"Well, If any of you Freepers, can consider yourselves, either more conservatively committted or more intelligent than Alan Keyes, Now is the time to make your argument."

Excellent remark. With your permission, I will use your post -- the quote from Keyes and your excellent point, when appropriate, to hopefully make some vocal so-called conservatives stop and think.

By your use of the term "so-called conservatives",( who are "sinning" also by actually using freedom of speech to be "vocal"), are we all now to assume that these people did not "stop and think", (as by analogy you must be doing)?

Your "hero-worship" of Alan Keyes.....that he is so almightily "conservatively committed..and intelligent"

indicates a desire to have no need of indivual power of your own.

Many of the so called "so-called conservatives" seem very sincere and well spoken, even daring as they are to speak for themselves. Their approach seems very direct and principled. The main questions are obvious:

If merely electing Republicans becomes a substitute for the need for real representation of our interests, then what is the point of it all?

Any politician can just say anything and do something else. Simplying saying the Democrats would do worse, calling them RATS, etc......and demonizing the Clintons(and, how many years can that make sense?) may work for a while to "keep us in the fold" but hardly feels like Freedom!

The issues we are being presented with hardly constitute a description of the reality, political or other-wise.

You may feel more secure simply by picking a side and "winning" but this is a hollow feeling, and one I wouldn't endorse.

What if the politians all start acting "in cahoots" with eachother, when the meaning of the parties are more totally obscured? What would be the difference between this and "communism, socialism, liberalism, etc" or any tyranny?

Thinking means stepping "outside the box". Come out!

The future IS at stake!

But not in the trivial way in which it is being portrayed.
