I have been drunk with the idea that the Dems will lose the super-majority that they cheated to get (see Minnesota). I see now that Brown is no conservative and no one I want in office. But I also see that he prevents an ultra-liberal super majority. That alone makes his election worth it.

True, he leaves unsaid much that would probably be controversial, but such is the essential nature of electoral politics. You avoid talking about anything that would make anyone uncomfortable.<br /><br />There was (perhaps) a day when the American people as a whole would have been uncomfortable voting for the sort of people who now dominate their government. I imagine it was once common sense to acknowledge that liars and thieves with no moral scruples must not be entrusted with the powers of government. Or even to understand that the best security from tyranny is careful and consistent limitation of those powers.<br /><br />You live not in such time. Today, the conservative answer is to prepare to defend what is precious to you with the interposition of your own flesh and blood. This is not a pleasant answer to hear. Some may call it the counsel of despair. But the truth is that if you do not prepare to defend yourselves now there is no hope. Americans have always before understood that their natural right to provide for their personal defense was fully compatible with and protected by their government. If you are now forced to choose between standing ready to defend yourselves and full participation in the political process...then one of them is no longer worth doing.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7401694557024894060.post-65657715963421777612010-01-19T16:20:49.389-05:002010-01-19T16:20:49.389-05:00There has been one good thing come out of the Obam...There has been one good thing come out of the Obama presidency. Conservatives are now beginning to wake up and unite. I agree with you Mr. Keyes in that Brown is not a true conservative, but at least he is not a Reid rubber stamp like Kay Hagan in my state. I am not just praying but I am working to bring the GOP back together under the conservative banner. This will not be easy because Bush did so much damage it will take years of work to undo. Be sure it will not happen overnight. If Brown wins the election I will consider it a victory, however small, but a victory none the less.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17073365875807306763noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7401694557024894060.post-45861756853332945742010-01-19T12:39:58.066-05:002010-01-19T12:39:58.066-05:00I have a rather cynical view of this election and ...I have a rather cynical view of this election and political parties in general. My belief is that when one identifies to an extraordinary degree with one "party," they are no longer objective. They are bound by whatever the group embraces.

I'm fed up with holding my nose and stifling the gag reflex. After struggling with the idea I've come to the conclusion that a somewhat passive position is preferrable to an active support of evil.<br /><br />There are at least 2 reasons:<br /><br />One, it makes no sense to vote for a candidate who supports child sacrifice (with very few restrictions) and the abomination known as sodomy. He also supports state socialism. Can someone please tell me how such a position is so much better than national socialism? <br /><br />Two, not only does it confirm the status quo, it embeds it. When will we learn those who espouse God-given rights and the natural law can never be taken seriously so long as we continue to compromise our core beliefs. We will be taken for granted, but we won't be taken seriously. Recent history is proof enough.<br /><br />I know, the old argument goes something like "If we don't do something national socialism will destroy America." Yes, and your point is? I don't mean to sound heartless, for I know there will be great suffering. But don't we as a nation deserve a great chastisement? 50 million+ innocent and defenseless children of God have been slaughtered at the altar of Choice. And we still, stupidly, place our trust and hope in people. Corrupt people who are a part of a corrupt system.<br /><br />No. No more big tents and no more excuses. It's time to pray and time to fast. Then, perhaps, if we stop leaning unto our own understanding, Godly people will present for leadership a Godly leader.<br /><br />If not, well, we will surely get what we so richly deserve.Dawg_emhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03431372202391934379noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7401694557024894060.post-78042402636498486882010-01-19T00:05:31.349-05:002010-01-19T00:05:31.349-05:00Not sure why Alan Keyes waited until January 18 to...Not sure why Alan Keyes waited until January 18 to publish this.

BUT, there would be a better choice on the ballot than Scott Brown. Remember that this race resides in Massachusetts, arguably the most liberal state in the union. As distasteful as homosexual marriage and abortion are, there are other considerations. Seeing that they are going to have a pro-abortion senator no matter what, I would weigh the benefit/risk ratio on shaving one vote off the dems "filibuster proof" majority. Of course, with Olympia Snowe that may not matter. I would vote for the one who could do the least damage or most good. My husband would draw his line in the sand and write in his own name. He would like to take his chances with the democrat, hoping that MA would get a better conservative candidate the next time around. That's a valid analysis, too.MaryAnnHhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13197265517174703436noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7401694557024894060.post-16425548546161230462010-01-18T22:02:30.734-05:002010-01-18T22:02:30.734-05:00I was truly confused about this situation until I ...I was truly confused about this situation until I viewed it this way: If this guy was in Texas and I could vote for him I would not on principal even if it meant he lost.

Unlike Alan, when faced with 3 pro-abort candidates, I would select the one I felt would do the least amount of damage. I would do my best to educate him about abortion, homosexuality, and other social ills. But I cannot see wasting my vote on a write-in name, or not voting at all. No matter what you do, MA is going to have a pro-abort Senator. I guess I'm a realist not an idealist.<br /><br />I do not know how much unexpired time there is left on Teddy Kennedy's term. Perhaps one could hope when this seat comes around again for re-election, maybe there will be a REAL conservative in the hunt.MaryAnnHhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13197265517174703436noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7401694557024894060.post-72747544472886393242010-01-18T14:36:06.846-05:002010-01-18T14:36:06.846-05:00Well, Brown vs. Reagan leaves much to be desired. ...Well, Brown vs. Reagan leaves much to be desired.
