[Theodore R.]

Keyes and other "fire-eating" conservatives believe that they are called to warn, admonish, and exclaim the pending doom rather than merely to win elections. They are modern-day "Jeremiahs" in a fallen world warning of the coming calamity, and few will listen. They feel that they are called to warn, not to be "successful" in something as mundane as an election.
