I was sitting here wracking my mind, trying to remember the points where Dr. Keyes has been critical of the President...hmmm...

A couple of questions for you:

Do you think it's ok to use the cells from murdered/aborted babies for continued stem cell research?---(a simple answer will suffice...I don't want to go back and read the piece you wrote on it).

Was this a flaw in the President's otherwise flawless decision concerning stem cell research?

Does Alan Keyes, as a concerned American citizen, and a top pro-life activist, have a right to question the President's decision?

Hmmm...Keyes was also critical of the Bush/Kennedy/NEA education bill (you know, the one that sets true reform efforts back for a long, long time...maybe for a generation.)

...do you like this bill, Dan?

Does Alan Keyes, as a top conservative, one who has fought for many years to promote true local control of education, have a right to be critical of this bill?

Oh!---one more for you:

Is Jesus a political philosopher?

Did Keyes have the right as a Christian to mildly disagree with that assessment? Was Alan wrong when he set the record straight...that Jesus Christ is GOD?

I know you're discussing this with Dan, but I cannot let this comment go.

Do you honestly believe that George W. Bush does not know that "Jesus Christ is GOD"? He was asked the philosopher question, and he wanted to talk about Christ. He's a sincere believer - as sincere as you or I. It was petty and classless of Alan Keyes to pick him apart for the purpose of scoring points. Whether it's sour grapes or not when he does things like that, it appears that way to many of us.

With Keyes, it's not so much what he does, it's the way he does it. He's pompous, divisive and unkind. If you don't have a problem with it, that is your prerogative - but is it so utterly unfathomable that some people (even Christians) might be turned off by it?

  1. I'm not wiling to summarize a carefully thought-out and reasoned essay for you in a sentence, no.
  2. Arguable.
  3. Keyes has that "right," as he has the right to die his hair pink, paint silver glitter all over his skin, and do Michael Jackson dance-moves every time he thinks he has made a point. Those rights, and many more, are his. (Who questioned his right? I question his wisdom and effectiveness.)
  4. Not what I know of it. (I am a Bush-supporter, not a Bush-cultist.)
  5. "Right"? See above. Then your "one more" becomes "three more" (live by the legalism....)
  6. Yes.
  7. "Right"? See above.
  8. No, he was not. What he did was fatuous, conceited, self-serving, posturing, legalistic, arrogant. While the rest of the world was gasping at Bush's open confession of Jesus as his Savior and the most important person in his life, Keyes was pecking at irrelevant molecules. It is a classic illustration of my point.
