Keyes went to IL because no one else was willing to stand in the way of a wicked mans ascension to power, all the while knowing that he would have the political and media establishments directing their power against him.So the people numbed by corruption wanted more of it, and re-elected Blago.

See my tag line. I’ve given up on party loyalties. Which part of the article did you find most offensive? (or unbelievable)

More specifically from Alinsky’s “Rules for Radicals”.
I don’t recall the precise wording, but it is to find a flaw in someone and bring it out to discredit them. This is especially easy to do with conservatives as we actually DO care if someone enhaled or not. (Or messy divorces, or accepted a gift, etc.).
To: TheConservativeParty
ntil I read the article today, I did not know the extent of the vile actions Mr.Keyes endured from Obamas political machine. I'm glad that he took the time to write this very personal piece then, for that very reason.

I think Alan Keyes is right.
O doesnt care about winning the right way. They plan to entrench their side forever. ZANU-PF USA

It should be obvious to anyone paying the slightest attention that Obama cares naught for right and wrong, only power is meaningful to him.

Clinton went to NY because of her insatiable ambition, knowing she would have the political/media establishment in her corner.
Keyes went to IL because no one else was willing to stand in the way of a wicked mans ascension to power, all the while knowing that he would have the political and media establishments directing their power against him. bttt Those who are incapable of understanding this fundamental truth are already consumed by the corruption that threatens to engulf us all.

How sad to see all the criticism directed against this good man. All anyone needs to know of Alan Keyes, of his conservative credentials, ethics, wisdom, is available online in his writings.
No better example than his comments on Terri Schiavo:

I’ve never read ‘rules for radicals’ sorry. While I agree with most of the assertions Keyes makes here, I would never trust the guy with an elective office.
JMHO.

Because of this, Ryan was forced out of the race by public opinion.Perhaps, but I think it was all mock outrage. The politically suicidal Illinois GOP ran by loser Judy Barr Topinka was Ryan's downfall. Ryan was the right candidate in the wrong state. It's a shame what they did to that good man. That's about the time I started watching Obama. He was being groomed for the national stage even at that time. The machine was already behind him and he couldn't lose against anyone.

already consumed by the corruption that threatens to engulf us all I think that is a very accurate description of almost all of our "name" political leadership now.
That's why my hope lies in God and with the regular folks who don't have a name necessarily, but who do have a firm grasp on America's core principles and the courage to act in concert to restore respect for them.
The presidency is very powerful, but not as powerful as the LORD or as the American people.

I would vote for Mr Keyes for two reasons. I believe what he writes and what he speaks. Secondly, my ex father-in-law a retired educator, thought Keyes was the epitome of evil.

Keyes opened called Obama a Marxist, and was roundly criticized for it, even by so-called Republicans.
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Keyes is an honest man of courage.
We shouldn't let a little criticism get in the way of truth.
We must call them fascist Marxists and communists. This puts our traitorous enemies in the defensive position of not only explaining why they are not Marxists, but why they are not fascists as well.

There have been a number of times when Obama has CLEARLY used Alinsky techniques and methods. When he denied knowledge of how radical Rev. Jeremiah Wright and Bill Ayers were. When he tried to appear very calm and moderate on
The O'Reilly Factor. His targeting of Rush Limbaugh to instigate "divide and conquer" tactics against the Republicans and conservatives.

Right now he is using the street agitation and rabble rousing techniques to try to drum up support for his Stimulus bill. He starts yelling and fomenting class warfare. It is like Lenin, Castro, Che Guevara, and Mao. Like a Third World dictator.

I guess you didn’t read the last part of my post?
To: EternalVigilance; Elsie
Fouad Ajami pointed this out during the campaign, about Obama shouting and yelling at cheering crowds in hysteria:
Obama and the Politics of Crowds.
"There is something odd -- and dare I say novel -- in American politics about the crowds that have been greeting Barack Obama on his campaign trail. Hitherto, crowds have not been a prominent feature of American politics. We associate them with the temper of Third World societies. We think of places like Argentina and Egypt and Iran, of multitudes brought together by their zeal for a Peron or a Nasser or a Khomeini...The morning after the election, the disappointment will begin to settle upon the Obama crowd. Defeat -- by now unthinkable to the devotees -- will bring heartbreak. Victory will steadily deliver the sobering verdict that our troubles won't be solved by a leader's magic."
