OK, I remember one of my pet peeves about Alan Keyes. I now agree that you CAN read that the way he wrote it and it can make sense. But it requires you to swap the meaning of the word “determine” in the 1st and 2nd sentences.
I dislike false parallelism. Maybe because I tend to write down to my audience, and it’s a too-clever (in my opinion) trick.
Of course, I think I just called mself dumb, because I didn’t recognize it earlier.
Oh well.
Hey, at least you’re reading and attempting to to digest what the man is saying. That puts you way ahead of most at the moment.
...Is the key to it.
I started an expression at my work of calling someone a Nazi in jest. Failure to put up the flag in the morning might just bring on that word. Which it did one morning.
And the sorrowful excuse I heard from a distance was something like this. "Well I don't feel very in tune with my country lately."
The person who said that is only a liberal because of his own personal cause, - he is gay. He's only living here because he hopes for the future, and what? He thinks the country has been hijacked, and there's nothing he can do to save it?
I don't understand these people. If Bill Clinton got on TV and said we're going to war, I would've reacted the same way I did when Bush said it. Holy Sh@#$%t! We're going to war!
This is my country. I'm paying for whatever their doing. It doesn't matter if I agree, I elected these people and that is just how it is. It has no bearing which party does what, the output is what I bought whether it is what I want or not.
Not enough people hear from Alan Keyes. He makes me proud to be an American. We need more people like him.
I think we need the two opponents shaking hands at the end. Like a hockey game. And followers who actually realize the fight is over, and it's time to do the people's business.
