This man is crazy, right? No teleprompter, no notes, just BRILLIANCE.
"What did it mean to be a slave..." starts at 4:03 in the video.
And to think that Illinois chose Obama (over Keys) to represent them in the Senate. Americans chose Obama (over McCain) to lead the nation into a new era of Hope & Change. Now "Hope & Change" is strangely starting to look like... Serfdom!
And who is it that's calling the Pied Piper out? Check out the video.
How ironic.
America's first black president ushers the nation back to a new era of slavery!
Nice.

Any bets on how long it will take the press to get ahold of this & start labeling him an "Uncle Tom" along with other racists names? It will come. I hope he's prepared. Then again, it will give his incredibly eloquent speech more exposure.

Yes, the problem with slavery was that slaves got free stuff...
And since when is Alan Keyes not crazy? Republicans won't even vote for the man.

"got free stuff..." Like now?
So the question remains... who's the slave? Those holding out their hands for entitlements... or those making their way through life refusing to be a victim.

That was sarcasm. Most non idiots tend to associate slavery with that whole lack of self determination thing... rather then bitching about slave's compensation packages.

James, Keys makes some very good and true points, but... gulp... in this case, I have to give Derek a minor prop. Keys is out there sometimes. As to McCain, sorry, but I doubt he'd have been much better. The guy is a rino, and sometimes a weasel. He'll say what people want to hear, kind of like Bozo the Obama.

well said Billiam, I second that notion

Keys does an eloquent job of pointing out the eventual outcome of the ideology of the today's Democratic Party.
He may be "out there" but so are many other very smart people, like Einstein for example.

No disagreement there, Terry. Years ago, I voted for Keys. The truth of it is, I doubt enough people will wake up until it's too late. People will have to lose their freedoms before they can appreciate the genius that the Founders wrought, and decide it's worthy of fighting for it.
