Yes. It is unfortunate Keyes is shut out, but as for his run for the helm, I think he has already won. Only Alan Keyes has demonstrated genuine brilliance, courage and Christian dignity. In him, Americans have arrived, once again, at their Rubicon. And once again, they have failed themselves. Keyes will not take the helm simply because Americans are unworthy of his leadership.
Congratulations on your man's victory in S.C. However, I see he did not win anything. He merely lowered himself to McCain's level and found himself supported in correspondence to the well established mediocrity of South Carolina.
What is truly more impressive is that Alan Keyes, a Roman Catholic black man who is married to someone of another race, boldly entered into a den crawling with racist "babtists," and in a manner similar to Jesus taught them the brutal truth-- in love. Serious Roman Catholics everywhere ought to be proud of him (Dang! I wish he were Protestant). I am a Protestant, certainly no friend of the Roman Church, but I cannot deny the truth: the black Roman Catholic out-Jesused, out-Christianed and generally out-loved the lilly white babtists in South Carolina (perhaps most of whom on any given Sabbath would count themselves better than any black or Roman Catholic). Keyes's action is the most impressive thing that has happened in the 2000 elections thus far. Unfortunately folk are too corrupt to understand and value it. |
