The time is now
By Brad Turner
It has been quite a while since I have written a column, but I have enjoyed the free for all that is American politics. You see, the game is never over and the end of one election is the beginning of another. I have noticed the number of candidates that have thrown their hats into the ring to lead this country in 2008. I am still waiting on one to wow me, but that hasn't happened yet.
For some reason we do not have a clear cut, Ronald Reagan conservative to push to the front. We have allowed ourselves to be put on the defensive by the anti-America crowd and we won't swing back. We have been labeled as "mean-spirited," "radicals," "warmongers," and the like. We have lost our fight and we need to regain it before it is 2008.
I think that leader is right here in our midst. We all know him, we all respect him, and we all would follow him. I want to encourage Dr. Alan Keyes to consider setting up an exploratory committee to run for President of the United States. As quoted recently in a New York Times article, Christian conservatives have no one to turn to right now and that needs to change.
Dr. Keyes is the cure for what currently ails America. We are at a crossroad of moral decay and human secular arrogance, and that movement has people in the highest levels of power. It WILL NOT get any better under individuals like Nancy Pelosi, Ted Kennedy, John Kerry, and Henry Waxman setting the secular agenda for our children and grandchildren for the next 10 years. Folks, we have judges ordering homosexuality to be taught to Christian children at the age of 9, we have the homosexual movement roaring full steam ahead, yet we sit and do nothing. It's time to fight.
I watched Dr. Keyes on television when he was speaking at a recent event and was re-energized by his commitment and his ideas. Our foundation is based on truth and strong moral fiber. We lean towards becoming Rome if we don't do something now. I cringe when I think of what we could have if a secular liberal is elected to lead our country for the next 4 years. You will have the United Nations in disguise as the Stars and Stripes.
I can't think of a time in the last 30 years that America needs someone with Dr. Keyes credentials, beliefs, leadership, and dedication to the conservative cause to step up more than right now. We are looking for someone we can pass on the mantle of Reagan to before it is too late. Dr. Keyes exemplifies leadership and character to the highest degree, and his time is now.
I understand his concerns, the demand away from his family, the grueling hours spent on the campaign trail, but America is at a crisis point. The leadership Dr. Keyes can provide will evoke the ghosts of our Founding Fathers. Dr. Keyes just flat out gets it in regards to our Constitution and what the Founding Fathers had in store for our country.
The Constitution has been perverted by secular agendas and individuals. We all know church and state is a myth perpetuated by the ACLU and other anti-Christian organizations. Dr. Keyes is one of the few leaders who understand how the country was established to be governed, and we need it now more than ever. I encourage others to contact Dr. Keyes and tell him that America needs his leadership!
You might think this is an attempt to curry favor with Dr. Keyes, because this is his site. Believe me, it is not. It is a cry for real reform. It is a cry for limited government. It is a cry for a return to what made this country strong. Dr. Alan Keyes can provide that necessary leadership to turn this country around and stand against radical Islam, rogue dictators, and secular movements designed to harm America.
I encourage those who read this article to forward it on to those of a like mind. My e-mail address is available at the top of the column, and let's let Dr. Keyes know the time is now for his return to the forefront of the conservative movement. If you feel the same way that I do, contact me and let's see what happens when hard-working conservative Americans unite behind a banner of conservatism that hasn't been seen since Ronald Reagan.
Dr. Keyes, think about it. Pray about it.....................and let's all picture America if we don't do our best to try and change her from the current path. That should be enough to stir our hearts and minds into action. Our children's future is at stake, so how could we do anything less than fight?
