born here. In 2009, Immigration Reform Coalition of TEXASestimates that illegal immigration costs the state $4.5 billion to $6 billion ayear and amount mostly spent on educating their children. In 2006, Lone Star Foundation issued a reportwhich found the costs of educating children of unauthorized immigrants aren’toffset by the estimated $1 billion a year in tax revenues the state collectsfrom their parent, making such families a burden to the state of Texas.

So what about national security? In2008, the Department of Homeland Security states that 331k people fromcountries OTHER THAN MEXICO have been apprehended trying to cross the Southernland border of the U.S.A. Theseindividuals came from virtually every country in the world, including some withwhom we have an adversarial relationship, such as Communist China, Iran andNorth Korea. Former Deputy Secretary ofHomeland Security; James Loy confirmed in 2004 the seriousness of lack ofborder security. According to Mr. Loy, “Al Qaeda leaders believe operatives can pay their way into the country throughMexico and also believe illegal entry is more advantageous than legal entry foroperational security reasons.” Tworetired Army generals commissioned to conduct a study of the border violence bythe TEXAS LEGISLATURE and paid for by the Texas Departments of Agriculture andPublic Safety concluded that “alongboth sides of the Texas-Mexico border are tantamount to living in a warzone inwhich civil authorities, law enforcement agencies as well as citizens are underattack around the clock.” Of course thisreport has been mocked by the Obama administration who not that many of thewitnesses interviewed were not identified. Perhaps this will clarify why those witnesses chose to remain anonymous: “The situation is so bad that owners of aranch in Brooks County packed up and left their 38k acre ranch because the areahas become, as they described it, a war zone. Their home had been broken into, their land littered with garbage andthe distinct sounds of gunfire could be heard from their front porch day andnight.” Brooks County isn’t a bordercounty but is on the corridor that these criminals use to smuggle, guns anddrugs. Brooks County spent $260kperforming autopsies on unidentified bodies in 2010. The grisly discoveries are become anall-too-common occurrence.

General McCaffry, (one of the generals commissioned to produce this report)says a fence would be a helpful addition to an increase in personnel. “… Fencing does have a role to play”.

Rick Perry says that those of us who oppose giving illegals in Texas in statetuition as Texas residents to our colleges are “heartless”. I disagree. This residency status costs us taxpayer money that otherwise would beused to educate legal residents of Texas. According to the Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board, thesestudent also may and often do qualify for state grants, loans and individualknown as institutional aid from the specific universities. As of March 2010, 22,697 illegals havebenefited from the Texas Dream act which Rick Perry supports. Who’s making sure that these kids arefollowing through on their requirements to gain this status andassistance? No one. Rick Perry said that the Texas EducationAssociation is but in a statement from TEA, they deny that and state they donot have the resources to do anything like it.
The Dallas Morning News interviewed a young woman who benefitted from thisprogram but hasn’t managed to become a citizen so she cannot work as the nurseshe’s been trained to be. In what wayhas this law benefitted her? She’s stillhere illegally and she’s still unemployed.

Rick Perry would have us to believe that we both supplement their educationdollars and give them preferential treatment to attend our colleges or theywon’t attend and thereby will become wards of the state on our welfarerolls. That simply cannot be proven andwell, unfortunately for Mr. Perry; one may be on welfare and a college studentin TEXAS. Now he’s given them Texasresidency status as well though.

I believe that Rick Perry has failed to do what he could have done. It took years before the Voter ID bill was passed,how much influence Perry used to have this passed is unclear. What is clear is that although he put theanti-sanctuary cities bill in the last session; he did only that. He did little else. Perry’s criticism of Arizona’s immigrationlaws is disturbing to me as well. Perrysaid, “It would not be in the right direction for Texas.” He goes on to blame the federal government, “…Asthe debate on immigration reform intensifies, the focus must remain on bordersecurity and the federal government’s failure to adequately protect ourborders. Securing our border is afederal responsibility, but it is a Texas problem, and it must be addressedbefore comprehensive immigration reform is discussed.” Comprehensive Immigration Reform????

Okay. . So what does Herman Cain have to say on the matter of “ComprehensiveImmigration Reform”?

“... weak borders have caused a compounding problem of terrorists assimilatingwith illegal immigrants, crossing the border with them and entering theU.S. Illegal immigration also puts atremendous strain on America’s entitlement and Healthcare systems.”

“Protecting our Nation’s sovereignty should be a paramount concern of thoseelected to lead us, not an afterthought or a reaction once the problem becomeseven worse. Taking a stand on the issuedoes not mean one lacks compassion, butinstead, that one respects the rule of law and the importance of not becoming alawless nation.”

Mr.Cain has said often and clearly,

1.Yes, we must secure the border withwhatever means necessary.

2. Enforcethe laws that are there.

3. Promotethe path to citizenship that's already there. We have a path to citizenship forillegal aliens. It's called legal immigration.

4.I happen to agree with empowering the states and allow them to deal with thatissue. If we work on the right problem, we will be able to solve it.

“…in the case of immigration, we've got four problems that we need to work onsimultaneously.We can have high fences and wide open doors,all at the same time.”
