The money we spend on education should follow the choice of the parents, not the choice of educrats, bureaucrats, politicians, who, unfortunately, have been manipulating this process in their own career interests, not in the interests of our young people.
Alan Keyes
Image
When we surrender moral government to the courts, we have surrendered the very essence of freedom we have surrendered its only real meaning, and we will not be free again until we get it back.

In this respect, granting homosexuals the right to marry is like granting plantation owners the right to own slaves.

It is not for us to calculate our victory or fear our defeat, but to do our duty and leave the rest in God's hands.

The right response when, in the army, you are given an unlawful order, is to refuse that order. The right response of a chief executive in this state and in this nation, when faced with an order by a court that he conscientiously believes violates the constitution he is sworn to respect, is to refuse their order!

I accept the Republican nomination for the U.S. Senate, to represent the State of Illinois.

We stand on no high moral plateau in our time. We are, in fact, plumbing depths of depravity unknown to our ancestors--and whatever may have been the evil in which they engaged, at least they were willing to acknowledge the principle by which their evil was condemned. We have even turned our back on the principle.

Rights come from God and only from God.
Alan Keyes
Image
If we accept the logic of the Declaration, reverence for God is not just a matter of religious faith, it is the foundation of justice and citizenship in our republic.

Either you can subscribe to the American creed which says that God endowed us with our rights, or you can subscribe to the abortion creed which says that those rights are the consequences of our mother's will.

Obama is a radical communist and I think it is becoming clear. That is what I told people in Illinois and now everybody realizes it is coming true. He is going to destroy this country and we are either going to stop him or the United States of America is going to cease to exist.

There can be no self-government without self-discipline. There can be no self-government without self-control. There can be no liberty unless it is grounded in moral discipline and the ability to do what is right.

Christ would not vote for Barack Obama because Barack Obama has voted to behave in a way that it is inconceivable for Christ to have behaved.

Our leaders will serve the common good with better laws and better actions only when we serve it first, by casting better votes.

If the Declaration of Independence states our creed, there can be no right to abortion, since it means denying the most fundamental right of all to the unborn child, the right to life.

Christians belong in American politics because there is not and cannot be a fundamental separation between our moral vocation and our citizenship.
