I didn't answer your question, incidently, because it was beside the point. I have plenty of criticisms of President Bush that have nothing to do with Keyes or anything I have heard him say, so I'm not sure what you are getting at. Why does it matter? You are, again, changing the subject, which draws the discussion, again, to my previous post.
Also, when you say, "the only time he makes the news is when he criticizes Bush," and call Keyes "irrelavent," this is demonstrably not true. In fact, this article does not deal with Bush, yet Keyes has been the subject for --what-- nearly 800 posts? Some people, though they claim otherwise, still find him relevant. There is a disparity between what some say and what they do.
you consider me incapable of carrying on an "intelligent" debate
Not true. I believe you are capable. Otherwise I wouldn't even bother to engage. But have it as you want it. Whether or not we can agree on Keyes' relevance, we CAN agree that, to you and a nearly unanimous majority of FReepers here, I am irrelevant. You need not humor me, and I need not humor you. I wish you the best of blessings, and with the way things are going in this country, I likewise hope you are right. Unfortunately, though, hoping doesn't make it so.
