I'm not aware that the Cheneys are as strongly religious as are the Keyes. The high school Maya Keyes attended was affiliated with Opus Dei, which is on the conservative side of the Catholic spectrum. Alan Keyes has strongly identified with the social conservatism. Richard Cheney did not make such issues his principal cause while in Congress, or as Vice President.

#299..I think this is the crux of it.

I admire, respect and appreciate Vice President Cheney, but have never thought of him as a religious person.
When in church, his wife and the Bush's will sing, but he doesn't.
Sure, maybe he doesn't have a good singing voice, but surely he could try.
But that's OK....that's his right.
And only God knows his heart...

...Alan Keyes, OTOH, has a strong faith, a huge intellect, and a fiercely adamant presence......no denying that!

If he has turned his daughter out of the home, he is practicing 'tough love'....

..This doesn't mean he has stopped loving her, but it does mean he is drawing the line as to what he will accept or not accept in his home.
He has the right to do this....as well.

Keyes is not perfect.....but surely we can cut him some slack....it has to be a heartbreaker when a child rebels.
