[Keyes For President]

These guys are all caught up in the Post-Modern relativism and "discourse" obsessions - their invalidity more and more exposed with folks just like this guy.

Yet some think that Keyes was being impolite or abusive for exposing the invalidity of his argument and being outraged by his making excuses for these atrocious acts of terror.

Good post.

The murder of these children makes my blood boil.

This violence will not subside until Israel expels all Palestinians from its' borders, and even then, it will not be over.

They are out of control....millions of them inflamed by decades of hatemongering and racism disguised as religion by their leaders. Very similar to cult leaders among lonely, purposeless students and gang leaders in the fatherless inner cities, only on a widespread scale....involving mobs who proudly murder babies and women....one or a thousand.

I imagine that our President lives vicariously through comments like those stated by Alan Keyes and Lou Dobbs....wishing for one moment that his words didn't have to be weighed so carefully, didn't have such widespread repercussions. Just thinking about what he must face daily in the security briefings stays my hand when I'm tempted to turn accuser.

Why am I not surprised he wrote "The Arab Image." He's all about images and discourses, I suspect. His e-mail is there to, but I don't post that stuff. :)
