“I am afraid that men like Keyes would be leading the charge toward the docked ships only to find the weak-kneed turning back and looking for a more “moderate” and “politically savvy” leader that could work with King George to seek modest and incremental gains.”
That was never my point. Sure, men like Keyes would be there. Such action, though takes the whole thing outside the arena of politics. We have a real Tea Party, the next step is revolution. Are you ready for that? Only a few are, in my opinion.
Forget it, GGpaX4...
Anyone who joins the anti-Keyes club and rags on him about losing elections and not being politically astute ain't gonna participate in a revolution. Physically tough only follows mentally/conservatively tough and the anti-Keyes group ain't either.
They will cheer a pro-abortion, pro-tax, pro-socialized medicine, pro-regional cap and trade liberal because he won with a (R) after his name. These aren't the kind of folk that will stand shoulder to shoulder with conservatism and the Constitution in the face of extreme cost and risk.
