Alan Keyes, a 2008 presidential candidate who is also a plaintiff in one of the many lawsuits challenging Barack Obama's constitutional eligibility to occupy the Oval Office, charged at a pro-life rally that unless Obama's social and economic policies are stopped, the United States as we know it is over.
Keyes' comments were part of an interview with a reporter from KHAS-TV at a fundraiser for the AAA Crisis Pregnancy Center in Hastings, Neb.
"Obama is a radical communist, and I think it is becoming clear. That is what I told people in Illinois and now everybody realizes it's true," said Keyes, who ran unsuccessfully against Obama for the state's open Senate seat in 2004. "He is going to destroy this country, and we are either going to stop him or the United States of America is going to cease to exist."
Keyes also reasserted his belief that unless the question of Obama's eligibility to serve as president is answered definitively, America may face the startling crisis of an executive branch run by a "usurper."
"Is he president of the United States?" Keyes asked the reporter of Obama. "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.”
"I'm not sure he's even president of the United States," Keyes continued, "neither are many of our military people now who are now going to court to ask the question, 'Do we have to obey a man who is not qualified under the constitution?' We are 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."
Keyes, who stated he refuses even to refer to Obama as president, labeled the man in the Oval Office as "somebody who is kind of an alleged usurper, who is alleged to be someone who is occupying that office without constitutional warrant to do so."
Keyes' comments included harsh criticism of Obama's policies on immigration, abortion, and the mortgage crisis.
He concluded the interview by railing against the president's push for hundreds of billions of dollars in government economic stimulus spending.
"We are claiming that a bankrupt government can save a bankrupt banking system", Keyes said.
Amen...and spot on as one would expect from either Sam or John Admas.
They shouldn’t have voted for the color of his skin but for the content of his character. Seems like the voters forgot about the character part.
Obama is a student of Saul Alinsky.

It’s all a tragicomedy, truly theater of the absurd.
Funny how that only applies to Reaganites, isn't it?
Alan needs to be an intregal part of [...] the overall effort to turn this around.
True statesmen, and true Conservatives are the only way to turn this around. The choice is before you though, in that the present Republican system will never give you a Keyes, or a Hunter, and will never pay more than lip service to Conservative ideals.
As FR is the headwaters of the Conservative grassroots on the internet, we can choose to stand for, and back the truths we believe in, and make them happen, or we can pragmatically back the posers who have absconded with what is rightfully our name.
Dr. Keyes stands regardless. His losses bear witness to the hypocrisy of those who would call themselves Conservative.
I agree with Keyes because if we fail to clear out Congress in 2010 and God forbid Obama is re-elected in 2012, our Republic will be reduced to a socialist state. However, I sense a growing groundswell of popular opinion against Obama and Congress and If he is re-elected I could see an armed insurrection or coupe taking him out of office.
This is the only way we will ever get the attention of our elected officiala and the masses- protest!

Freedoms first has recently received permission to hold our protest in Washington DC. Our protest will now be held at the lincoln Memorial Reflections Pool in front of the Lincoln memorial ,on a date that will be released on feb 12 2009.
We find this very interesting because just two weeks earlier Washington told us we could no protest in DC for at least a year and a half . But the day the spendulus bill passes we get a call from Washington inviting us with a choice of dates and locations. Folks we take this as a sign that our country if starting to realise the mistake they have made with putting Obama in office.
We will have live speakers and other entertainment for you.
WE would like to see 1 million supporters attend this protest. It is time to take our country back and make our voices heard.
Why are we protesting ?
1. To get the attention of the mainstream media.
2. To demand That Obama Provide proof that he is eligible to be president.
3. To demand that Congress and the Supreme court uphold our constitution.
4. To inform the public on the issue of Obama’s ineligibility to be president of the USA.
5. To demand that they can not take our constitutional rights away.
6. To say no to abortions.
Please take the time to sign up so we have an idea of how many people we have attending and to get update emails so you know what to do , where to meet , where to park and what is happening so on and so forth.
Thank you for your attention and patriotism

Dear Friends,
We are moving forward on our rally in Washington D C. We are working non stop in
preparations for this historical event to be held at the Washington Monument on Sept. 12th
and 13th of this year.
Almost a half a million people have signed up thus far. As for the time, The million man march that took place a few years age took over 2 years to organize, we are trying to push this through as fast as we can. To protest in DC you have to have a permit and have approval to use a certain piece of land.
We called ahead of filing for these things. September 12&13 were the next available days they had.
The other org resistnet.com which was putting together a march for May 30 didn’t do this so they were refused their permit now they are joining with our group. So, we are doing this the absolutely as soon we can.
As you well know, there are Monumental costs for this Monumental event.
We understand that your pockets are not as full as they were last year at this time. There
is little left after we pay our bills that enable us to survive these barren times.
You know what is coming next, The begging part for you to look solely in your hearts for
what we feel may be the most profound and important outcry for real American patriots.
The plans are bigger than you could ever imagine and to successfully pull such a large
event off, we need your presence, we need your help, we need your prayers, we need your
assistance and sadly we must humble ourselves and ask for you to dig down in those almost
empty pockets to help us have a successful rally.
We must get our money into the bank so it can begin to build with interest, so that we can
begin to order for the event as we must pay deposits on anything that we need.
WE ARE HOPING THAT YOU WILL BE ABLE TO DONATE A MINIMUM OF $20.00 (anything more would be
greatly appreciated)
Some of our expenses are as follows.
1. Buses and shuttles will be provided to transport you from your hotels to the on site
rally.
2. Tents to provide shelter for our entertainers and guest speakers. First Aid Station
with an RN Nurse on duty along with an ambulance to be standing by for emergencies should
they arise. A tent for sale of T SHIRTS and assorted merchandise including Flags,(made in
America), hats and other memorabilia . What better way to remember this historical event.
A tent to store emergency water and other supplies should they be needed. A welcome tent
for you to pic up flyer’s with information of scheduled times for our speakers and
entertainment events and other important information including restaurants and areas of
interest, etc.
3. We are planning to have at least ONE THOUSAND porta potties.
4. Accounting fees and set up fees so we have full disclosure of where all donations go.
5. On hand funds to pay for those things we know we surely will forget and the need to be
able to pick them up quickly without worry of where we are going to get the money from .
6. Newspaper adds and notices about our march, and other publicity costs for this event.
7. Printing costs, signs, etc.
8. We must hire additional security other than the security provided by the park police.
We want this to be safe for you and your family .
WE NEED YOUR HELP SO WE CAN DO THIS. SO WE CAN BE PROUD OF HOW WE DID IT.. SO WE CAN
PRESENT THE VISUAL OF MILLIONS COMING TOGETHER.
WE WANT OUR AMERICA BACK. SADLY THESE DREAMS DO NOT COME EASILY OR FREELY.
WONT YOU HELP US PLEASE?????
WE WILL CONTINUE TO SEND UP UPDATES FOR EACH DAY WE HAVE NEW INFORMATION. WE ARE VERY
EXCITED THAT SO MANY PEOPLE HAVE CONTACTED US. THIS IS GROWING LARGER EVERY DAY.
FIRST AND FOREMOST AT THIS TIME, WE NEED TO GET A BASE OF FINANCES SO WE CAN GET STARTED
WITH RESERVATIONS AND PAY DEPOSITS FOR THOSE THINGS WE DESPERATELY NEED .
We also need YOU... physical YOU... we are asking for volunteers to work our tents and
commit to some important, needed jobs, facilitating and overseeing some of the most
important tasks , so this can be a successful rally.
It is always most uncomfortable to ask for financial help when we are in financial
disaster ourselves.
Understand please, we know there may be some of you who can NOT donate because of your
financial situations. WE WANT YOU TO STILL COME AND BE WITH US. WE NEED YOUR PRESENCE!!!!!
WE WILL BE UNITED, CHRISTIAN, JEW, BUDDHIST, HINDU, ATHEIST, BLACK, AND WHITE... WE WILL
BE ONE. ONE OF MANY WHO STAND AS PATRIOTIC AMERICANS DEMANDING OUR VOICES BE HEARD AND
DEMANDING THAT BARACK HUSSEIN OBAMA ABIDE BY THE CONSTITUTION OF THE UNITED STATES OF
AMERICA.
WE DEMAND THE TRANSPARENCY HE PROMISED !!!!!!!!

I know of nobody who wants one, and if there are, they are in the absolute bare fringe minority. Any sane person, particularly who has been touched by war, does not want one.
But not wanting one, and being willing to do as much as can be done to prevent one, is not the same as indicting that under not circumstances whatsowever will one participate in one.
Such an absolute statment is as dangerous to liberty, IMHO, as anyone who seeks and desires such a course.
If the other side overthrew the constitution, began rounding up dissidents because they used free speech to oppose them, and instituted tyranny in this nation, then by God I would particpate in one, not because I want to...but precisely because, if I value liberty, if I value the future for my kids and grandkids, I would be left with no choice at that point...and that is precisely what the 2nd amendment is about and the pols need to understand this...as much as we all want to avoid it at almost any cost...they have to know that those costs will not include the cost of life or liberty.
Sam Adams had words in this regard in his time for those who under no circumstance would lift up their hands to assist those involved in the fight...and God forbid that it wver comes to a fight...and may we all work our hearts out to aavoid any such evenuality. Nevertheless, he understood well the consequence of letting a tyrant know that under no circumstance would a group of people resist that tyrant and was unwilling (along with the other founders) of countenancing such a course...
"If ye love wealth better than liberty, the tranquility of servitude better than the animating contest of freedom...go home from us in peace. We ask not your counsels nor arms. May your chains set lightly upon you."- Samuel Adams
You said — “I see two problems with this statement.”
Okay, then — just to start off — that might be a major problem with the Republican Party, then... (just a comment to “get started”...) :-)
—
So, continuing with what you said — “First off, I agree that getting “people” to change their minds and vote for Republicans is a good idea but it would only work if the people who voted for Zero were in fact real people. I propose that a much larger percentage than we might suspect, actually consists of “Made Up” people. In other words vote fraud. In my opinion, it is nigh impossible to convince someone who doesn’t exist to change anything. Add to that ACORN getting about $5b in the “Stimulus” bill. How many additional votes will that buy I wonder.”
Well, I’ve proposed before, a solution for voter fraud. I say to get a National Voter ID card, with a person’s picture on it, and then enter into a national database, in realtime, when that person votes. If it’s detected at any other voting precinct that this person has voted already, then the “additional vote” is immediately denied.
I would propose getting to work on that one, right away.
But, additionally, I would like to see (from anyone or from anywhere...) some studies and specific numbers and/or polls or “whatever” that puts some real specifics and facts to this “voter fraud”. I want to see the extent of it and what someone has come up with. I hear and see a lot of statement posted to this effect, but I don’t see specific studies and/or something with solid numbers to back up the posts to that effect.
Of course, there are anecdotal accounts of fraud, and I’ve seen the news accounts of them. What I’m talking about is not anecdotal accounts, but studies that give “hard numbers” and specifics, so I can attach some significance to the anecdotal accounts. So far, with the anecdotal accounts, all I have are isolated stories in which anyone is free to draw any conclusion that they want, depending on their own political persuasion.
—
And lastly you were saying — “Second, I am not sure that there are any Conservative republicans on deck for the 2010 House and Senate races. It would/will take a “Real Conservative” with a fire in their guts to reunite the conservatives and fight the corruption. Don’t see any now and if they are not out there now, they probably won’t make it by 2010.”
Well, now that would be a *major problem* wouldn’t it?!!
If we don’t have anyone who can “stand up” and “qualify” — then we’re in a big mess all right... It would seem that (in this case), we’re going the way of the “Last of the Mohicans” and we’ll all be “bye-bye” pretty soon...
I would hope that this is not the case. But, if it is, then it would seem to indicate the *current nature* and “political persuasion” of the American voting public, and not a problem (consequently) in the Republican Party. If one is “dwindling” and no longer really represents the mass of the voting public (theoretically speaking now...), then one has to question whether they should remain “viable” in that situation.
If one disagrees and says that the Republicans *do represent* the majority of the voting public — then obviously the Republicans are not doing a good enough job in their political efforts.
I believe each of us must do the same and pray that we will, and that we will hearken unto Alan's words and plea, as well as those that well up in our own hearts on behalf of our wives, children and posterity to do so.
Well you know they have to show themsleves how “tolerant” they are. It is all about their feelings.
Political means, of course. Anything else would be just plain stupid, as has always been demonstrated in such cases - especially in a law-abiding country.
Well, “in short” — it pans out this way, from the way I see it.
If conservatives are representing the majority of the voting public, then they can work through the political mechanisms and get elected representatives who will support these issues (in the political sphere).
On the other hand, if conservatives represent so few of the voting public that they are “overrun” by others who oppose the conservative’s views and political persuasions, then *this* would be — also — done by the political mechanisms which the founding fathers set up — thereby “overriding” the conservatives and their opinions.
Now, it seems to me, that there are certain ones saying that if they are “out-voted” in the political sphere — and things change politically (because of this) — then — *this* justify the armed revolution, because it’s not the way the founding fathers would have wanted or what they set up.
I’m saying that — if — in the political system, conservatives are out-voted and are (as seems...) “overrun” in what they want government to do — then the problem is not the political system and how it has gone against the conservatives — but rather — with the mass of people who don’t go along with the conservatives. And if that is the case — then there are people who are advocating armed revolution for being in the *minority* — and because they can’t persuade the mass of the voting public to go along with them and their political aims.
That’s the problem. And that’s why I won’t be participating in an armed revolution, but rather, working in the political sphere...
“All ‘republican’ congressmen had better realize that ‘reaching across the aisle’ will get them their hands cut off. We are no longer a nation of two political parties, joined by the love for it, but of two factions with different and opposite ideas of the direction that they want to take this country.”
I could not agree more.
I see the Obama Hard Leftists pushing, and pushing, and pushing, until they get an aggressive response.
They get off on this stuff. It's like a drug to them. They need a rebellion to put down.
Notice, we're sending 17,000 more troops to Afghanistan, and the Cindy Sheehan/Nancy Pelosi nut job wing of the Democrat Party are now silent.
They don't mind a lil' death and killing, as long as it's their side doing it.
"They're OUR planes now."
Stinkin' hypocrites.
Post #86, another answer to your question posed to Post #6...
“Post #86, another answer to your question posed to Post #6...”
True.
Here’s the video:

Now it is I who will call the historical record into account. For thirty years I believed as you did. I will believe it no more. The RNC controls the party. They invest in what they want. As long as moderates control the RNC, the Republicans have not changed a whit.
Reagan NEEDS a new house.
Yes i know that, but I was referring to the economy and his recent comments...nothing supercedes his marxism, but the point is HE ALREADY KNOWS FDR FAILED, SO WHY DO IT.
