Politics and Christianity: Alan Keyes

An excerpt from an article by Michael Medved:

The point to remember is that all those who dismissed Huckabee as a one-dimensional candidate who appeals exclusively to Evangelicals ought to look closely at the numbers and the enthusiasm he inspired in Iowa.

I believe he won in part due to the fact that he came across as the sunniest, most likeable, least angry candidate in the bunch. Obama’s victory also indicates that voters didn’t buy anger, rage, indignation – they preferred the most positive, uplifting, cheerful of the candidates. In the Snow White Caucuses (yeah, Iowa’s covered with snow) the voters turned away from dwarves like Grumpy (Tom Tancredo), Sleepy (Fred Thompson), Doc (Ron Paul), Dopey (Sam Brownback) and Krazee (Alan Keyes ….all right, I know “Krazee” wasn’t one of the original dwarves but the Keyes-ster deserves an entirely new category). Meanwhile, Huckabee may not exactly be Prince Charming, but he’s charming and funny and cheerful enough.

Comment Policy

1. Speak the truth in love
Comments containing untruths and misrepresentations will be deleted unless we think it more important that they be corrected by dialogue with other readers of Politics and Christianity.

Truth is not always pretty, and attempts to clarify can sometimes be cutting (e.g. satire, irony, etc.). However, every attempt should be made to keep comments within the bounds of Christian civility.

2. Don't use words that your Momma wouldn't like
Comments with abusive, blasphemous, coarse, crude, dirty, disrespectful, filthy, foul, godless, impious, impure, indecent, irreverent, nasty, obscene, profane, raunchy, sacrilegious, smutty, or vulgar language will be deleted post-haste. Euphemisms and abbreviations of an ungodly nature are included in the preceding list.

3. Stay on-topic
What you are saying may be very interesting, but it will probably be deleted if it does not relate to the post on which it is appended.

4. No drive-bys
Comments that appear to be cut-and-paste propaganda, rather than attempts to dialogue, will be deleted.

5. Don't assume too much
Sometimes we will respond to your comment and other times we will not; so, (a) do not think we are uninterested in what you have to say if we do not respond, and (b) do not assume that we agree with someone just because we do not respond, -- we actively practice both Proverbs 26:4 and Proverbs 26:5.

6. Publish your ideas instead
If you have more than a few paragraphs to share on a topic, consider submitting it to the editors of Politics and Christianity for publication as a separate article, rather than as a comment. You can submit articles for consideration to editor@politicsandchristianity.com.

7. You retort, we decide
There is no board of arbitration on the issues cited above. The editors of Politics and Christianity are the final authority on what appears here.
