Wall Street Mobs Play into Herman Cain's Hands
American Thinker ^ | 10/13/11 | C. Edmund Wright

Posted on 10/13/2011 5:57:48 AM PDT by Evil Slayer

If anyone needed more evidence that the stars seem aligned for Herman Cain's campaign for presidency, then I submit the logically challenged Wall Street protestors. The intellectual bankruptcy and childish behavior of the protesters provide a jaw-dropping contrast to Cain, whose "only in America" success story gives breath to his pro-liberty and pro-America message, not to mention his

This stark juxtaposition gives Cain a boost simply by its existence. The very nature of the gatherings -- the "Occupy" mobs versus the Tea Party rallies -- give us a glimpse into our collective choice of futures.

Imagine: if our nation was filled with folks like the protesters, there would be no civil society, no economy, and no opportunity -- except for the chance of a power-grab by totalitarians. Trash, feces, and bitterness would dominate the landscape. Property would be something that you take from others, and government bureaucrats would be the main purveyors of that theft.

The mob's understanding of reality is so stunted that the iPhones and blankets and food and even the condoms they depend on are products of a free-market capitalist system they want to demolish. These are intellectual children -- and a society must have intellectual adults, or it will fail.

On the other hand, if our nation was filled with Tea Party followers, the country would be clean, prosperous, and polite. There would be significant emphasis on leaving the country better for the next generation. Opportunity would be there for those who would but pursue it. Property would be something you have the chance to earn and keep. Government would be limited and certainly not central to our lives -- indeed, government would protect us from the likes of the mobs. From what I can tell, no one would mistake a police car for a port-a-potty.

The main utility of these mobs to the Democrats so far as I can see is to provide for enough future leftist street mob agitation to scare Mitt Romney and jelly-spined Republicans in Congress off of serious austerity and efforts to dismantle the liberal machine.

Nice contrast ping!

This is why Cain makes the race interesting.

You couldnt do this with Romney.

Stand by for the usual whining naysayers “ohhh Cain doesn’t have a chance, Cain doesn’t have any money, Cain doesn’t have any organization”.

While Cain’s numbers continue to climb, and the support for this gentleman whose life is an American success story, becomes even more rock solid.

That’s aways been at the center of the Boy Scouts when they go anywhere as a group, particularly when on a camping trip.

Lets take a moment to compare and contrast the difference from these “protesters” and the Tea Party assemblies.

Tea Party - Thousands gather at the washington monument mall in DC. No Arrests, very little mess to clean up, children present, no violence.

This Group - Zhitting on police cars, sex in public, drug use, violence, hundreds of arrests.

Tea Party message - Stop government spending, reduce the size of government, stop over govmnt regulation, cede more power back to the states.

This Group - .....I’m not sure...Tax the rich (punish them?), down with the corporations? Throw rich people in jail? ...I just do not know what action they are trying to influence.

I like Cain more and more everytime I see him.

He seems comfortable, in control and genuine. He can obviously manage business, peaple and problems.

So far, he’s my man.

If I beleived Perry were tougher on immigration and not as susceptible to the political winds, I would be more supportive of him.

Great article by FReeper C. Edmund Wright. Thanks for posting.

Yes, the contrast is vivid, full of irony and has the makings of a landslide in November, 2012.

Herman Cain has the right attitude and message for renewal and restoration of America, her strength, her economy, and much, much closer adherance to and reverence for her constitution.

With the endorsement yesterday of Art Laffer, for Cain's 9-9-9 plan (Laffer is recognized as one of the brain child's of supply side economics), momentum continues to rise.

I like Cain PRECISELY because he is not a politician.
I have grown to despise career politicians, with a few notable exceptions, like DeMint, and Hunter.....and even they are slightly flawed....LOL!

This country is great when we are a nation of “producers.” We have fallen off the path but Cain is the one who can bring us back.

Cain seems comfortable in his own skin and is his own man. Just keeps improving.

While I like what Perry had done in Texas and was admittedly excited when he announced; his puffed out chest, thumbs up gestures turned me off. Just not a regular guy. Actually winced when he walked to the podium the first few times with the pointing, thumbs up, chest out, suit too tight moves - thought he looked like a poser. Listen, Mitt is a poser too, but he has it down and is more subtle about it.

Don't know if Cain has the organization to pull it off, but so far, he seems like the real deal. Would love one of the other candidates drop out so he could take over their organizations (Bachman??).

What fools you are! You have eyes but can not see!

Clearly these protest have been cooked up as part of the master plan of the Romney/Cain Cadre to distract us and split the conservative vote and thus secure the nomination for Mitt! Wake up!

(sarc)

Hey, I don’t know about the rest of you capitalist loosers, but I long for the days of wearing my government issued olive drab clothing and tending my government issued one acre of land with my government issued wooden hoe to feed my government issued 1 child family.
