Birther nutcase Alan Keyes has made several TEA party speeches. This is a dangerous thing for this grass roots movement. In my opinion the TEA party would be much better off if they told Alan Keyes to take a hike. The sane and reasonable people of this country know that Obama is a natural born citizen, was elected fairly, and other than that, it’s hard to defend the man. But one thing is clear, the overwhelming evidence is that Obama is a natural born citizen, and any person that would refute that, doesn’t know the facts, and clearly has some deep issues that should be treated by a professional.

Alan Keyes is best known for several failed presidential bids, and as one of the founding and most vocal people behind the insane conspiracy that Obama was born in Kenya and not eligible for the office of the presidency.

If Americans want someone to blame for the country’s political and economic problems, they should look in the mirror.

So says Alan Keyes, a nationally known conservative author, speaker and Reagan-era diplomat who will be in Fort Wayne this week to participate in the “Enough Already” tea party scheduled for 11 a.m. Saturday at the Allen County Courthouse.

“We’ve let ourselves be manipulated (by politicians), and my hope is that we can revitalize active citizenship,” said Keyes, 58, who as a Republican has run unsuccessfully for political office several times, including the 2004 Illinois Senate race against now-President Barack Obama.

Now joining with the TEA party movenment, Keyes threatens to derail what could be a growing and powerful political influence on the 2010 election. The problem is, Keyes does not stand for what the TEA party stands for, he is only hitching a ride on a rising force in America, hoping for a brief glimpse of vindication. If the TEA party is to do anything good for this country, they need to dump this trash by the road and not let these wingnut “birthers” anywhere near the podium.

I am a firm believer that a strong independent political force is the only true way to fix this country and what will ultimately save this country. People with integrity and people that are for what the people of this country need. It has become clear to the American people that neither the Republicans nor Democrats have any interest in fixing this country and only work for the rich and powerful. Obama is not a Socialist, he is a corporate lapdog, and it is clear that the president is only interested in what will help both big business, and continue the expansion of the government that has been going on for the last 30 years.

The danger is, if these wingnut birthers infect the TEA party movement, it will give Republicans and Democrats that much more leverage to continue their power grab and continuous pseudo partisan political clap trap that has divided this country. Any Independent candidate that has serious goals of fixing the mess this country is in would do well to avoid any birther. It’s a dead issue, and one that would only hurt a candidate. My advice to candidates, talk the issues, don’t talk about the made up insanity that the birthers provide. In political terms that is a looser.

I fully expect a major upheaval this year in our legislative branch, Americans are angry, and they don’t want politics as usual. This last election, they voted for change, they didn’t get what they wanted, and now America is collectively pissed off, and it’s all too apparent that our government is completely oblivious to that fact. This is why America is hoping for the TEA party to do something about it.

While I am ranting on what the tea party should be and should not be doing, I also urge the TEA party movement to ditch Sarah Palin, the woman is poison and a quitter. She was a rising star in the conservative movement, but unfortunately it’s all puff. She has no ideas about how to fix this country, and has been riding the “Rogue” mantra without any substance.
