Alan Keyes: Obama an “Abomination”

February 23rd, 2009 By: Michael van der Galien | Tags:

Although I’m quite critical of new president Barack Obama, I believe one’s criticism should always be aimed at ideas and policies, rather than people, and that one can also take criticism too far. Case in point:

As Andrew Sullivan writes, Keyes’ words are highly disturbing. He calls Obama an “abomination” and argues that the U.S. will “cease to exist” if not removed from power / countered by an aggressive opposition.That’s incredibly extreme: the U.S. will “cease to exist.” He seemingly believes there’s no problem with making such an extremely hateful, idiotic remark. Normal Republicans and conservatives are indeed wise to publicly disown these remarks.

    Keyes has been an extremist who hangs around at the fringes for quite some time now, like an uninvited party guest. Most people just ignore him and hope he’ll go away soon, although that strategy doesn’t appear to be working.

    Alan Keyes is absolutely RIGHT. Those of us familiar with the horror and destruction created by Obama-like “socialists of the XXI century” know that Keyes is right.

    We know that Obama’s CHANGE means change toward Marxism, loss of freedom and rights, and greater poverty, despair and corruption, and YES WE CAN means Marxists like Castro, Chavez and Obama CAN fool people. We pray that we are able to defend ourselves from Obama, his accomplices and his brainwashed lemmings.

    We must defend ourselves from Obama, not only for ourselves, our children and grandchildren, but for the millions of human beings all over the world who will be left without hope if the U.S. becomes enslaved like Cuba, Venezuela, Bolivia, Nicaragua…

    Obama probably will allways be thankfull for the fact that Alan Keyes decided to run against him in 2004. Against Keyes nobody can lose. I saw Keyes performance in the last presidential race and quite frankly he has no clue as to what politics is about. I actually feel sorry for the guy every time I see him on the screen.

    For God’s sake, man, sell anything of value you have left and attempt to buy a clue. Good luck!

    Many will say Alan Keyes is extremist. OBAMA IS THE ABORTION MILL KING

    Watch and see. Time will tell.

    Everything Keyes said, though brutal, is true. Keyes is not a liar.

    The “drive by media” avoided these inconvenient truths and the exposure of them for the past two years.

    Today Obama has been recognized as “THE ABORTION PRESIDENT” by one of our Congressman. OBAMA supports a system of free choice and abortion of fetuses, and embryos that has committed the largest number of murders of african americans in history.

    Your tax dollars, thanks to his changing executive orders in this regard, including stem cell research, and federal dollars going to foreign NGO’s, not to mention the recent executive order to making Doctors disobey the hippocratic oath, make him the number one abortion President. God Help us all.

    They will rue the day, as their freedoms become restricted, and their lives dependent more and more upon big brother.

    The United States as we knew it, is over. IT will never ever again be the same country your mother and father knew.
