Alan Keyes is a good man. He would make a fine president. He has my vote in the Ohio primary.
Alan Keys is a captivating speaker. He is eloquent and grabs you by the depth of what he says. He is a little too religious for me but I like him over many.
Yes, he is a good man. I had the honor to have dinner with him a few years ago, and he is a down to earth, decent person.
For one world government you have to have only one god. That god won’t be the Father of Jesus Christ.
It’s a serious shame that Alan Keyes isn’t included in Tuesday’s upcoming GOP Presidential debate!
I will never do so again. Why? Because of his foolish adaptation of the reparations mantra. He sounds the same as Sharpton or Jackson. Sorry, Alan.
Judging from some of the responses on the thread about President Bush’s comments, I’d say that scorn for his remarks is widespread among the conservative side as well.
Actually, what he proposed, in a completely “what if” conversation, was the exact opposite of anything those leftists propose.
BTTT. Our finest living orator.
He really is.
However, I wish folks understood better what the source of that powerful communication skill is.
Jesus said, “Out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaks.”
Dr. Keyes has done the life work of deeply thinking the founding principles of our country through in a way that no one else I know of has. That’s why he can do with words what no one else can. He has so internalized these principles that they just flow as naturally from him as water springs from an artesian well. It’s a truly amazing thing.
Hope you’re doing well.
He does. And this one must have just sprung from his pen. The story he was responding to just came out this morning.
Awesome!
Dr. Keyes has done the life work of deeply thinking the founding principles of our country through in a way that no one else I know of has.
Very well said. He is a tremendous thinker and committed to seeking the Lord's will for our country. I think time will reveal him as a prophetic voice.
I wish our system had a real place for his gifts. I truly don't think running for President is the right thing; the President was not intended by the Founders to be a philosopher-king figure.
At one time, Congress included great men (among the dross ...), but these days it seems to be mostly dross, with some decent and intelligent, but not truly grand, members. My own Congresscritter, for example, Mrs. Sue Myrick, is a good person and an honest legislator, but she doesn't show the deep identification with fundamental principles that I'd like to see.
You expect “principles” from a politician? lol
He’s not a Presidential candidate. But he’s played one on TV.
I think if the American people realized what a national treasure he is, they’d elect him in a minute. And, in my opinion, he’d be one of the best presidents in our history. He knows the world, he knows the country, he knows our form of government, and he understands the principles that its all built on better than anyone else.
Mrs. Myrick has principles! As I said, she’s a good person and an honest representative. You know what you’re getting, if you vote for her.
However, I don’t get the impression that she’s thought deeply about Constitutional principles. It’s more on a practical level with her - we can improve this, we can reform that, when I’d like to see, “The Federal government shouldn’t be doing *anything* in this area!” (Education, housing, health care, etc.)
Now in our county and town government, everyone seems to agree that all the candidates are crooks. The challenge is to figure out who owns them, so you can guess at what they’re likely to do in office. Very tiresome!
