They're very minor, bordering on the insignificant, making me question the motivations of the anti-Keyesteristas, especially considering the fact that Alan is the greatest exponent of conservatism today.

Greater than Buckley, Sowell, Will, Schlafly, Steyn, Coulter, Hanson, Gaffney, Malkin, etc.?

Am I an A-K for even asking?

I'm glad I don't have to vote in Illinois, because it would be painful to enter the booth this November. It's all rather moot, though, because Keyes is done. The lunacy of race-based tax exemptions can't be excused, and won't be. It's so self-destructive that one can only wonder how Keyes would melt down if elected to the Senate, and how often.

Keyes started off with carpet baggage, and proceeded to chain himself to the reparations anvil before walking off a Lake Michigan dock.

Sabertooth, I love you, man. But we really need you on the right side of this one (just as you were on the right side of the Cal Recall).

To all: It's really this simple. By virtue of the fact that Obama has voted to let babies who were accidentally born be murdered, and by virtue of the fact that Keyes is fighting to prevent such murder, Obama is actually LESS qualified to serve as the Senator from Illinois than Keyes is.

Here's my greater good analogy: The allied forces had a right, in fact an obligation, to conquer and REPLACE THE LEADERSHIP OF --or engaged in a "carpetbagging" of sorts-- the Nazis in Germany.

In like manner, Keyes has a right to try to conquer Obama.

Furthermore, the left has been hypocritical and therefore has undermined any argument they have against carpetbagging, WHETHER OR NOT Keyes has spoken against it.

In short, Keyes is observing a greater good than Federalism, by fightin Obama's holocaust.

Attention Philosophers and freepers: See "Hierarchicalism", a.k.a "Graded Absolutism", a.k.a. "greater good" --Aquinas, etc. Please make yourself familiar with the doctrine before responding.

Seriously? Sowell is the only one who comes close. Don't know Hanson or Gaffney.

AK's tend to be preoccupied with Alan's being a non-resident of Illinois and his position regarding reparations, while ignoring his positions on abortion, homosexual marriage, smaller government, etc.
