I frankly don't care if you agree with my stand on abortion. I take that stand because no other stand is consistent with decent principles, and no other standard is consistent with the will of God.

Nothing is so opportune for tyrants as a people tired of its liberty.
Alan Keyes
Image
The gospel of licentiousness, of selfishness, of blaming all the difficulties of life on external factors - these are the things that are killing people today in ways that the slave whips and the overseers couldn't.
Alan Keyes
Image
Rights come from God and only from God.
Alan Keyes
Image
The act of voting is one opportunity for us to remember that our whole way of life is predicated on the capacity of ordinary people to judge carefully and well.
Alan Keyes
Image
At the root of the assault on our liberties is, in fact, an assault on our character--an assault that assumes that we are not good enough to be free, and that aims to make sure that we are no longer strong enough, courageous enough, disciplined enough to be a free people.

The person you call 'President Obama and I frankly refuse to call him that... at the moment, he is somebody who is kind of an 'alleged usurper' who is alleged to be someone who is occupying that office without constitutional warrant to do so.

The answer to crime is not gun control, it is law enforcement and self-control.
Alan Keyes
Image
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.
Alan Keyes
Image
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.
Alan Keyes
Image
Without the basis in written law, and without the basis in our Constitution ratified by the people, judges can't make laws. And if we accept the notion that their dictates are law, then we have not only submitted to tyranny, we have abandoned a republican form of government.
Alan Keyes
Image
Increasingly, I wonder if there are any outrages that would be sufficiently ominous in their effects upon liberty and unequivocal in their moral perversity to awaken the American people to the tyrannical spirit that envelopes the Clinton White House.
Alan Keyes
Image
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.
Alan Keyes

Politics must be founded on the solid faith of God almighty
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.
Alan Keyes

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.
Alan Keyes
Image
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.

Selfish hedonism is not a pejorative. It is a description - an exactly accurate description of what is involved in homosexual relations.
Alan Keyes
Image
It's in the private places of the heart that freedom is made or unmade by the discipline we create there.
Alan Keyes
Image
How does it secure the blessings of liberty to our posterity, to those generations yet unborn, to kill them, aborting them in the womb?

I deeply resent the destruction of federalism represented by Hillary Clinton's willingness to go into a state she doesn't even live in and pretend to represent the people there, so I certainly wouldn't imitate it.
