Is Lakin’s court-martial an American ‘Dreyfus affair’?

I doubt that most people would be shocked to learn that sometimes the influence of power can interfere with and even derail the course of justice in our legal system.  Behind the scenes, a phone call from a powerful politician, or a corporate mogul often affects the actions or judgments of people whose personal ambitions they are in a position to help or hinder.  Usually though, people giving heed to such considerations have enough sense to cloak what they do with words or actions that give their corruption at least the appearance of probity.  Maybe its the tribute that vice renders to virtue.  Maybe its nothing more than self-serving prudence (the mask of honesty that facilitates corruption.) However, when court officers conclude that such hypocrisy is no longer worth the effort, things are pretty far gone.  The video featured with this post  focuses on the recent decision by Col. Denise R. ...

Planned Parenthood’s moral insanity

Daily Brief #13 The video featured on this page is a news report out of Texas about a pro-life billboard campaign just launched there by the Radiance Foundation and the Life Education Resource Network (L.E.A.R.N.).  It’s an effort to focus attention on the disproportionate number of nascent blacks being murdered in Texas under the rubric of abortion rights. What especially provoked my interest was criticism of the project from a Planned Parenthood spokeswoman quoted in the report.  “This is about trying to interfere with women making private personal decisions and unfortunately and really shockingly, this group has decided to use racism as a wedge issue,” Rochelle Tafolla said. “We think that  is just reprehensible…” So its reprehensible to focus an individual’s attention on the impact her individual action has on her community.  Could there be a more perfect illustration of Planned Parenthood’s moral insanity? In many U.S. communities today local laws encourage or even ...

Was Jesus a leader?

Daily Brief #12 “Asked who would be considered conservative Christian leaders today- with Graham in his 90s and the recent death of Jerry Falwell – Land said that “leaders are leaders because people follow them.”  So says Richard Land. Every year as we approach the commemoration of Christ’s passion, crucifixion and resurrection the people Jesus has saved recall his triumphal entry into Jerusalem. And the most part of the multitude spread their garments in the way; others cut branches from the trees, and spread them in the way.  And the multitudes that went before him, and that followed, cried, saying, Hosanna to the son of David: Blessed is he that cometh in the name of the Lord; Hosanna in the highest.” Judging by the multitudes that followed him, and the words of Richard Land, in this grand triumphal entry, Jesus was a leader. But after he drove the money lenders from the Temple, confounded the ...

A Meditation on Glenn Beck’s Divine Mission

[I have been in prayerful thought about the events taking place this weekend under Glenn Beck’s auspices.  He portrays them as the beginning of a Great Revival of faith in America.  People I know and think well of are involved.  Yet I find I cannot ignore the check in my spirit that prevents me from accepting that the events or their sponsor are what he professes them to be.  This posting is an effort to lay out the elements that contribute to my misgivings, insofar as they are susceptible to articulation.  Herein I attempt to share a train of thought and the destination toward which  it points.   Is it the right one? With God’s help, time may tell.] Glenn Beck: “I mean, the one part of culture that I am doing a lot of is faith.  But general faith.  We have got to get back to our churches, our synagogues, our mosques, ...

Glenn Beck's hollow piety

As I expected, my  WND article this week has generated a remarkable reaction from readers, including a number of folks who express dismay at the fact that I (like Joseph Farah) would dare to question the sincerity of Glenn Beck's professions of respect for God just because he belittles the importance of the 'gay marriage' issue. . In answer to one such 'shame on you' email I sent the following response, which I think worth sharing here: Before wishing shame on me, it would repay your time to read what I have written on what the "gay marriage" issue involves.  If after doing so you can still accept Beck's careless disregard for God's priorities, I will still pray that God may open your eyes (as I pray for Glenn Beck). We can't defeat the so-called progressives by accepting their standards and priorities. I made no charges against Beck, as you ...

Mehlman’s gay revelation outs GOP elite's charade

Reflecting on Ken Mehlman’s revelation that he has been and is a practicing homosexual, I found myself thinking of Penelope, the wife of Homer’s Ulysses.  After the Greek victory over the Trojans, he took the long way home, so long in fact that his family pretty much gave him up for dead.  Penelope found herself besieged by suitors eager to try their hands at usurping Ulysses domain while before his son came of age to challenge them. Still loyal in hope and affection to her husband, Penelope devised the famous strategy by which she put off the day when she would be force to choose among the importunate parasites who had taken up residence in the royal compound.   She undertook to weave a shroud for the funeral of her aged father-in-law Laertes,  vowing to make her decision only after it was completed. Work on the shroud gave her the excuse to hold ...

Is ‘ruling class’ right for America?

Daily Brief #11 Having sapped the foundations of liberty for several decades, key elitist forces  are completing the emplacement of the economic and political WMD’s with which to overturn government of, by and for the people.  But thanks to the arrogance of the Obama faction, many Americans have awakened to the fact that we are in the midst of an assault against the sovereignty of the people. These Americans are praying, writing, gathering, speaking and organizing to produce what could be one of the most spectacular tidal waves of democratic revulsion this country has ever seen.  This is cause for hope and satisfaction.  But in political battle there are times when a change in language cedes victory to the enemy just as the contest reaches its tipping point. In this respect I’ve noticed that some people who seem sincerely committed to encouraging the rejection of totalitarian elitism are adopting a paradigm that ...

Trading liberty for tyranny

This is the link to my latest article at WND.com.

I also want to call your attention to a new addition to the Alan Keyes videos menu.  I’ve posted the unedited recording of the speech I gave to a pre-rally breakfast before the Tea Party rally in Pittsburgh in April, 2008.

Be prepared.

If you place your trust in man, you will find only betrayal in the end.

It’s no wonder the educational system has been demolished. It is easier to fool the uneducated. As a matter of fact, just this morning there was a program where it was reported one particular school district wanted to teach American history starting with the year 1877. How so very convenient to eliminate any mention of our founders and the Constitution itself, let alone the civil war. Combined with compromised Christian beliefs, the die is cast. Not only is the law of the land ignored, but the laws of God are mocked.

How does the saying go? If you don’t know where you’ve been how can you know where you are going? And does this ignorance not explain how politicians can tell bald faced lies, like our pathological usurper-in-chief? I, too, still have hope. Hope that we can turn this around. If for no other reason than the alternative is far too ghastly to contemplate. Don’t forget, national socialists have a tendency to cull the “less desirable” among us, including those who have the audacity to stand up to them.

Well put, Gilbertabrett! If we who agree with Dr. Alan Keyes would begin now to get others to go to this site, and listen to as well as read what he has to say, I think that would be the beginning of REAL hope. Character DOES matter, having good moral values DOES matter, and having intelligence and common sense, and listening to and not ignoring the natural law must be basic-all of these components should be the make up of any person desirous of becoming president. Dr. Keyes more than fills the bill. If America had any intelligence, he would have been president the first time he ran for the office. In this day and age that is a really big “if”. America seems to be waking up now, but, after so many years of being “dumbed down”, can we wise up fast enough?? Please God, have mercy on America.

Well I HOPE we get our say. Hope is still an alright word to use, eh?

I am not sure if people can stay awake that long in our country anymore. I mean the world stopped today to hear Tiger Woods READ a contrived piece of baloney so he could go back to work and continue being whatever kind of a man he THINKS he is. WHO is Tiger Woods? A little man that hits little balls with a metal stick. Wow… What a monumental person… I am so impressed… Puke…

The more I see and read of the United States in my lifetime, the more I see Rome. I don’t think the majority of Americans are knowledgeable, much less wise enough, to determine what kind of person should represent them in a government like ours. Most people in this country still think we are a democracy and do not KNOW WHAT a republic is.

Just looking at the video you have on the home page made me realize just how many of the Republicans are dumb as a box of rocks. I am sorry I ever belonged to such a misrepresentation of my beliefs. They remind me of vultures and are most certainly spineless cowards. They are not even capable of putting forth an agenda without the entertainment industry’s (“conservative talk radio”) leading. SAD…

I got a kick out of your spunk in that video, Dr. Keyes. I would have liked to have walked over to that woman and taken HER microphone. The looks on your face were priceless. Watching the people’s reactions on the graph really helps one to see why we are in the state we are in in this country, and WHY we will remain that way.

The only REAL hope is if people actually DO wake up and open their eyes. That is MY hope.
