A personal story you might find interesting:
I was with Alan in Denver during the Democrat National Convention. He gave four speeches in two days to various groups around the city. One was to the assembled Minutemen. We walked onto the park grounds where the rally was taking place and there were about a half dozen Minutemen security guys standing together praying. They saw Dr. Keyes and came over to us and greeted him. One of them asked who was handling his security. Alan looked at me, smiled, and then turned back to the gentleman and said, "you were just over there talking to Him."
The Minutemen looked at him blankly for a second, until it sunk in what he was talking about. When it dawned on them, the look on their faces was pricelesss.
The God of my strength, in whom I will trust;
My shield and the horn of my salvation,
My stronghold and my refuge;
My Savior, You save me from violence.
- II Samuel 22:3

Until a friend sent me an email about it on Friday, I hadn’t read Senator Coburn’s speech. But on Thursday evening in Hastings, Nebraska, when asked about Obama’s policies, I said that he is a radical communist, and that if Americans who care about liberty (i.e., who don’t want to put a stake in its heart?) do nothing to stop him he’ll bring about the destruction of the United States.
Though I never watch Keith Olbermann’s drivel or anything else on MSNBC (and advise others to practice the same abstinence) I read that in response to my comments he questioned my sanity.
If I’m out of my mind, I guess I’m not the only one.
I also read that Olbermann tried to make something sinister out of my saying that unless Obama is stopped (in his efforts to establish a communist state) the U.S. will be destroyed. Compared to the sort of language used against say, Ronald Reagan and G.W. Bush by Democrat and left wing-critics, this is a polite and reasonable exhortation to political action. However the effort to construe it as something else smacks of the tactics employed at the famous show-trials of Stalin’s era, even as Olbermann’s suggestion of insanity brings to mind the communist practice of committing dissidents to psychiatric hospitals. Could their use of such tactics be the reason Olbermann and his “We’re all socialists now” Newsweek buddies (like his guest for the segment, Jonathan Alter) don’t want us using the “C” word? We might remember the tactics of communist repression, and notice some similarities.

That was one very touching story about your encounter with him in the Denver Park, EternalVigilance.
WOW.
Keyes only impresses me more.
Great story---a man who lives his faith. What a beautiful thing!
That’s a pretty neat story.
