Whatever faults Dr. Keyes may have has a politician (and every politician of every stripe has faults) are orders of magnitude outweighed by his profoundly eloquent understanding of the philosophical and moral roots of American constitutional liberty. When I listen to Keyes I hear the brilliance of the founders updated for an era in which moral relativism, political corruption, situational ethics, cultural marxism and corruptive globalism all to often rears it’s ugly head and predominates.
Alan Keyes’s opposition to to these destrutive influences are uncompromising. His ability to precisely define why these vices are so corrosive of our constitutional claims to liberty and self governence is what so unnerves his opposition, particularly those who can only be seen to have tenuous claims to be on the same side of the issues as Keyes is. I am referring to those who would create common ground and accomodate the depraved forces who seek to undermine, disrupt and destroy the foundational principles and very best parts of American liberty and Western Civillization.
I worked periphally for Alan Keye’s senatorial campaign as a surrogate speaker in opposition to the hideous prospect of a US senator called Barack Obama. It is one of the things in my life that I am most proud that I had an opportunity to do, and that I was even considered worthy to be good enough too do. What was done to Alan Keyes by the leadership of the Illinois Republican party was an absolute disgrace that I hope will be revealed by the future historical record, and whose record of perfidy toward conservative candidates is disclosed by it’s present pitiful state.
God bless Alan Keyes for his courage and willingness to seek the truth as it can best be discerned.
Thank God there are others like Alan Keyes!
You, are a breath of fresh air.
