As the “Cain Train” gains momentum, the attacks on GOP front-runner Herman Cain will likely increase, and, intensify in their vitriol.
MSNBC Democratic strategist Karen Finney told Martin Bashir on Friday that she thinks Republicans are supporting Cain because he is “a black man that knows his place.”
“Very seriously, and this is a little harsh, but one of the things about Herman Cain is, I think that he makes that white Republican base of the party feel OK, feel like they are not racist because they can like this guy. I think he is giving that base a free pass and I think they like him because they think he is a black man that knows his place. And I know that’s harsh, but that’s how it sure seems to me.”
“Thank you for spelling that out,” Bashir responded.

I like Cain because he seems honest and and he’s not hateful and he has good ideas, that’s all there is to it. I wouldn’t care if he has 3 eyes, blue skin, or antennae… he seems like a great, honest, patriotic man – unlike these jealous, dishonest, anti-American MSNBC hosts with almost absolute zero ratings.

Posted on October 29, 2011 at 8:28amSometimes first impressions and a gut feeling about a person has merit. I liked Herman Cain the first time I saw that pleasant big smile. He has been there and done that and he is a real man and comfortable in his own skin. Of course Iike him more because, like me, he is left handed (we left handed people are the only people who are in their right minds) and a cancer survivor. On a more serious note, he is not a politician and that is a plus.

As far as foreign policies go Cain is intelligent and will surround himself with the right people. I would say that he will learn quickly and will educate himself in the areas that are needed. They are more or less calling Cain the token black for the conservative party when in fact he is an American with the qualities we need in a president. I like him and respect him. He understands what it will take to regain our strength as a nation and will work for the people of all races. He will not miss the opportunity to unite Americans regardless of color. Unlike Obama who has done everything to divide the races for the progressive agenda.

Posted on October 28, 2011 at 9:51pmObama’s birth certificate alleges “where” he was born and his parent’s citizenship “when” he was born. These equally important “facts” are now beyond Obama’s ability to refute, alter or hide! Unless fake, the inescapable truth is that his Kenyan father precludes his being a natural born citizen, meaning born in the US to TWO US citizen parents, as required by law.
Presidential candidates, who now each have “legal standing” in court, must file suit against Obama and the DNC, alleging fraud and failure to qualify as a natural born citizen, or be dismissed as untrustworthy!
Constitution, Art. 2, Sec. 1, “No person except a natural born Citizen, or a Citizen of the United States, at the time of the Adoption of this Constitution, shall be eligible … .”
Exempting a “citizen” from being a “natural born citizen” proves they aren’t equal, or no exemption was needed. Being not less than nor equal, a NBC must be more than the minimum requisite for citizenship then, which was US birth to a US citizen parent. Only US birth to US citizen parents (plural) is greater, thus defining a natural born citizen.
The Supreme Court agreed in Minor v. Happersett, 1874. “The Court held that Minor was a member of the “class” of persons who were natural born citizens. They defined this class as those born in the US to “parents” (plural) who were citizens.” Leo Donofrio, JD.

What’s with the new name? Did you think I wouldn’t recognize you and take the time to tell the good folks out there that the Supreme Court made it very clear in their decision on Minor v Happersett that they were NOT setting a precedent by establishing a complete and exclusive definition of natural born citizen?
“Some authorities go further and include as citizens children born within the jurisdiction without reference to the citizenship of their parents. As to this class there have been doubts, but never as to the first. For the purposes of this case it is not necessary to solve these doubts.”
Or point out that there is no definition in the Constitution, or that the Supreme Court finally settled the issue in 1898 and that ever since then the law of the land has been that anyone who was born here is a natural born citizen. Gosh, if I didn’t know better, I’d almost think you didn’t enjoy our little discussions of Constitutional law.
