Herman Cain: A Final
Word
By Lloyd Marcus
I would not blame Herman Cain if he said, Lloyd, I know you mean well,
brother. However, the relentless vitriolic media attacks against
me have finally subsided since I dropped out of the presidential
race. My family and I are finally having some peace. So why
on earth would you bring up my name again?
Well, in a nutshell, I just did not like the way the whole “Cain thing”
went down. Also, we live in a fast-paced news cycle, “carelessly
nuke a person’s life and in two days everyone has moved on,” disposable
world. Herman Cain’s courageous bid to serve his country deserves
more than “Cain...wasn’t he the black dude sex fanatic who ran for
president as a Republican?”
OK, Cain is gone, and we conservatives must focus on selecting our
candidate to defeat Obama in 2012. I got it. But it breaks
my heart, seeing what happened to this “good man.” Cain was
attacked from both sides of the aisle. A few conservative pundits
even accused Cain of not seriously seeking the Oval Office, but instead
simply seeking self-promotion.
Please do not get me wrong. I realize that playing with the big
boys in the national arena is tough. I just did not realize how
much tougher and how blatantly unfair it is for conservatives. As
a conservative seeking to win the Republican presidential nomination,
Cain endured a deep rectal vetting not required even of our current
president. As a matter of fact, we still know very little about
Obama’s history.
Obama is a liberal. Thus, the liberal media deems probing Obama’s
history and associations, and even using his middle name, to be racist.
As a black conservative myself, I was excited about black America
meeting Herman Cain -- a brilliant black businessman who loves God and
country. Cain’s message was a breath of fresh air, a striking
contrast to the absurd victim- and entitlement-minded garbage coming
out of the mouths of too many successful rich blacks who say, Yes, we
are multimillionaires, but America is still racist, sucks, and owes us.
Unfortunately, here is how this great black role model was introduced
to much of black America. My 84-year-old dad phoned me: “Do you
know this Herman McCain who is involved in all these sex
scandals?” I replied, “His name is Herman Cain, dad.” I
then proceeded to tell my dad about the great man I know.
Think about this, folks: Cain’s candidacy and reputation, in the minds
of many, was destroyed by unproven “he said, she said”
allegations. Please do not come back at me arguing about whether
or not Cain was qualified for the office. I am not talking about
that. I am talking about the no-holds-barred,
nothing-is-off-limits, over-the-top, relentless campaign to destroy
this decent man.
Good Lord -- the allegations went from “possible” sexual gestures to
Cain supposedly forcibly reaching under a woman’s skirt. Since
Cain has dropped out of the race, all of his accusers have
vanished. Imagine that.
Something has gone terribly wrong in our country, folks.
Meanwhile, the mainstream liberal media are deaf, dumb, and blind
regarding all of the huge elephants in America’s living room
unfavorable to Obama. Why? Because Obama is their rare
Teflon ticket to making all of their progressive, anti-America, and
socialistic dreams come true.
While I “feel” for brother Cain, I am fully confident that Herman Cain
will be OK. Remember, Cain beat cancer. Using his faith,
character, and infectious optimism, Cain will find a way to make
extraordinary lemonade using the left’s lemons (their evil attacks
against him).
Wow -- I may have just come up with a brilliant capitalistic...er,
sorry Occupiers...entrepreneurial marketing idea. Famous Amos
sells his cookies, Rush Limbaugh sells his tea -- how about Herman Cain
Lemonade?
Brother Cain, I just want to say one more time how much millions of us
truly appreciated and thank you for stepping up to save our great
country. You led the pack for a reason: your business sense,
optimism, character, and love for America. You and your family
remain in our prayers.
Another reason why I know Cain will be OK is because the Bible,
referring to Christians, says that “[n]o weapon formed against us shall
prosper.”
I am sure that the left, Obama administration, and the liberal media
were dancing to the classic Martha Reeves and the Vandellas hit song,
“Dancing in the Street,” the day Cain withdrew from the race. But
mark my words: God “ain’t” done with Herman Cain. Not only will
his extraordinary life and story continue to positively impact
millions, but his success will reach unprecedented levels.
Take that, you arrogant, godless left-wingers. Lemonade, anyone?
