[Keyes For President]

But safeguarding the souls of children largely consists of protecting them from hearing about, thinking about or – God forbid – experiencing perverse possibilities that they would never consider on their own. Unfortunately, sometimes this means that decent parents become too childlike – coming to believe that no one would seriously propose such perversities, or seek their acceptance. It is the Achilles heel of the struggle for innocence that we can so convince ourselves that certain things are unthinkable and unspeakable that we lose vigilance in opposing those who are quite ready to think, speak and do the most monstrous things.

Hence the perverse service that Joycelyn Elders has performed by contributing a preface to a new book by Judith Levine, "Harmful To Minors: The Perils of Protecting Children From Sex." If you have somehow managed to believe that the institution of childhood itself is not under attack, think again. This book explicitly advocates the view that sexual activity among young people is a good thing, and that sexual relations between adults and children aren't necessarily bad. And Dr. Elders has helpfully contributed a sanitizing aura of "educational" legitimacy to sugarcoat this very real poison.

Alan Keyes is my favorite defender of the "ancient landmarks". He's always been quite clear that for a civilization/culture to maintain it's physical and mental health, the boundries and taboos of sex must be observed.

Sexual connection with animals, same-sex, corpses, children, incest and adultery are to be severely restricted if an all-around healthy society is to exist.

It's a matter of survival.....and then some....

Of course, he is correct.

The family is the most basic unit in our society...morals and values should be taught there in the atmosphere of loving parents concerned with the welfare of their children....

Human beings are not rutting animals contrary to what Ediot Elders would have the world believe....and if we were, we would not have society....there would be herds and flocks.

"It is a simple fact of human experience that the tides of passion must begin to swell before the ability to handle those passions can develop. "

Alan Keyes is always so right about everything.

[FragileMagic]

The proposal that young children can be beneficially "informed" about and then manage sexual practices is at best utterly morally obtuse. Whatever the "liberationists" may claim for the child, what invariably occurs is exploitation.

This is the most proffound thing i have ever read!

I agree with Keyes on most issues and would support him in a race against any Democrat. His style is a bit over board for my personal tastes.

As far him not being president, it's plain hard for anyone to be elected having only held an ambassadorship. Not since James Buchanan was elected in 1856, has someone whose only political experience was as an ambassador been elected president of the United States. Remember how much heat George Bush took for being "unexperience" by the media - and Bush was a governor of Texas.
