IMO, Dr. Alan Keyes is this country’s modern Churchill. I just don’t know anyone else who qualifies for the label. He’s the man who has had a firm grasp of the true dangers to our republic all along, and who hasn’t swerved from speaking out boldly about it for decades, but who is largely ignored, or ridiculed, by the political establishment.
*flamesuit on*
My issues, vis-a-vis the War on Terror, have been the way it has been half-heartedly fought, disastrously directed, and that the stupidity has continued because it’s simply politically impossible for the leadership of either party to admit to have made the mistakes that they have, up to this point.
My biggest beef, and this is the absolute sadness, is that there are GENERALS, men trained in the history and art of war, who have not stood up and told the truth of matter; the high-tech, whizz-bang US Military has forgotten that a) infantrymen, sufficiently trained to be as deadly as possible, win wars, and b)we don’t have enough of them, sufficiently trained to be as deadly as possible, to win, and c) what we do have is mostly rendered ineffective because we’ve forgotten all about annihilation battle.
The only way to win this thing is to go back to what are considered more brutal, but infinitely more effective tactics.
Churchill would have known this on an almost-instinctual level. George W. Bush and Company, don’t.
Alan Keyes, like Ann Coulter, is in the business of spouting incendiary nonsense, to fire up non-thinkers into buying his books and paying to hear him speak.
Bravo!
