Liberals Without SIN by: Allie Winegar Duzett, October 13, 2009 Radio host Herman Cain was a popular presenter at the Americans for Prosperity (AFP) Defending the American Dream Summit on October 3, 2009. Cain began his speech by quoting the entire second paragraph of the Declaration of Independence—without a teleprompter, much to the audience’s delight. Cain focused his presentation on the idea of conversion: in a world with so many liberals, Cain argued, conservatives need to step up and “save the savable,” those liberals who have not yet lost the ability to see the light. “Don’t go after ‘em all,”...

Although they will be vastly overshadowed–and rightly so–by the amazing turnout in Washington, D.C., several localities also hosted Tea Parties to coincide with the March on the Capitol. I was fortunate enough to attend the event in Roswell, GA.

Please tune in and listen to the Herman Cain Show Tonight! You can listen via internet. 7:00 pm - 10:00 pm (M-F) I have a good source that leads me to believe that a big story might break tonight! Herman Cain is ALWAYS worth listening to. I LOVE Mark Levin-- but if you are looking for someone to listen to after 8 pm ET-- Herman is a great place to go!

Join Loki and freeper HonestConservative (little 'ol me) as we listen to the wisdom of Herman Cain. Mr. Cain was a Republican nominee for Senator from the great state of Georgia. Herman Cain IS the American Dream. He can be heard every evening at 7 to 10 pm est on WSB 750 AM Atlanta, you can also pick it up on podcast. http://wsbradio.com/ His latest book: They Think You're Stupid, is available on Amazon.com and it is a gold mine of common sense, with a marvelous forward by Zell Miller. As Herman says, "Listen in. You just might learn something."...

I listen to his radio show a lot, and he has good ideas on how to repackage the GOP. He seems to want the position.Herman ran for the Senate in Georgia, but lost the primary to the RINO Johnney Isakson. Before that, he ran Godfather's pizza, some small business and sits on some major corporate boards. He hosts "The new Herman Cain Show" on am750 at 7pm monday - friday. AM750 is the local Atlanta clear radio station that hosts Boortz, Hannity, Clarke Howard and some others.

While the Democrats had their week of unchallenged propaganda about their party – how perfect it is and how terrible the Republicans are – the latest good news about the economy and the average adjusted gross income went unnoticed. Once again, when Democrats don’t like the facts, they just ignore them with the help of the mainstream media. On August 26, Investor’s Business Daily reported data from the Internal Revenue Service showing that the average U.S. income had increased every year for five straight years through 2006. In fact, the $58,029 average was $739 higher than the peak year of...

Now that I have your attention, here’s how. Slow down. Stop the jack rabbit starts. Don’t slam the brakes. Dump the junk in the trunk. Use the cruise. Ride on air. And sweat on the way home. A properly maintained vehicle, plus changing your driving behavior can actually increase your gas mileage by 50 percent, which saves you $2 per gallon on your next gallon of gas. And I have the listeners who have done it to prove it. Here’s the math. The pain at the pump is now averaging $4 a gallon. If you are currently getting 20 miles...

Energy Independence: Brazil's Best Kept Secret By Herman Cain Last week I had the opportunity to experience some of the customs of the Brazilian people, and to learn first-hand some of the similarities and differences between Brazil and the United States. The customs and similarities were not surprising, and often quite enjoyable, but one big difference really took me by surprise – namely, Brazil's energy independence. Brazil's reputation for the production of quality beef, coffee and sugar is well deserved, especially when experienced at a traditional Brazilian barbeque. It is a meat lover's dream. And experiencing one of their traditional...

The only thing new about the presidential campaign’s latest “race card” episode, which was triggered by former vice presidential candidate Geraldine Ferraro, is that the Wall Street Journal’s March 13 editorial analysis of her comment was dead wrong. It started with the opening sentence: Is it just us, or does Barack Obama seem a mite too quick to play the race card when facing criticism from political opponents? Yes, it is just y’all. Obama did not play the race card, he simply responded to a racial comment by a high-profile Hillary Clinton supporter. “If Obama was a white man, he...

The dynamics of political party connections, the political process itself and public perceptions have once again yielded the top two contenders of each major party in the 2008 presidential race. And once again, the public can only hope that the ultimate winner of the White House will be a candidate with the most leadership substance. My vote is for Mitt Romney. History is important, but the future is more important. Making history is nice, but nice can’t make critical decisions. The success of this country in the future will be shaped by the leadership abilities of the next president.

You Might Be a Liberal, But the Hermanator is Here to Help By Herman Cain December 24, 2007 "Merry Christmas" is an expression of hope that someone will receive the blessings of Christ, and enjoy the celebrations of His birth. It is not a provocation or an attempt to antagonize someone who may not believe in Christ, which someone told me recently as to why they would prefer "Happy Holidays." Not knowing this person very well, I thought to myself that they might be a liberal and didn't know it. In fact, it caused me to wonder if liberals in...

The Baptists, Methodists, Catholics, Lutherans, Pentecostals, Mormons and a few other faiths have three things in common – they believe in Jesus Christ, that He is the Son of God and that He died and was resurrected for our sins. So what’s the problem? The political pundits continue to try and make Mitt Romney’s religious beliefs a big issue as he runs for the Republican presidential nomination. Different denominations of Christianity are just that – different denominations – which means different worship practices of the same fundamental Christian beliefs. Some people have commented that they cannot support Mitt Romney because...

With the ongoing help of the “mainstream media,” the Democrats continue to win the war of words. They stick to their talking points like glue on a rug. The president has stated again that he will veto the Democrats’ version of the State Child Health Insurance Program (SCHIP), but the public rarely hears the reasons. Namely, the Democrats’ proposal more than doubles the cost by expanding eligibility to not just poor families, but to families making $82,000 a year. Some of us call that middle class, which is government subsidized health insurance through the back door. The liberal Democrats see...

The FairTax: Don’t Tell the CEO By Herman Cain 5/07/2007 The one thing members of Congress and corporate CEO’s have in common is that they have to rely on key staff people to keep them knowledgeable about a lot of issues, and to help them set priorities. But sometimes the staffers will go so far as to determine if something is a priority or not, based on their view of the likelihood of congressional passage, or the likelihood of generating a large constituency response. Most members of Congress and corporate CEO’s do not consider replacing the dysfunctional tax code with...

At Least Don Imus Didn't Call Black Republicans 'Moronic' April 23, 2007 By Herman Cain Don Imus's slip of the lip created a media and racial outrage. He immediately acknowledged his mistake and apologized in person to the Rutgers women basketball team members. They accepted his apology with dignity and class. John Sugg is Senior Editor of Creative Loafing, a limited distribution weekly paper based in Atlanta, Georgia. Sugg did not have a slip of the pen or a runaway keyboard when he referred to me and all black Republicans as moronic. Sugg wrote, "Being a black Republican is not...

Fred Thompson's Revelation: Cancer Is Not a Death SentenceBy Herman CainWednesday, April 18, 2007 Former Senator Fred Thompson's recent disclosure that he has a form of cancer called lymphoma has people wondering if he should still run for president. The answer is yes for at least three reasons: 1) His cancer is non aggressive and has been in remission for over two years; 2) He could be the next leader we need for this country; and 3) Cancer is not a death sentence. Several high profile personalities have highlighted the media's misperceptions of cancer, and as a result, the public's...

America is Beautiful April 9, 2007 By Herman Cain Spring is a refreshing time of the year when most of us know how to enjoy the beauty of Mother Nature and her splendor. It is also a good time to remind people of the beauty of this great nation, the United States of America, despite those who work so hard to paint America as ugly. Let's look at some of the things the ugly crowd chooses to forget. We have not had a terrorist attack on our soil since September 11, 2001. The growth in the national economy has been...

April's Fools: One Born Every Minute April 02, 2007 By Herman Cain An old and popular English proverb cautions us that a fool and his money are soon parted. Senate Finance Committee Chairman Max Baucus (D-MT) is taking us all for fools with some of his recent statements and votes. On January 4, 2007, Senator Baucus spoke on the Senate floor about the imperative need to repeal the Alternative Minimum Tax (AMT). The AMT was enacted in 1969 to make sure that a handful of millionaires could not take advantage of completely legal tax deductions and shelters. Because Congress did...

Universal Choice Can Fix the Health Care Roof March 26, 2007 By Herman Cain A simple change in the antiquated tax code would create an avalanche of universal choice in health care, instead of current proposals that produce universal dependence on government. Namely, the U.S. should eliminate the deductibility discrimination between employers and employees for health insurance premiums. The ideal solution would be to replace the tax code with the Fair Tax, which essentially replaces the income tax with a consumption tax. But since few politicians with a bully pulpit have shown the moral or political courage to lead the...

Presidential Baggage Check March 19, 2007 By Herman Cain A topic of conversation at nearly every event I have attended since the presidential rat race began is each political party's presidential candidates. Invariably, whenever someone mentions one of the current front runners in either party, someone else in the gathering objects because of that particular candidate's alleged baggage. Every candidate in the field has baggage in their political or personal past that offends someone else. There are no perfect candidates running for president on either side of the political spectrum. It's unfortunate, but it is reality. Here are some examples...

It's Not About Health Care March 12, 2007 By Herman Cain The caretakers of our three constitutional branches, plus their respective bureaucracies, go to great trouble to convince voters that this time they have stumbled upon the perfect government-mandated solutions for all our maladies. If a majority of us non-elites in the far flung hinterlands would just trust them this time, then wow, life in these United States would be nothing but a cornucopia of bliss. Of course, over 200 years of American history has shown us that our elected, appointed and career government employees are not motivated by the...

Creative Rhetoric Masks Fiscal Reality March 5, 2007 By Herman Cain Politicians use words to inspire, cajole and convince people that their particular policy prescriptions are without fault and beneficial to both the least among us and the nation as a whole. Unfortunately, some politicians also use words to deceive people with a rhetorical frequency and intensity that overshadow reality for the uninformed voter. Pundits often analyze a politician's positions on the most prominent issues as distinct from his vision of sound fiscal policy. The shrewdest of lawmakers, however, seek to blur the distinctions, arguing that their brand of fiscal...

Let the Veepstakes Begin February 26, 2007 By Herman Cain Since the race for the 2008 Democratic presidential nomination began, roughly, on Inauguration Day 2005, it is not too early to speculate on who might be the leading candidates for the eventual nominees' vice presidential pick. The media's attention is focused for now on the three-way dust-up between Senator Hillary Clinton (D-NY), liberal Hollywood mogul and former Clinton supporter David Geffen and Senator Barack Obama (D-IL). The media cannot avoid a story filled with Hollywood drama and the politics of sex and race. Geffen, who hosted a megastar fundraiser for...

Pandering Their Way to Permanent Minority Status February 19, 2007 By Herman Cain Last week I discussed the testimony delivered February 8 by Treasury Secretary Henry Paulson before the Senate Budget Committee on President Bush's fiscal year 2008 budget proposals. When asked by Budget Committee Chairman Kent Conrad (D-ND) about proposals to reform entitlement programs, Paulson said, "Let's take the politics out of this ... without prejudging outcomes, without trying to negotiate this in a public arena." Senator Conrad responded, "I think that is a very constructive statement." This smacks at an attempt to negotiate solutions to the nation's most...

No One's Guarding the Hen House February 12, 2007 By Herman Cain "The American people voted to restore integrity and honesty in Washington, D.C. And the Democrats intend to lead the most honest, most open and most ethical Congress in history." – U.S. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA), Election Night, November 7, 2006 What a difference three months – and a taste of power – makes. Speaker Pelosi may have banned smoking in the Capitol's corridors, but under liberal leadership the backroom is wide open for business. Members of the Bush administration are unconscionably collaborating. A February 8 Wall Street...

Entitlement is a Disease February 5, 2007 By Herman Cain Entitlement is a disease, much like cancer. I fought and won my personal war against cancer, but have thankfully never suffered from entitlement. If there is indeed a divide in our country, as liberals in both political parties are all too willing to espouse and exploit, it may very well be between those Americans who feel entitled to guarantees of health care, retirement income and protections of their self-defined class, and the rest of us who have read the Constitution. Our nation was founded upon the notion that government should...

Christmas and Hanukkah: Deal With It December 25, 2006 By Herman Cain Merry Christmas and Happy Hanukkah! Go ahead and call the politically correct police, I do not care. As a lifelong Christian with many Jewish friends, I do care about religious faith and traditions. The faith and traditions practiced each December in the name of the Judeo-Christian God do not need to hide behind secularism and the threat of lawsuits. The First Amendment to the Constitution of the United States of America guarantees freedom to exercise religion, the freedom of speech and the freedom to peaceably assemble. The First...

How Uncle Sam Assists Identity Thieves By Herman Cain Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents on December 12 arrested 1,282 Swift & Co. meatpacking plant employees in six states on violations of immigration law and identity theft. The arrests were not only the culmination of an 11-month investigation, but they exposed a flimsy government program that knowingly allows millions of illegal aliens to commit identity theft. It's called the Basic Pilot program. Employers who voluntary utilize Basic Pilot simply send the Social Security number provided by a job applicant to the Social Security Administration (SSA). If the Social Security number...

Tiger in 2016! December 13, 2006 By Herman Cain The current announced crop of 2008 Republican presidential contenders is about as inspiring as Saturday's leftovers for Monday's lunch. John McCain. We've seen that movie. Do we have to watch the sequel? Rudy Giuliani. Great leader, hates terrorists, but farther to the left than a Blue Dog Democrat. Mitt Romney. Where does he stand on the issues today? Thankfully, as Monday turns to Tuesday, hope springs eternal for Friday night when, in my case, I order two pieces of fried catfish fillet and my favorite sides from my favorite restaurant. No...

Dem Health Care Plans: Piecemeal Socialism By Herman Cain Future House Speaker Nancy Pelosi's (D-CA) "Six in '06" policy agenda includes just one health care provision – allowing the federal government to negotiate for lower prescription drug prices. In truth, Pelosi and her big government allies are taking a piecemeal approach toward their larger socialist goal of universal health care. As some conservatives in Congress have shown, however, the only way to lower health care costs is through free market solutions. Universal health care is as much a sacrament to liberalism as protecting abortion on demand and ensuring that no...

Read Between the Lines By Herman Cain November 29, 2006 In the 2006 election cycle, Democrats campaigned on the promise of "A New Direction," a platform that expectedly has no compass and little content. Congressman Barney Frank (D-MA) recently told Fox News that Democrats will focus the next two years on raising the minimum wage, providing cheaper drug coverage for seniors and increasing spending on college tuition. Now Congressman Charlie Rangel (D-NY) wants to reinstate the military draft, yet fellow Democratic Congressman Gregory Meeks (D-NY) says Rangel does not really want a draft, and that we should "read between the...

An American Thanksgiving story By Herman Cain Friday, November 24, 2006 Thanksgiving in America is a time of traditions - turkey and dressing, gathering around the table, watching football and seeing schoolchildren dressed up as Pilgrims and Indians, reenacting the first Thanksgiving. One of the most fascinating early American stories is the "sale" of Manhattan Island. The story goes that some Dutch colonists traded beads and other trinkets to the Indians for the land, acquiring the island for what amounted to $24 worth of goods. With our Westernized view of property - especially knowing how expensive Manhattan is nowadays -...

No Political Santa Claus by Herman Cain If you think Santa Claus came early this year by delivering liberal majorities in the House and Senate, you had better check your stocking again. Liberals and the political parties will continue to play us like the kid who asked Santa for a pony, but woke up Christmas morning to find a big box of horse manure. At first blush, Congressman Charlie Rangel's (D-NY) comments last week about Mississippi are merely the latest exposé of Northeast limousine liberal elitism, similar to Senator John Kerry's (D-MA) remarks before the election disparaging our brave military...

Armchair Presidents November 1, 2006 By Herman Cain It's easy to give someone advice after the fact, and even then, there is no measure that the advice would have been a better decision. In sports, it's called being an armchair quarterback. The armchair quarterbacks of the sports world have their peers in the world of political commentary. The armchair presidents of the political universe include the usual liberal newspaper and television pundits, heads of think tanks and organizations that represent the extreme left wing of political ideology, faceless liberal bloggers who still cling to the hope that a future Supreme...

The Sky Is Not Falling by Herman Cain[Excerpt] The Chicken Littles in the Democratic Party, liberal media outlets and liberal political action groups are attempting to convince voters that the sky is falling on America’s economy, our national security and Republican candidates at the national and state levels. ... The sky is not falling, but it will rain a tsunami of bad economic and foreign policy if we give Democrats control of Congress. [Excerpt]

The Economy, Karl September 6, 2006 By Herman Cain Election Day 2006 is just two months away, yet it is hard to fathom a time when both major political parties have been more out of touch with the American public. The Republicans appear incapable of touting their successes on the economy, explaining to the public that the war in Iraq is indeed part of the global war against Islamic terrorists and securing our borders against the flood of illegal aliens. The Democrats offer no solutions to the issues. Their election year platform of raising the minimum wage and cutting and...

Washington, DC -- With the balance of power in Congress hanging in the air, a leading African American businessman says black voters in the United States should put their historical pro-life values above political party. That means voting for pro-life candidates rather than supporting Democratic candidates across the board. Herman Cain is best known as the former chairman and CEO of Godfather’s Pizza. He is a political commentator and was a candidate for the U.S. Senate. “More and more African Americans are pro-life," Cain said in a statement LifeNews.com obtained. “Our message to African Americans is simple -- it's time...

Don't Trust the Scorpion By Herman CainA variation on a centuries-old parable goes like this: A scorpion wants to cross a stream but, since he cannot swim, the scorpion will need some help. A frog soon hops by and the scorpion says, "Mr. Frog, I would like to get to the other side of the stream, but I cannot swim. Would you carry me on your back?" The wary frog replies, "But you are a scorpion. As soon as we get halfway across you will sting me. Then we will both drown." "Don't be ridiculous," the scorpion replies. "Why would...

Democrats are calling on Wal-Mart to repudiate a statement by a talk show host and Wal-Mart proponent likening the party's leading lawmakers to members of a terrorist group, Hezbollah. In a column published Tuesday, the commentator, Herman Cain, repeatedly used the term "Hezbocrats." Mr. Cain defined them as "a roaming band of militant guerrillas seeking their party's 2008 nomination for president" and said they were lobbing "rhetorical bombs at Wal-Mart."

en. John Kerry and Congresswoman DeLaura Respond to Wal-Mart Front Group's Attacks Referring to Democrats as Hezbollah 8/23/2006 5:00:00 PM To: National Desk Contact: Chris Kofinis of WakeUpWalMart.com, 202-486-6422 ALBUQUERQUE, Aug. 23 /U.S. Newswire/ -- Last night, Working Families for Wal-Mart steering committee member, Herman Cain, wrote a column in which he said Democrats are like Hezbollah if they ask the largest employer in America, Wal-Mart, to be a responsible corporate citizen and pay a living wage and provide affordable health care to its employees. In just a few short hours, Sen. John Kerry and Congresswoman Rosa DeLaura issued strong...

Hezbocrats Attack Wal-Mart By Herman Cain The Hezbocrats, a roaming band of militant guerrillas seeking their party’s 2008 nomination for president, have most recently lobbed their rhetorical bombs at Wal-Mart, that cruel capitalist occupying corporation. The most recent base of Hezbocrat activity was Iowa, the state whose January 2008 party caucuses are the nation’s first measure of presidential preference. The Hezbocrats, armed with nothing more than Katyusha-grade class warfare rhetoric, descended upon Iowa earlier this month determined to take down Wal-Mart, a company they consider the nation’s largest capitalistic oppressor of the proletariat. Leading Hezbocrats, including Sen. Joe Biden (D-DE),...

Where Congress Fumbles, the States Recover By Herman Cain August 16, 2006 "The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people." – 10th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution The inability and unwillingness of Congress this year to cut federal spending, restructure Social Security, eliminate the estate tax and protect our borders has been well documented. If the Republicans lose seats this November in one or both chambers, they will have their self-imposed legislative impotence to blame. Fortunately, many of the...

Democrats Can't Hit the Trifecta By Herman CainHouse and Senate Democrats have made an increase in the federal minimum wage a centerpiece of their 2006 plan to take back control of Congress. Yet when Republicans last week offered up the "trifecta" bill, which contained the minimum wage increase Democrats demand, the Democrats balked and opposed it. Democrats claimed that the coupling of a minimum wage increase with reductions in the estate tax was a dirty political trick they could not accept. If the minimum wage increase was so important to the Democrats' election year agenda, why did they oppose it...

The Propaganda War By Herman Cain Three groups are waging a spectacularly unified propaganda war against the Israeli military, the U.S. military and the Bush administration. They are the liberal media outlets, liberals in the U.S. Congress and the United Nations. In a world with a 24/7 microscopic news cycle, one statement that is twisted, misunderstood or misrepresented can sway public opinion and political reaction more than 1,000 tanks and 10,000 bombs. The liberal media outlets basically refuse to call the members of Hezbollah, Hamas or our enemies in Iraq what they really are – Islamic terrorists. They most...
