He edifies continuously. He can’t help it if you won’t listen, and can only hear the necessary rebuke.

I listen and hear and understand. Mama taught me that if I didn’t do the thing that’s being griped *about,* I’m not the one being griped *at.* Good lesson.

To paraphrase, “Wise is as wise does.”

In this article, Dr. Keyes once again belittles his audience: “Unfortunately, when she proves inadequate to the task, human vanity will lead many to doubt the viability of the moral cause, rather than their own lack of discernment about the flaws in her public policy stances on the key moral issues.”

First, there was no need to speculate - it would have been better to “simply say nothing.” There was certainly no need to go to such lengths to prove that the Governor is flawed and not “adequate to the task.” Especially with so many “I’s” in the essay.

Remember that I voted for Dr. Keyes in the Texas primary and that he has been one of my own hopes as a prolife advocate and Constitutional leader. Unfortunately, as he proved after the Republican primaries and at the various third party conventions last year, his own flaw is his negative focus and lectures which drives away his would be allies.

God bless you and Dr. Keyes.
