The Swamp holds a political rally, er, ‘funeral’ for John Lewis. – Now, you can’t go to church with more than 10 of your fellow Americans, but those who infest the DC Swamp can fill a church, ignore social distancing, and hold a political rally for a dead corrupt congressman who in his youth was a genuine champion of civil rights.
Barack Hussein Obama His Own Self, was there, preaching about the glories of mail-in ballots and the evils of having to have an ID when you go vote. San Fran Nan was there, half in the tank as always. Slick Willie was there, his visage increasingly that of a wraith from a horror film, which is the only way one would expect a long-time running buddy of Jeffrey Epstein to age. Hell, they even rolled out George W. Bush, who likely knew Mr. Lewis about as well as he knew me.
Because this funeral wasn’t a funeral at all: Like the “funerals” for John McCain and Aretha Franklin and George Floyd before it, this was just another chance to brainwash the public and take shots at the Bad Orange Man who isn’t part of their club. That’s all it was: a gaudy and disgusting spectacle that has become sadly typical of the Swamp in general and Democrats in particular.
See, they can all do this thing that you can’t because they’re your betters. Just like Dr. Fauci can go to a baseball game and yuck it up in the stands while he ignores his own dictates that have become a oppressive part of your lives. They’re the elite; the segment of our society that gets to ignore all of the stuff they tell you you must do or be tossed in jail.
If you don’t believe me, just watch and learn. Herman Cain, a hero for conservatives everywhere and a truly great American, died yesterday. Let’s watch and see if he gets a nationally-televised funeral in a church filled with Swamplings. Let’s watch and see if he gets a send-off in a church filled with people, period.
What Cain has received already instead is derision from the corrupt news media. Pretty much every outlet knee-jerked to the narrative that “Cain, who refused to wear a mask, died after he was diagnosed with COVID-19 just 9 days after attending a rally for President Trump in Tulsa.” To the Associated Press, the New York Times, Politico, CNN, MSNBC and all of the TV networks, that is apparently the story of Herman Cain’s life in its entirety.
For those unaware, Herman Cain was born in 1945 in Atlanta, the son of a father who worked variously as a barber, a chauffeur and a janitor and a mother who worked as a maid. Hard working, great Americans. Cain himself followed his parents’ example to become a hard-working, great American in his own right.
After putting himself through college and receiving a degree in mathematics from Morehouse College, Cain served his country as a civilian systems analyst for the Department of the Navy. He then moved into the business world, where he rose to national prominence, ultimately becoming the CEO of Godfather’s Pizza and the Chairman of the National Restaurant Association.
He ran for the GOP presidential nomination in 2012, a nomination that ultimately went to the Swampling RINO Mitt Romney, with disastrous results. Cain was running a strong race until it was revealed he had had an extra-marital affair, something that would have been a badge of honor for any Democrat, but which gave the corrupt media an excuse to hound him out of the race.
There will be no nationally-televised funeral for Mr. Cain. His body will not lie in state at the nation’s capitol. He won’t have 4 or 5 separate memorial services over a span of 10 days, as did McCain and Floyd and Lewis. Al Sharpton won’t be invited to deliver an hour-long, hate-filled diatribe. The Clintons will not travel to his funeral from Chappaqua, nor the Bushes from their ranch in Texas. Obama His Own Self will not deliver a eulogy filled with messages about mail-in voting or voter ID.
Herman Cain won’t received send-offs from those former presidents, but he did get this tribute from the current one:
Rest in Peace, Herman Cain. Rest in the knowledge that, because you are neither a Swampling nor, like George Floyd, a convenient false idol being used by Democrats to justify mass riots, your funeral will be an actual, dignified funeral, not a disgusting political rally officiated by the fading wraiths of the elite.
That is all.
Wellstone rallies are for Democrats.
Herman Cain should have been the first US President with darker skin
It’s true and the MSM was there every step of the way.
Paul Wellstone was a Dem. Minnesota Senator who died in a plane crash along with his wife and daughter on Oct. 24, 2002, just prior to the 2002 mid-term elections.
His funeral was held in an arena and broadcast by all major networks and quickly devolved into a political rally. One of the speakers even begged the television audience to "do it for Paul" by electing the Democrat they would put up to replace him (Walter Mondale). Both of Wellstone's sons spoke, and the younger one started a chant of "We will win!"
As the cameras panned the audience and democrats like Hillary Clinton showed up on the big screen, the left wing audience cheered. Conversely, when the cameras caught any republicans there to pay their respects, or the independent governor, Jesse Ventura, the crowd booed loudly.
The Democrats had no idea of how repulsive the public found that memorial. The Democrats thought they had scored a home-run.
In the following weeks, the MSM said nothing about how the memorial was in bad taste, but continued to extol the virtues of Paul Wellstone (a genuinely nice guy).
The result was that Republican Norm Coleman won the Senate election that November.
Again, for those of you not old enough to remember, google "Wellstone Memorial."
It appears that the Democrats never learn.
I remember the non-stop news on princess Diana’s death and then the clear consternation in the media’s eyes when mother Theresa passed so soon after, while they worried about their mask slipping.

I didn’t know it was Legal for a TAX EXEMPT Religious Institution to hold Partisan Political Rallies?? Has the IRS contacted them yet?? Has the Republican Party filed a TAX FRAUD Complaint with the IRS yet?? Has their TAX EXEMPT Status been REVOKED yet??
WHY NOT??
Herman Cain was a giant. Milkdud was a grifter who got brained in the 60’s.
30 years in congress is nothing to be lauded. It’s a disgrace.
I can assure you folks, that millions of all stripes of Patriotic Americans will mourn Herman Cain, then ever will mourn John Lewis. The overall American people turnout for John Lewis, considering the the onslaught of one funeral wake after the other was pathetic to say the least.
Why? When their Democrat Party, hate and vermin spills over,....the American people at large get it, the value of the greatness of the flawed, individual diminishes immensely. When John Lewis and other Democrats refused to attend the Trump Inauguration and then spewed their hate their case was not listened or tuned in on!!! So much for Obama!!! He is toast.
Obama made a hateful political speech at the Lewis funeral and, you know what, hardly any American voters watched, American justice is about to settle down on the head, heart & soul of Obama & Joe Biden....stay tuned!!!
Obama proved what a racist, hateful political lightweight he always has been.
He’s simply a racists scumbag. Nothing more, nothing less. Just a rodeo clown, looking for a new rodeo.

Cain has been the only presidential candidate to take head on the idea of killing the present tax system and going to a universal flat tax.
Whenever we can manage some how to do that, Cain will have to be honored as a pioneer in political courage.
It would not surprise me if it was the GOP elite that came up with the personal claims against Cain. They and the Dims see the tax system as the modern version of necessary political patronage - handing out gifts and penalties to Americans through the tax system. They cannot imagine buying enough votes any other way.
If I could go to his funeral, I would sure like to.
Also, through Cain, Ben Carson and others like them, I have seen how racist the Dims are and Conservatives are not. Dims favored Obama because of the color of his skin. Conservatives liked Cain just as they like Ben Carson without consideration of the color of their skin, but for the ideas they champion. I think Conservatives believe in Martin Luther King’s dream much more then do “Liberals” (are there really any left???), Progressives and Leftists - judging someone by the content of their character not the color of their skin.
He was my primary choice that cycle, until leftist lies that threatened to affect his family caused him to drop out.
