BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA You criticize people from out of state (actually I'm a Chicagoland native and still have family in the area) for criticizing Keyes for running from out of state. So according to you it's OK if we run for your Senate seat but we have no right to make suggestions about who runs for your Senate seat. Hypocricy thy name is Unspun.
I read the acceptance speech, frankly it makes it even clearly that Keyes is behaving in a shameful way, not only does it make clear that what he's doing is wrong it makes clear that he KNOWS it's wrong and is doing it anyway. Apparently all that fat cash the Clintons have got for doing things they knew was wrong has clouded his judgement, I guess next comes the book deal.
I don't need your diagnosis of whether or not I'm a troll, you started the insults, that's troll-like behavior. making my opinion of Keyes shameful behavior known in a polite manner isn't troll-like.
Oh come one, d. your skin is obviously not so thick as to be very trollish, whatever your cause, neither is it for the other two. Here, though, ponder this with your human mind.
1. This acceptance of the IL GOP invitation to run for US Senate, is utterly, thoroughly, and in black and white, federally constitutional. It is an act according to both the spirit and letter of the law, after all other options are judged by a nominating body of a state to be inadequate, for someone from out of state to accept the invitation of that body.
2. As has been explained in another thread, and as Dr. Keyes has demonstrated as well as explained, just as at the time Ft. Sumter was fired upon, there arise issues and causes that reach beneath the Constitution and into the very raison detre for our nation, expressed in our Declaration.
"Among these," are our most primal individual and corporate rights. Of individual primacy is that we are all living human beings created to live under God's "natural" law. Of foundational corporate primacy is that we are a nation, rather than a collection of independent states. It just so happens that by Article 10, our nation leaves those powers not granted by the People to Federal Government, to individual People and their states.
We must not confuse a primal right or responsibility, upon which our nation is created, with the nationally granted powers (that is, those powers granted by our nation, once our nation was already founded).
If, for primal issues of our most basic human rights and responsibilities, we cannot find our footing deeper than our Constitional "first floor," within the "foundational" responsibilities and rights of the Declaration of Independence, then we will one day be forced to find it in the one Declared corporate right/responsibility laying deeper yet: the replacement of our nation's foundation, by creating a yet newer nation, separated from its unbearable former tyranny.
If murder is not unbearable, what is?
If the deconstructionist denial of meaning, by redefinition of the word for our most basic societal contract (marriage) is not ontologically and epistemologically unbearable, what is?
