    Rep-Elect Keith Ellison, Useful Idiot or Islamist Agent?

     Rep-Elect Keith Ellison was elected to the House of Representatives from the state of Minnesota.  He has the strong backing and financial support of the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR), a Washington-DC based Islamic hate group that is dedicated to ending Constitutional rule of law in the United States.

     Anti-CAIR (ACAIR) has written about Ellison previously.

     Ellison has the strong support of CAIR; accepted donations from senior CAIR staffers and has a past involving the revolting Nation Of Islam (NOI) that he has not adequately explained.  (When one is an adult working for the NOI, simply explaining it away as a “mistake” just isn’t good enough.)

     However, it appears Ellison has learned from both the NOI and CAIR.  He appears neatly dressed, speaks well, doesn’t mention his religion much in public, and successfully hides his past support for radicals.  To ACAIR, it appears that Ellison is a chameleon who can appear to be anything his public at the moment wants him to be.

     This makes him smart…and possibly dangerous.

     When a man with Ellison’s past garners the support of CAIR, an Islamic terrorist supporting group, and wins an election despite his radical Islamic ties, this signals something is very wrong with the electorate…not only in Minnesota, but in the nation at large.  Consider that no major political party rightfully condemned him and we all have to wonder whether we as a nation are failing ourselves.

     How did it come to be that an apparent radical Islamist is elected to the House of the People with the support of a group with proven ties to Islamic terrorism?

     ACAIR hopes we are wrong about Ellison.  However, if past is prologue, we hold little hope that his primary allegiance is to the United States.  We can think of no one who has CAIR’s support whose primary allegiance is to the United States.

     Of one thing we are certain; Ellison is NOT a Useful Idiot. He’s a true believer.        (Watch Ellison acceptance speech Video)
