 Compendium of speeches by America's most thoughtful and eloquent statesman May 14, 2008
Dr. Keyes represents my views on a wide range of issues better than any other presidential candidate since I began voting in 1972. One thing that was especially cool about this book is that the speech selected as Chapter 1 -- a 9-minute talk at 1995 Republican event in New Hampshire -- is also available in online video archive at Alan Keyes' 2008 presidential campaign website -- http://www.alankeyes.com
I write this in May 2008, and am glad that my favored candidate is now running for President as an independent. These are extraordinary times, warranting extraordinary levels of effort by citizens who want to see our nation embrace again the fundamental principles expressed in Declaration of Independence and our Constitution. Here in Maryland, as in states across the nation, his candidacy has prompted the petitioning for ballot access by new independent party. The Maryland Independent Party plans to enthusiastically offer Alan Keyes the use of our slot on the November 2008 ballot
A Beacon Vital to America's Future May 9, 2008
The ideals, principles and values that are the foundation of this country are the only things that can sustain it. Alan Keyes knows this. See the light and be inspired...
Book arrived as described and arrived quickly January 7, 2008
Thanks for the book. It arrived on time and in the exact shape stated.
Finally, someone said it! December 21, 2007
Dr. Keyes makes a lot of sense when he talks about "moral responsibility". I'm sick of the attitude that "kids are just going to have sex so we might as well give them condoms". Hello! How about teaching them good morals? Even more importantly, how about living them out ourselves? This is a wake-up call to America, and even though this book was written 10 years ago, it is still very relevant today.
Presents His Position Effectively May 9, 2006
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
Alan Keyes makes a strong case that there is a link between the Christian heritage of the United States and God's blessings. He does so by presenting the facts and showing how the nation has strayed off course. Keyes has always been bold in articulating his convictions publicly. His approach is to let the chips fall where they will. He is courageous and straightforward.
The chapter I found particularly insightful was the one on consumerism. In it he explains that the media create "needs" for "perpetual teenagers." He contrasts this with maturity, i.e., self-control--which the media portrays negatively. He concludes that "consuming passion means self-destruction." The media feeds the consumerism impulse. It sells goods and services, but in the meantime media users' self-control grows weaker and weaker over time.
