It just ain't fair!
Poor Alan Keyes, he is just so misunderstood and abused:
In reality, nothing could be further from the truth. Not long after I received the forwarded link, I got a phone call from the lady who helps me keep my schedule. She reported that the controversial nature of my efforts at Notre Dame is already adversely affecting requests for speaking engagements, which is my main source of income for my family. It wouldn't be the first time that my commitment to the pro-life cause has had this effect. Some time ago, as a result of my efforts to promote better understanding of the importance of US support for Israel's existence, I was often invited to speak at fundraising events for Jewish organizations. But in my political efforts I gave unstinting priority to the defense of innocent life. Thanks to strong support for so-called abortion rights from some quarters in the Jewish community, as this priority became known it virtually eliminated such requests for speaking engagements.
I weep - weep! - at the thought of poor, poor Ambassador Keyes being unable to get more speaking engagements, because of the evil way those heathens treat him!
I'm not sure how I'll get through the day, crying like this.

And yet, we owe him so much as a nation...
His debates with Barack Obama in the Illinois senatorial race were just amazing. I used to pull the car over and just listen in astonishment. I realized then that I knew nothing about anger management at all, and that Obama had explored Olympic reaches of that human endeavor.
Seriously, if Keyes didn't exist, we'd have to invent him. All the houses on my street that had Palin signs last Fall, had Keyes signs on them back in that race.
Keyes sucks, and blows
I remember when that blowhard ran for Senator here in Illinois a few years back. That was friggin scary. He had no chance, but it was just amazing to be exposed to someone so completely insane.
Cell count
I wish that the "pro-life" people would put their efforts elsewhere, like maybe trying to help actual human beings who need help? It's as if they care more for a small cluster of cells than an actual person.
