I have heard Alan Keyes called a carpetbagger because he is from Maryland. But I have not heard Obama called a carpet bagger and this confuses me. Obama was not born in Illinois, he was born in Hawaii. I bet Alan Keyes was born closer to Illinois.
Obama's mother was a white woman from Kansas, his father was African, Keyes' roots lie in slaves brought here from Africa, sold into slavery by Obama's ancestors, yet Obama better represents Illinois blacks.
Obama was raised a Muslim like his father and his step father who moved him it Indonesia where he was raised as a Muslim. Keyes is a Catholic. Obama claims to be Christian, a member of the United Church of Christ, check it out, they are not Baptists.
Obama went to school on the East Coast and returned to Illinois to begin his political career in Chicago in the 1990's. He is a teacher. He worked to get Bill Clinton elected. They say Illinois is a liberal state and Kerry will win here.
I do not know but from where I sit Obama is the carpetbagger, not Alan Keyes.
BTW...
Islam opposes abortion.
I guess Obama isn't a Muslim, either...
You can't believe everything you read, but moonies really do control the international airport cartel.
Because I'm a conservative. Not a bigot. You have obviously confused the two
He's a muslim, not church of christ... and there you go again, trying to find racism where none exists.. I admire the intelligence of men like Alan Keyes and Walter Williams, I don't admire generations of families on welfare trying to maintain the status quo by buying into the plantation mentality of the democratic party... i've always been curious...why are you even here on FR?
No, just whatever wacky religion Obama believes that would lead him to vote to kill babies.
When did I attack whites? Where have I attacked any white people?
You're a bit touchy about the subject of race, I see.
Every post of yours on this thread has been about it.
Check out his website Biography.
Even the Republicans are voting for Obama. I think he's up by about 40 or so points.
I wish I had the slightest clue what you mean, but I'm afraid I don't. So far all I've gleaned is that you want to play fast and loose with the facts, because you think your particular twists on the truth are strong emotional arguements.
Knock it off with the name calling or you're off to the cornfield.
BUMP!
But Muslims oppose abortion, and Obama's pro-abort.
Obama's voting record isn't very muslim. His voting recording indicates everything but.
Wrong. Many Muslims/believers in Islam believe in strapping bombs to themselves and killing, let's say, women who are pregnant and everyone else standing in the vicinity.
He says he's Church of Christ. Why won't you take him at his word that he's Church of Christ?
i've always been curious...why are you even here on FR?
To raise the IQ level.
On threads like these, it's very much needed.
For clarity, his voting record indicated a mercenary mindsight. Very clintonesque, very flexible as the need arises, very expedient. Not at all the hallmarks of radical islam.
Woooooooooo Hoooooo.....the calvalry arrives!!!!
Sorry, your attempt to evade the issue is as inept as it is irrelevant. Abortion is illegal in Islamic countries. Obama supports abortion. Therefore, he's no Muslim.
