By your use of the term "so-called conservatives",( who are "sinning" also by actually using freedom of speech to be "vocal"), are we all now to assume that these people did not "stop and think", (as by analogy you must be doing)?

Your "hero-worship" of Alan Keyes.....that he is so almightily "conservatively committed..and intelligent"

indicates a desire to have no need of indivual power of your own.

Many of the so called "so-called conservatives" seem very sincere and well spoken, even daring as they are to speak for themselves. Their approach seems very direct and principled. The main questions are obvious:

If merely electing Republicans becomes a substitute for the need for real representation of our interests, then what is the point of it all?

Any politician can just say anything and do something else. Simplying saying the Democrats would do worse, calling them RATS, etc......and demonizing the Clintons(and, how many years can that make sense?) may work for a while to "keep us in the fold" but hardly feels like Freedom!

The issues we are being presented with hardly constitute a description of the reality, political or other-wise.

You may feel more secure simply by picking a side and "winning" but this is a hollow feeling, and one I wouldn't endorse.

What if the politians all start acting "in cahoots" with eachother, when the meaning of the parties are more totally obscured? What would be the difference between this and "communism, socialism, liberalism, etc" or any tyranny?

Thinking means stepping "outside the box". Come out!

The future IS at stake!

But not in the trivial way in which it is being portrayed.

None of this is at all 'trivial'.

Dr. Keyes has been consistent in his beliefs, and has taken considerable flack for his (IMO correct) criticisms of this administration.

He is hardly your average politician, to put it mildly.

But he is right in this case as well.

The only course available to forward the conservative movement, to protect the security of our country, and to keep power from those who will destroy all of the above is to get behind the President and push with all our might.

That doesn't mean we abandon our principles. God forbid.

It means we deal with the world as it exists, not as we would like it to be, as all sane grown-ups do.

What you are seeing, and you call trivial, is the coalescing of the most powerful coalition in the world today--the Republican coalition. It is certainly not perfect, but it is all we and the world has got.

Simplying saying the Democrats would do worse, calling them RATS, etc......and demonizing the Clintons(and, how many years can that make sense?)

About the same number of years that those US soldiers who were dragged through the streets in Somalia stay dead. I'll throw in Vince Foster and Ron Brown too.

Speaking of "dead", sorry about the zot. Better put some ice on that.
