Two gems from the great Alan Keyes

First, read this:

The battle with the Obama faction is in the end a struggle to determine whether this moral concept of humanity will continue to be the basis for American government, or whether it will be replaced by a moral vision that discards the whole idea of a distinctive human nature so that human beings can be treated simply as objects for manipulation by an all powerful administrative state. At the grassroots many Americans, regardless of political labels, instinctively grasp what is at stake. They long for leaders who also understand, and will rise to defend the moral idea of America, from which so many have gained inspiration and hope, and for which so many have risked or given their lives.

Then, this (which begins with a wonderful Tolkien reference that applies to RINOs, their enablers, and, of course, liberals):

For all their talk of opposition to the Democrat left, the core, defining commitment of these Republican Party bosses may well be their tacit opposition to the moral convictions of the conservative grass roots. This supposition makes sense of their determined efforts to belittle and silence the voices that most sincerely and coherently articulate views consistent with the moral inclinations and common sense of conservative voters. It makes sense of their otherwise irrational preference for promoting left-leaning "pro-choice moderates" (like Arnold Schwarzenegger or that deceptively incongruous Obama supporter, Colin Powell) into the public eye. It makes sense of their otherwise unaccountable unwillingness to draw out and rely on the electoral majority (evident once again this week in the vote to overturn the homosexual marriage law enacted by the Maine Legislature, under the influence of the state's vanguard cultural elitists) that obviously exists based on the common grassroots moral conviction against the move to discard the God-ordained natural family. The referendums on such issues generally produce conservative outcomes. So, if every political contest were turned into a referendum on such issues...

This doesn't happen because a vanguard cultural elite, transcending party lines and ideological divisions, works to make sure it doesn't. They backed Arlen Specter rather than the conservative, pro-life candidate being raised up by the conservative grass roots in Pennsylvania. They back Schwarzenegger rather than the conservative pro-life candidate being lifted up by the conservative grass roots in California. They back Trey Grayson rather than Bill Johnson, the Reagan conservative rising from among grassroots conservatives in Kentucky. Would these vanguard elitists rather have a crypto-Islamic, national socialist with a predilection for Caesarism (the alien-sounding term "czar" applied to Obama's unconstitutional White House dictators is just the Slavic rendering of Caesar) at the political helm than a genuine conservative who pays more than lip service to the belief in God and decent liberty that is characteristic of many American voters? The vanguard elitists sporting the Republican label happily gather and spend millions of dollars on the research and advertising needed to turn unappealing "moderate" mediocrities into viable candidates for office. Put behind conservatives really in tune with grassroots conviction, fewer resources would produce a more assured result, calling forth the conservative majority artfully installed for purposes of manipulation behind the contrived façade of the current two-party electoral sham. The whole point of the sham is to prevent that majority from realizing its true strength.
