Patrick J. Buchanan is mostly right when he says that changing demographics is bad news for the Republican party and possibly whites. This is so, because in the next few decades there would come a time when the American state would not be controlled by whites, but by non Caucasians.
The white supremacists of all temperaments are uneasy about all of this. The state was used to enforce and enshrine white supremacy and privilege. The big question is what would happen to white interests when the state is controlled by mostly non-Caucasians.
As Bob Marley would say, "Guiltiness rest on their conscience."

Rush Limbaugh's Big Gaffe
Rush Limbaugh gave a great plug to Ron Paul economic plan. However, Rush made a big gaffe when he said that Ron Paul stole the ideas from him and anonymous Republican or Conservatives.
"Now, these are not really Ron Paul’s ideas. On this program I myself have suggested freezing spending at 2008 levels. Let’s freeze spending back to Clinton’s years. Paul is stealing that idea. Cutting the EPA? We’ve long been an advocate of this … eliminating whole bureaucracies. But nobody on our side has ever seriously proposed this and Ron Paul is going to. "
Ron Paul is older that Rush Limbaugh. In fact, when Ron Paul ran for president on the Libertarian ticket in 1988, he was calling for a reduction in the Federal government and spending. Consequently, prior to 1988 Ron Paul had been advocating Federal spending cuts. Rush Limbaugh is out of place. He needs to respect his elders and get back to reality.

Herman Cain is a Liar
Herman Cain claims not to know about Neocons yet he names only Neocons as individuals who are helping him on policy or who he would have help him. Cain is a liar or worst he is a naive ignoramus as Bill O'Reilly has alluded to. Bolton, Kissinger and McFarland are figurehead Neocons. Perhaps, Cain should read Ayn Rand's "Philosophy: Who Needs It," then he would realize by deduction that he himself advocates a position that he cannot give a name to.
ITEM #1:
MR. GREGORY: But you're familiar with the neoconservative movement?
MR. CAIN: I'm not familiar with the neoconservative movement. I'm familiar with the conservative movement. And let me define what I mean by the conservative movement. Less government, less taxes, more individual responsibility.
ITEM #2:
MR. GREGORY: What about foreign policy advisers? Who, who has shaped your thinking about the U.S. in the world and foreign policy?
MR. CAIN: I've looked at the writings of people like Ambassador John Bolton. I've looked at the writings of Dr. Harry--Henry Kissinger. KT McFarland, someone who I respect. So...
MR. GREGORY: Would you describe yourself as a neoconservative then?

Herman Cain's Dirty Rhetorical Habits
Herman Cain has a nasty rhetorical habit of accusing his prompters of misquoting him or fabricating something he said. The problem is that most of the time Cain does it, he is the one who is being less than truthful. His tactic is obviously to throw his prompter off their ground and a reflective defense mechanism when he is uncomfortable with the replay of his words.
During the Bloomberg TV debate, Herman Cain, said that Ron Paul was misquoting him on the question of whether or not he thought that an audit of the federal reserve was necessary. However, it has been shown that Cain did in fact call Ron Paul supporter ignorant for wanting to audit the fed and suchlike.
Herman Cain was his classic self when he appeared on the October 16th "Meet the Press" Sunday morning talk show with host, David Gregory. The relevant part of the show's transcript is below:
MR. GREGORY: Here's a general question. You said you wouldn't rely on wise men, so-called wise men, when it comes to foreign policy views, although you mentioned Henry Kissinger just a moment ago, that you're familiar with his writings. Generally speaking, you know, what, what you have as a great strength, I think to many, is no government experience. But you have no government experience whatsoever, and you want to do some big things. Explain that vision. I mean, would you bring outsiders in to Washington? Would you eschew the establishment of Washington and do things in a completely different way, maybe like Jimmy Carter?
MR. CAIN: Don't use Jimmy Carter as the example.
MR. GREGORY: Perhaps not ideologically.
MR. CAIN: Not ideological--don't--that's not a good example. Secondly, I don't recall saying I would not use wise men and wise women. My philosophy on...
MR. GREGORY: You wrote that in your book. "I won't lean on so-called `wise men' as other commanders in chief have done."
MR. CAIN: Well, let me explain what that means. I'm going to have a combination of people that are outside government and people that are inside government. As much as I and others talk about many of the problems that are perceived outside of Washington as what's going on inside Washington, D.C., there are some good people inside Washington, D.C., holding elected office that I am going to lean on and I'm going to call upon. But I'm also going to bring in people who understand, understand defining the right problem, knowing how to put--surround yourself with good people, and then putting together the right plans based upon some guiding principles that I have established throughout my career and I will establish as president.
There we have it. Cain always tells his prompter that he can't recall or he did not say that very things that he did say. In the above, Cain admits that he said something he claimed not to recall saying. I reckon the author of Cain's book was the usual ghostwriter.
In the end, Herman Cain's debating style is a liability ton him. Indeed, his dirty rhetorical habit shows that he is easily put on the defensive.

Herman Cain on Illegal Immigrants
According to the NY Times, Herman Cain wants an electrified fence on the border and the use of lethal force if necessary. I would imagine that North Korean border policy has many similarities. The prospect of gunning citizens of a key trading partner and ally is mind boggling. Of course, it may be the hope of Herman Cain to use the fence and armed personnel as a deterrent.
Interestingly, attempting to enter the U.S. illegally is not a capital offence. Therefore, for someone who is running for president to advocate killing illegal immigrants on the border is a disqualification. Yes, Cain mentioned that illegal immigrants have killed Americans once inside the border and that border guards have been attacked. Apart from the self defense and justice his position is deplorable.
UPDATE: Herman Cain said that his plan was a joke on Meet the Press (10/16/2011).

Cain's 9-9-9 plan sounds like Obama's Yes-We-Can
Cain's 9-9-9 plan sounds like Obama's Yes-We-Can. By this I mean, it would be sweet to the mouth but bitter to the belly. The slogan lulls the unsuspecting electorate to sleep with its simplicity. However, the tax code is not an issue for simpletons. Moreover, giving the federal government an additional revenue stream, which it could raise is a very dangerous.
Cain says he would veto any bill that increases any individual 9% tax when he is president. Someone rightly asked if Cain would be president forever. Cain further said that he would insist that any move to increase the tax be done with a super majority in the Senate or whatever. Cain should know that Congress has a poor approval rating for a reason: rational distrust by the electorate.
The CS Monitor has a telling article entitled: Herman Cain 9-9-9 sticker shock? 18% sales tax possible in some states.
I believe 9-9-9 is a trojan horse for big government. Surely, such a tax plan would reduce effective demand in many states.
