He taps into an anger level that most Americans simply cannot deal with. He's SO passionate, that he comes off too angry, rather than passionately involved. All the little (and there are thousands of them) sheep who can't deal with conflict to save their lives...and the rest of us, who need a bit of a break at the end of the day, hear Alan rant, and say...I agree, but I just can't deal with that intensity level right now.
Any of you all agree?

I agree that Keyes comes off as angry, because he IS angry.
He's pissed that he has to deal with the rabble of the American public. Because, you see, Alan is perfect. Everything he says is perfect. What's more, he KNOWS he's perfect. He's moral, and we're not.
He has a very high opinion of himself, and he wallows in the praise he gets from sycophants like you.
Alan despises having to deal with the day-to-day, preferring to float on the clouds of moral indignation and sanctimony.
If there were a role of "National Preacher," Alan could certainly run for it, and might win it.
But, after the third sermon, everybody would be bored to death!
IMO, Alan is one of a very small number of persons whose emotions align perfectly with their intellects. When the truth is at stake, passion is appropriate. Unfortunately, this frightens many people. Fighting injustice demands... fighting. And most people don't want to get their hands dirty.
RevelationWe all have to fight against our own indifference to the truth.I know your deeds, that you are neither cold nor hot. I wish you were either one or the other! 16So, because you are lukewarm--neither hot nor cold--I am about to spit you out of my mouth.
