We may well soon be subjected to anything that judges want to enforce.... The result will be an enforced inability of the states to pass laws that reflect the principled judgment of their own citizens....And as our Founders taught us so well, ...[that] will be the end of liberty and the establishment of tyranny in America.

The travesty of slavery wasn't physical abuse. It was the moral abuse of looking at a human being as if they are an animal.
Alan Keyes
Image
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.

It is the absence of bars that makes a beast free - but only the truth can make a man free.

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.

We have created an educational system, funded throughout the country by taxpayer dollars, that systematically turns our children away from the truth that makes them free.
Alan Keyes

When we, through our educational culture, through the media, through the entertainment culture, give our children the impression that human beings cannot control their passions, we are telling them, in effect, that human beings cannot be trusted with freedom.

Black Americans make up 10 or 11% of the population, but they account now for something of 40 to 45% of all the abortions. This is a privileged position that I'm not sure anyone in their right mind would aspire to.

That money was for working eight to twelve hour days ... it was not a welfare check.

The fundamental premise of liberalism is the moral incapacity of the American people.
Alan Keyes
Image
The question isn't whether you have a good master or a bad master, it's to be your own master. That is the dignity of humanity.
Alan Keyes
Image
Our founders understood that divine authority was necessary in order to establish a ground on which the weak, the defenseless, the powerless, the poor and the wretched would be able to stand, in the face of every human power whatsoever, and demand respect for their human rights and dignity.

In this respect, granting homosexuals the right to marry is like granting plantation owners the right to own slaves.
Alan Keyes
Image
Where do find the most persecuted Christians in the world?... in the classrooms of our government schools, where the assault is not upon the body, but the soul.
Alan Keyes
Image
Preferential affirmative action patronizes American blacks, women, and others by presuming that they cannot succeed on their own. Preferential affirmative action does not advance civil rights in this country.

How does it secure the blessings of liberty to our posterity, to those generations yet unborn, to kill them, aborting them in the womb?

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.

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.

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