VIDEO: Alan Keyes Sounds Off On Obama:"Radical Communist Will Destroy Our Country", "We're Going To Find Ourselves In Civil War"

Alan Keyes is an American conservative political activist, author, and former diplomat, and perennial candidate for public office.

In between ramblings about whether or not Obama is Constitutionally eligible to be President, Keyes actually has some controversial, but frankly, accurate comments on our President.




Some of our favorites:

"This is insane... it's like we've elected a bunch of insane children and adolescents to run our nation."

"We will either stop him or the United States of America will cease to exist."

"Obama is a radical communist...who will destroy the nation."

"He refuses to provide proof that he is a citizen of our nation."

"He actually supported that babies be set aside to die...I can't understand why anybody in their right mind would consider him worthy of political support...a violation of conscience that is inconceivable."

"We're in the midst of the greatest crisis this country has every 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."

"A bankrupt government is going to save a bankrupt banking sysyem. Explain to me how that happens, because I think that's impossible. We're all acting like the laws of economics have been repealed." It's going to lead the collapse of our economy.

Obama's Cap And Trade Energy Plan May Cost Over $1 Trillion and Up To 4 Million Jobs

How, exactly, does this improve the Obama Recession?

Cap and trade bills are nothing short of a government re-engineering of the American economy. With its aggressive targets to reduce emissions from fossil fuel use, it would put the nation on a path of serious economic harm not justified by any benefits.

The New York Times celebrates the plan as a victory for "climate change":

Full details of Mr. Obama’s budget for the 2010 fiscal year will be released in April. The outline on Thursday will make clear that he intends to push ahead on promises to contain health care costs and expand insurance coverage, and to move toward an energy cap-and-trade system for controlling emissions of gases blamed for climate change.

Department of Energy report on "cap and trade". Click to view (pdf).

Human Events reported on The Department Of Energy estimates for the severe economic cost of pandering to the far left radical climate change moonbats:

Dr. Winegarden notes that “Cap-and-trade has been such a dramatic failure in Europe, including forcing even “green” factories to fire workers. When asked whether America could learn enough from Europe’s mistakes that we could implement a cap-and-trade system that made sense; Winegarden’s answer was a resounding “no”. “Cap-and-trade is the politically expedient solution – it has great political merit but no economic merit. We’ll be revisiting this because, like Sarbanes-Oxley, it will create more problems than it will solve”, not least of which will be dramatically increased volatility of energy prices.

The potential costs to America from cap-and-trade policies are enormous. The Department of Energy estimates that S. 2191, the Warner-Lieberman cap-and-trade proposal, will increase the cost of coal for power generation by between 161% and 413%. DOE estimates GDP losses (see chart) over the 21-year period they forecast, at between $444 billion and $1.308 trillion, with particular damage to the manufacturing sector. (This gives some hope that organized labor will, in a rare occurrence, oppose Democratic leaders on this issue.) Winegarden estimates that this bill could increase unemployment by 2.7% or about 4 million jobs. In fact, companies are already preparing to avoid increased level and volatility of American energy prices by setting up factories and partnerships in countries which won’t be subject to cap-and-trade restrictions…proving with real-world behavior of producers that no carbon-limiting regulation can succeed if it is not universal.

Obamamaniacs Celebrate Your Hero!

(Feb. 21) - Whom do you admire enough to call a hero?

That was the simple question posed to a cross-section of Americans by The Harris Poll in mid-January. When it was first done in 2001, Jesus was named more than any other person. This year, President Barack Obama topped the list.

Each respondent's answer was spontaneous -- no list of people to choose from was given to those surveyed.

Harris Interactive recently asked 2,634 Americans whom they admired enough to call their heroes. Mother Teresa, who won the Nobel Peace Prize in 1979 and was regarded as a living saint until her death in 1997, came in at No. 10.

No. 9: Chesley "Sully" Sullenberger, pilot who safely landed US Airways Flight 1549 on the Hudson River

No. 8: Former President John F. Kennedy

No. 7: Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz.

No. 6: Former President Abraham Lincoln

No. 5: Former President George W. Bush

No. 4: Former President Ronald Reagan

No. 3: Martin Luther King Jr., civil rights leader

No. 2: Jesus Christ

No. 1: President Barack Obama

Report: Turns Out Gitmo Is Not That Bad; Meets Requirements Of Geneva Conventions

So what's all the fuss? What is Obama's argument now?

The Washington Post reports:

A Pentagon review of conditions at the Guantanamo Bay military prison has concluded that the treatment of detainees meets the requirements of the Geneva Conventions but that prisoners in the highest-security camps should be allowed more religious and social interaction, according to a government official who has read the 85-page document.

The report, which President Obama ordered, was prepared by Adm. Patrick M. Walsh, the vice chief of naval operations, and has been delivered to the White House. Obama requested the review as part of an executive order on the planned closure of the prison at the U.S. naval base at Guantanamo Bay, on the southeastern tip of Cuba.

Most Americans disagree with closing Gitmo.
