Asserts the conservative activist, about the U.S. presidential election: "But which of these candidates advocates policies that would actually
remove the perversely distorting hand of centralized bureaucratic
regulation and control from our economic life? Which of them now boldly
declares that we must abolish the federal income tax; dismantle the
monstrous hybrid of private profiteering and barely-concealed socialism
that is the Federal Reserve system; and put the expanding beachheads of
socialism in our health and retirement sectors on a path toward orderly
extinction?"
Mr. Keyes continues his commentary: "The issues that are the litmus test for this principle of reality [that humans are more than economic beings] are
the very ones they run from, these red and blue politicos — issues like
abortion and homosexual 'marriage,' which often add a vibrant streak of
yellow to their red and blue profession. The main imperative of their
virtual-reality politics reduces politics to economics, economics to
physical survival, and physical survival to the faithless pursuit of
material things. There is no place in it for the acknowledgment of our
true nature, which includes in the account of our welfare the debt we
owe to the Creator God. They are making of our politics what they have
already made of what they call our sexuality — a realm from which all
true thoughts of God are banished, lest they interfere with our worship
of what we ourselves do make — strange images of death and love,
prosperity and power."
Alan Keyes: "Barack Obama & Mitt Romney Are A Pair Of Socialists. There Is No Real Choice In This Election"
