I awoke this morning to the firestorm about Herman Cain's comments on Rick Perry's father's hunting camp. First, if you are democrat and you have never asked why your party allowed a man who recruited 150 of his friends to start a new chapter of the Klu Klux Klan in a state that was the location of the infamous anti-slavery rebellion led by John Brown--shut-up, sit down. Your opinion is tainted by opportunism at best. For those of you who need subtitles, I am referring to Robert Byrd, the esteemed Senator from West Virginia. And John Brown lead anan anti-slavery insurrection in West Virginia.
For those of you who never protested your Democrat Governors' decisions to fly the "stars and bars" over the state house in honor of the state's southern history--shut-up, sit down. Also for those of you who need subtitles--Confederate flag.
Two viable candidates have a difference of opinion. From looking at the transcriptions and listening to the clips, the worst thing said by Herman Cain is that Perry's father and Perry hunting at a camp called by custom and stone outside of the camp--"Niggerhead" was insensitive. I listened, and listened for the part where Cain uses the word "racist". Didn't hear it. For the record...I don't care when they painted over it in the 1980s? Really in the 1980s, it was insensitive! If you painted over it in the 1970s, still insensitive. In the 1960s or 1950s understandable for Southern Democrats.
Let's talk about real issues.. Where is all the talk about the 9-9-9 Program? The flat tax plan that Mr. Cain discussed? Where is the conversation about his belief that he can win 1/3 of the Black vote...he can! He can win the votes of those of us who, as I say, "have outlived our democrat parents." In truth, those of us who vote our values not our race, those of use who know the history of oppression in the democrat party, and those of us who think an abortion loving, fascist who thinks America should not be proud of its history regardless of his race is wrong for this country could vote for Mr. Cain or any other good conservative candidate, regardless of race.
