*Announcing the launch of Alan Keyes' RenewAmerica project*

RenewAmerica e-mail message ^ | 5/29/02

[The All Seeing Eye]

It's sort of weird to see negative comments about the RenewAmerica project being posted on FreeRepublic, because this is a project that is actually being promoted by Jim Robinson and FreeRepublic. There's a RenewAmerica banner big as life on the main page!

Somehow here in United States we only HEAR about this practice of putting nails and such in the bombs. We do not realize how vicious, how cruel, how sadistic this practice is.

You're correct. I heard someone on the news saying that the news people think that showing the results of suicide bombs would offend the sensibilities of Americans if they saw it on the news, but showing the Israeli tanks in Palestinian cities wasn't as graphic, so it was more suitable for the evening news.

The net result of course is to make the Israelis seem like barbarians, because our news doesn't show us what has provoked the Israelis to send in the tanks.

Yes, this reminded me to congratulate RenewAmaerica.tv for a wonderful site! I went through some links and pages - extremely well done, robust colors, vibrant screen content, a feeling of maturity - the same qualities that attracted me to FR in the first place.

[The All Seeing Eye]

I think this is just the kind of effort (RenewAmerica) that can bring all of the conservative organizations out there together.

Well, gee, isn't that weird that freepers don't agree on something! I'd say that's extremely weird, except I've been here a few years.

I think one thing all can agree on is that we want to KEEP this republic free on FreeRepublic! So let's work together to protect our freedom in this country.

I see how intolerant you are. Are you suggesting people who bash Keyes if they have good bowel movements or not, should look at facts before they do so? What kind of crazy and selfish idea is that? No wonder you like Keyes, a man equally intolerant and selfish as you are.

[Gelato]

That is your interpretation. To me she was just upset of Alan's usurping all the time - she finally realized she and the others were there only as a backdrop to his serminazing. That is why she did not answer - she refused to be a pawn.

Not sure how you came to that conclusion. Elders had just been asked how she could endorse a book that advocated pedophilia, while she was speaking out against the very abuse. The question had been put to her quite well, and both Keyes and the CWFA rep., Sandy Rios, waited in silence for her to respond. Her mouth simply gaped open, and she had no reply.

Her flustered reaction was not due to mistreatment at all, but rather to her inability to defend her contradictory statements.

I thought Keyes did quite well tonight, and let his guests have plenty of time to make their points. He went into depth with the question to Elders concerning maturity in the youth because it was something she would not acknowledge. Elders’ position was, “We need more sex education.” But obviously stuffing children’s heads with a bunch of facts about human reproduction is no substitute for the maturity needed to be able to choose the greater good in place of temporary physical satisfaction.

Excuse me?

[Satadru]

Yea, all 20 of 'em. *snicker*

If you weren't wasting bandwidth, there would be more.

[A Citizen Reporter]

"So let's work together to protect our freedom in this country."

When Alan Keyes can demonstrate that, ......well alan, I'm waiting............

[Gelato]

Oops. Missed the invisible sarcasm tag!

[Satadru]

It's a joke.

[Nan48]

Don't just sit there waiting. Listen to him and do something positive.

[Satadru]

I think there is no use in trying to persuade a Keyes basher. Some people just don't like others. I think we simply waste time in trying to confront our naysayers. Let them revel at their ignorance, while we have to do the hard work. They are happy with the state of affairs we are not. Obviously, they will try to distract us, just like the liberals have done for years. The key thing is to banish these people out of our minds as we try to make a difference in the nation's life.

[Satadru]

The least Bush can do is not to curtail that freedom, by imposing trading restrictions and dictating educational policies from the Kremli..I mean White House.

[CounterCounterCulture]

Thanks for the ping. The site even links FreeRepublic.

[Nan48]

I agree, Satadru. Maybe if they see the rest of us pulling this country out of the muck it's in, they'll finally see the light and want to join us, instead of sittin' around carpin'.

[Symix]

My recallection was that she tried to respond several times but Keyes kept parrying her attempts with "Let me finish". When he finally let her speak she made an intentional pause. You may interpreted it as she saw the light in Keyes arguement and it made her speechless but the truth is she could care less what he or anyone was saying - she had her own agenda and she was not about to be persuaded. The pause was intended as a payback for keeping her silent. After the pause she did accuse Keyes of sermonizing.

[Bonaparte]

Funny how different people see Alan's style. Some think he's overbearing. I have often found myself screaming at the tv, "What are you waiting for, Alan? Nail the SOB! Don't let him rattle on like that. Who's show is this? Go for the throat!" LOL!
