Bingo. Everyone I know loves Cain. This is why they support him.
In an answer to Lawarence O'donnel (the self-described socialist) Herman Cain used the word "dream" in a sentence which I think needs to be expounded on.
We have a phony president spouting Hope and Change which, as we now know, means to grow government, take from those who have and give to those who don't, and dictate to the rest how they must run their lives- from a federal level at that (bypassing states and the 10th amendment).
I was thinking about what it means to Dream before Herman gave his answer, before Larry-the-lizard asked his question.
Everybody dreams, it's natural. Some societies will allow you to follow your dreams, others will not- in fact, if it's Islam your dream could get you killed by a religious fanatic, all in the name of God (Allah).
Dreams are reality with a dash of fantasy to make them seem feasible- thus dreamable. Some societies allow and encourage them. Steve Jobs lived in one and did quite well. Talent+risk+dream+smarts can payoff in such places and everybody is better off. He wouldn't have lasted two months in Iran. Not to pick on Muslims exclusively, the Chinese and Russians have a way of throwing water on dreamers (and acid, cement, bullets,etc).
MLK Jr. had a 'dream' that ended-up costing him his life, but it was a non-selfish type of dream- one that invited the masses to participate. He'd have done much better had he simply found a way for blacks to participate as contributors to society while earning a cut for himself. Eventually, people would have recognized what blacks could contribute and would have learned to overlook skin color, in favor of talent.(see NFL, NBA)
Instead, our society (with Obama as president) continues to pursue equality and all that it entails at the expense of exceptionalism. Which brings us back to Dreams and why we will not succeed without them.
I dreamt that Sarah Palin would be our next president 'till that icy bucket of water was poured on my head the other day. Some laughed, some snickered, but I was left with this feeling of dreaming that wouldn't go away. It's still here. I still have a dream for America that will restore those values (incentives, rewards, etc.) that we are blessed to have the freedom to pursue.
No matter what Obama and the street occupying punks (but I repeat myself) say, it's still OK to be a millionaire, or at least try. These bastards are trying to kill the dreamer, the risk-taker, and the talented, who, by their efforts to better themselves, end up bettering the lives of everyone else in the process.
America IS a dream and she is on life support. We need all hands on deck, all good men must come to the aid of their country, she's Code Blue- all available personnel to her room, STAT! Bless you and all who work to save America and save the dream. Your ancestors would be proud, your children prouder. She is in your hands, literally.
