By the way, I just listened to Alan on Jan Mickelson's program in Des Moines, Iowa (Jan's show is the premiere conservative talk show in the state). Alan and Jan had a great time together, joking and enjoying each others company and intellectual stimulation. At the same time, they discussed in depth great issues and principles and beautifully put them in the context of our current political landscape.
That's the Alan I love and admire...and there wasn't a lick of arrogance or any of that associated with it at all. I hate to be like a broken record, but I just think the man is a national treasure.
As if there are thousands of politicians, let alone statesmen, out there willing, let alone able, to discuss the Constitution or Declaration of Independence!
Am I the only one that noticed that the current occupant of 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue couldn't even use the word "Constitution" during his run for office---when talking of taking the oath he would defend the laws and bring dignity and honor----as though that is even a part of the oath! Furthermore, when he was talking of Supreme Court nominees, he used the words 'strict constructionists'---he couldn't do that because they would vote down all this unconstitutional bs that he is for!
Where's all the others--the DeLays, the Lotts, the Gramms, the Armeys, the Hasterts, the Watts, the Craig, the Nichols.....why aren't they out front beating the drum....hmmmmmm? Yep--just bring on all those other well-known beings to get the ball rolling.....the damnable Democrats at least use the word "Constitution" more than the GOP does!!!!
I think you are correct. AND, there are many things I admire about Alan Keyes. I just disagree with his approach at times, and I wish he'd spend more of his time criticizing liberals and less criticizing fellow Republicans. I'm not saying there isn't room to criticize some of them, maybe even most of them, I just think it would be more productive to criticize "the other side".
