More quotes by Alan Keyes
Harden our hearts. To the innocents in the womb and we have hardened our hearts. To the need for compassion and mercy and. Fellow feeling. And charity. And decency in this world.
Alan Keyes
We must take away the government's credit card. With limits on both tax revenue and borrowing, the Federal government would finally be forced to get serious about spending cuts
Alan Keyes
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
It's like the neighborhood I would have grown up in, I think, if I had have grown up here.
Alan Keyes
[T]he great American statesman devotes his energy, ability, and wisdom to conforming himself and this people to the moral principles that gave this nation birth, are older than anything else in the country's soul, and yet retain the power to make us young again with the vigor of virtue and the zeal for justice.
Alan Keyes
The Declaration of Independence summarizes the civic principles of American life. It agrees with this biblical perspective when it affirms that we are all created equal and endowed by the Creator, God, with our unalienable rights.
Alan Keyes
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.
Alan Keyes
Christians belong in American politics because there is not and cannot be a fundamental separation between our moral vocation and our citizenship.
Alan Keyes
I read American sagas (of the west) and I do not see people who went in search of material things. I see people who wrote down that what they sought was an escape from an old world which dictated their conscience and established their merit based on who their parents.
Alan Keyes
Anything the government gives you is just another link in the chains that destroy your liberty.
Alan Keyes
The flag that was the symbol of slavery on the high seas for a long time was not the Confederate battle flag, it was sadly the Stars and Stripes.
Alan Keyes
The heart of government, coated with whatever velvet gloves you want to put on it, is a mailed fist of force and coercion.
Alan Keyes
In this respect, granting homosexuals the right to marry is like granting plantation owners the right to own slaves.
Alan Keyes
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.
Alan Keyes
In the great Declaration of our principles, it didn't say that all are created equal if you so choose. It said that all are created equal by the power and the will of God, and that we must respect their rights as we respect that will.
Alan Keyes
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.
Alan Keyes
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
Rights come from God and only from God.
Alan Keyes
It is the absence of bars that makes a beast free - but only the truth can make a man free.
Alan Keyes
The Assault Weapons Ban deals with a fictional distinction. You have guns that are exactly the same guns as are banned, in function, that were banned because of the way they look. And you know, that's the whole truth of this policy: it's to make politicians look as if they are doing something, when in point of fact, they are doing nothing.
