Who Let Alan
Keyes Out Of The Crazy House? Black Star News Editorial
"Watch Alan Keyes classic
comments on YouTube"
Where do the Republicans get these kinds of characters?
Rush Limbaugh; Sean Hannity; Bobby Jindal; and, not to
be outdone, Alan Keyes.
It’s a painful thing to grow up thinking that you’re
brilliant, a genius, because your mother said you were,
only to discover later in life that you’re not so bright
after all.
It’s even more painful when you encounter someone who is
light years smarter than you are, and it drives you off
the cliff. Such is the unfortunate experience of a
familiar perennial candidate, the so-called "ambassador"
Alan Keyes.
In a recent interview, which is now available on
YouTube, Keyes revealed the pain that’s been eating up
at his insides. It’s a wonder that he was able to emit
so much hatred without foaming at the mouth.
"Obama is a radical communist. And I think it's becoming
clear," Keyes, who also maintains that Obama is not a
citizen and is therefore not president of the United
States declared.
"That's what I told people in Illinois and now everybody
realizes it's true. He's going to destroy this country,
and we're either going to stop him or the United States
of America is going to cease to exist."
This sounds to us like a clear threat; how does one
"stop" someone after he has already been elected and
sworn in as president. The Secret Service needs to pay
Keyes a visit so he can clarify what he meant.
His reference to Illinois however is clear; it was to
the 2004 U.S. Senate contest in which Keyes ran against
Barack Obama; a more accurate description would be the
race in which Obama ran over Keyes with a MACK truck.
Obama is an "alleged" president, Keyes contends.
"That's another question," he added, for emphasis. "Is
he president of the United States? According to the
Constitution, in order to be eligible for president you
have to be a natural-born citizen. He has refused to
provide proof that he is, in fact, a natural-born
citizen," Keyes added, claiming that Obama’s relatives
say he was born in Nairobi, Kenya, "So I'm not even sure
he's president of the United States...."
"The person you call 'President Obama' -- and I frankly
refuse to call him that -- at the moment, he is some
kind of an alleged usurper, who is alleged to be someone
who is occupying that office without constitutional
warrant to do so," Keyes, who sometimes goes by the
title "professor," asserted.
This nonsense has even been abandoned by the most
lunatic fringes of the conspiracy theorists movement;
yet the "professor", a man who was once a respected
individual, before he fell off the cliff, is still
peddling it.
Keyes, an utter failure in every election that he has
ever contested, most certainly resents the fact that
this alleged "Kenyan" is so much smarter than he is, and
that millions of Americans have confidence in this
alleged "Kenyan" while millions of Americans turned away
from him.
In fact, perhaps Keyes should have spread the rumor that
he too was Kenyan by birth during his own failed run for
the White House; we might have ended up with a President
Alan Keyes in the White House and maybe Obama would now
be the one spewing crazy hatred like Keyes, instead of
the other way around.
"He is also somebody who has just announced a program
that would essentially destroy the validity of existing
mortgages, and encourage everybody in the country to
stop paying their mortgage because the government is
going to pay it instead," Keyes said, of our "crazy"
president's plan to keep a roof over the heads of
millions of Americans. Apparently, Keyes has been in a
walking coma and may be the only person in the United
States who isn’t aware that millions have lost their
homes, and that millions more may still lose their homes
unless the government spends enough money to create jobs
in time.
And if you think we already have too many Mexicans in
the United States? Well you have something coming at
you, if Obama has his way, since "he's rushing forward
with ideas like destroying our borders, an amnesty bill
that will actually have the American taxpayer footing
the bill for illegals to come to this country to live,
to get housing, and to get everything they want."
"This is insanity," Keyes boomed angrily, and it’s not
at all clear whether he is referring to Obama, or to
himself. "It's as if we have put insane children and
adolescents in charge of our government...."
"Have people gone mad in this country?" Keyes, without
even acknowledging the irony, actually asked. "You don't
have that money. We are claiming that a bankrupt
government can save a bankrupt banking system. Explain
to me how that happens because I think that's
impossible. And the fact that we have just elected an
individual, who may or may not be qualified, and he
presents silly ideas like this and says, 'Let's move
forward now,' and we're all acting like the laws of
economics have been repealed, and we can actually afford
to foot the bill with money nobody's got. This is
insane. It's got to lead to the collapse of our economy,
and it's going to."
It’s clear that Keyes was referring to George Bush and
the last eight years of inept Republican Congressional
control; he just waited too long –eight years—to make
this remark.
Evil President Obama –excuse us Evil "alleged president"
Obama— also is apparently a killer of children,
according to Keyes. "The man is an abomination," the
good ambassador, who wants to protect all of America’s
children, declared angrily. "He is someone who has
actually advocated infanticide; that when babies are the
target of abortion, if they happen to escape the
abortionist's intention and are born alive, he actually
supported the idea that those babies should be set aside
to die. That is a man with such a seared conscience I
can't even understand why anybody in their right mind
would consider him worthy of political support. That's a
violation of conscience that is inconceivable. And even
some of the most hard line pro-abortion people in
America rejected that abomination. And he did not."
Yet the worst is yet to come, and there will be blood in
the streets, under President Obama, unless he’s
"stopped" Keyes warns: "We're in the midst of the
greatest crisis this nation has ever seen. And if we
don't stop laughing about it and deal with it, we're
going to find ourselves in the midst of chaos,
confusion, and civil war. It's time we started acting
like grown-ups...."
Pity all those millions of Americans who voted for Obama
during the primaries and then in the general election;
if only they had listened to Keyes.
Wait; they did listen to Keyes, and they rejected him on
every occasion that he ran for major office. He has run
for President in 1996, 2000, and 2008. He was a
Republican nominee for the U.S. Senate in 1988, 1992,
and 2004.
Keyes can’t really believe that he’s the one who’s sane
and Obama is the nut.
