So is Alan Keyes to be honest.
It may be "honest" but it isn't accurate.
Unlike Ron Paul, Alan Keyes understands the realities of the world we live in, and has extensive experience, when he worked as part of the Reagan national security staff, in dealing directly and forcefully with the dangers those realities represent. Unlike Paul, Keyes can see America's providential role as a "shining city on a hill."
And, domestically, unlike Ron Paul, he recognizes the moral basis for our laws, and doesn't erroneously believe that states' rights trump unalienable rights.
