Keyes Enters the Fray

Alan Keyes, who ran for the 1996 and 2000 Republican presidential nominations, and the 2004 Republican nominee for a U.S. Senate seat from Illinois (despite the fact that he was from Maryland), has announced that he is running for the GOP presidential nomination yet again.

His three most important campaign issues:
The top three issues, I think, at the moment, are clear. We have got to restore our respect for Declaration principle by defending life, and making it clear that life begins at conception and must be respected, from that moment, as the will of the Creator, God, because that's what the Declaration establishes as our principle, and what the Constitution says we owe to our "posterity." That has to be clearly done, and clearly established.

Number two would be the restoration of our allegiance to and respect for God's authority, especially when it comes to clear moral decisions like marriage, where we need to restore the sense that the God-given family is an unalienable right. I wrote about this, in articles that I've done over the last several weeks, trying to restore a sense of what our principles really mean, when it come to decisions like this.

And finally, across the board, I would be trying to restore the moral character and morale and sense of our commitment to our basic moral values, starting in the area of national sovereignty, both in terms of our security from terrorism, and especially the security of our borders, and our assertion of the sovereignty of the American people, which our elites have been betraying and trying to throw away.
This can only help the Democrats. Keyes is perhaps the one political figure in America who can make George W. Bush look liberal. His fascist leanings come shining through; and with him in the race America will clearly see how terribly off course the Republican Party has become since the days of Goldwater and Reagan.
