Crisis of Crises by Herman Cain
By: Herman Cain
March 6th, 2011
After two months of the new 112th Congress, they and the president have managed to keep the government going for another two weeks. Wow! There’s only six-and-a-half more months to go in this fiscal year. They are really on the ball!
The workers who landed one of those 192,000 jobs created last month to bring the unemployment rate down to 8.9 percent have got to be celebrating. I am happy for them and hope they are not so deep in debt that they can still avoid personal bankruptcy. We now only have to create another 14,808,000 jobs for the unlucky ones who could not find a job because the economy is still stalled.
He’ll pick up the tab.
Or how about those two war ships the president dispatched to the Middle East? That ought to scare those dictators into doing the right thing. And maybe the war ships will convince Gadhafi that the United States will get the United Nations to do something other than issue another toothless verbal condemnation. Maybe Gadhafi will stop killing his own people in defiance of those wanting him gone.
The turmoil in the Middle East has already caused gasoline prices to rise, and they will continue to rise. We can’t blame the Obama administration for that because Former President George W. Bush should have developed an energy-independence strategy.
Then, President Obama would not have to make any decisions during our coming energy crisis.
Yes! An energy crisis is coming! Because we have shut down the development of the energy resources we have right here in the United States of America.
We are the OPEC of natural gas and coal, but we don’t want to offend the environmental wackos who don’t believe we can develop these resources responsibly. And while we are creating this self-induced energy crisis, let’s continue the moratorium on oil drilling in the Gulf, while China, Cuba and the rest of the countries in the world (who do not like us) suck as much oil out of that area as they can before our so-called government leaders wake up.
Even though ObamaCare is a disaster, the administration wants to roll it out anyway. Never mind that the majority of the American people are against it and that a majority of the states have joined in a lawsuit to declare it unconstitutional.
In 2008, President Obama said deficits don’t matter. We now have the highest national debt in our history and we are on the brink of national financial collapse. By the way, how are those “shovel ready” projects working out for us?
If the possibility of a government shutdown, out of control federal spending, a chronically high unemployment rate, a stalled economy, failed stimulus spending, the uncertainty about the crisis in the Middle East and the coming energy crisis do not get your attention, then how about the recently released Government Accounting Office (GAO) report?
The Government Accounting Office has identified over $200 billion in government waste and overlapping programs. In Washington, that’s not real money because it’s not their money. But around kitchen tables, where real people struggle to make ends meet, that’s $2,500 for a family of four to help pay for the increasing cost of gasoline and other necessities.
If my sarcasm was not so close to the truth and the facts about the crises we face were not so compelling, then we could all sleep soundly at night. Unfortunately, I can’t, because it is not about us. It’s about our grandchildren.
We have a crisis of crises. This is insane!
If we keep sending the same people to Washington who keep doing the same things and expecting a different result, then we ARE insane.
We need to send somebody else to the White House. We need a new kind of leadership. In fact, we just need some leadership.

Herman Cain Makes Yahoo News!
Mr Cain is creating a buzz in Iowa.
Yahoo:Former pizza chain CEO mulling presidential run
DES MOINES, Iowa – Most Americans haven't heard of Herman Cain, the former head of a chain of pizza restaurants who is considering seeking the Republican presidential nomination.
But in Iowa, home to the nation's first presidential caucuses, Cain has caught the attention of conservative activists influenced by the tea party movement who aren't bothered by candidates who have succeeded in business but have never held a public office.
"He's creating quite a buzz," said former Iowa Republican Party Chairman Richard Schwarm. "He is someone Iowa caucus-goers are going to take very seriously."

In Defense of American Exceptionalism
[b]In Defense of American Exceptionalism
From the American Spectator
By Herman Cain from the March 2011 issue
There is no denying it: America is the greatest country in the world. We are blessed with unparalleled freedoms and boundless prosperity that for generations have inspired an innovative and industrious people. America is exceptional.
American Exceptionalism is the standard that our laws reflect the understanding that we are afforded certain God-given rights that can never be taken away. We know that God, not government, bestows upon us these inalienable rights, and because of that, they must not be compromised by the whims of man. This makes us a unique nation, a nation that remains, as President Ronald Reagan once said, "a model and hope to the world."
Unfortunately, some politicians have either forgotten or chosen to ignore the glory of our founding. In April 2009, President Obama told a reporter in Strasbourg, France: "I believe in American exceptionalism, just as I suspect that the Brits believe in British exceptionalism and the Greeks believe in Greek exceptionalism." In saying this, the president implied that American Exceptionalism is nothing terribly special and instead simply chalked it up to the romanticism of patriotism.
Americans know better. We see American Exceptionalism not as an empty cry for nationalism, but instead, the blessings of God that keep our nation strong, independent, and free. We see the American story as one of tenacity and triumph, not as one inherently flawed and in need of rewriting. We recognize the times we have stumbled but are assured that it is not due to weakness of our foundation, but instead, the imperfection of mankind.
Most importantly, conservatives see America as exceptional because of our shared belief in the dignity and creativity of the individual. We know that it is innately human to work, to risk, and to dream. We understand that these virtues, coupled with the conditions American Exceptionalism provides, allow us to enjoy the economic and social mobility that other countries envy. Liberals lament that such success wasn't guaranteed.
At its very core, progressivism rejects American Exceptionalism. Progressives view the Constitution as a roadblock, as they seek an unlimited federal government with more authority than the states and more power than the people. Because they strive for a limitless federal government, they are willing to sacrifice the rugged individualism that has made this nation exceptional in exchange for the collective salvation they believe a vast government provides. And the darling of the progressive movement is, of course, President Obama.
"Let me be clear," President Obama: America is the greatest nation on Earth. We are not just any other nation, and we are certainly not analogous to our friends in Europe and elsewhere. Our exceptionalism is forever ingrained in our founding documents that spell out exactly the roles of the federal government in relation to individual rights and states' rights.
Truth is eternal, and simply ignoring the truths of the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution won't make them go away. And frankly, there are enough Americans, including me, who love it and our country far too much to allow our exceptionalism to be bartered for further expansion of an already out-of-control federal government.
