I think you ought to listen to and or read his actual words before falling for the liberal spin and or the anti-Keyes propaganda and before slamming him further.
There is a group of a dozen or so anti-Keyes posters on FR that have taken it upon themselves to trash Keyes and or his supporters on every Keyes related thread. That will be coming to an end.
Ok, so am I wrong that he's wanting to implement government permission for us to enjoy our rights? That's what I'm seeingf, but maybe it isn't clear. It appears that he wants us to get government permission in order to enjoy our second amendment rights. I think I have a legitimate reason, as a conservative, to be worried about that.
If I'm wrong, as I said, I will apologize.
Now, will anyone show me I am wrong, and that Keyes' words were twisted out of context and he isn't supporting government licensing ands permission for gun ownership?
I had sworn off of these Alan Keyes threads because they just pissed me off with all the Keyes bashing that goes on. I am thrilled that the owner is going to crack down.
I read the first 200 comments and nothing I have read makes more sense than the way it was stated time and again by Jim Robinson.
In all my adult voting life I have never seen a politician/candidate who more closely reflects my views than Alan Keyes. That's not to say that I agree with everything he says or the way he says it. If I wanted a candidate that I agreed with 100% I would have to run myself. I won't pick apart everything the man says.
He's a God believing Christian and that bothers some people here. There are "conservatives here who believe in a womans "right" to an abortion. They don't like Alan Keyes. It's the reason I pray for his success. I am not a "one issue" voter but in my opinion it is a very important issue.
I have one thing that many of the Keyes bashers don't have. I have the right to vote for Keyes in the election and believe you me he has my vote and support.
I will not plead their forgiveness, because they do not deserve it. However, I will plead mercy.
For the life and breath of me, I have not been able to understand the vitriol sprayed on Keyes this last month. I think he is misguided on reparatiosn, but I cannot abide discarding him like used bathroom tissue. A man so strong on abortion, a man for whom I voted twice in Republican presidential primaries, well, he is not someone I will abandon easily.
