.... but was called crazy and racist in the process.

It is reasonable to claim, looking back in hindsight today 18 years later, that Keyes was absolutely spot on.

It's hard to argue that his predictions have not come true on practically every level. He nailed it ... he was prophetic.


Every problem we find ourselves in today were either started by, or exacerbated by, Obama. Barry Soetto.

Health Care Costs Exploding
Budget Deficits & Debt
Racial Issues ... Division
Far Left Marxo-Commie Political Violence
Trans Violence
Education System in freefall
Social Welfare out of control
Radical Islamists that were imported
A dysfunctional legislative branch
Rampant crime in blue cities
Weaponization of the DOJ under Holder/Rice/Garland
Green New Deal repercussions and ramifications
Flying $107 Billion in cash to Iran (and all the subsequent consequences of that move)
The relentless attack on the first Trump term
The weaponization of our IC against MAGA
Etc., etc., etc.,

.... the list goes on and on.

Keyes predicted it in 2008. It all came true.



Everyone knows that it is now a historical fact. Well, at least honest, intelligent, people will give Keyes his due.

Used to watch Keyes way back in the day, I think he was originally on Fox News. Dude would rip liberals to shreds on his show and smile politely while doing so.

A person can only wonder where the US would be in 2026 if a man like Alan Keyes had been president rather than Obammy? No doubt in a much better place.

Alan Keyes, JC Watts, Burgess Owens, Clarence Thomas, Tim Scott, Thomas Sowell, etc. etc. etc...

Strong, intelligent black men who have been completely trashed as "racists" and "Uncle Toms" and "race traitors" (and much worse) just for being conservative and not fitting the narrative that black people should just be the LBJ Democrats' "uppity n***oes".

I'm never going to let you forget it, Dims of the board. Your party is the real party of racism, the KKK, segregation and Jim Crow.

Keyes was one of the few politicians who was not invited to the Republican Candidate debates, because he was such a gifted speaker. He made Bob Dole appear as the confused simpleton relic. Dole was the McConnell of his day.

A lot of terrorism seeds to grow and flourish around the world. A laughable peace prize winner. The Godfather of death and chaos.

So did I. I knew back then that GWBush was nothing more than a “kinder, gentler” conservative who would only somewhat slow down the advancement of the Democrats’ regressive policies while advancing the Globalist agenda like his father.

It’s too bad the average American Republican voter was still blinded to the RINO game. Now more than ever we need intelligent men of courage like Alan Keyes if we’re going to save our civilization.

Keyes and Obama were in a political race...The race that Obama said he is more black African because he was born in Kenya.

Obama purged the divorce records of his other opponent to win his race.

I'm not a fan of Obama. He made our problems worse, but he didn't start them. The country was in dire financial straits the day he took office. Too much debt, loose monetary policy, reckless fiscal policy, lack of personal savings, breakdown of the nuclear family, welfare dependency, jobs flowing offshore, media bias, breakdown of the K-12 educational system, etc. This decay started a long time ago.

They always have been. Dems are the very best at projecting their acts onto others. Even the MSM provides complete protection and support for them.

Not much consolation IMO.

And he can be given credit for BLM, stalling NASA, ACA, Obergefell, and I'm probably missing several.
