Kagan also disqualified by ignorance of Ninth Amendment

Speaking of unalienable rights, the GOP's handling of the Kagan nomination thus far offers new evidence that the Party's current leadership remains obtusely indifferent to the tragic watershed Kagan's nomination represents for the American republic.  In response to a question from Tom Coburn of Oklahoma, she refused to support the fundamental notion that all people have unalienable rights.  With the deceitful pseudo-cleverness now characteristic of those hostile to the principles of the Constitution, she pretended that as a Supreme Court justice she would be obliged to deal only with the rights enumerated in the Constitution. Of course this seemingly astute maneuver simply confirms her incompetent or willful ignorance of the Constitution's provisions.  The ninth amendment clearly states that   "the enumeration in the Constitution of certain rights shall not be construed to deny or disparage others retained by the ...

Report from the road

Since last Wednesday I've been traveling, mainly to attend and speak to a Faith and Liberty conference in Denver, CO over the weekend.  Hence the hiatus in postings. Yesterday I also had the great privilege and satisfaction of meeting Walter Hoye, the inspiring pro-life champion from California, and Bishop Porter one of the stalwart and outspoken Christian leaders of efforts in Colorado to restore respect for the God-given rights family and innocent life. We all participated in a press conference in support of Amendment 62, through which the people of Colorado will have the chance to affirm the truth that human offspring are persons not property. To learn more, visit the Personhood Colorado website.  I would urge not only pro-lifers, but all people who care about our preserving our unalienable rights and the liberty we derive from them, to support this cause in any way you can.  So far, this is the ...

What was Shirley Sherrod’s real offense?

They say that in war truth is the first casualty. If so, the experience of Shirley Sherrod points to the potentially tragic truth about America's present political situation. On Monday night Fox news reported the story of an episode in which, as a USDA official "she appeared to deny a farmer help because he was white…." In fact, the remarks were only part of a seemingly edifying account of how she felt and overcame the impulse of racial resentment so that "working with him helped me to see that it wasn't just a black and white issue." Andrew Breitbart's anti-socialist website Biggovernment.com began the sequence of events that reportedly led a USDA deputy undersecretary to inform Sherrod that "the White House wanted her to resign... They called me twice… the last time they asked me to pull over the side of the road and submit my resignation on ...

Why Obama is America’s most (not post-) racial politician

I just read a piece by Dick Morris, the former high level Bill Clinton operative now accepted as a  politically savvy "conservative" pundit. In "The End of the Post-racial Presidency" he appears to lament the fact the "Obama is letting his supporters strip away his image of a post-racial president by their increasingly racial rhetoric and his support for radical black activists." Then he joins the pack of GOP partisans that has gleefully played up "Attorney General Eric Holder's refusal to prosecute the new Black Panther members so obviously guilty of racial intimidation at the Philadelphia polling places in 2008." After alluding to Obama's pathetic effort to portray as racists people demanding enforcement of U.S. immigration laws, he concludes that Obama "is increasingly taking sides in the old racial debates, reigniting them and lending new fuel to their flames. He is…retreating into the racial cocoon of a supportive ...

U.S. power elite demands rejection of Creator God?

Back in 2008 I went to Des Moines, Iowa to participate in the debate among candidates for the Republican presidential nomination sponsored by the Des Moines Register. During a radio interview I was doing in that context, the interviewer made a remark (while we were chatting off air, as I recall) that came back to me today as I read Professor Angelo Codevilla's eye-opening piece, America's Ruling Class and the Perils of Revolution.  The interviewer bluntly observed that given my commitment to God and liberty, the GOP leadership must look upon me as a traitor to my class. I think there are fewer people today than at the time who would fail to understand what he meant. Thanks to Professor Codevilla's perspicacious piece, there will soon be fewer still. (I realize that 'perspicacious' is one of those polysyllabic words the "dumb 'em down" stylists say we should avoid, but ...

Throw the Dems out- a sequel

For today's article at WorldNetDaily I chose to share with WND's larger audience the piece I posted here on Monday about what I think needs to be the first objective in the November election for voters anxious to preserve constitutional liberty in the United States. In it I say bluntly that the very best outcome would be to vote all the Democrats out. I also make clear that handing the Republicans an overwhelming majority will not by itself guarantee the failure of those who seek to overthrow the U.S. Constitution. It will simply put the GOP on the spot with no excuse for failing unequivocally to reject the socialist coup the Obama faction is determined to carry out. People who insist on believing that the socialists and so-called liberals in the Democrat Party are alone responsible for the threat to American liberty may misunderstand what I have written ...

'Despicable him', aka NASA's fractured fairy tale

DAILY BRIEFS #5 I just saw an AP report that "The White House is contradicting the NASA administrator's claim that...Obama assigned him to reach out to Muslims on science matters....White House press secretary Robert Gibbs said Monday that such activities are not among Bolden's assigned tasks.  He said administration officials have spoken with NASA about the matter." Okay.  What are the odds that a sane official would make up such a story?  If Charles Bolden fabricated or imagined such an assignment, a psychiatric evaluation would seem to be in order.  So what's easier to believe, that the NASA Administrator has been taken over by Islamophilic aliens, or that the Obamanauts are ( dare we say it) lying? If they are telling the truth, we should expect to get prompt word of Bolden's resignation;  or at the very least, of his long planned departure for a much needed rest. If they're not telling the truth ...

Loyal to Liberty’s first anniversary

February 4, 2010 · 3 comments

It was just a little over a year ago that I posted the first article on this website.  I would have overlooked that fact, but in the past few days I’ve gotten anniversary notices that I can’t ignore, reminding me that I have to renew some of the basic services (domain names, web forwarding, post office box, etc.) that support the site.
Since it now looks like the site is good for the long haul, renewing the services for more than one year would result in significant savings.
I have tried to keep fund raising requests to a minimum.  But birthdays are always an acceptable occasion for gift giving, so I hope all of you would consider making a donation to the effort.  Besides helping to defray the cost of service renewals, a good result would also let me do some advertising-something I’ve had to suspend for some time now due to resource limitations.  I am also working on a major revision of the site to make it more user friendly, and to take advantage of some of the great features an up-to-date redesign can incorporate.
So please consider expressing your good wishes for this site’s continued good health as we enter a year that will surely be among the most critical the American republic has ever faced.  It would be a good way to let me know that you think the articles here, and the discussion they provoke, make a worthwhile contribution to the work that needs to be done to restore and preserve our liberty.
Just click the donation button below, or go to the”Support this site” notice in the left hand column (The info there includes the address for sending something by mail.) No contribution is too small, and of course more generous help will be well used and greatly appreciated.
In addition to whatever monetary help you can give, I ask as well for your prayers.  Moral renewal is the key to restoring our liberty, but spiritual revival is the key to that renewal.  Prayers are what we need to unlock the truly indispensable resource, which is the gracious help God offers us in Christ.
Godspeed,
Alan Keyes

Congradulations Dr. Keyes. I came in here shortly after this blog was started but had no clue how "young" it was. Right away I was impressed with the strength and scope of topics and arguments. I have spread the word as much as possible and I pray that the message continues to grow in this increasingly desparate society.

I look forward to being enlightened every time I come in here. Thank you for your devotion to the truth.

This is a video of bringing back G-d into public schools. A background, the Lubabitcher Rebbe,Rabbi Menachem Mendel Scheerson of blessed memory (who was one of the greatest Jewish leaders of the 20th century, and his teaching are is the basis of so many Jewish outreach centers all over the globe) he has a mission for public schools to have a moment of silence for prayer. I share this because I believe those like Dr.Keyes, who are G-d fearing people and a true friend of Jews, can share in how all people understanding the importance of thinking about G-d, and starting the day with a prayer.

Dr. Keyes, HAPPY ANNIVERSARY! I did not realize it had been that long – and the long legged mack daddy is STILL in OUR White House! BUT many people are still working to justify that, thanks to your insight and education. Thank you.

I am unemployed at the moment, but would be willing to help out the cause, praying that GOD would bless the amount I send to do abundant work and educate many more as to why we are in the position we are in, in this country.

I read your link to the left here at the "MOMMY" blog. I read several of her posts and the comments and saw once again why our forefathers thought it prudent to not have every idiot voting. Not to sway elections per se, but because everyone does not really have a stake in our country. Not even some of its citizens.

It is better for stupid people to just be blissful in their stupidity. They need not have the right to destroy what others have worked so hard to build. The image of an one armed person with only a left arm being given an oar and told to row a boat on their right side comes to mind. It' s possible, but they would most likely move to the side they FEEL more comfortable with.

Of course, that is just a wild comparison, probably not as descriptive as it could be, but I see most of us voters as having oars. WE are the ones who make this country work. I guess maybe it is healthy to have people on both sides of the boat – it has worked for hundreds of years, but seems as though while the captain is sleeping (we don't really HAVE a captain right now, do we?) that many are pretending to be on one side of the boat, but are really not rowing. They are in the middle trying to see what the left is doing and how they can row like them.

I am not impressed with Senator Ron Paul because to me he is just another Obama. He wants to CHANGE America into HIS image. And from the little I have read of his son, he sounds like he is not as vocal and out there as his dad, but a little slicker with his words (or rather those of his handlers) and well versed in political maneuvering (telling lies) to win elections.

If we do not get a handle on the fact that these people will lie, cheat, steal and kill to get to and hold on to these positions of power they so lustfully desire, we are going to keep suffering in this country. Just like the lie they put out today that unemployment has gone down. Yeah… right…

We need to get it together and fast. Once this election cycle is over in November, we will be STUCK in whatever happens for TWO MORE YEARS. Can we afford that morally OR financially? Is it worth the pride and arrogance I hear and read from the arguments of "people on the right" to put our children's future at risk? We are more interested in our perceptions than the reality of who we are voting for? THIS IS NOT AMERICAN IDOL PEOPLE.
