It certainly seems so, does it not? It's like the Leftists who, after 9-11, could not WAIT to once again begin talking about health care, "jobs", the environment, etc, and just forget all that icky war stuff.
It can be insidious...there have been so-called "conservatives" on this very site who have claimed, Left-style, that due to abortion and gay marriage, America DESERVED 9-11 and all that followed.
BTW, you have FReepmail.
Protecting the lives of the innocent always has, and always must, come first; since without the right to life, all of the other liberties can never be enjoyed.
So, yes, Keyes has his priorities in exactly the correct order.
And besides, nobody I know of has fought as staunchly for all those other liberties. Ask those at the forefront of the tax reform, the governmental reform, the private property rights and the Second Amendment movements for the last decade.
They will make it clear to you that Alan Keyes has been one of their best champions.
