Sorry, but Allah is not the Christian God.. this blanket statement that if you are monotheist you pray to the same god as every other Monotheist is nonsense.
Whether he becomes the President or not,he must be in the cabinet in perhaps a new position such as “Navigator.”
That does not translate into qualifications for national leadership though.
Having voted for him in 1996, I have now come to believe he is the modern-day William Jennings Bryan...
Those who think Alan Keyes’ foremost quality is his speaking ability are just plain wrong. To believe that is to completely misunderstand and miss the source of his speaking power. Jesus said, “Out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaks.” Alan has devoted his entire life to deeply internalizing the founding principles of this country, and the philosophy that drove its founding, more than anyone else I know of in America. That’s why he can talk the way he does. It flows out of him like water from an artesian well. Do you know of anyone else in American politics who can speak eloquently from his heart about the deep principles on which our country was built for hours, if necessary, without notes or teleprompter?
But this is a man with extensive foreign policy experience. One of the jobs he did for Ronald Reagan was to fight the forces of state-sponsored terrorism. He fought the racist Soviet “Zionism is racism” propaganda ploy and defeated it. He had a big part in writing and negotiating the Mexico City Policy. Etc., etc., etc.
And his work on behalf of the entire conservative agenda across America over the last decade or so is unparalleled.
He’s far more than just a good talker. In fact, it’s kind of insulting. Kinda like Joe Biden calling Obama “clean” and “articulate.”
I am well aware of his abilities--I wouldn't have supported him for president in the '96 primary if I weren't.
But he is more like a John the Baptist than Abraham Lincoln--he needs a skill set like the latter IMO...
What the hell are you doing bringing common sense and intelligence into a thread like this? Are you sure you aren’t going to some other thread?
Thank you. Your post is a much needed reprieve from the stupidity surrounding this issue.
The reactions I have witnessed are, shall we say, less than Christian. I love the part where these religious midgets question the faith and sincerity of the man who TAUGHT BIBLE CLASSES back in his home state. I KNOW that he can run rings against any of these holier-than-thou trolls in his theology and Biblical knowledge.
With “christians” like the people I see here, I’m more comfortable with the “infidels” and “heretics”. Bin Laden and his murdering hirabists and the “kill em all/everyone is going to hell except me and my groupies” are just two-side of the same ugly, bigotted, and hateful coin tainting the name and doctrine of the Almighty Lord.
Only God can give Dr Keyes the discernment he has, none else!
hello, SW. thanks for stopping by and reading the article.
PING
My understanding is that Republican people in MI strongly favor Romney because some remember his father, the liberal former governor who once ran American Motors.
I just love this man!
Hey, when we make him the nominee, he will definitely give the keynote speech! :-)
Me too. He is without peer.

Agreed. He is a good man.
Dr. Keyes spoke to the Texas Alliance for Life annual banquet last night and did so eloquently, without attacking our President.
I came away with the impression of a man who is not only brilliant with a gift for simply speaking the most elegant logic, but one filled with the knowledge of the love and hope as a gift of the Lord.
However, this discussion about the President is not as loving or hopeful.
Well, he’s simply saying that the President lacks the quality of thoughtfulness, the life-long habit of deeply thinking through the most important things. I find it hard to disagree, all things considered. He’s not a stupid man.
Sounds like it was a truly great event.
